There Is No War On Terror!
There Is No War on Terror
By Robert Dreyfuss

Wednesday 13 September 2006
President George W. Bush, Vice President Cheney and the entire Republican election team are scrambling to make their so-called war on terror the focus of the next seven weeks. As in 2002 and 2004, they're counting on their ability to scare Americans with the al-Qaida bogeyman. And while the trauma of 9/11 has begun to dissipate and American voters seem less susceptible than ever to the scare tactics used by the White House, for the past five years the Democrats have been singularly unable to develop an effective counter to the Bush administration on terrorism. So, for that reason, here are 10 important facts about terrorism that opponents of President Bush should understand.

"......they're counting on their ability to scare Americans with the al-Qaida bogeyman."
Do you think the Al Qaida organization itself is part and parcel of the bogeyman conspiracy? Or have you not heard or read any news within the last few days about Al Qaida's newest threats against the West?

Jr,
Oh, the 9/11 card already. Wow, in times past this card was held until later in the game. Is this a sign of weakness in Jr's hand ?
Take two aspirin and call back in the morning.

I'm hoping very hard that we leave the NYC WTC 9/11 horror alone. Period.
Re-affirming it, at its 5th anniversary, was a perfect END to its being dragged
out by pseudo politicians trying to prove every moronic point. It was awful,
but why keep wallowing in its grief?

We need to "keep wallowing in it..." because history has a way of repeating itself. I won't use 911. I'll just remind everyone that the same thing was said about Hilter and his march into Poland. Oh, he won't do that again. Well, he did. And if it isn't Al Queda, it could very well be Iran or someone else, so do use all a favor and go put your head in someone elses sandbox. By the way, I can think of 3000 "points" that are not moronic.

al Qaeda threat to 'slit throats of worshippers of the cross'
al Qaeda calls for Muslims to leave US in anticipation of attack
Open up your eyes please. Those articles are just from the past couple of days. This occurs on almost a daily basis.

Well if we are going to "keep wallowing in it" we should get someone in charge that knows how to re-act to it.
We had most of the world behind us on 9/12. Our leaders wasted the world support we had by going off topic and invading Iraq. What ever happened to Osama bin forgotten anyway ?

Another myth in the liberal pantheon of Convenient Delusions. Most of the world's sympathy had been spent by 9/13.

some seem to forget that "most of the world" has been against us since the 1700's......... don't ever forget those wingnuts dancing in the street and throwing candy to the kids on Sept 11th
trying to convince the U.S. public that there is no terrorist threat........is stupid. And it helps advance the agenda of the terrorists

The fruits of terror are evident all over the streets of ghetto America. Warlords of many strips {not only Islam} are actively engaged in selling drugs and guns to our youths. East Asia and narco terrorist have allied themselves a long time ago to fund their worldwide operations.
Neither party chooses properly secure our borders. And our ports are in even worse condition then 20 years ago. Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms Bureau estimates that 10,000 {ten thousand} pounds of narcotics cross our borders and ports every day!!!
That to me is a lost war on terror. But wait, what am I saying, after all these kinds of people are expendable.
