I'm going to give you some shocking news-- the WAR ON TERROR -- cannot be WON. Tell me right now how you can win the WAR ON TERROR. All bullshit aside i want you to type out in coherent thoughts how the WAR ON TERROR is going to be WON -- and when i say won i mean every last single fundamentalist wacko DEAD 6 ft under without the possibility of procreating. Hey, even the propaganda i want a plan on how to remove the ideologies that perpetuate this type of action. (Oh and don't skip anything relating to possible third party instigation aka funding of the wackos for proxy wars )
Here I'll save you the trouble because oddly enough this is a trick question that has no answer -- you cannot win the war on terror for it is not a absolute target in which you can though an army at. Even if that were the case a massive army is irrelevant considering the size of the enemy .
One last thing -- tell me how the Republicans have contributed to the failure that is Iraq. If your incapable of shifting your hatred for those that stand against your disillusions of spreading democracy by the sword at least have some testicular fortitude to admit that your own "side" is playing the same game.
This man speaks the truth: since 2001 we have been fighting a 'war' we cannot win. The enemy, according to the definition of the terms 'terror' 'terrorist' and 'extremists', is pretty much everywhere--even our own country, if you count the gun nuts out west who have those sick little cults who wait for the day the US government falls apart. No matter what we do, there will always be people who are bent on anarchy and the destruction of others: the power to inflict fear over others and grant themselves power through that fear in the process. We beat the Taliban in 2001-2002, we flattened them, and then we diverted some troops to Iraq in the dumbest f*cking war this side of Vietnam--guess what? As soon as we left, the Taliban came out of their caves and went back to inflicting terror on the general population--because that's the only way they know how to rule. I read in the news time to time the resurgence of this terrorizing entity, and it saddens me that we failed in Afghanistan when our leaders decided there were bigger fish to fry in Iraq.

Our administration was naive to foolishly pin this war on a noun that can be anyone and anywhere...terrorism has existed in many forms since the early 1800's (if not earlier) with anarchists who orchestrated assassinations on political and military leaders of various countries. What, did they think they could win? We attacked Iraq because some dipshit president who I don't give a rats' ass about anymore said 'Look, they've got a leader with WMD's, he must be a terrorist and he must be stopped.' Flash forward four and a half years later, and we've created more terrorists, a whole gaggle of them...failure is on the hands of every american who didn't speak out, or at least the ones who have the ability to do so--so Democrats, while they did criticize the war, they didn't take enough measures to make it stop. Republicans dropped the f*cking ball because those greedy bureaucrats were thinking 'ZOMIGOD, we need to go and steal this oil by putting in our megacorporate buildings' while not thinking of the repercussions of our occupation of a region that simply does not like occupation. And sending in our troops in smaller quantities than the pentagon wanted. And expecting to be done by 2005 when they had no clue what they were getting in to.
So we're now at the present. Elections are twenty months away, give or take...and each side is flinging so much shit that Washington DC looks like a manure farm. We need...and everyones gonna hate me for this...a guy with no connection to industry...a guy who doesn't cave like the French during any form of offensive...a guy who will cut the shit and say 'fuck this, this war on terror is stupid, lets quit'. Sadly, I'm not seeing any front-runners who fit the bill--unless I've missed something among the shit-flinging.
So have I got this straight? We can't win a war on a non-specific entity that can occur anytime, anywhere--you need names, faces to attack...start with those, not just 'everyone who is a terrorist', becuase as it stands, you're pretty much declaring war on half middle east with that definition.
And for fucks sake, how much effort does it take to hunt down Bin Laden? That raggamuffin mofo has been laughing at us for close to ten years!
