I am sick of hearing about "The War on Terror"

[enigami]

That is such bullshit. Terror is only a tactic, period.
It's like saying the war on ambush, or the war on frontal assault.

Terror does not define the enemy.

I am declaring war on bullshit

1. I agree

I already tune out once the news starts talking about the so-called "war on terror." I am so sick of it as well.

2. it's a scam that 3/4 of America seems to have bought, including...

...virtually every politician in Washington. Every time a potential presidential candidate mentions the WOT I cross them off my list of acceptable candidates. I certainly hope the green party runs someone good in '08!

4. I AM HAVING A WAR ON FOOD.

The more i try to ignore it, the more it seems to appear from out of the blue because up to now food and i have had an affinity, it has now become my enemy and i need to win my war on food no matter what!

6. Nobody seems to have noticed

but this is the War on Terror, Part II.

The first War on Terror finished just after the Nov '04 election when the terror alerts suddenly stopped and John Ashcroft declared:

"The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved."
(From Time magazine archive: http://tinyurl.com/d3x69).

However, the new product launched with the "political capital" of a 2nd term - Social Security reform - didn't go down too well - and it was decided to dust off that old crowd-pleaser, the Global War on Terror.
