Because terrorism has never been beaten by force.

Militarily we are not. We control most of the territory, most of the infrastructure, and they are losing hundreds more "soldiers" than we are every month. The difference is that
A. Islamic Militants do not care what the civilians at home say or care about
B. The only press in most Islamic countries is Al Jazeera which only tells the bad about us and the good about them to their readers. Not that our press is much better
C. They do not have to follow any rules such as the Geneva Convention, so they can torture our soldiers while our guys have to watch everything they do. Hear anyone in the world complain about them murdering captives and prisoners? The whole world screamed when a couple of our guys (and girls) made them stand on their heads naked! Hope they never go to a college during pledge week!
D. Our press in America is a bunch of girlie men (to quote one Governor) that has no stomach for fighting. We lost more men in one day sometimes in WWII than we have lost all together in the Iraq war, but they talk about how we've been in Iraq longer than we were in WWII. Well we stayed in Germany and Italy as occupiers for decades after WWII.
E. Many Americans (liberals) would rather lose a war and let terrorists go than do anything or say anything good about Bush or any Republican.

The situation in Iraq has been the turning point for evaluating the success of the war on "terror". Iraq, initially accused of possesing WMD, was considered a terror threat and a possible link to Al-Qaeda was even mentioned.

The entire focus on world terrorism was lost, because even though Iraq might have been ruled by a dominating tyrant there was no proof that it was a terrorist regime. (in fact nothing suggests that it was and Al-qaeda in Iraq was formed AFTER the invasion)

Therefore, if Iraq is included in the war on terror, then America is losing.

How do you figure America is losing the war on terror?

I don't think the US is losing the global war on terrorism. It's time to gradually disengage from Iraq and let the Iraqi security forces take over.

No, the conflict is by no potential over. i think of it replaced into Thomas Jefferson who stated, 'the fee of liberty is eternal vigilance.' I take this to point the fee of freedom is eternal vigilance. That we as individuals will perpetually be combating the combat against terrorism, tyranny, evil, and foreign places powers. that's larger to combat and lose that to be afraid to combat. in case you lose a combat, yet fought properly, the opponent will think of long and stressful in the previous attempting a 2d combat. The conflict on terror replaced right into a achievement for me while it replaced into pronounced that Osama Bin weighted down stated if he had properly-known of the capability of the U. S. reaction to the terrorist assaults, he don't have attacked. He theory that the reaction may be the generic gentle diplomatic political predictable reaction. And it somewhat is gloomy by using fact Osama Bin Liden replaced right into a clever guy. He could have carried out extra working with-interior the U. S. equipment, extremely than engaged on the exterior to wreck it. The IRONY of the area is individuals wasted maximum of lives and lots money combating a conflict in yet another u . s . that they did no longer shield their own people from terror of their own u . s . combating terrorist in yet another u . s . is conserving the united statesa.. what share terrorist won't have the possibility to attack united statesa. by using fact they at the instant are lifeless? I advise, heavily, wasn't the part of the conflict on Terror to steer away from those varieties of assaults on American soil? No, the element replaced into to the kill terrorist who had declared conflict on united statesa.. No united statesa. did no longer lose the conflict on terror.

Because there is no such thing as a war on terror. Terror is a tactic, not an enemy. The enemy is Islamofacism.

many innocent people died: esp. Iraqi mothers, children, and elderly. It only promotes hatred and more violence.
some also uses the issue to justfiy violence on the fundamental rights of every human being.
war on terror is an issue that will remain an issue for as long as there are empires to conquer and resources to grab. meaning forever!

Isnt it obvious. I mean, instead of focussing purely on the specific networks, they decided to go and invade a whole country, no wait, 2 whole countries. Now they are dug in deep, that they cant get out. Shows bushs poor leadership. Not surprising though.
