Daniel pipes is blowing smoke. Yes, Bush has said Islam is a religion of peace. But he has also defined the enemy very well. And I assume if I take the time to quote him, oh lets say, 12 times defining the enemy succinctly, then you'll quit harping on this meme.

Note again these lines:
"But Bush's words to the National Endowment for Democracy proved to be major indeed--not to mention most welcome. In his speech, Bush all but admitted that the war on terrorism, a phrase he himself practically coined, is actually a misnomer. The United States is engaged in a struggle not against terrorism per se, Bush said, but against something more specific--an evil ideology that inspires terrorism. And, for the first time, Bush gave this evil a name.
"Some call this evil Islamic radicalism; others, militant Jihadism; still others, Islamofascism," Bush explained, before, for his own purposes, settling on the term Islamic radicalism
This was written in 2005 about a Bush speech in 2005. If you choose to disagree, which of course you may, why don't you provide a reference prior to 2005 in which Bush defined the terrorism we fight as Islamic radical extremism ? If you can't, it's you who are blowing smoke.
