Does the Clown Think His New Joint Chiefs Chairman Is ‘Naïve’?


From Thinkprogress:
In May, former senator John Edwards (D-NC) said that “war on terrorism” is a “slogan designed only for politics, not a strategy to make America safe.” During a press conference, Bush attacked critics of the phrase, calling them “naive“:
This notion about how this isn’t a war on terror in my view is naïve. It doesn’t reflect the true nature of the world in which we live, you know?

Al Kamen reports today that incoming Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike McMullen is also opposed to the use of the words “
global war on terror“:
Seems the incoming chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Adm. Michael Mullen, has banned the use of the phrase
“Global War on Terror” (GWOT) and has prohibited using it “in any future correspondence,” according to a Sept. 27 e-mail from a Mullen aide.
