The Bush administration has apparently declared an end to the phrase “War on Terror.” The White House has quietly changed the name to “the global struggle against violent extremism.” The New York Times cites administration officials as saying that the phrase “war on terror” may have outlived its usefulness, because it “focused attention solely on the military campaign.” Gen. Richard Myers, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the National Press Club on Monday that he had “objected to the use of the term 'war on terrorism' before, because if you call it a war, then you think of people in uniform as being the solution.” Administration and Pentagon officials say the new name grew out of meetings of President Bush’s senior national security advisers that began in January. It also comes as Bush appoints one of his most trusted aides, Karen Hughes, to lead the administrations international propaganda and PR campaign.
