Watching the W's Language After the Terrorist Arrests in London

In discussing today’s events in the UK, President Bush said this (in part):

"President Bush said the arrests were yet another reminder that the United States “is at war with Islamic fascists,” and that while the United States is safer than it was before Sept. 11, 2001, dangers remain."

It seems clear to me that the President and/or his counselors and advisors are actively using the term "Islamofascists" - finally. We have been using for some time to describe that element of Islamic fundamentalists who are bent on the destruction of Israel and the killing of Jews, and, when they are finished with the Jews, the rest of the world's infidels. Language can tell us lots about a person's mindset. The use of the term "Islamic Fascist" out of the lips of the man who can't properly say "nuclear" -- remember "nuculur" -- tells me that he likes "Islamofascist" a lot and what that term represents. For a man who loves shorthand, that term really sums up who they are in one relatively easy-to-say word. His use of the term indicates to me that he and the administration are finally on board with the notion that fighting Hamas, Hoaxbullah and the rest is no less important than the war on the Japanese militaristic imperialists and German Nazi fascists in WWII.

That aside, this news, as sad as it is to contemplate actually happening will be a good thing for the propaganda war on Hezb'Allah er, um, Hoaxb'Allah. The notion that 10 aircraft could have been brought down by Arab Islamofascists will give renewed life to the notion that Israel needs to really kill as many of the Hezb'Allah as they can while they are still confined to Lebanon. We see what they are capable of doing when they are spread throughout the world. Thank God that the authorities caught as many of them as they did. Apparently five are still at large in London.
