Reading the tea leaves or listening to what this administration says is an exercise in becoming a Soviet-sinologist of the Politburo. I was checking out www.buzzflash.com and this little item caught my eye. Midway down the article, which is a speech by war criminal Rumsfeld, there is a linguistic change in the Bush "war on terror" which is that "We are closer to the beginning of this struggle, this global insurgency, than to its end, he said." Does this mean that will will support any government against an insurgency?

So this "war on terror" now becomes a "war against the 'global insurgency.'" So just as 9/11 was used to lie about Saddam this "war on terror" really is a lie to justify a "war on global insurgency". Since the neo-cons like to use a false history of the founding of this nation to excuse their rose colored vision for a post-democratic Iraq then why not continue this inversion to say that the American Revolution was not about revolution at all?
