The English just uncovered a 911-magnitude plot in London today, as most of you know. Twnety-one Muslims have been arrested as a result and more are to follow. While the plot failed, there is already speculation that the airline industry cannot handle the economic fallout.
Bush responded to this plot by using a new phrase to describe the Muslims behind this plot. As we all know, the media uses a whole slew of PC phrases to describe the attackers, stufff like: "terrorists", "radical Islam", "militants", "insurgents"..etc. CNN actually used the phrase "War against Islamists" when Lou Dobbs declared that "since most armed conflicts today involve Islamists, its seems silly for us to continue to call this a 'war on terror' and therefore today we will call it a 'war against Islamists'".
As you probably guessed, leftists and the Islamic lobby (CAIR) put the screws to Lou Dobbs and CNN quickly stopped the use of the more accurate phraselogy.
Does Bush's new phrase represent a change?
