No you didn't miss another memo, you missed the thread posted.
The Brits ARE dropping the term 'War On Terror'.
Oh you mean the one where The Observer 'claims' that Foreign Office bureaucrats have 'suggested' that Ministers avoid the term for strategic reasons.
I'd make some point about how it seems that unattributed leaks in left wing newspapers suddenly seem to acquire so much more credibility when they support the posters world view and/or trolling agenda. But then I don't really care and I always thought 'war on terror' to be a nonsensical phrase anyway.
