Just a thought: during our own War of Independence, the British troops called the Americans cowards because they would not stand in rank and file, according to the prevailing tactics of the day. Instead, the Americans fought "asymetrically", ambushing, targeting the British officers, attacking supply lines. Here in Iraq, we are faced with an enemy who also fights "asymetrically". Calling the enemy "cowards" didn't win the war for the British, nor will it win the war in Iraq. IEDs are a deadly, effective way to kill American troops. Calling the insurgents "cowards" only displays the frustration on our part and signals our weakness at neutralizing this tactic. Better that we just admit that they are "clever" and get on with the task of killing them all.

Too bad the licenses of most of the MSM can't be revoked. They serve no useful purpose to this country.
