Tell something...which part or event of the 'War on Terror bothers you the most...
For me its anything having to do with Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfeld. Especially the events connected with Tora Bora.

3. And the fact that civilian deaths are unreported. Not to mention those who were in rendition.

2. All of it
Start to no end in sight. Everything in-between. There's nothing about the "war on terror" that doesn't bother me and it all bothers me the same.

5. The fact that Cheney, Rumsfeld, * , Rove and many others
have circumvented the Constitution and have had free reign to committ treasonous crimes.

If they are all convicted of War Profiteering and get the appropriate sentence - oh well.

7. It is the foundation of the war on terror that bothers me the most!
September 11th, 2001. We have been lied to about what and how that "new Pearl harbor event" happened and everything since is based on those lies! :grr:

31. Agree. When Cheney gave his characteristic smirk and "So" during his recent interview
he effectively raised his middle finger at Americans. What a coarse individual.

38. Democracies operate on the belief that the citizens are adult enough to
make informed choices. Cheney doesn't operate in the same way.

Where is the truth?
We're not allowed to hear it, see it, read it, listen to it...

Were it not for the dogged efforts of some investigative reporters we would know nothing. We've been packaged along with the very people who are at Gitmo.

13. I have to agree with the Dick Cheney comment
But what really makes me angry is the fact that we are still sending people over to Iraq. Why are we sending these guys to their deaths? It's not fair to their families or friends. :cry:

21. The problem with Cheney's comments is that he is insinuating
that because they are volunteers that their lives are more expendable.

26. That's it for me as well.
I know how to vote one party out of office.

I haven't a clue how to vote both parties out in a two-party system.

... the same conservatives who (rightfully) protested those people getting slaughtered at Waco now support the Patriot Act. Naked hypocrisy.

30. It's all bullshit. Like the war on poverty, the war on drugs, the war on
whatever have you, because every time they announce one of these wars, it goes on forever and the problem gets worse.

43. Beat me to it
When I realize that neither W nor Cheney nor Rumsfeld nor Wolfowitz nor Perle nor any of the rest of the MOTHER-FUCKING, SHIT-SUCKING, GOD-DAMNED NEOCONS will ever in their natural lives be held accountable for all the harm they've caused, I can quite literally feel my guts tighten.

And innocent U.S. citizens were killed as a means to an end...to kill Muslims all for the sake of greed.
