Wolfowitz: "Forces of Reaction" not "Resistance"
More resistance likely

Two more soldiers killed; 'forces of reaction,' not 'resistance,' Wolfowitz says.



"Sgt. Luis R. Pinto (left) from Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico, breaks down Sunday at a memorial service in Habbaniya, Iraq, for his friend, Spc. Joel Bertoldie of Independence, Mo. On the right is Spc. Jeremy Brannon of Mobile, Ala. Bertoldie was killed last weekend when a bomb was detonated beneath his vehicle in Fallujah."

Damn you Wolfowitz!

1. Michael Moore's 'Bowling for Columbine' should be required viewing
for the masses who have to put up with this pathetic propaganda rehtoric. Never before in the history of this counrty has an administration use 'fear' more blatantly than the Bush administrtion. Anyone who thinks saddam has a chance in hell of regaining power in Iraq as long as the US is a power has a hole in their head!!

Bushshit quote:

Abizaid was joined at a lunch with reporters by Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy secretary of defense, who has made a point of insisting that the attackers not be called "resistance."

He says they should be called "forces of reaction" whose sole aim is to restore Saddam to power and thereby regain the positions of privilege and power they enjoyed in the old regime.

Won't it be humorus to see which of the news outlets starts using this pathetic phrase "forces of reaction?

For crying out loud.

3. Why stop there?
Maybe they should consider replacing the terms death and fatalities with: "involuntary life submission".

4. This picture is an indictment of the warmongers amongst us
Here we are in an endless war against a country that posed no threat to us, led by men like Wolfowitz who did not serve our country when called upon to do so, causing the death of men like Joel Bertoldie
who are infinitely better than Wolfowitz is ever likely to be, and he has the gall to quibble about terminology!For his information, it is the US led by Bush, Powell, Rumsfeld and Rice that is in defiance of the UN and because its original reasons for this aggression against Iraq have been proven to be fraudulent, can rightly be called the war criminals.Mr.Wolfowitz belongs in the same club as Hermann Goering, Goebbels and the rest of them.
