The thing that seems to have set Rosie off the other day is the question of whether or not she called U.S. troops terrorists. Here are a couple of excerpts from the Q and A section of her blog that further articulate her position:

I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS CRIMINAL ADMINISTRATION

i totally agree with your assesment of the troops in Iraq. terrorism is using voilence to acheive a political end…is war not voilent? are we not using it to acheive a political end? desmond – yes
With this broad a definition, every President in U.S. history is a “terrorist.” With regard to Bush 43 specifically, Rosie tries to classify the troops as but mindless cogs forced to commit terrorist acts at the behest of a criminal. Unfortunately, this makes anyone who supports Bush or the mission in Iraq terrorists as well, including the troops, because they aren’t mindless cogs and have to be included if you define what we are doing in Iraq as terrorism.
