Obama Says War On Terror Is Over ~ Replaced With " kiss terrorist ass"
White House: 'War on terrorism' is over
It's official. The U.S. is no longer engaged in a "war on terrorism." Neither is it fighting "jihadists" or in a "global war."
President Obama's top homeland security and counterterrorism official took all three terms off the table of acceptable words inside the White House during a speech Thursday at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank.
"The President does not describe this as a 'war on terrorism,'" said John Brennan, head of the White House homeland security office, who outlined a "new way of seeing" the fight against terrorism.
The only terminology that Mr. Brennan said the administration is using is that the U.S. is "at war with al Qaeda."
"We are at war with al Qaeda," he said. "We are at war with its violent extremist allies who seek to carry on al Qaeda's murderous agenda."
Mr. Brennan said that to say the U.S. is fighting "jihadists" is wrongheaded because it is using "a legitimate term, 'jihad,' meaning to purify oneself or to wage a holy struggle for a moral goal"
"Worse, it risks reinforcing the idea that the United States is somehow at war with Islam itself," Mr. Brennan said.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in March that the administration was not using the term "war on terror" but no specific directive had come from the White House itself. Mr. Obama himself used the term "war on terror" on Jan. 23, his fourth day as president, but has not used it since.
Mr. Brennan's speech was aimed at outlining ways in which the Obama administration intends to undermine the "upstream" factors that create an environment in which terrorists are bred.
The president's adviser talked about increasing aid to foreign governments for building up their militaries and social and democratic institutions, but provided few details about how the White House will do that.
Wild Thing's comment..........
Did anyone tell the Taliban and Al Qiada or the US military? This is more than appeasment and stupidity, that is total insanity. We are now ruled by insane people....this is surrender or as close it it can get to surrender.
Then why the he** are we still in Iraq and Afghanistan? What are our troops doing there if not fighting Jihadist and terrorists?
Obama sees us as the enemy, not the Jihadists. So, what are we gonna call it from now: “The War Against Really Mean and Smelly People?”
If the war on terror is over then we sure as hell don't need Homeland Security. Let's get rid of that too. Fire that Bitch Janet and tear up the stupid possible terrorists list Veterans are on and Tea Party people are on.
"The president's adviser talked about increasing aid to foreign governments for building up their militaries and social and democratic institutions"....
Unbelievable. He is going to throw more away overseas with much going to our enemies. Obama has got got some extra money from cutting military spending.
I hope that someone in the White house remembered to give this memo to the various Jihadists groups around the globe. They all need to know that they must be affiliated with al Qaeda to attack the United States under the current Obama administration. I know they would all like to avoid the embarrassment of following improper procedure while employing terrorism.
Sheesh!
But al-Qaeda is only one of many organizations committed to using the tools of terror against America and its citizens. To call it a "War on al-Qaeda" is not accurate either, for it omits other such organizations equally at war with us. So the Taliban is not a terrorist group but Veterans are??????
And what is it that links and motivates all of these groups but must yet remain unexpressed by our leaders in Washington? Why must we play these games? Because our President is a MUSLIM and has already had a terrorist as a friend ( Ayers) and has already made it clear to Hamas and other terrorists that he is on their side against Israle so why not also against the USA.
Nice how he respect our troops isn't it, the lives we have lost the wounded. Yes Obama is a reall class act.........NOT!

NO, it isn't over! Maybe in his peabrain it is, but it's not. I saw a blurb, just once, that he is considering reinstituting the draft for Afghanistan! I hope to God that's false! You never know with these damn reporters anymore-never follow through on anything to make sure what they report is true.
If it's over, why does he want more troops for Afghanistan?

They were still rehashing Mark Sanford and digging for something, anything, on Palin to discredit her last week on MSNBC (yeah, I check in to see what their latest lies are, know the enemy). Where's the outrage on Afghan war (like Iraq)? William Jefferson getting nailed on his "frozen assets" last week, no coverage...no time with the Sanford thing to rehash (this was BEFORE his wife left him).
No wonder their station is tanking.
BTW, if any of you buy a product that GE makes (like a fridge) in another brand, send a copy of your receipt to GE and tell them why you bought a different brand...their lying coverage on NBC/MSNBC.

This brings to mind the Alan Keyes video where he states that the government is run by a group of insane children. They need to step aside and let the grown-ups take over.

IMHO, there is only two reasons to institute the draft, one for a declared war without enough troops to muster the call, which isn't going to happen with a bunch of UN Communist functionaries in Congress and the White House. The other is to suppress internal unrest since the 'lawful orders' of the president, their CIC, have to be obeyed, he has plenty of 'lawmakers' at his beck and call to make the laws and a Commie SCOTUS to rubber stamp his legislation. The Dems have gutted the FBI, the CIA and have terrorized and intimidated the Border patrol people. Our Fuhrer would jump at the chance to institute martial law and enforce his Fascism with a standing conscripted Army. Long time Communist Comrade Conyers is the biggest proponent of the draft. Let the SOBama use his brownshirts openly to do the dirty work. Some of us can use the target practice, so buy ammo!!!
Thanks Edin, QVC uses GE's Money Bank for their credit card, we're canceling it.

We ar fighting some men with beards and in long dresses. We must stop. America is a peaceful country and should not be at war. obama will lerad us to the road of peace.
Ok, we will just call all terrorists Al Qaeda. Whatever we call them changes anyway. However, this old tea partier will still call them muslim terrorists. To me it just sounds so right and I am on obama's too old for medical treatment list anyway.

No more terrorsit's ? Only Al queada ? Who does he think he's kidding. And,' the we are only fighting the violent Terrorist's.'
Is obama going to let us know when he finds a "Moderate Muslem". He should be removed from office. The man is a danger to the country and the world.

Truth and reality are stubborn. They go on existing even if you deny it. Nothing changes because President Suzy cuts another brain fart.
Trouble is, the last administration made a tactical mistake with the declaration of the expression "War on Terror". They seemed to never anticipate how the left would distort and lie about its terms and intentions.
Terror isn't an entity, so you can't declare war on it. Vagueness confuses everything. Republicans got into the sissy Democrat habit of making grandiose government pronouncements about this and that, and sounded like bullshitters.
Now we have the emperor of all bullshitters making points with leftards by calling an end to something that makes no sense in the first place.
All we had to do was declare war on Al Qaeda and its sponsors. Everyone could have understood that and it would have been impossible for the Donks to argue with it.

Lynn, I agree, this whole administration
we are stuck with now just can't get a
grip on what war is and who the enemy is.
GRRRRRR

Eden, thanks for the information.They are
so obsessed with trying to find something,
on Sarah Palin, there are even a couple
reporters on Fox are like that too. I forget their names.
I agree about GE too. They are horrible.
Posted by: Wild Thing at August 9, 2009 07:21 PM
Jim, I agree, these people have no clue
about war, and they are letting Obama
run the show and he is the least
qualified our country has ever had.
grrrrr

Jack, your so right, well said.He sure
would love to do this.
"The Dems have gutted the FBI, the CIA and have terrorized and intimidated the Border patrol people. Our Fuhrer would jump at the chance to institute martial law and enforce his Fascism with a standing conscripted Army."

Tom, LOL good one!!!
"fighting some men with beards and in long dresses"
If the health care bill passes I sure hope
people sue Obama for killing their loved ones.
NOt for money that looses effect, but for
him to go to prison for life for allowing
a life to be lost due to no medical care.
Obama is the devil.
Posted by: Wild Thing at August 9, 2009 07:33 PM
Mark, LOL yep no more. Forget Taliban they
don't care about them.
I swear this whole BS is because Obama is
a Muslim freak.

Rhod, LOVE how you said that and it is
so true too.
"Truth and reality are stubborn. They go on existing even if you deny it. Nothing changes because President Suzy cuts another brain fart."
