No More GWOT

Talking Points Memo reports that the White House has, in fact, dropped “Global War On Terror” or “GWOT” from its lexicon.

But today, none other than Secretary of State Hillary Clinton confirms it: Whether a directive’s been issued or not, the administration has dropped GWOT from its lexicon.

“I haven’t gotten any directive about using it or not using it…. The administration has stopped using the phrase and I think that speaks for itself,” said Clinton while en route to the Hague.

There are many critics of the Obama Administration at the moment (though there seems to be more critics in the media than in the general populous). But things like this put a smile on my face. Some may not see any changes taking place. I see them on a near-daily basis. It’s refreshing, to say the very least.
