Now there's a twist: "...on home-grown terrorists".

Which is an excellent description of why calling it "on terrorism" is
just propaganda spin: it isn't on terrorism, it's on a vaguely-defined
set of Middle Eastern extremists.  (Many of them are terrorists.  Many
terrorists are among them.  Neither is a subset of the other.)  In any
case, it is not against any even-moderately-well-defined single entity.
