Is There a War on the Term ‘War on Terror’

If I recall correctly and I do.It was her husbands administration who refused to use the term “GENOCIDE” in regard to what was going on in Rowanda. Remember that,they just Flat Refused to use the term. Of course that would mean they would actually have had to do something, which they did not. This is What Liberals do, they actually think using useless, Political Correctness Tatics is actually going to change the reality here. What’s in a name? To say Terrorist only act the way they do is because we call them what they are is Ludicrous and Dangerous. That is like saying a criminal is only a criminal because that is what we call them. BUT it also why a Liberal Democrat will never run in or win an election calling themselves what they truly are.”Socialist”. But what’s in a Name Right? Barrak HUSSEIN Obama

“Many in the international community take issue with the term, finding it overly broad.
If broad is the new euphemism for stupid, then yes.
It was like saying we’re going to launch a war on respiration.
Since the US government used terror constantly, it was quite hypocritical.

John Kuzara:”If I recall correctly and I do.It was her husbands administration who refused to use the term “GENOCIDE” in regard to what was going on in Rowanda.

They did not deem it a genocide until about a month after it happened – a failure of leadership from the Clinton administration, but it needs to be put into context. The genocide occurred shortly after the Somalia failure, that saw American casualties and embarrassment. There was a definate feeling of “let them kill themselves, they just kill our boys and drag them through the streets if we try to help.” Declaring Rwanda a genocide would have been to commit American troops to help stop it – in those days, “never again” actually meant something. And Clinton was loathe to throw our military back into that ungrateful meat grinder.
You clearly think the US should be the world’s policeman and send our troops out to the most barbaric corners to bring peace and democracy. Sadly, that just doesn’t seem to work too well in reality.

Obama, just more smoke and mirrors.

Iraq Vet, as I recall, Osama Bin Laden declared war on the US in 1996. On 9/11 Al Qaeda terrorists attacked the US on 9/11. The US didn’t start any war. The terrorists attacked us first.

When the 3AM phone call comes, how will Obama sugar coat & glaze over that?

Baloney….His administration never acknowledged it until he was already gone and then he issued a WEAK apology after the fact…Clinton would never had the Guts to do anything about anything except Cut and Run which is what he did his entire presidency..
BUSH at least had the GUTS to reach out and Touch Someone
The point is this is just a Liberal Ploy to just NOT acknowledge WHO and WHAT we are fighting over there…PERIOD..And it SERVES NO USEFULL PURPOSE at all…
Having served in Gulf War I and Kosovo I know exactly what we are fighting over there.

That’s the kind of change we needed!! Let’s change the “war on terror” phrase. Now that we’ve officially abandoned that phrase, I feel so much better about everything. Glad we cleared that up. This guy wastes no time. . . he’s a real man of action. I’m literally on the edge of my seat waiting for the next phrase to be changed. Although I am a bit confused. If we’re not involved in a war on terrorism any more, then exactly who are we at war with?

Fascinating that the Clintons, whose inaction precipitated and created the conditions for 9/11, are now participating in a denial of the war and returning to the ostrich position that got us into the mess in the first place… Nice work guys – you and Obama are so focused on tanking the U.S. that you’ll leave us dangerously exposed and vulnerable

Until the next terror attack like 9/11 which, by the way, was more deadly than Pearl Harbor. It’s a war Hillary. What a clown and ugly as sin too!

Terrorism is a tactic used by the weaker side in an asymmetrical war. As a prior contributor pointed out, you cannot fight a tactic. Perhaps we can finally declare war on the Islamic jihadists who seek to return the world to the 11th Century. They are the enemy of modern civilization.

War in Iraq was a distraction from the war on Al Qaeda and the war on Alqaeda was a distraction from the war on the wall street looters,swindlers and crooks. So how about a “war on the evil people” around the world including the drug cartel and the domestic nuts who keep emptying out their guns on innocent people for trivial reasons.

Leave you with this on Overseas Contingency Operation – OCO
Think Wizard of Oz march of the “winkies” – OCO, Oh No!! OCO, Oh No!! OCO, Oh No!! OCO, Oh No!!OCO, Oh No!!

Poor Hilary, she just as stupid as old Bill. What will they call it when we are attacked again?
Why do we have troops in irag? The war is over bring our troops home now all of them. Hilary who – what country is responsible for all our young men and women being killed? To protect The irag way of life? No good. Who is responsible for those deaths?
Hilary you are not tough enough for the job you extorted from Obama. Mean OK but you just full of your self.

Obama must so insecure in his position that he can’t even use a phrase coined by a previous administration. Sugar coating a phrase diminishes the seriousness of the problem. Overseas Contingency Operation is so broad and vague that it has no meaning at all.

Dear All,
In my opinion that I do not believe with war in terror because as a human being we’re all a good human kind and the difference from all of us it just our truly hearts when we’re judgement somebody else about their behaviour.
In global situation like this why don’t we join hand in hand to build our better world for us and the next generation.
God bless all of us,
Naba

The WOT was a term coined by the Bushies so that we actually have an emeny to fight,just like in WWll. The War on Terror is like the War on Drugs.
There is no real “war” going on. Both are broad criminal acts of terror. Not too different from gang violence,or random shootings in large crowdwd places by people who aren’t religious terrorists. They are just social terrorists. We don’t call these folks terrorists. We call them serial killers,or crazies. But, for some reason we must have a war on terror on Muslim extremists,but not the Tim McVea’s of the world.

The U.S. needs to just do Surgical Strikes and then fall back. Iraq has taught us that lesson.

“Fascinating that the Clintons, whose inaction precipitated and created the conditions for 9/11…”
There is never a bad time or debate for a right-winger to attempt a little historical revision. It was George Bush who ignored many warnings from the intelligence community that a major attack was being planned and that suspicious people were training how to fly planes but not land them.

The phrase is now the “War On Those Naughty Little Boys From Over There”.

You’ve got to be kidding me. Why don’t we just tell the guys and gals who are fighting this ‘war on terror’ woops, altercation against bad people, that there is no ‘war on terror’. Give me a break. You want to sugar coat it? Call it what it is. These men and women who have lost their lives and who are disabled clearly having been fighting a ‘WAR OF TERROR’. Now if we could stop Obama’s pursuit of popularlity contest by making everything sound so wonderful we’d be in better shape.

The administration had better get the name straight before this turns into a PR nightmare.

Maybe this kind of thing always goes away..just like …War on…:
‘Drugs’
‘Poverty’

Nothing wrong with calling a spade, a spade….hence the term “War on Terror”. Does Obama want to call it “A Peaceful Resolution to the Conflict with our Radical Islamic Brethren”? Give me a break! Moscow, Tehran, Beijing and Pyonyang can smell the weakness emanating from the whitehouse. Our President and his administration is naive if they think talking is going to end a holy war that began centuries ago. The pressure from Moscow regarding missles in Poland, Russian subs being armed with nuclear weapons, Iran kicking nuclear inspectors out of Tehran and the preparation of rocket testing in N Korea are not random acts. Obama’s mettle is being tested and he is failing miserably. Didn’t the Obama Administration say something about “taking advantage of the recession”? It looks like some of our enemies are taking advantage of the recession as well. Wake up. This is bigger than partisan politics, birth certificates and bailouts but the sheeple are still grazing and drinking from the everlasting “fountain of hope and change”. You better HOPE our president CHANGEs some of his policies or we will all be living underground.

Bush wanted to call it “War on Islamic Extremism” but nobody liked that so he had to settle for “War on Terror”

This is done for the historians.
“It was the Obama Administration that ended the War on Terror.”

Clinton is not a part of office, let’s let her be her evil self alone.
President Obama, seems too scared to call this war what it really is “Overseas Contingency Operation”
oh please!
Mr. Obama’s just trying to make them happy,
when they are the ones who started this
“Overseas Contingency Operation”
ha!
Mr. President Obama “Baby”

I just wonder this…If a 9/11 happens on Obama’s watch (LIKE IT HAPPENED ON BUSH’S WATCH), will the Republicans and Conservatives support Obama like the Democrats and Liberals supported Bush? I hardly think they will.

BO doesn’t want to call them terrorists at all because he doesn’t believe that is what they are. He thinks “America is the real terrorist state”, as his pastor of 20 years has said numerous times.
BO’s actions/associations over the course of his lifetime have greatly indicated that he has no love for America, but rather, he thinks it an evil place that must be drastically altered.
The sad thing is that the more that these dark associations surfaced , the more the anti-American liberals loved BO.
How about instead of the war on terrorism, let’s have the war on liberal treason? Starting with BO, they should all be shipped out of America and sent to the fatherland, cuba. Instead of them trying to force cuba on us, let’s bring them to their haven so that they can all live as happy socialists forever.

Does anyone remember who actually attacked American soil on September 11th 2001? It was Al Queda, based in Afganistan with support from the Taliban. What was Bush’s response? Put a token force in Afganistan, and commit nearly all our remaining military force to attacking Iraq!
I don’t care what term he calls it by, Obama is finally doing what Bush should have done 8 years ago; focus our military on where the actual threat is. Afganistan and the tribal regions of Pakistan.

@Rod: Bush did not put a token force in Afghanistan. He put in a large enough force in Afghanistan to boot out both alQueda & the Taliban. Plus Bush installed a democratically elected govt.
(They never had one before.)
The US did not attack IRAQ until 2 years after the fighting in Afghanistan.

Sally – If you are correct, then why are the Taliban and Al Queda still in Afganistan? It took a year and a half to invade Iraq because the planning and logistics took that long for an operation that large. I’ll never forget hearing IMMEDIATELY after 9/11 on the news that Bush was mentioning Iraq. My first reaction was “Huh? That can’t be right.”

Rod,
By all means, obviously EVERYONE knows the only terrorists on the planet now are in Afghanistan. When Obama cleans it up, then there will never be another threat against us!

Let me state the obvious. The term “War on Terror” is stupid, terror is an emotion, what are we gonna fight it with prozac and zoloft. Also, calling it a “war on terrorism” is too broad because there are plenty of groups that can be labeled terrorist groups (the KKK, violent street gangs, violent motorcycle gangs, nut-jobs who try to blow up abortion clinics, etc.) and we’re not going after them as much. It is more a War Against Islamic Extremist Terrorism if you want to be precise about it.

I see that ABC is still mum on Vice President Joe Bidens daughter caught on video doing lines of cocaine. They sure didnt waste nary a minute thrashing Governor Palins 17 year old daughter for being pregnant. ABC has ZERO credibility.

“I see that ABC is still mum on Vice President Joe Bidens daughter caught on video doing lines of cocaine. They sure didnt waste nary a minute thrashing Governor Palins 17 year old daughter for being pregnant. ABC has ZERO credibility.”
Yet, you continue to read it. Interesting.
And would you care to share a link to an occassion where ABC “thrash[ed]” Bristol Palin for being pregnant? And 17 year olds with unplanned pregnancies are a far bigger problem than grown adults using drugs recreationally.

“eversince obama has been in office my small bussiness has been getting taxed more and more.”
Huh?

Wow…the mods are out in force. The disinformation campaign marches on.

“but surely you DO NOT believe that drugs are not at least as great of a problem as unwanted pregnancy is??”
No, really, I do believe it and I think they need to be legalized.
“I think you might want to take it easy on what appears to be the post of a school student. But your response is rather telling.. Let me guess, its okay to teach socialism in schools and how liberism is the only way to go, but if anyone dares question our leadership, we need to get rid of them immediately right?? Aren’t you gonna be late for your next Karl Marx book club reading??”
You’re missing the point. It’s obvious that this teacher is abusing his/her position and is taking part in a malicious disinformation campaign against our President. And with other people’s children. Let’s not only teach them false information, but let’s also show them that the moral is that being manipulative is what it’s all about.

I find it fascinating that this administration no longer uses the words “terror” or “terrorist”.
What a bunch of wusses. FYI-Not using the words will not make the threat go away.
I fear in 4 years this country will barely resemble the USA we love so much.
Sigh…..

silky–”You’re missing the point. It’s obvious that this teacher is abusing his/her position and is taking part in a malicious disinformation campaign against our President.”– Okay, so saying anything negatived toward the president is malicious and derogatory??An abuse of her position? How do you know the campaign is one of “disinformation”? What if it consists wholly of truthful talking points designed to make the kids think for themselves and draw their own conclusions? We can’t have that now can we??

Silky…..beter a mod than a NEO-COM(mie)!

Glad to hear it’s all over. Maybe that’s why we’re releasing the terrorist detainees from Gitmo. One was ordered released today. It was previously suggested that Uiyger Muslim separatists from China be released in the Washington DC/Alexandria area with a Uiyger immigrant community in the region. (They were captured in terror training camps in Pakistan.)
When the terrorists are released in the U.S. will they be monitored? Will people be protected? Adm Blair suggested the other day that they would receive some kind of government assistance. Does that mean the taxpayers now take care of the very people who bombed the Trade Centers and Flt 93?
I have never seen a people more compliant nor a media more uncurious. Perhaps we should cut off our own heads so our terrorist-citizen neighbors don’t have to break a sweat.

Personally? I think the term or phrase “Overseas Contingency Operation” is really lame… One problem with this is the term: Overseas … as if we (America) are somehow immune?
Eisenhower: “When I can’t solve a problem I always make it bigger until I can find a solution. I can never find a solution by trying to make it smaller.”

“There is no real “war” going on. Both are broad criminal acts of terror.”
3,000 Americans dead in a pile of rubble made up of the World Trade center that devastated downtown New York, took weeks to clean up. Families buried thier loved ones whos remains could fit in a pill bottle.
US Sailors pulling into port at Yemen, eating in the galley when a bomb rocked the side of the ship, killing sailors in the galley.
Women and little girls stuffed into a house in Iraq on top of mortor shells. A call is made tipping off the weapons cache knowing US planes would strike it. US planes do strike it, notice secondary explosions. Minutes later press is called to observe the carnage. Press posts picture of burned doll. No one takes notice that no males were in the house. The women and little girls were sacrificed for a press story.
This is war. This isn’t some criminal crazies. This is war with no rules, no laws, no decency. They are not random acts of violence, they are determined acts of war. When you stop thinking about it as a determined war, they win because they have not changed their determination, you have changed yours. The inevitable result will be that their determination will hit you again and again. Their will to kill cannot be broken because of a name change.
Americans have short memories and believe naively in the greater good of man, discounting the purest of evil in the world. You believe that these men are like us. They are not. They are nothing like us because they do not want to be like us. The see our limited use of our great power as weak and undeserving of God’s blessings. When they strike us, they use it to show just how weak we are.
This name change fiasco only confirms the hate they preach. We are weak and muslims should join them to strike us down.
Yeah, name change was a good idea. Don’t want to offend anyone.
