Britain To Stop Use Of The Phrase 'War on Terror'
Since Congress released that report a while back saying Iraq had no ties to al-Qaeda shouldn't we stop using that phrase? Which is the worst lie, I did not have sex with that women or calling Iraq a war on terror?
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.
The shift marks a turning point in British political thinking about the strategy against extremism and underlines the growing gulf between the British and American approaches to the continuing problem of radical Islamic militancy. It comes amid increasingly evident disagreements between President George Bush and Tony Blair over policy in the Middle East.
