"Global struggle against violent extremism"
In another excellent Salon article, Sidney Blumenthal points out how bush and his gang of thugs are changing their rhetoric.

No longer blathering on about terrorism but "violent extremism." Don't you know how confusing this is to the christian right. Ministers in their klaverns from coast to coast are probably expecting an armed attack from the United States Military any minute now.

Americans were getting so sick of all the sacrifices they have had to make in undertaking this mighty War. Finally it is over. Did we win?

Lakshmi Chaudhry has the best title for a blog entry on this change in rhetoric.
