no retreat, no surrender
QUOTE
Iraqi and American officials in Iraq say the single most important fact about the insurgency is that it consists not of a few groups but of dozens, possibly as many as 100. And it is not, as often depicted, a coherent organization whose members dutifully carry out orders from above but a far-flung collection of smaller groups that often act on their own or come together for a single attack, the officials say. Each is believed to have its own leader and is free to act on its own.

I think we need to start an insurgency here. We all have different views but we agree that Bush and his group do not represent any of our views. Let's stop going after each other and start going after the real enemy. We should start breaking out into groups and start plotting some strategy to fight against Bush. While we fight among ourselves he continues to go unchallenged. We are not powerless unless we refuse to act. We have the power of the pen so let's send letters to the editor and start flooding Congress with so many emails that their offices grind to a halt. Let's SCARE them. We can also make phone calls to tell them we know what they are doing and we won't tolerate it anymore. Let's start dogging them like the insurgents in Iraq. Let's get creative and start taking the fight to the enemy instead of sitting on the sidelines complaining about the tactics that our allies are using. If we want to defeat our enemy we have to focus on our enemy.

Today is a good day to begin.
no retreat, no surrender
We are armed with our brains, pens, keyboards & sheer numbers.

An insurgency is an armed rebellion by any irregular armed force that rises up against an established authority, government, or administration. Those carrying out an insurgency are “insurgents”.
