It's the "war on terror" again.

That effort to rebrand the "war on terror" as the "global struggle against violent extremism" is over:
In a speech here, Mr. Bush used the phrase "war on terror" no less than five times. Not once did he refer to the "global struggle against violent extremism," the wording consciously adopted by Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and other officials in recent weeks after internal deliberations about the best way to communicate how the United States views the challenge it is facing.

Good. I didn't like the change. But how embarrassing to change and then change back.
