Why don't the Dems call the Iraqis Bush is killing their real name?

[NNN0LHI]

They are Saddam's Republican Guard. Thats who they are. The same Republican Guard that took off their uniforms but kept their guns and became part of the Iraqi citizenry.

Now wouldn't that sound better than mouthing the Repig talking point that they are Al Queda In Iraq which makes it sound like Bush is killing the people responsible for 9/11 in Iraq?

Why do the Dems keep falling for this crap?

1. Unfortunately...

if you really want to use the real name of the Iraqis Bush is killing, I'd have to go with... innocent civilians.

2. Can't we resurrect that wonderful term,

"Freedom Fighters"?? Raygun would be proud.

3. Are they the moral equivalent to our founding fathers?

Of course they aren't because they treat women much worse than we did, and as far as I know, they don't have slaves. Iraq's insurgents are not Americans rebelling against their own government.

They are a nationalist movement. They are rebels. Are they seen as patriots by their own people, or are they just pain in the ass?
