Preferred nomenclature

Since we are now an ally of the great North American Nation, we issue the following advisory:

The Obama administration appears to be backing away from the phrase "global war on terror," a signature rhetorical legacy of its predecessor.

In a memo e-mailed this week to Pentagon staff members, the Defense Department's office of security review noted that "this administration prefers to avoid using the term 'Long War' or 'Global War on Terror' [GWOT.] Please use 'Overseas Contingency Operation.' " [link]

Also,

Instead of referring to threats from terrorists, Janet Napolitano is referring in her speeches to "man-caused disasters." In an interview, a reporter for Germany's Spiegel Online asked Napolitano whether her avoidance of the term terrorism means that "Islamist terrorism suddenly no longer pose[es] a threat to your country?"

"Of course it does," Napolitano replied. "I presume there is always a threat from terrorism. In my speech, although I did not use the word 'terrorism,' I referred to 'man-caused' disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur." [link]

So, does it mean that "freedom fighter" is no longer the preferred nomenclature? Perhaps we should call them "disaster causing men".

Unconfirmed sources say the new nomenclature for Hindus is "suckers", as in the suckers will be left holding a huge invoice for expensive nuclear reactors in their hands while the rest of the world gulps down cheap oil. Also, they will be made to commit troops for the Overseas contingency operation, made to part with "disputed territory" in exchange for peace with "disaster causing men".
