Bush says Quaeda plots disrupted (uses word Islamo-fascism)

[Charlie Brown]

I guess it is a war on Islam after all.

President George W. Bush rejected critics demanding a U.S. pullout from Iraq and warned on Thursday of more sacrifice ahead to stop Islamic militants from gaining a foothold for a sweeping radical empire.

"We will never back down, never give in and never accept anything less than complete victory," he said in a speech on Washington's war on terrorism.

Citing recent attacks in London, Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt and Bali, Indonesia, Bush said while the bombings appeared random, they served a clear ideology: "a set of beliefs that are evil but not insane."

He gave a name to the ideology: Islamo-fascism.

Bush used new and more-specific language in characterizing Islamic militants as part of a radical movement much like Soviet-style communism. Rather than dismissing them as terrorist "evildoers" as he once did, he said they have a "clear and coherent ideology" and territorial ambitions.

2. Oh he did not just say that.

Make no mistake, I hate what these militants want to do as well, but he just used this right-wing radio host/pundit term! I've heard Ann Coulter use it!
