Definition for the term "Guerilla War", use it as much as possible.
- A low intensity war; a small defensive force of irregular soldiers, making surpirse raids.

We have to keep on pounding this into the right's terminology, and enlighten people that no matter how many schools and hospitals get fixed, that are armed forces are in a "Guerrilla War".

Partly political and partly defensive.

A war were an invader (us), is ambushed and raided by a smaller force (them: ?republican guard, al-quadia, etc, forgein fighters?).

Major combat is over, but the guerilla war is on. He asked them to "Bring-It-On", and they did.

The presidency is no place for an amatuer political puppet.

1. You should also add to that the following quotation
from Henry Kissinger of all people.

In a guerilla war the guerillas win by not losing while the occupiers lose by not winning.

The reality of Iraq is that we're losing. The more absurd the spin from Bushco becomes, the more obvious it is that the above is true. This morning's spin from Bush & Bremer was trluy Kafkaesque.
