This is a clever one.
Liberal Democrats are now criticizing President Bush for calling the enemy terrorists and suggested that if the U.S. were to pull out of Iraq immediately that the insurgents would stop fighting, leaving the "true" terrorists significantly weakened.
If only that were so.
Terrorists are defined by what they do, not by a term put on them by deceptive liberals who are employing Bill Clinton's strategy of splitting hairs on terminology.
Someone who walks into a neighborhood pub in Baghdad and blows himself or herself up is not defending their country against Westerners. That's terrorism. They're killing people who live there, regardless of whether any Americans are there or not. And regardless of what they say afterwards, the innocent are just as dead. Words won't bring them back.
So don't fall for this "insurgent vs. terrorist" thing that Congressional Democrats are going on about. It's oversimplification to a radical degree by a group of Senators who have already surrendered and want everyone else to follow suit. They can go jump off a cliff by themselves, thank you very much.
