Is it a WAR?
Let us not forget.

It never was a war.
Not declared.
Not otherwise.

Remember....you have 48 hours to get out of town?

This was regime change, plain and simple.
Specifically orchestrated for the purpose of finishing off what Daddy did...plus a host of other dysfunctional objectives.

WAR?

Remember....how Congress authorized the president to use FORCE?
How did that suddenly morph into WAR?
Wasn't it supposed to be force....in order to achieve the objectives of the inspections?

WAR?

Buy another magnetic stick on America.
Buy into the notion that we can't "cut and run".

This is regime change and it's not working.
It's not working because there are 3 factions that won't have a viable representation as a complete state.
If we were to leave them....it might just work out that they divide into 3 provinces.

WAR?

The Soviets fought a war in Afghanistan....average losses of 3 men per day for 10 years.

It never was a war.
It was regime change.

Hey...maybe these neocons really do think it's a war to win.
That's the most frighening scenario of all.

2. It's not a war. It's terrorism. But, it depends on the point
Words are words worth. So, it depends on what the point is of saying it isn't a war.

For example, if someone claims it's not a war in Iraq, and that it's a humanitarian effort, then that is wrong.

Or if the propaganda minister tries to change from "War on terror" to "Struggle against extremism" in order to divert people from the fact that they were previously portraying the global terror campaign as a war that could be won. Then that is wrong too.

3. "Words are words worth. ...

WHAT?

The war was CREATED. What does word smithing have to do with that fact?

It is a regime change.
To have a specific political alliance with the US.
Did you ever ask yourself the basic question why we stay to effect a government that is in line with what we want?

The REGIME CHANGE isn't working for obvious reasons.

Read the above 47 times and then look at yourself in the mirror.

This country is in the grips of a government that has seized the idea of war for its own self-interests.

This country has been duped into believing it's a war....so that it will specifically support this political agenda.
So that we'll all fall in line.
Be afraid of war...and go along with the whole basket of crap.
Unable to think through this obvious fact....well...we'll vote for those give the appearance that they'll take us to safety.

They created the wordsmithing, they created the nitemare of words which led to pathetic actions pal, not me.
