Transcript of Bush's speech >
Rejectionists?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/30/AR2005113000667.html?nav=rss_nation/special

A clear strategy begins with a clear understanding of the enemy we face. The enemy in Iraq is a combination of rejectionists, Saddamists and terrorists.

BUSH: The rejectionists are by far the largest group. These are ordinary Iraqis, mostly Sunni Arabs, who miss the privileged status they had under the regime of Saddam Hussein. And they reject an Iraq in which they're no longer the dominant group.

Not all Sunnis fall into the rejectionist camp. Of those that do, most are not actively fighting us. Some give aid and comfort to the enemy.

Many Sunnis boycotted the January elections. Yet as democracy takes hold in Iraq, they are recognizing that opting out of the democratic process has hurt their interests. And today, those who advocate violent opposition are being increasingly isolated by Sunnis who choose peaceful participation in the democratic process.

1. what this depraved, immoral, piece of shit called GWB is doing in his
blabber is that he is taking salt, pouring it down the wounds of a people who want to emmancipate themselves from the american chain that has befallen them, rubbing that salt in their wounds, making bile with the salt rubbed in their wounds and throwing it in their digestive tracks.

2. It reads like a Pentago to do list.
Is he ever going to give a speech outside of a military compound?

3. Saddamists? Has he used this term before?
obviously I haven't been paying real close attention to his Eye-Rack war whoopin' of late, but I could swear this is a new one.

Hell, Chicken George, why not call 'em Saddam-ites? Your fundie "base" would luv it!

5. So this was Rummy's epiphany about not saying "insurgents"
Dead Enders? No.
Terrierists? No.
Insurgents? No, why Martha, I believes those boys are rejectionists.

Thank the deity we have a PLAN FOR VICTORY! Maybe they're worried that the Geneva Convention talks about insurgents, but probably forgot to cover rejectionists.
