They’re not Insurgents – They're Terrorist Cockroaches!

[pissant]

comparing the "insurgents" to cockroaches is an insult; to the roaches. A better description is "godless, fetid piles of s**t."

Good title...He HE

"In truth, these anti-American Americans embody the terrorists’ false hope for victory. They unwittingly add fuel to the fire."

I'm not sure how unwitting it is.

[BackInBlack]

By the way -- and I swear I'm not asking this with a liberal smirk -- does anyone have a working definition of terrorism vs. insurgent?

[Viking2002]

Ewwww - look at the big fat one. Step on it before it breeds....... :-)

[dmz]

Can I please make one point, unrelated to the main thrust of the thread.

Major combat operations are not finished in Iraq, regardless of what Mr. Bush said those many months ago. When you have 10-15 thousand troops clearing a city (Fallujah), that is a major combat operation.

Now as far as the use of the term insurgent is concerned, it is an accurate use of the word, whether we like it or not. One need only consult a dictionary to conclude this. They are, at the same time, terrorists involved in the insurgency. One can be a terrorist and an insurgent at the same time.

[GrandEagle]

I'll bet they would cut fat boys head off just the same.
Maybe THATS why he hasn't joined them in person.

Agreed!!

This points to a central failure in our current war effort - the home front. Somewhere along the road in this war we lost the battle of semantics. Instead of fighting unholy terrorists only worthy of a swift, gruesome and timely demise we are fighting insurgents or worse yet revolutionaries. We have legitimized our enemies!!!

Indeed the MSM has done their very best to make the lowly, putrid, jihadist, terrorist maggots, more noble than the very U.S. Soldiers and Marines fighting this scum on a daily basis. The MSM accounts of the GWOT in Iraq depict the "insurgents" mission as pure, noble, and easily understood while the U.S. mission in Iraq is at best portrayed as besotted by partisan politics on who voted for what money, auto-pen scandals, a lack of body armor or WMD, and endless committee reports on why/how we screwed it all up. The MSM doesn't even have half of the story right and their continued aggrandizement of the enemy in Iraq only betrays their deeper Anti-Americanism. Why doesn't the MSM focus in on the gravity of what hangs in the balance in Iraq, or who the enemy really is and why they are really doing these awful things. Why not focus in on the successes of our mission and the failures of terrorism. Oh Well, perhaps these hardened war correspondents wouldn't actually recognize the real story in Iraq even if it Blew-Up in front of them. "Democracy in Action Despite the Fear of Death" "Noble People doing Noble Work to Free a Country and Give Hope to a Region" "Free Press in Iraq" "The high Cost of Freedom and its Immeasurable Worth"

The longer this goes on the worse it seems to get..
I am all for the troops and the Administration but
let's help with the election....then clean up as
much as we can and let them go at it....in spite
of it all...I don't feel we need to exacerbate the
situation..it is a religion to them to kill us
and damned if i want to see our grandchildren under
the same terrorists on a consistent basis....Jake

DMZ,

You are sadly wrong on the use of the word INSURGENT. The people we fight in Iraq have zero political vision for the future of Iraq. 90% of the violence is tribal warfare fought by blood lusting fascist nihilists left over from the Saddam Regime. The other 10% is Terrorist Violence perpetrated by sociopath, Islamic Fundamentalist, Nihilists who give Stalin and Hitler a run for their money in terms of pure evil. Jihad is martyrdom for salvation or in other words Death for the sake of Death without end. Neither one of these groups fits into the definition of Insurgent. Neither group seeks to create a new order in Iraq along their particular political agenda. Don't buy into this caliphate crap-ola its propaganda designed to win over recruits for martyrdom. As for the Fascists remnants of the Saddam Years they only want to kill their enemies, which is most of the world. After that they don't have much of a platform either. Neither group has grass roots support indeed according to the most recent polling 92.8% of all Iraqis reject VIOLENCE yet your so called "insurgents" live only for violence.

The problem is that if we don't keep them focused on and in Iraq they will be coming to our shore in more numbers than they are now for us to have to "deal" with them here. And in dealing with them here, there would be a lot of going through the courts, etc......over there we can kill them and save ourselves a lot of money and deaths.

My Websters defines the term insurgent as one "rising in rebellion against the prevailing government". No motivations for those rising against the government are ascribed, so be they nihilists, or radical Islamic terrorists, it is inconsequential.

Given that the terrorists are, in fact, "rising in rebellion against the prevailing government", I am forced to conclude that my defense of the use of the term insurgent is 100% accurate.

Liberals like to redefine terms to suit their political ends, we should not mimic them. Words are what they mean, and the terrorists fighting us in Iraq are accurately called insurgents. Again, note that while terrorist and insurgent may not be synonyms, one can accurately use either term.

Is it just because the New Year is mere seconds away (so you can guzzle a bunch of booze)? Or are you actually slipping rapidly into the Alzheimer's thingy?

You obviously forgot all about Allah, din'tcha? Getcher butt down on your prayer rug and pray... oops, prey for fortakeness !!! ;-))

[GeekDejure]

does anyone have a working definition of terrorism vs. insurgent?
=====
Not much difference. Inserting it into a gent is terror in my opinion !!! ;-))

Ummmm. Not so fast, Sherlock.

An insurgent targets the government, not civilians at random.

Terrorists, have no such self-restraint.

Big enough distinction for me!

Ya got him there buddy..I call them islamic scum myself , just for the record

I got to disagree with you DMZ. Your own definition describes an insurgent as one "rising in rebellion against the prevailing government"

Terrorists murder civilians: men, women and children indiscriminately. Citizens are not to be confused with the government or military of any country.

"They’re not Insurgents – They're Terrorist Cockroaches

As someone has already said, we do a disservice to cockroaches here ( wondering how long until this thread is "pulled"). However we must be carefull what we say about our Muslim brothers, as to insult them is to raise their ire and we all know what happens to Infidels who insult Muslims. NO, not panties on the head or our tackle fondled , I mean CHOP"off with their heads". With their faces covered and under the shroud of anonymity Arabs can do anything. So the police run away if shots are fired, so Iraqi soldiers ( most except a few brave ones ) evaporate at the first hint of danger, so they sell the lives of their comrades for a couple of dollars, they do not shirk and are indeed delighted, to hack off the head of a bound and gagged innocent, Muslim or Christian makes no matter. And the other thing they excel at is 'Swarming'. Whenever there is death in the air they appear, like vultures, mopping up every body part with their bare hands, howling "Allah' to their god and whining about some imagined wrong-doing centuries before. There is no placating these fundamentalists, ( in case you had forgotten who I am on about) and as they pray for death I too pray for them to receive it from our very own Angels:

"Terrorists murder civilians: men, women and children indiscriminately. Citizens are not to be confused with the government or military of any country."

In that case, the people attacking our troops in Iraq are insurgents after all, and NOT terrorists...the only ones who are terrorists are the ones targeting civilians?
