Republicans: Why Doesn't Obama Use the Word "Terrorism"

Republicans are complaining that the President does not use the word "terror" or "terrorism"(http://feeds.dailykos.com/~r/dailykos/index/~3/p2Js2F_TlJo/-Republicans-just-want-to-be-terrified). My question is, why didn't the Republicans destroy al Qaeda when they were in power for 6 years? The reality is that terrorism has gotten worse worldwide. Remember: actions speak louder than words. Talk is cheap.
