Should of been titled Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism (GSAVE). While I would be the first to lampoon the adminstration for trying to shift debate through an Orwellian use of language, I happen to agree that Global War On Terrorism (GWOT) is a particularly bad name for what we are engaged in. While it's correct to say, "Ha!, you are changing your position!". I think the _new_ position is correct and the old one improper. Sounds like the administration is switching back to GWOT. At least Rummy is. Condi might not be. Just like we are simultaneously bringing in more troops and preparing to withdraw. Likewise, I am happy to point the finger and charge "HYPOCRITE" every time the administration changes policy, i.e., flip-flopping. It's the inability of this administration to change based on the reality of failure that is so frustrating. I want more flip-flops. I want Bush to recognize that flip-flopping is a good thing. --- By the way, I missed the 4th anniversary of the daily intelligence briefing --given to Bush while working in Crawford on Aug 6th, 2001--- that warned of Bin Laden's determination to strike America.

Are we still responsible for Ahmed Chalabi's safety?

Grammer Police missed "Should of been" in place of "Should have been". I hope we aren't paying you people.

I think my dad's a bit of an extremist; he keeps talking about how Europe has been condemning Israel for cracking down on terrorists over the decades, and now that London is getting bombed again, they're all over shooting Brazilians that look like they might be causing some trouble. Just sayin'.

beauty salons all over London have experienced a drop in profits, because now people know the Metropolitan police are doing Brazilians for free.....
