resoliferation
n.— «In an interview with GQ Magazine, Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) explained why resoliferation ©™ such as this is important (ok, he didn’t use the word resoliferation ©™, but humor me), when he revealed that the Bush administration tried to get Congress to approve military action anywhere in the Middle East—not just in Iraq—in the fall of 2002. According to Senator Hagel, the Bush administration presented Congress with a resolution that would have authorized the use of force anywhere in the region.» —“Resoliferation ©™” by Carah Ong Iran Nuclear Watch (Washington, D.C.)
