Overseas Contingency Operation?

It appears part of the change that President Obama has brought to Washington, D.C. has been to change the vocabulary that is to be used to describe the conflict we are facing. This week it has been announced that instead of the Global War on Terror this administration will be using the more politically correct term, Overseas Contingency Operation.

In related news Secretary Napolitano will be referring to terrorist acts as Man made disasters.

If this change is an inkling of what President Obama will bring to our foreign policy, I can't say it inspires great confidence. The fact that the Administration is changing the vocabulary alone would not be an issue, but it appears they doing this so as not to offend anyone. We of course wouldn't want to offend the terrorists of Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, or Hamas, nor would we want to offend any of the radical Islamists. This is a sign of weakness, and will not engender anything but ridicule from these terrorist groups.
