Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has now fully succumbed to the disease known as verbiosis bureacratitis.
"The Pentagon’s long struggle over how to describe the war in Iraq moved to new ground Tuesday as Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said he wanted to retire the term 'insurgents' in favor of 'enemies of the legitimate Iraqi government.'"
Ah, that adds clarity.
But the Pentagon has the cure! It is acronymitus militarius.
Rest assured, if Rumsfeld's terminology hangs on a little longer, ELIGs will be our enemy in Iraq and it will be in the big book of acronyms that the DoD thoughtfully provides.
