Will the Leftists apologize when we win this War on Terror?

Question

Although it will take many years, I believe we can win this War on Terror if we simply avoid the temptation of throwing in the towel early.

And when we win, should all the Leftists be rounded up and forced to walk before an assembly of our soldiers, apologizing one-at-a-time for letting our troops down?

I think so.

Answer 1

I've got some oceanfront property in Iowa. Want to buy it?

Answer 2

The intension of the War on Terror is to last forever. It's unwinnable since "terrorism" has been a tactic since before Atilla the Hun or Genghis Kahn.

I personally thank the troops when I see any, including retired military. I don't owe them an apology.

Here's a simple question with a difficult answer I'd like you to address; How do we know when we've won the war on terror?

Answer 3

Terrorism is an ideology not like a traditional army. Terrorism has always existed and always will. Our goal should not be to end it because that is not possible but to reduce it to a level that said terrorists are weak and unable to do us much harm. Unfortunately as long as we are in Iraq we are seen as infidels on their sacred land and that makes for a great recruiting tool for the terrorist groups. No apologies will be necessary. Your propaganda and scare tactics worked for awhile but people are wise to them now so you no longer look informed and bold but like a fool.

We know your tactics. They are nothing new. Here is a quote from one of your obvious idols that explains it all:

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials

Answer 4

The "war on terror" can't be 'won' because that's not the reasons we're in this 'war'. The 9-11 attacks - whether or not our government participated in, or knew about, them - became the perfect excuse Bush needed to attack Iraq, even though there was no evidence that Iraq had anything to do with 9-11.
From his very first day in office, Bush's mission was to 'settle the score' with Saddam Hussein, who had humiliated George H.W. Bush during Desert Storm. Bush 1 was even criticized and ridiculed at home for 'not finishing the job' and ousting Hussein at that time;
Dick Cheney wanted all of Iraq's OIL so that his Exxon-Mobil buddies could get richer and richer and richer feeding America's addiction to cheap, easily-accessible foreign OIL instead of developing alternative energy programs;
After World War II, the giant U.S. military-industrial complex realized how profitable 'war' could be; so all the politicians were bought up, pricey lobbyists were hired, and special interest groups were formed to promote and encourage more 'war'. Thus, the U.S. got entangled in the Korean Conflict; the Cuban Missile Crisis; the Cold War; Vietnam and Desert Storm. Dwight Eisenhower warned us about this, but - as usual - nobody listened. A new 'war' was necessary to boost the sagging profits of all those government contractors who'd had some lean times during 'peace time'. Add to that the two 'newcomers' to the government war trough: the Carlyle Group and Halliburton BOTH have direct ties to the Bush-Cheney White House, and needed to make their grab for billions of taxpayer dollars.
There will nothing to apologize for because this 'war' will never be 'won'. It is an unconstitutional, illegal, immoral, unjustifiable military action ['war' can only be declared by Congress, which hasn't happened since World War II] implemented by George W. Bush because that's the one reason his family, and their wealthy friends, selected him to be President.
George Bush, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld and all of the war-mongerers should be tried for high crimes against humanity in an international tribunal, and - if convicted - should hang just as they arranged to hang Hussein.
Surely Satan has reserved a special oil-soaked, blood-stained corner of Hell for these cretins, along with all 535 members of the most arrogant, incompetent, cowardly, contemptible, corrupt Republican-led Congress in U.S. history which stood by and let Bush run rip shod over our Constitution just so he could play 'Commander-In-Chief'.
In that same corner of Hell should be all 535 members of the most arrogant, incompetent, cowardly, contemptible, corrupt Democratic-led Congress in U.S. history which promised to end this 'war' if they were elected, and has done nothing to keep that promise.

Answer 5

You can't win this war on terror. You can achieve a stand-off, cease-fire, stalemate or whatever, but terrorism as a means of extremely violent action will always be an option for one group or another. Balance is what is required. Terrorists are like weeds, you cut one down, another one appears. Controlling it is what is a more reasonable goal.

Answer 6

This "war" is non-win able, in any way, shape or form !!!!
You cannot "win" a war of ideology ( mindset) with any physical weapon, tactic, occupation, or other physical condition/s !!!!
I fear this "war" is at the very starting point, and will continue on, just as has the Arab / Israeli conflict/ s since the time Abraham and Sarah sent Hagar and her child into the wilderness of the desert !!! QUOTE " THERE SHALL BE WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS, UNTIL THE RETURN OF THE (creator) ---" !!!!!!

Answer 7

I don't think anyone wants to end the "war on terror" but that's not the same thing as wanting to get out of Iraq, a country that did not have WMD and was not a threat to us. We need to refocus our forces to where Al Qaeda is (and no, they are not in Iraq).

Answer 8

The war on terror is actually an occupation and not a real war at all.

Answer 9

To win...first you have to define....who is the enemy?...where are they at...what defines a win.

P.S. Have never heard a liberal complain about efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan (Thats where the terrorists are)....the complaint you hear is that we didnt put enough resources in that region....Question for you....what does Iraq have to do with terrorism, there were no terrorist there prior to 2004

Answer 10

How does win a war against terror? It's nameless and faceless and we've had it in our own backyard. Remember Oklahoma City?

Answer 11

I have no problem with the war on terror, I have a problem with the Iraq war. How can you bash us if you can't even get your own wars straight?
