re: Says me.

I'm not the one calling all the attackers Terrorists or Saddamites- I'm saying we must leave open the possibility that they are acting off of patriotism...

Geez, I leave "open the possibility" that Saddam successfully hid his evidence of WMD and you climb up a tree and throw crap on my head.

And before you get too comfortable on the soapbox (it IS nice up there, isn't it? I've always thought so.), who the hell is calling the Iraqi attackers "terrorists?"

With a few exceptions (I think some university guy got shot), all the targets have been armed military personnel under the conditions of what is undeniably an ongoing military operation. While this is certainly not something I like to see, this still does not fit MY definition of a terrorist.

You said Bremer used the term, but in the three transcripts of his different Sunday morning shows, a text search does not show the term. Do you have a source?

Now guerilla fighters is appropriate, and the Left loves the term since it feeds their Vietnam jones. I kind of like "dead-enders," which works on a couple of levels.

And I don't care if the guy shooting at us is bloody George Mohammed Washington, the sooner he gets his head blown off, the better off everyone will be. These "patriots" are making a career out of destroying Iraq's infrastructure, too, in case we forget.
