War on Terror Is Officially Over

Great news — if you’re a terrorist: the War on Terror is officially over. I wish I could say the same for terror’s war on us.

From the Washington Times article also linked from Moonbattery

It’s official. The U.S. is no longer engaged in a “war on terrorism.” Neither is it fighting “jihadists” or in a “global war.”

President Obama’s top homeland security and counterterrorism official took all three terms off the table of acceptable words inside the White House during a speech Thursday at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank.

“The President does not describe this as a ‘war on terrorism,’” said John Brennan, head of the White House homeland security office, who outlined a “new way of seeing” the fight against terrorism.

I think this just makes America look weak, fractured and petty. We don’t want to use the same words as the last administration, but that doesn’t make the conflict go away, the Jihadists are still real no matter what you call them… it’s maddening that they are pushing these terms out in favor of what they percieve to be more correct.

Obama thinks he is just so smart and so correct. For Example his spokesman

“Mr. Brennan lamented “inflammatory rhetoric, hyperbole, and intellectual narrowness” surrounding the national security debate and said Mr. Obama has views that are “nuanced, not simplistic; practical, not ideological.”

So if ANYONE thinks a terrorists should be called a terrorist, see “the conflict formerly known as the war on terror” as us-vs-them, or tries to relate their goals with their religious views AT ALL ...you are simply bigoted, narrow minded, closed off, stupid, a simpleton, a brute, a reactionary.

This really pisses me off. it’s pure arrogance, but i can’t imagine how our troops would feel.

How would it feel to be struggling in a difficult situation, out in the middle east, it’s hot, its dusty and sandy, you haven’t seen your family for 18 months because you’ve been deployed, your friends and yourself are in the line of fire every day, being shot at, seeing your friends, brothers who have trained and bled with you, protected you, and then seeing them get blown up, seeing innocent Iraqis that you work with and have gotten to know and then seeing them get blown up or murdered because they talked to you.

But despite the loss and the sacrifice you overcame, you completed your mission and brought peace...but it took over 6 years (and counting) of hard work sweat and bloodshed. And now after all that, it turns out that what you have been fighting for, the war you have been fighting and dying for, is deemed “INFLAMMATORY, NARROW MINDED”

What is Obama saying to our troops...you fools, you idiots, you risked your lives for a stupid meaningless phrase that accomplished nothing

it’s not fair

he can’t take this war away from our troops, it’s not right, we won’t stand for that
