I honestly expected you to tell us that they were announcing it at a mosque in London or something.

That’s what I was thinking when I first saw it too. That said, very little surprises me about England anymore today. Much of what happens there now only serves as an important lesson about why they’re a bad role model that shouldn’t be followed.

against a small number of loose, shifting and disparate groups who have relatively little in common apart from their our identification with others who share their our distorted view of the world and their our idea of being part of something bigger”

Chop!!!

Head jihadi “…and this little British idiot believed we’d be open to them winning the battle of ideas rather than military force”. Heh. Bloody idealistic chap.

That Which Must Not Be Named™.

How do you do that?

“The Oil Wars”
“The War for Halliburton et al”
“Bush’s War”
“The War on American Imperialism”
“The War to Liberate Palestine”

Bow to Mecca… it’s your only hope!

I thought Queen Pelosi already cleared this up. It’s not a war, it’s a “situation to be solved”, remember?

The War Against Crazy Muslims
The War To Defeat Jihadist Maniacs
The War To End Islamic Terrorists
The War Against Mohamedan Nutjobs
The War To Preserve Our Sense of Humor

However, PC being what it is, we also don’t want to call it a war on Fundamentalist Islam or Islamic Jihad or any of a number of other more accurate names.

We don’t like “The Long War” because that makes us feel sad and makes it sound like we can’t just set a withdrawal date and end all wars.

I propose that we call it “The Hot War” (to contrast with the Cold War, of course) and that we make Paris Hilton the official spokesperson of “The Hot War”….c’mon folks….just imagine how she’ll say it….”This war is hottttt.” Then, maybe, just maybe, the majority of people in this country will care about the war enough to learn a thing or two about it. I’m not going to hold my breath though.

“Today, in the Struggle Against A Small Number Of Loose, Shifting And Disparate Groups Who Have Relatively Little In Common Apart From Their Identification With Others Who Share Their Distorted View Of The World And Their Idea Of Being Part Of Something Bigger, troops from the 2nd Marine Division encountered heavy resistance…”

Doesn’t quite work. Maybe it should simply be called That Which Must Not Be Named™.

Assume they’ll go with “War on Islamic Jihad” from now on?

That would be more precise. I like it.

Assume they’ll go with “War on Islamic Jihad” from now on?

It would be like tossing out the title “World War II” because we didn’t get the memo that Italy, Germany, and Japan had the same goal.

P.S. I think it’s more of a thing to disconnect Iraq with everything that Americans/Brits want us to be in a fight against.

The Dems are who we thought they were….and we let ‘em off the hook.

Yep.

And we’re still doing it.
