White House Officially Drops "War On Terrorrism," "Global War," And "Jihadists" As Acceptable Terms

The Washington Times reports that "it's official. The U.S. is no longer engaged in a 'war on terrorism.' Neither is it fighting 'jihadists' or in a 'global war.' President Obama's top homeland security and counterterrorism official took all three terms off the table of acceptable words inside the White House during a speech Thursday at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank. 'The President does not describe this as a 'war on terrorism,'' said John Brennan, head of the White House homeland security office, who outlined a 'new way of seeing' the fight against terrorism. The only terminology that Mr. Brennan said the administration is using is that the U.S. is 'at war with al Qaeda.'"
