LONDON, April 16, 2007 (UPI) -- The British government has decided it will no longer use the phrase "War on Terror" because it gives militant groups a shared identity.

So question is.. how will Bush and his friends react to such a thing? Will they condem them as they have done others that have done similar things?

Simple - dental floss will be renamed freedom floss as an adequate response.

What? You don't think we are going to take a semantic name change serious do you? The British are our closest allies in the world.

Well Cheney has critized House Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton (D-MO) because his committee wount use "global war on terror". So has quite a few right wing commentators.

John Boehner - 8th District of Ohio - News

he is critical

so... if right wingers can be critical of Americans who wount use "war on terror" anymore, then they should be as equally critical of allies who refuse to use said words no?
