I agree that "attack" is not inherently

the word "attack" being used to describe the campaign. If this is also true
with a majority of other English speakers then the word "attack" should be
used regardless of the fact that the operation is more appropriately called
an invasion.
Well at the beginning, it wasn't an invasion, it was largely aerial bombing.
Since "attack" covers both these, it seems a not-unreasonable word to use.
This is a discussion hat should be on the Talk page, not on the list.
