The "War on Terror" is a perfect war for the suppliers of men, weapons and technology. They make all the money and never have to risk stopping a bullet. They spend our money and get rich. That is the American Way.
IMHO we should remove our troops, our aid and ourselves from the Middle East and Africa from Mauritania to Afghanistan. Let those bastards fight it our without our help or hindrance. We can take the money we save and rebuild our country for the 21st century instead of being mired in the 20th.
BTW - Try calling the French soldiers cowards at a Foreign Legion reunion. Be prepared to run.
Hired merc army is going to fight me for insulting France? LOL
Yeah when is the next reunion I'd like to hear about it. What jail will it be held at?
Our Commander in chief claims the war is over. Political desires don't match national security. The security of a nation and it's people "must" come first. The president is just manipulating the words to pander to his base and his base is willingly going along at the expense of our safety and for the benefit of Obama. Benghazi was an example of the left being more concerned with the Obama presidency and legacy than American lives. Semantics are not going to keep us safe.
Obama is more worried about his legacy than the lives of the American people.

Dear leader tells us all that there is no AQ doing any of this stuff. Just more workplace violence I guess.
But here useful idiots is the really big threat to your safety that we must crack down on..........
"And finally, we face a real threat from radicalized individuals here in the United States. Whether it’s a shooter at a Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, a plane flying into a building in Texas, or the extremists who killed 168 people at the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, America has confronted many forms of violent extremism in our history. Deranged or alienated individuals — often U.S. citizens or legal residents — can do enormous damage, particularly when inspired by larger notions of violent jihad. And that pull towards extremism appears to have led to the shooting at Fort Hood and the bombing of the Boston Marathon. "
Bill Clinton is that you? The green light has just been given to AQ. They will come calling just like on 9-11. Obama stands with the muslims.
Obama's speech was highly partisan and had more to do with domestic politics, protecting himself.
With Obama declaring that the US war on terror as over what effect do you think that will have on the terrorists overseas? Al-Qaeda declared war on the west, on the U.S. 15 yrs ago while other terrorist groups followed suit. When terrorist continue fighting and we surrender, how can you judge the outcome of the war any other way except we are not safe and the US has lost?
Obama is "reshaping" America's image, and there is no doubt that the Islamic world will take note of the weakness that Obama is projecting.
I don't know, I thought Obama supporters were bigger and badder than that. I didn't realize they were wimps and would so easily and willingly wave the white flag in defeat. Obviously I was wrong. I wish that he was right but anyone with common sense knows he is "dead wrong". The question is, what innocent lives will be lost next?
I wish anyone of you who claim that Obama said the war on terror is over could quote his words from that speech. Here is one line to get you started.
"First, we must finish the work of defeating al Qaeda and its associated forces."
Some how when I read this it didn't translate to "the war on terror is over".
Bill Mahr is right. Nothing gets through the bubble. I have no love of this administration but when you partisan zombies post this nonsense any possibility of allowing you credibility just flies right out the window.
I expect the OP has all his bullets and guns all ready for this war! Yeah!!
He will be taking his laptop and reporting to the front lines shortly.
