"No, not terrorism, but a ‘tragic event’"

By Mark Steyn

"But relax, this fellow in Frankfurt was most likely a "lone wolf" (as Senator Chuck Schumer described the Times Square Bomber) or an "isolated extremist" (as the president described the Christmas Day Pantybomber). There are so many of these "lone wolves" and "isolated extremists" you may occasionally wonder whether they've all gotten together and joined Local 473 of the Amalgamated Union of Lone Wolves and Isolated Extremists, but don't worry about it: As any Homeland Security official can tell you, "Allahu akbar" is Arabic for "Nothing to see here.""

This administration has a really hard time using the word 'terrorist' - if you don't say the word, there is no problem. The global war on terror is dead; long live "overseas contingency operations".
