You're calling out stupidity for the sake of stupidity. Like pointing at grass and calling it green, there's no point to it.So calling out stupidity when I see it is stupid?
Sure there was. My point is that the name was ridiculous and I am glad it has been changed to something a bit more appropriate. It is quite unfortunate that nothing else will change besides the name.You're calling out stupidity for the sake of stupidity. Like pointing at grass and calling it green, there's no point to it.

Oh. :roll:Sure there was. My point is that the name was ridiculous and I am glad it has been changed to something a bit more appropriate.

Well, so what?
Hmmm...Or are trying to explain the color to someone who is color-blind?
Hmmm...
The degree of futility in that is oddly appropriate here.
Yes. And they also try to describe B-flat to a deaf person.Good point. :rofl
People still do it all the time though.

It's a ridiculous title that was thrown down right after 9/11 in order to galvanize popular support for our operations against various terror organizations. But it's intellectually misleading because you can't actually wage a war against a religious or political strategy or idealism.
I'm glad he's scrapping it because it was a stupid title. Like I said, you come back when you can articulate how he's actually putting our national security at risk.
The point I am making is that the "War on Terror" is a terrible name. It sounds endless and futile.
Yep. It does not sound like an endless and futile war."overseas contingecy operations" is better? :lol:
So in Obama's brave new world, there are no terrorist attacks but "man-caused disasters" and now the GWoT is now called 'Overseas Contingency Operation'. What purpose does this silly newspeak do? Is this to placate the enemy? To soften our stance of defense of our people. What is the point?
It was the "Global War On Terror" that was the silly newspeak: it was an absurd effort by Bush to justify an unnecessary war in Iraq by imputing an Iraqi connection to 911 and the prospect of imminent terror attacks coming from Iraq, all of which was fraudulent. This is what happens when you take policy away from the grownups and hand it over to Cecil B. DeMille and the Publicity Department.

The Obama administration will prove to be a disaster on foreign policy. So far their direction seems to be to turn their back on our long term allies and reach out to China, Russia and Iran. This is "Carter Crap" and America will forever be weakened if weakness is our new creed.
He's a narcissistic people-pleaser--he's saying what he thinks will make people happy today, with no care for tomorrow.So in Obama's brave new world, there are no terrorist attacks but "man-caused disasters" and now the GWoT is now called 'Overseas Contingency Operation'.
