Separated at birth?
AlertnetStanding before the Mount Vernon mansion and sharing the stage with an actor dressed as Gen. George Washington, Bush said Washington's Revolutionary War leadership inspired generations of Americans "to stand for freedom in their own time."
"Today, we're fighting a new war to defend our liberty and our people and our way of life. And as we work to advance the cause of freedom around the world, we remember that the father of our country believed that the freedoms we secured in our revolution were not meant for Americans alone," Bush said.
"He once wrote, 'My best wishes are irresistibly excited whensoever in any country I see an oppressed nation unfurl the banners of freedom,'" Bush said.

Washington Post"On the field of battle, Washington's forces were facing a mighty empire, and the odds against them were overwhelming. The ragged Continental Army lost more battles than it won, suffered waves of desertions, and stood on the brink of disaster many times. Yet George Washington's calm hand and determination kept the cause of independence and the principles of our Declaration alive," Bush said on a clear but frigid day, speaking to several hundred people.
Ragged army, lost more battles than it won, facing a mighty empire - hey wait a second...that description fits the insurgents in Iraq, not us.

Insurgents = Founding Fathers + beheadings
Got it.
Thanks.
No, no, the Iraqi government = Founding Fathers
That makes us....the French?
...most of us do want to surrender....
Iraqi government = the Loyalists?
Only if the Loyalists were the Native Americans with political power. The freedom fighters are really Al-Queda.
How can they be freedom fighters if they want to establish a theocratic dictatorship?
but they left England because of religious persecution.....many established their own 'madrassas' in the new world....
Not an answer.
They haven't been called that since the 80's, when they were fighting the Soviets. Funny how times have changed.
Actually, they were called the mujahadeen, or holy warrior.
