I have to agree with one point. The "war on terror" doesn't really exist. One, it's not a war until Congress declares it as such, and two, like the "war on poverty", the "war on drugs", etc., they're fighting an idea, a nebulous concept that in and of itself can never be wholly defeated. There's no one to surrender, no objective to attain to "win". In no way do I say this to besmirch our brave military who are fighting. Their leadership, if it can be called that, sucks, though.
The "war on terror" is in fact a war, if by that you're talking about the commitment of forces to combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.I have to agree with one point.
