In the minds of left-wing journos everywhere: (((ROVE TO RUMSFELD, CHENEY: "We need to save the 2006 Elections, GO PAC!"- No more DOOMSDAY MACHINE -- No more Dr Strangelove impressions! )))

NYT: New Name for 'War on Terror' Reflects Wider U.S. Campaign

"In recent speeches and news conferences, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and the nation's senior military officer have spoken of "a global struggle against violent extremism" rather than "the global war on terror," which had been the catchphrase of choice. Administration officials say that phrase may have outlived its usefulness, because it focused attention solely, and incorrectly, on the military campaign."
