Why are you still hanging around? I denounced you already to Frau Blucher at flag-at-whitehouse-dot-gov. See Jonn’s Fishy post.
““We are at war with al Qaeda,” he said. “We are at war with its violent extremist allies who seek to carry on al Qaeda’s murderous agenda.””
Does that mean we’re at war with Iran?
“Does that mean we’re at war with Iran”? Why no, Jonn. We’re studying how Iran deals with “protesters” so the gubmint can deal with people who won’t go along with their programs. And how they run health care, too.
WTF?!
To show my support for the White House’s creative method of framing things, I’m going to go ahead and declare that I’m officially not dating Megan Fox and that all attempts on her part to contact me will be ignored. Additionally I reject the use of the terms ‘stalker’ or ‘restraining order’ as negative and not effective in dealing with the situation that she and I do not currently find ourselves in. I’m sure that given time and understanding, none of these issues will work themselves out.
‘The only terminology that Mr. Brennan said the administration is using is that the U.S. is “at war with al Qaeda.” ‘
So…other terrorists, run of the mill NOT-Al Qaeda groups, we’re cool with them? Do what you want, we’re just going to focus on people who go to these meetings, that’s the deal?
Just checking.
I guess it follows our WWII policy, I mean WWII was not so much a “War on Fascism” as a “War on Nazis”…um, and Italian Fascists…and the Japanese…whose Emperor of course surrendered on the decks of the Battleship Potemkin if I remember my history correctly.
Oh, and PS-thank God we’re tackling the “important” aspects of warfighting, like how to brand the war.
‘While Mr. Brennan acknowledged that al Qaeda and its affiliates are active in countries throughout the Middle East and Africa, he also said that “portraying this as a ‘global’ war risks reinforcing the very image that al Qaeda seeks to project of itself — that it is a highly organized, global entity capable of replacing sovereign nations with a global caliphate.” ‘
Yup. Because it’s not like they’ve demonstrated that they’re an entity capable of operating in a Global environment or carry out attacks on multiple continents. Nosiree…nor would we want to create the impression that they’re organized and capable of planning operations like that. That would just worry people with facts and stuff…facts have no place in the face of Hope.
““We are at war with al Qaeda,” he said. “We are at war with its violent extremist allies who seek to carry on al Qaeda’s murderous agenda.””
Does that mean we are going to invade Saudi Arabia? Saddam was a bad dude and Ahmadinejad and Khameinei are dicks, but the Saudis are the kings of Wahhabism.
Its all about terminology and smoke screens. When do leave Afghanistan then since we are no longer fighting the Taliban, but just Al-Qaida and they are hiding in Pakistan.
Do I need to turn my GWOT medals back in for a better politically correctly named medal?
Dutch has a very good point. Should I keep my GWOT ribbon or is another one one the way? Maybe VA chief Eric Shinseki can design the new “War on Al Qaida” medal and have it produced in China and rank it above the MoH. That would probably piss off even more real soldiers than his black beret for everybody plan. That worked so well.
“We are at war with al Qaeda,” but we’re really not? Or are we at war with just the Al-Quaeda in Afghanistan, or the ones in Pakistan, or the affiliated groups in Indonesia, the Philippines or other assorted countries throughout the world? I’m confused, I hope the Hope-N-Changers print programs soon, so I can keep track of who we’re really at war with. Or is it, who we’re at man-caused disasters with? Did anyone clear this with Sec. Napolitano?
Hey, Frau Blucher (Linda Douglas) promised me that I would receive the “Pavlik Morozov” Medal (see Moonbattery, Soviet medal for some scumbag child, later killed by his own extended family, for denouncing his father during the Soviet reign of terror) for denouncing you! I’m waiting for my Medal! The ObamaMessiah has PROMISED me this! I’ve been promised FREE ObamaCare for life for denouncing Thought Criminals like you!
What is wrong with this country when I properly denounce you to appropriate authorities and you are STILL hanging around? Shouldn’t the Secret Police (a.k.a. ACORN, or whatever acronym they claim these days) have rounded you (TSO) up by now? How can we have an effective dictatorship if people like you are running loose?
The Dictatorship of the Proletariat will NEVER succeed until you Mob members are put into re-education Gulags!
/sarc off!
Wait a minute… we’re at war with al Qaeda? Crap. Our sincerest apologies for any killings of non-al Qadea people that were trying to kill us in Afghanistan. Honest mistake. Oh, and those Korean Engineers at Bagram that we waxed in the chow hall… again, honest mistake.
I’m surprised they even use the word “War”. Thought they would say something like “We are in a meaningful disagreement with Al Qaeda, but we respect their feelings to dislike us.”
Obama needs to ring up the Islamic terrorist wackjobs and let them know ‘it’s all over’. Maybe they’ll put away their AKs, IEDs and homicide bombs, hold hands and sing Kumbaya.

My take on this was written on 01 July:
http://sfcmac.wordpress.com/2009/07/01/obama-drops-war-on-terror-phrase/
Obama needs to ring up the Islamic terrorist wackjobs and let them know ‘it’s all over’. Maybe they’ll put away their AKs, IEDs and homicide bombs, hold hands and sing Kumbaya.
Uh huh.
By the way, Brennen can’t seem to make up his mind:
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=aROjQNLl.22I
He defines al Qaeda as “still the most serious threat to the U.S.”, but we’re not fighting “terrorists” anymore, because the “war on terror is over”.
The schizophrenic behavior of the Obama regime must have al Qaeda laughing their asses off.
Poor Janet Napolitano. She just learned how to use a new word and they up and put it on the soap in the mouth list.
