When do you think extremist Islam will stop being a threat to the United States?
I remember reading some time ago that we are to pull out of Afghanistan in 2014, but no matter what countries we have plans to pull out from, we keep getting involved with extremist Islam.

As soon as we wrap up the War on Drugs, we'll be able to put all of our energy into the War on Terror. Surely once that happens, we'll be close to victory.

Lets call it what it really is, The War on Irrational Fear.
Heres for starters, click the link to get an eye opening perspective on what a scam its all been.

Surprising facts about the “war on terror”
Quote:
American media and elected officials talk about the threat of terrorism daily. In the last decade, the threat of terrorism has been used to justify special exemptions from the Constitution, invasions of other countries, secret surveillance laws, monitoring of innocent people with no reasonable cause for suspicion, and continuous budget deficits, as vast sums of money go to fund the military and surveillance apparatus.

When examined, the actual death toll from terrorism in the United States is astonishingly small. In the last 5 years for which data is available, an average of 4.6 Americans per year died from domestic terrorist attacks. And when we look at the publicly known terrorist attacks that have been thwarted, we see that they were small in number, limited in destructive capacity, and in a majority of cases, would probably have never come to fruition on their own.

Right now, the War on Christmas should be our #1 priority.

When we bring our troops home, quit killing them and their families and mind our own business.

Agree. We need to funnel resources from the Wars on Terror/Drugs/Women/Education/Immigration into the War on Xmas, or baby Jesus will cry.
