Answer 1

The problem is that terrorism will always be around, it's been around for thousands of years. It's a misnomer, like war on poverty. You can't have a war on something that can't be destroyed or killed.

Answer 2

Well, if there actually WAS a war on terror I would be all for it. Just because G.W. called invading Iraq the "War on Terror" doesn't make it so, and I don't see it that way.

If there WAS a war on terror, that would include securing the borders and checking all shipping containers that come in here from other countries. But of course that's never going to happen because the corporatists would cut off they campaign funding after they threw a hissy fit because they stuff got searched and they couldn't get cheap labor from over the border anymore.

So in essence, he has talked the talk, but not walked the walk.

So those reports that you linked, is that by a non-partisan committee or the white house spin machine?

Answer 3

We are accomplishing nothing that really needs to be accomplished....Al Queada is not even in Iraq and neither is Bin Laden. THEY ARE IN PAKISTAN!!! Trying to catch every single terrorist in Iraq is very unrealistic. Getting the source of the problem would be the smartest thing to do but no while we sit in Iraq and troops die for a lost cause Al Queada is back to pre-9/11 strength!

Answer 4

Let's see. We went to war because Bush lied about the grounds for that war to Congress and the American people.

There are 3500 dead American servicemen and women, the majority of whom didn't live to see their 25th birthday.

The war has gone on longer than World War II or the Civil War.

There is no end in sight.

It would take a LOT of accomplishments for the MAJORITY OF AMERICANS to support the war, let alone the Left.

Answer 5

It really makes you wonder what the left really supports. They can't see this war for what it is - it's a war on terror, on extremism, on radical ideas, a war, ultimately, on evil. If they don't support it, what do they support? We'd have to have major setbacks for the left to say "Let's keep fighting." Forget progress and liberty.

Answer 6

Send the troops to find Binladen and bring the rest home. Let Iraq bomb the h*** out of each other until there all gone. Why do our troops have to be apart of that? Let them take care of there own crap. If they can't by now, TOO BAD! Let's put the troops were they need to be, protecting us from here, protect our borders. What happens when they try to hit us here again and all the troops are overseas?! Get a clue people!

Answer 7

1. Bush needs to acknowledge that he lied to get us into the war.
2. Bush needs to come clean as to the REAL reason for the war in Iraq.
3. Bush needs to explain why we didn't put our energies into going after Al Qaeda and Bin Laden in 2001 and continue rather than concentrating on Iraq and thus moving Al Qaeda to Iraq and strengthening them.
4. The Administration needs to tell us what their strategy is to exit Iraq. When do we know we have won?
5. Bush needs to apologise for all the lying and corruption of his Administration and work WITH Congress and not against them regarding the war in Iraq and with everything else.

Those are just starters.

Answer 8

The War on Terror - like the War on Drugs - really is a stupid, hopeless policy. So, unless the conservatives turn against it en masse, the democrats will never take it up (they don't oppose it because it's stupid, but merely because thier rivals came up with it).

How many failures will it take for the right to give up on the War on Terror, and start declaring war on the various states that use terrorism as a weapon against America?

Answer 9

Accomplish the impeachment of the President and Vice president.
Accomplish the withdrawl from Iraq
Accomplish operation Enduring Freedom by removing Alqaida from Afghanistan and capturing Osama.
Then I will be all for the war on Terror.
However I will never be for a bible thumping crusade of fear and destruction.
Also I am not a liberal.

Answer 10

If success came in a wave length through their tin foil hats the loony left still wouldn't know.
