Nope, you heard it. Both the reporter AND the guy on the phone said it; and they said it just like it had been in our vocabulary forever!
There is another word coined by W that I would like to see become official - "suicider"
It combines the concept of suicide/homicide bomber, and is one single word. For all that the media make their living using words, they have a deficit in their brain to recognize that President Bush can communicate well.
At least, other world leaders in such gatherings as G8, NATO, EU summits, New Europe countries, etc, seem to get the picture when he presents it.
