Does that refer to anyone who opposes us who is a muslim? No. Does it include any Iraqi who opposes us who happens to be a muslim even though he may be acting strictly out of nationalistic motives? If he is taking part in terroristic violence against us and other Iraqis, yes. Do you make a distinction between the average muslim and islamo-fascists? Of course, why don't you. How do you know all the muslims who oppose us are islamo-fascists? In the case of Iraq, our opponents (the ones committing terrorist acts anyway) are not just against us, but against democracy. After all, it's primarily the secular Sunnis who are planting the bombs, isn't it? You are mistaken to tie secular and Sunni together. The people committing terroristic attacks against us and other Iraqis are not secular, they are Sunni though. Are you referring to "islamic terrorists" who were there before we got there and that's why we went to fight them? Both Or do you mean the ones who came from Syria because they saw an opportunity to kill Americans? Not just from Syria, but from all over the Arab world. Do I understand you to think it's OK to use US military personnel as bait for "islamic terrorists?" It's appropriate to use military personnel to fight islamic terrorists. IS someone who strikes at military targets a terrorist? Not necessarily. But the terrorists in Iraq are attacking both military and civilian targets - like school teachers, day laboreres, etc. Or is that a nationalist?I don't think nationalism is important to the opposition. Were the American revolutionaries who opposed the British occupying force also terrorists? No. And no, it's not going to be AQ that takes down the Saudi royal family. Who is it, oh self-appointed font of wisdom?
