- I'd say the U.S. Intel community and NSWDG were pretty damn effective in killing Bin Laden.
- Folks in Afghanistan who were living under Taliban rule don't think the War on Terrorism is stupid.
- I also would imagine the folks in Iraq that had been through Saddam's rape and torture rooms don't think the War of Terrorism is stupid. Pretty sure the Kurds would agree too.
- The War on Terrorism won't be over in our lifetimes. As long as there are Muslim extremists who believe violence is the way to advance their religion and is the way to paradise, and there are Muslim leaders willing to manipulate/exploit them to advance their agendas, we will be a target and it won't be over. |
Oh god, it's hilarious watching Americans swallow everything they're spoon fed. Americans also thought we could win a war on drugs back in the 70s and 80s too, and here we are today. How's that going by the way? Let's look at the money spent on this "war on drugs" and it hasn't changed one bit. Same as the war on terrorism. It's a sham. Plain and simple. Even George Bush says we can't win it, and he's the guy that started this faux war.

Lauer: So I’m just saying can we win it? Do you see that?
President Bush: I don’t think you can win it. But I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world — let's put it that way.

Let's see what a military general thinks about the war on terror.
Quote:
"I decided a year ago that he cannot win the war on terror," said retired Gen. Merrill McPeak, former Air Force chief of staff, at a news conference in New York organized by Democrats.

You talk about the "folks in Iraq" that went through the rape and torture with Saddam, yet fail to realize that we have killed and injured more civilians in Iraq than Saddam ever has. Irony at it's best. I guess blowing up innocent civilians was in their best interest. After all, look how well they are doing now!!! /sarcasm off

Blackwater, our paid mercenaries...lolol Iraq people are loving this freedom I tell ya!!!
Also, those Folks in Afghanistan are happy with the war on terror? Really? You know this how? You live in Afghanistan? You have family that does? Or you just parroting what the mass media is pushing you? I'm going with the latter.
Here is the deal. The media uses fear to pump into individuals like yourself to deter from the real issue at hand, which is the failing economy and the crooks stealing your money. Also, lets ask our self something. How many of these surrounding countries are currently being bombed by terrorist organizations of the extremist Muslims? Italy? Greece? Turkey? Russia? Spain? If they are, chances are it's due to their foreign policy. I imagine if we change our foreign policy, then this "war or terror" would fix itself.
What you are trying to fight is a "ideology" in the extremist Muslims, and you can't fight a ideology or a belief.
Any evidence on any of these "foiled terrorists"? We've been keeping these "terrorist" locked up, tortured without showing any proof or putting them on trial. All that money spent on intelligence and people have still brought bombs on planes. It was just a miracle they didn't blow up due to the user's stupidity. Guess they were too busy putting devices on "terrorists" vehicles to actually use real intel.
