insurgency
An insurgent is someone who is not in the official military of a nation but fights against a country in a rebellion (see
insurgency). The Iraq War was actually a short war, it's now an insurgency. There are insurgencies all over the world,
Chechnya for example.It's not just a 'liberal term' for 'terrorist', grow up. Not all insurgents are terrorists, while many feel they must resort to such tactics.Get out of your redneck holes and
get educated. Stop blaming all of your problems on liberals, Bush was the one who lied about WMDs and started the pointless war.

A word for
rebel that the
Bush Administration uses to define
freedom fighters in Iraq becuase the administration thinks that it sounds more like "inserted" implying that the rebel forces are from outside Iraq and therefore less legitimate.
Example:
"
Let's not use 'rebel,' that will remind kids too much of Star Wars and they might start thinking that these people have a right to defend their country from foreign invaders. Use 'insurgent,' instead. That way it sounds like they're
terrorists rather than just people trying to defend their homes."

A term that relates to someone fighting in a
guerrilla war/
insurrection. It basically means somebody fighting or rebelling against their home country (ex. someone in Libya shooting at pro-governmnt forces.) However, to the
Bush Administration and anyone who watches Fox News, it means a terrorist or someone fighting against U.S troops or any of their allies.
Does not mean a terrorist, Fox News and Bush may think so, but that isn't true at all.
Example:
Bush: I got it! Let's call them
insurgents! People won't tell the difference between them and
terrorists!
Ha ha ha!!!

Members of
the radical Islam movement. As long as they are losing, they are allowed to be killed, beaten, arrested, convicted of
war crimes, and called terrorists. But it's all okay in the eyes of most Americans (
red-necks), because they're fighting against a great democratic revolution that changed their world for the better. (yeah right)
Example:
While the USSR was occupying Afghanistan in the 80s,
Soviets said that rebels were counter-revolutionaries and
insurgents, whereas the US called them
freedom fighters. The freedom fighters were members of the same group as "insurgents" in Iraq today.
