There is NO "War on Terror" it's a phrase, there is only BushCo
Edited on Mon Sep-25-06 09:11 PM by texpatriot2004
repeating this phrase that means nothing, it's like the "War on Drugs" it is going nowhere, it will be ineffectual and go on endlessly. They have used this phrase repeatedly until it's common language. There is NO "War on Terror" there is only this evil Administration creating more terrorism in the name of "fighting terrorism" or "winning the war on terrorism" etc., etc.

I have never accepted this stupid "War on Terror" rubbish but lately it really gets under my skin. * is the one creating terrorism and terrorists! He and his Administration and their policies are the only terror that I know. Besides, you don't fight terror with torture! You don't fight evil with evil unless you are EVIL like * and his cronies and their followers.

There is NO "War on Terror" it's made up, it's a phrase, it's words only, it's fiction, it's fantasy land, it's delusion...

Lies, lies, lies that's all this Government has, well that and it's bad PR phrases and stunts and photo ops - it's all staged, packaged rubbish. They are manipulating the public.

Repeat after me, "THERE IS NO WAR ON TERROR!" There is no "war on terror."

I know that I am preaching to the choir here but I needed to get that off my chest. I know, Capt. Obvious speaks out, right?

1. Job 1: Don't lose any memos that sound like jihadists up to something
in America.

Job 2: CIA talk to the FBI. FBI talk to the CIA.

Job 3: Follow up on expired visas

2. Like the "war on drugs," the "war on terror" is bullshit...
and never intended to be successful. It's an empty dog-and-pony show used by a corrupt government to achieve some other end.

9. No that cannot be.. No War on Terror means no "Unitary Executive"
We must be at war for Bush* to have the Powers he needs to rule the world... Bush* will insist we are at War and his war is even bigger and badder than WW II or WW I or even the two combined. Bush* has the baddest war there ever was and he is in charge of it so quit saying there is no War...It is the only way Bush* could ever be a hero in his own mind...

10. Makes As Much Sense As "The War On Bad Thoughts"....
... which is another "plank" in their platform, they just do not publicize it.

Terror is a reactive experience.

11. But there is terror
Yes, I say that there are people in this country who live in terror. Poverty is terror. Having your Social Security threatened is terror. Having your livelihood as an elderly person slowly disappearing with no replenishment is terror. Students who are dropping out of school because there are no resources to keep us in school is terror. You find people in the streets, watching drugs permeate our communities and destroy our young, it's a life of terror. And men who sit in charge of that distribution mechanism, which can help the American people overcome these problems and refuse to do so, while giving the rich more money than they've ever dreamt of having, while turning around our institutions and redirecting resources from those who are truly in need to those who are already generously endowed, if not hedonistically so, it's a great tragedy.
