Afghanistan-a good decision?

There's only a 100 there. That's like using our military here to go after some large gang or something. Africa probably has more AlQida than Afghanistan does. And some one in the administration needs to learn Afghanistan's military history.....

And who in Afganistan is helping them?........ The Taliban.

What happened to your old battle cry of "if you aint with us your against us"?

This ignores the fact that the same report made it clear they were simply using the rules of conflict (just like they used to in Viet Nam against our troops, politically run wars suck.) and moving across the Pakistan border so that no engagement on them would be made. It's like you didn't even listen to the speech. I can understand that, it sounded so much like Bush it was hard to pay attention.

Just like you declare war on an object.Like drugs for instance.

It's even weirder than that...because as vague as the "war on drugs" is, at least you can point to the harmful illicit drugs. How one declares war on a military tactic is still a mystery.

Its you pc morons, who make it somehow wrong to identify actual enemies. jihadists for instance.

you reduce the public discourse to stupidity with your insistence on obfuscatory language.

As usual, you don't have a God damned clue as to the true nature of what I'm referring to...and to cover your ignorance you rely on a collection of catch phrases and buzz words...which just conveys your negative neocon knee jerk to anything the "liberals" say.

Let me dumb it down for you: No one objects to calling declared jihadist exactly that. That is a description of a person who is following a specific doctrine with action.

terrorism is a quasi-military tactic that can be practiced by ANYONE. Case in point, you have read the term "eco-terrorist" given to certain groups of environmentalist who are extremist in their protest against the logging industry and the real estate industry....they use tactics such as burning down empty property to implating steel spikes in virgin forest trees to damage the chain saws used by loggers (tactics that are potentially deadly to people).

You don't have the US military hunting them down, do you? Nope, that's the FBI's jurisdiction....or was until the Shrub and our wussy Congress cobbled together the bloated bureaucracy of Homeland security.

Then there's all the stuff going on in India, Spain, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Mexico....terrorism abounds according to local gov'ts. But no US military rushing in.

The ONLY time the US "war on terror" seems to interest our military is when it's connected to Al Qaida....and rightly so.

But you can't just roll in the troops to every country where some wanna-be's declare themselves muslim extremists or jihadist or islamic fundamentalist and kills someone or destroys property. You do what's been done effectively for decades, you have the proper agencies contact the local gov't, and then you work with them to ID the threat and neutralize it.

BUt you libbies do get worked up when jihadists are fingered, even if they did it. That's why we have the stupidity of declaring war on a tactic, the absurdity of which you noted previously.

You seem to understand it now. Are you getting stupider?

Don't you get it? This lame ass Rove tactic of ignoring logic and repeating slander and lies just doesn't work anymore. No one is buying it, that's why the neocon driven GOP got it's ass kicked in November 2008.

You can make all the assinine accusations, tell all the lies you want and repeat them ad nauseum, but you don't dare address the points I put forth in a rational and logical manner.

Take your ass out of your hat and grow up, will ya?
