I think we should stop using the term War on Terror

[rwl4]

and start calling it: the Arab Occupation

What do you all think?

 

[Liberty Star]

It's a misleading and ineffective term, it should have never been used in first place.

UK dropped its use months ago, we should too if we haven't already. You can't declare war on a tactic and then expect a victory ceremony.

I ALWAYS make sure I use specific phrases, like "war of aggression", "complicity in acts of torture", and "nominal support for democracy". I like to use qualifiers, clarify euphamisms, and draw comparisons with past conflicts. Occasionally, I'll substitute a word like "terror" or "drugs" with something like "liberty", in order to emphasize the importance of whats being thrown down the rat hole.

Solid idea.

 

[Dieseler]

It was more amusing ( not really)
when Bush called it the
War on Tare...
Things have gone way down hill since he learned how to enunciate the word correctly.

 

[A College Student]

We need to start calling it the War of Terror.

Call it The War on Freedom and Liberty. Call it what it is.

The War of Terror.

The War on Terra.

The War on Earth.

The War on National Sovereignty.

The War on Countries with Arabs Above Ground and Oil Underground.

The War on Those Israel Dislikes.

The War on Countries With Their Own Banking Systems.

war for terror: Al Qaeda has GROWN, not shrunk

War on Ideals:
If you don't believe what I believe then I will hurt you, if you still don't believe what I believe I will try to destroy you. If I fail to destroy you it's because I cannot destroy an ideal.

Ideals are beliefs. A War on beliefs is a war on religion... the never ending war

The phrase is an absolute abstraction used--quite obviously--to allow for ANYTHING those in government want to do, probably without exception utilized for some sort of corrupt interest.

When Cheney or Clinton say "US interest" and cloak the phrase with the polarized phrase "War on Terror" this doesn't mean anything but, translated: "This guys are in the way of us--a few corrupt avaricious motherfuckers, not the American populace--gaining control of..." whatever...either some business interest meddling in foreign governments, or strategic positioning in a part of the world to meddle in foreign governments and thereby profit (I think it should be realized that the stranglehold of Israeli lobbyist/business in Washington is not much different than the strangehold of many US businesses in other nations; see Saudi Arabia, our former relationship with the Shah of Iran, etc etc...).

Anyway, all of this is probably obvious.

 

[Truth Warrior]

Given the Feds glowing results over time on the War on Poverty, War on Drugs, War on Cancer, etc. I think we should STOP the War on Terror ............ also.

Middle East Occupation

 

[Laja]

I like Iraq Occupation to be specific. This is off topic, but how about, instead of MSM, we call media the Old Media. By changing our reference term, we lessen the power we give them by calling them mainstream.

Just a thought...

 

[Rebel Resource]

Just call it resource wars.

Control of resource, the transit routes and pipelines, and to maintain the dominant petrocurrency.

 

[Liberty Star]

'War on Terror' also ryhmes with 'War on Error' and thus the term could be misunderstood.

 

[Goldwater Conservative]

You'd think a "war" against a combat tactic would be nonsensical enough, but apparently not.
