Get with the definition. Your President has twisted your brains? You would have been fighting a war on terror if you were just looking for Bin and his band in Afghanistan. But by invading Iraq, you have a different enemy,. Its called The Resistance. They are nor REALLY TERRORISTS but a resistance army with their various allies.

The invasion and occupation of Iraq and the subsequent resiatance war - which can rightly be called the War of Resistance is REAL. A real War.
Stick with the program. And it requires half a million US troops and A million tons of hardware to keep it going. That is whats what people.

And girl. The only way they see the "Security Forces" set up by the US are as collaborators,.Thats why they are being blown up. I just give you the facts because Im not confused by the fine wording of the thing.
And they (normal Iraqis have been demonstration in force to tell the US to get out. That you can read on the news. Even on FOX

You are right. The war on terror is going on in Afghanistan and the other real war is in Iraq.

The thing is we know the war on terror is a sham thought up by the bush administration to shape the minds of the sheeple , BUT what they have done is start a war that cannot be won it just cant , they have also given the extremist so much support globally in the islamic nation creating a never ending enemy !!.
its all problem , reaction , solution , total divide and conquer and if the majority of the people on this planet dont wake up and comprehend who, how and why we are heading for catastrophic times and many of us wont live through it and if we do we will wish we hadnt but eventually good will out .

Talking about a "war on terror" is an abuse of language intended to scare the stupid peasants who won't or can't think.
Terror is not an enemy. Terror is an emotion. You can't negotiate a peace treaty with an emotion. You can't accept a surrender from an emotion.
An emotion is something that goes on in your own mind. If an emotion needs to be addressed, you don't call out the Army; you get therapy.

The War on Terror was already warned of it's dangers. No crap it's a full scale war, but guess what... They're walking into it. Better than us just dropping troops here and there. They know the land in Iraq, and those we oppose are walking into the funnel web.

The "war on terror" is a marketing phrase, like the "war on drugs" or the "war on crime". It has no practical meaning.
The occupation of Iraq is also not a war in any legal sense. It is just a deployment of US troops to another country, where that country is engaged in its own internal civil/sectarian war.
One has nothing to do with the other. And certainly, fighting in Iraq does nothing to stop the scores of other terrorist groups that exist in dozens of other countries around the world.
But people are only now starting to realize that, as they begin to look at the facts.

Partly right...We are also fighting the global war on terrorism in the Horn of Africa, The Phillipines, and obviously afhganistan. Iraq has gotten out of hand with the sunnis and shiites fighting each other and al queada doing their best to cause further mayhem and death with it's terrorist tactics. We have to find a way to get iraqi military and police up to speed to handle 80% or 75% of their own issues, plus it is also a political problem with teh shiites and sunnis not coming together to share oil wealth equitably. Hopefully we can begin lowering our force level and responsibilities their next year.

You appear to be the confused one. The war in Iraq is to provide security for the Iraqi's while they build their own security forces. Okay? got that one? Now lets go on to the war on terror. That is a Global war and a different coalition even, but the main heavy fighting is in Afghanistan. See? That wasn't so hard now was it?

Neither. They are fighting a war for control of oil reserves in the Gulf.

Semantics. Maybe it is you who doesn't understand who the "Resistance" is.
Unlike the war on poverty and war on drugs, this war on terror requires killing people. It is not simply a war on an ideology (drugs or poverty). There are real people with real terrorist ideologies, and the only language they know is death. They are not interested in negotiating anything but the annihilation of Israel, nukes for Iran, and radical Islamic control of Iraqi oil.
Likely, we are engaged in averting WWIII by staying in Iraq.
So who is not paying attention?
