UK: Bush Losing "War on Terror"

It is being reported in Australia that the UK will split with Bush on the "War on Terror" when Tony Blair resigns.

The UK understands how the English language works. Heck! They sort of invented the thing. Why does that matter?

The phrase, War on Terror, is vague, simplistic, misleading, and counterproductive.

Four words often used to describe George Bush and 99.9 percent of Republican leaders. Also another way to very politely, in that uniquely British way, say, the Yanks are lying about making war on terror.

Nor is saying "We're at war with terror!" Meaningless Madison Avenue advertising slogan.

"I am the War President!" "I'm for Law and Order!" "I'm against big Goverment!" "I'm a fiscal conservative!" (Just some more slick and meaningless sound bites from the Lying Right.
