An insurgent is someone who is not in the official military of a nation but fights against a country in a rebellion (see insurgency). The Iraq War was actually a short war, it's now an insurgency. There are insurgencies all over the world, Chechnya for example. It's not just a 'liberal term' for 'terrorist', grow up. Not all insurgents are terrorists, while many feel they must resort to such tactics. Get out of your redneck holes and get educated. Stop blaming all of your problems on liberals, Bush was the one who lied about WMDs and started the pointless war. Urban Dictionary

A term that relates to someone fighting in a guerrilla war/insurrection. It basically means somebody fighting or rebelling against their home country (ex. someone in Libya shooting at pro-governmnt forces.) However, to the Bush Administration and anyone who watches Fox News, it means a terrorist or someone fighting against U.S troops or any of their allies. Does not mean a terrorist, Fox News and Bush may think so, but that isn't true at all. Urban Dictionary

Members of the radical Islam movement. As long as they are losing, they are allowed to be killed, beaten, arrested, convicted of war crimes, and called terrorists. But it's all okay in the eyes of most Americans (red-necks), because they're fighting against a great democratic revolution that changed their world for the better. (yeah right) Urban Dictionary
