The "War On Terror" Is Over...

... For the British, that is:

Britain stops talk of 'war on terror'

Foreign Office has asked ministers to ditch the phrase invented by Bush to avoid stirring up tensions within the Islamic world

Jason Burke

Cabinet ministers have been told by the Foreign Office to drop the phrase 'war on terror' and other terms seen as liable to anger British Muslims and increase tensions more broadly in the Islamic world. --snip--

Why, oh why have the British abandoned the BushCo WOT catch phrase?

Duh.

Many senior British politicians and counter-terrorism specialists have always been uneasy with the term 'the war on terror', coined by the White House in the week following the 9/11 attacks, arguing that the term risked inflaming opinions worldwide. Other critics said that it was too 'military' and did not adequately describe the nature of the diverse efforts made to counter the new threat.

Looks like it's time for BushCo to introduce a new battle cry campaign...





I guess it's just a matter of time before American Neoconmen (and Neoconwomen) start calling the British "Surrender Monkeys."

Best bar bet in the world: Delilah didn't do it.
