But "war on terror" sounds cool and catches voters' attention. It sounds sexy, doesn't it.

I would agree with you on this but the issue now is that AQ is much more decentralized it now is a hydra with many heads and it is much harder to counter hundreds if not thousands of small cells and lone wolf types.They do not even need to go to a training camp now they can just agree with the ideology and find other means to gain what ever skills that they might need.You can learn how do alot of things by reading books or information on the web or viewing videos over the web.


You can read the SAS training manual(I am sure it does not cover everything the current SAS manuals have in them) but it teaches you how conduct a firefight for example if the enemy is behind a vehicle fire at his feet to hit his legs and then slice the pie around the vehicle to finish him off.I read that in a Barnes and Nobel.There are other illegal texts that teach bomb making but they are not very hard to obtain I have seen people with copies of "The Turner Diaries".Who knows the amount of such information that can be found on the web.

Another way to get excellent training is to join a military and become something like infantry or EOD or ideally SF for a few years this was something that became popular with Right Wing extremists in the US perfect lone wolf technique.

Face it MH the war on terror is a joke.
3 people in a row have made that very valid point but you cannot even see it.

To quote my favorite tv series:
"There is no war on drugs" - "Why not?" - "Because a war can actually be won"

If "War On Terror", "Patriot Act" and all this crap wouldn't be connected with a massive cutback on civil liberties and an erosion of Joe Sixpack's freedom - not only in the US, but also here - these buzzwords wouldn't leave such a foul aftertaste.

Not to be confused with the fight against terror organizations which has been going on since decades, long before the "War On Terror" existed. I don't think you'll find anyone on this board who would be against hunting the scumbag down who is still currently hiding in his besieged apartment.

Nope, that would make him a martyr and inspire more idiots. Let him be forgotten in a tiny cell until his existence ends naturally.

That's way AQ and other organisation depend mostly on the web and "lone wolfs" at this time.
