Well, here comes Ike Skelton, a Missouri Democrat and chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. Skelton had a staffer draw up a little memo instructing staffers and members that the references to the war on terror should be eliminated from the 2008 defense budget. it seems that the Democratic house leadership doesn't like the phrase.

The rub here seems to be that the phrase "Global war on terror" was first used by none other than the hated and reviled (by Democrats) George Bush shortly after 9/11. The intent is to leave the word "terror" out of the lexicon of the Armed Services Committee. Who knows, perhaps if they stop using the "T" word so much, people will forget the threat we face and Democrats will have all that much more money to spend on vote buying, killing the rich and appeasing Moveon.org.
