FOX "news": new events show London bombers WERE homicide bombers
Early on they were not considered homicide bombers because Scotland Yard thought that remote detonators were used, so the fifty dead did not die as a result of homicide bombers, but now that their remains were found, they have been identified as homicide bombers.

Is that clear enough? See, FOX, what happens when you use the White House's talking points without considering things? When Bush's "suicider" morphed to "homicide bomber" and you started to parrot the phrase you lost all clarity and accuracy in what is being reported.

All bombers are homicide bombers - that's the whole point of being a bomber! Killing people, by definition, is HOMICIDE! :eyes:

2. You know that and I know that
But Bush and Fox think that the term "suicide bomber" glorifies the dead guy or something. It makes no sense.

Over 50 people died ... and FOX is reporting that the bombers weren't homicide bombers? :rofl:

On edit: I never watch FOX. Have they been using this term for a while? That's so stupid!

6. You can thank Ari Fleischer for it, he's the one that first coined
'homicide-bomber', FOX News just did what Fox News does and stuck with it because it came from the mouth of a Republican White House.

7. That is exactly who started it.
I had forgotten, DS1. From the guy who also said "Americans need to watch what they say."

4. Of course
So they can pump this up for their "war on terrorism" nonsense. Sickening. Of course their loyal viewers won't care.
