What terrorists? The al Qaeda? The ones we almost obliterated in 2001-2002?

The 'insurgents' are not terrorists. They are Iraqis who oppose by force the US invasion. Terrorists, by their modern meaning, are members of a group pushing an adjenda by threatening or using force in order to intimidate or coerce. Wanting not to be invaded is hardly an ideological adgenda.
