... or "war" ...


... or "winning"
 
Them Arabs have been fighting since time began. And so it goes......No winning just losing.
 
Winning the war on terror is hard to define.........All I know is in spite of all the roadblocks and obstruction by our left wing friends we have not had and attack on this country since 9/11/01 and I never would have thought that on 9/12/01......I figured it would be like Israel with attacks like suicide bombers happening all the time.......That has not happened in spite of all the obstruction by the left......

I think the President, his administration, Homeland Security deserve a big well done and thank you for keeping us safe........

God Bless the Commander in Chief, our brave troops in harms way and the USA...........
 
Winning? No. Still just fighting with no end in sight.

IMO, we are not fighting it well, or correctly. If we have a neighbor with a mean dog, we should tell him to make sure his dog is fenced in, because if he gets out, we will kill it. And if he then gets another mean dog, and it gets out, we should will make the neighbor's life miserable until he learns to be a good neighbor. The community has the right to protect itself from individuals who have no love or respect for others.

In short, put the responsibility for fighting the war on terrorism squarely on the shoulders of those who are providing the terrorists. The Arab/Muslim world needs to clean house within their borders first, and we should shut up about how they accomplish it. If they won't be good neighbors, we should first launch legal attacks, including freezing accounts and/or seizing all assets held in our banks. After a short period of time, if that does not work, we should fence them in (blockade, nobody goes in, nobody comes out), isolating them from us as much as we can. Failing that, send in cruise missles a few at a time, military targets first, government targets next.

Ground troops would never be used. Let them fight among themselves until they decide that being a good neighbor is to their advantage.
