We are talking about a war and so far the suicide bombings in Iraq have been aimed purely at military personnel - therefore they are not acts of terrorism. Are we also rewriting history to redefine the Japanese Kamakaze pilots of WWII as 'Terrorists' too?
As for the training facilities, why are they 'terrorist' training factilities rather than military ones?

No one can prove that the suicide bombing vests were intended for terrorists outside of Iraq or for paramilitary groups within Iraq or even specifically for this conflict (or any other for that matter)....the British report on the "terrorist training facilities" that they found had no resemblance to anything "military" as far as what has been labeled as "military installations" inside Iraq...I used both to make a point...that the shift of the war had changed overnight to terrorism.
Funny now today it has changed to how Syria is hiding Iraqi leaders who fled into that country after being missed by our heavy-handed strikes...who knows what it will be tomorrow.
