You can't have a War On Terror |

There's no such thing. This is not a new kind of war. There is a war in Iraq in that bullets are flying. This is a war started by the US. But the War on Terror is not a war at all. It is a PR campaign. The War on Terror is a PR Campaign to keep George Bush and company propped up.
Democrats - quit using the phrase "War on Terror" you are perpetuating a lie

And, as always, there's a relevant quote from Jon Stewart on the subject:
"War on terror? We've already had a War on Drugs, and a War on Poverty. Isn't it obvious we can't win one of these things?"

5. Exactly .. that's why they picked it |

It's a war that will never end because it can never be won.
terror is an emotion.... it would be like having a war on happiness or a war on melancholy
the while thing is so silly it's terrifying
