That is what a few select people do here is blame Obama for everything since the election... I just wanted to be first.

So the war on terror is over.
Thank god as it was getting bad trying to sell a terrorist supporting regime as anti-terrorist.
I am so glad that they do be taking Jihad off the list as numbskulls understand the word Jihad as much as they understand the word Fatwah


But there is always one

Well, I understand the meaning of "War on Terror",

Go on explain it for us lesser mortals.

There must be some kinda PC name to call terrorists.

And I'm sure OB and that pack of numbskulls of his will find it.

You really walked into that one.
Define a terrorist

Isn't that what happened with Bush? Seriously, from the minute Bush took office he was castigated by the left for crimes real and imagined.

No surprise, the right are doing the exact same thing with Obama.

The only thing man learns from history: Man cannot learn from history.

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.

Those who ignore the human being in their enemies, are enemies of humanity.
Those who fight for peace, but not for the peace of their enemies, are enemies of peace.

Democracy is limping guys.

You know, that picture is missing a caricature of Roosevelt with Zeros bombing Pearl Harbor in the back ground.

And its pretty tacky to dismiss all those who died because of political expediency which you are showing here.

Excuse me? How am I showing "political expediency"? I'm making the obvious point that the terms we use are irrelevent. Rather, the behaviors are what matters.

Ever hear the phrase, "a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet."?

I don't really give a damn if we call it a war, a police action, or whatever - as long as we are taking the steps necessary to prevent such a tragedy.

But nothing is tackier than someone (you) posting a tragic photo of an individual's final moment simply because you want YOUR term of choice used. That photo has absolutely NO bearing upon the intellectual argument of which term is correct.

Frankly, you were attempting the cheap tactic of soliciting a knee-jerk reaction to justify your point. It was transparent and it has failed.

Guess what, this happened and to ignore it or criticize those who post pictures of it demean those killed and their families.

Are you out of your mind? Who's ignoring what happened on 9/11? The only thing "demeaning" to such families is your insistance upon using them as fodder to feed your argument on semantics.

Is it impossible for you to frame your discussions within the realm of reality?

It happened, innocent people died because it was a law enforcement action and this is one picture. It is easy to forget or pass it off because you haven't seen it recently. As DiNero said..........This is this.

Umm, flat out wrong. 9/11 was in no way a result of it falling under the purview of law enforcement. It happened because the scope of responsibilities within law enforcement were poorly-defined.

You're attempting to make an argument through the silly notion that "law enforcement" is an end upon itself, and therefore cannot make the adjustments necessary to combat something that was once beyond its purview.

I have no problem with counter-terrorism being called a War on Terror or being called a police-action of some kind. So long as the bombs keep falling in the right place and the US stays safe, "a rose by any other name..."

You are correct. It is a police action.
