Terrorism not mentioned in Inaugural Address

Did We Win the “War on Terror”?
23 January 2005

Did I miss something? What happened to the “War on Terror”? It’s astonishing. In the 2,050 words of Bush’s Inaugural Address, the words terror, terrorist or terrorism do not exist. Nor do the words September 11, 9/11, Bin Laden, or Al Qaeda. Conventional wisdom has it that the election turned on the fear of terrorist attacks. We have heard nothing but terror, terror, terror for 3 years. Fight them over there. No attacks on US soil. Smoke ‘em out. “We will not stop, we will not tire, until this danger to civilization is removed”. And yet, one of the most important addresses a President gives is completely void of direct reference to the most serious threat to our security in the 21st Century.

Instead, we were treated to an incoherent and grandiose call to end tyranny for all time and expand freedom to all the world; a bloviated mix of religiosity and imperium without an ounce of humility or genuine respect.
