How did Gibbs answer the question about the "WAR ON TERROR"??
Someone asked early on if the administration would still be using that term, but I missed the answer.

1. Ongoing Struggle Against Violence and Terror.
OSAVAT instead of GWOT.

2. Really, that's what he said? Not very catchy but better than using "war."

3. I was thrilled to see the report from the NYT: "Bush's War on Terror ...
ends all of a sudden" (or words to that effect).

I dreamed that one of the first things President Obama
could do is -- whether publicly or in another way --
bring to an end this concept of a "War on Terror"
and am thrilled beyond belief to see that he's actually
taking steps toward that end.

Now can we change the "Department of HOMELAND Security"
to the "Department of NATIONAL Security"????

5. He didn't. He answered the Fox guy's question about monetary policy being more effective than spendi
spending

He brushed off the first part about the War on Terror
