An insurgent is someone who is not in the official military of a nation but fights against a country in a rebellion (see insurgency). The Iraq War was actually a short war, it'
s now an insurgency. There are insurgencies all over the world, Chechnya for example.
It's not just a '
liberal term' for 'terrorist', grow up. Not all insurgents are terrorists, while many feel they must resort to such tactics.
Get out of your
redneck holes and get educated. Stop blaming all of your problems on liberals,
Bush was the one who lied about WMDs and started the pointless war.
