I think Obama said it for political reasons. Which is what I disagree with. Obama is the consummate politician. Why he won twice. If he does not call them terrorists, people will not think he is reasonable. Obama knows people xpect him to call them terrorists and few want any argument about it. Republicans have stopped Obama over and over from moving the people in gitmo to the US for trial for some BS reason or another. They are too dangerous to need to be dealt with by the military. And half those people there seem to be innocent being sold for money by Afghanistan tribesmen to our military. Bush liked to use the word terrorist so he could use it for political reasons to whip people up for his causes and now everyone is on that band wagon of terrorism. But if one drills down to the bottom of what those kids were they were just two dumb kids. The older brother was a religious fanatic (dumb) and the 19 year old seems to have just mindlessly followed in his footsteps. thi things I have seen that he said were pretty dumb. What is a terrorist exactly?
