We read:
"During his commencement address to Air Force Academy graduates on Wednesday, President Bush made a fairly uncontroversial declaration. "The war on terror," he said, "will dominate your military careers." But will it always have the same name?
This morning in Financial Times, the Homeland Security Department's top intelligence official became the latest prominent leader to say that the phrase should be dropped. "It is interpreted in the Muslim world as a war on Islam and we don't need this," Under Secretary Charles E. Allen said, adding that it spreads "animus" far beyond the enemy.

It looks like we have now got a war on the un-nameable. Muslims or Jihad can CERTAINLY not be mentioned.

Considering they award Service and Expeditionary military medals to servicemen that say "Global War on Terror" I wonder if they will start calling the whole thing something else and create new medals. Or will they just call it one thing but award service for the same as against 'terror.'
nono, not the WAR on the unnamable.
The difference of opinion with those who don't agree with us.
Let's see. They declared war on us, a jihad, but we can't name them? They will censor it? Like JJGR censors here? We are in deepest, darkest doody.
Wake up friends, America is lost! Want more proof? Just wait until you see who gets elected in Nov.
What government has attempted to do is apply the Orwellian theory of Doublethink.
Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.
The Government intellectual knows in which direction his memories must be altered; he therefore knows that he is playing tricks with reality; but by the exercise of doublethink he also satisfies himself that reality is not violated.
The process has to be conscious, or it would not be carried out with sufficient precision, but it also has to be unconscious, or it would bring with it a feeling of falsity and hence of guilt.
Ergo: Terror means tranquility and tranquility means terror!
Makes perfect sense to me.
Mobius said it all!
If the liberals can have the name of the war removed then many will forget what it is that we're fighting for. It will become just 'a war'. The negative connotations of a nameless war are enough to turn people's view on it.
Um,... so, just what are we fighting for in Iraq?
"Wake up friends, America is lost!"
No it ain't anonymous.
I've located it on my GPS (Navstar)
It's just below Canada and above Mexico!
The war in Iraq is to enrich some industrialists and their hangers-on.
If the Defense department doesn't like "War on Terror", I have a better, even more accurate and precise name - "The War against Predatory Muslim Pirates". The enemy is entirely motivated by Islam and nothing else, their actions define themselves as pirates, and what the Muslim pirates are doing is practicing illegitimate predatory warfare without valid cause. Even better, the laws to deal with pirates have been on the books for over 200 years. It's time to re-discover them and once again start enforcing them.
