"NEW NUANCED" AS IN NOTHING NEW:

Obama's new nuanced counter-terrorism policy (B Raman, 8/07/09, Rediff)

The new policy as outlined by [John O Brennan, a former career intelligence officer of the Central Intelligence Agency, who now functions as President Barack Obama'sAssistant for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism] will be a mix of hard and soft power, the professional and political options and treating terrorism as a threat and at the same time as a phenomenon, which requires a multi-dimensional approach. He was critical of attempts to make the entire foreign policy hostage to counter-terrorism. It will no more be a war on terror as projected by the previous administration of George W Bush. Instead, it will be a campaign against terrorism.

Will those of you in the cheap seats please keep down your giggling.
