I can see where the word "infinite" would be a problem to some of the countries who are cooperating in this effort.

It is the sort of thing that our enemies can use in their propaganda to undermine the countries that are supporting our effort. It will cause problems in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, etc. The radicals within those countries will use this misstep in their campaigns to overthrow the rulers in those countries.

The jokes about nuking Mecca, pork bombs, headdresses, etc. will offend our allies as well as our enemies. It will sow distrust and ill will among the Islamic countries who are cooperating with the U.S.. Ultimately, it is a great disservice to our military mission.

If this is the New Political Correctness - so be it. This is war.

"If this is the New Political Correctness - so be it. This is war."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hal you just don't get it do you? Our so called allies in the muslim world are all laughing behind our backs. Publicly they say they are with us, but meanwhile their citizens are either dancing in the streets at our misfortune or burning our flag, and their clerics are calling for a Jahad against the US, before we have even retaliated. Its time to realize Islam has declared war on the civilized world, and the US is it's #1 target. Do we really need to worry that we might offend them? I mean they really can't get any madder at us then they already are right? We have tried being nice, its time to take of the gloves. This is a battle of cultures, Islam vs. the west. The Mullahs see western culture winning through TV and the internet, and so have declared holy war against our influence. We have to fight, the alternative is to live as slaves under constant fear.
