The Iraqi insurgency is composed of a diverse mix of militias, foreign fighters, all-Iraqi units or mixtures using violent measures against the United States-led multinational force in Iraq in Iraq and the post-2003 Iraqi government, or by propaganda or money supportive thereof. The fighting appears both as armed conflict with the United States-led military coalition, as well as sectarian violence among the different ethnic groups within the population. The insurgents are involved in asymmetric warfare and a war of attrition against the US-supported Iraqi government and US forces, while conducting coercive tactics against rivals or other militias.

My example: The American Revolution was fought by insurgent colonists against the British Redcoats.

Debilitate
Title of an article I had to read for class:
New concept of critical steps in course of chronic debilitating neurologic disease in evaluation of therapeutic response; a longitudinal study of multiple sclerosis by quantitative evaluation of neurologic involvement and disability.
The above study focused on the debilitating disease of MS, specifically the breaking down or weakening of neurological abilities a person had and the effects of different kinds of therapy that have been found to help a person with this disability.

The Shrinking Emancipation Dream
When George Bush, trumpeter of the New World Order, declared that we needed a “kinder, gentler” nation in the late 1980s, he was using public-relations-speak from his CIA covert action training: never let on what you really mean, just tell them what they want to hear. “Kinder, gentler” may apply in practice to the upper 5 percent who benefited from Reagan/Bush policies designed to enrich the business class. But to the working mother of three children making 10,500- who paid more in taxes in 1983 than Boeing, General Electric, Du Pont, Texaco, Mobil, and AT&T combined paid on their profits of 13.7 billion-it meant “leaner, meaner” deception.
The wanton people that encourage or allow this to happen make me sick!

Obliterate
Have you ever felt like you wanted to obliterate a computer? With flights being expensive I have been on a hunt to find some good deals. I just got an update on some cheap flights to San Francisco. I called my dad to see if the dates would work for my friend & I to visit over the holidays. He stated that it would be wonderful. I immediately went to book the flights and found out that the days which showed availability were not truly available. The color showed blue but I guess it was some type of cruel joke. I instantly wanted to throw the computer out the window and hoped it would crash into a thousand little unrecognizable pieces.
