Pete Hoekstra is one of the GOP's hardcore stooges and he's been one of the more vocal recent critics of how the Obama Administration is dealing with terrorists and he objects to dropping the phrase the Brits found counter-productive. Less than 2 years ago, he had the opposite opinion:
Peter Hoekstra, the top Republican on the House intelligence committee, in an interview said the phrase ”war on terror” was the “dumbest term…you could use”. The Michigan lawmaker, who criticises the Bush administration for using an overly aggressive tone, says he has urged Stephen Hadley, the national security adviser, not to use the expression.
Atrios notes that Hoekstra is on This Week and you can bet this inconsistency won't be mentioned.

Well, Petras is correct on any and all the unnecessary wars draining the U.S. economy.

That's a very good paper - thanx!
