Barack Obama declares the 'War on Terror' is over President Barack Obama has rejected George W. Bush's doctrine that placed the "war on terror" at the centre of American foreign policy,

The US president has instead replaced it with a softer approach stressing "new partnerships" and multilateral diplomacy.
"Our long-term security will not come from our ability to instill fear in other peoples but through our capacity to speak to their hopes," Mr Obama said in a message introducing a new national security strategy.
In the 52-page document, drawn up after 16 months of deliberations, Mr Obama outlines a much broader set of priorities and methods than Mr Bush's tightly-focused determination to eradicate Islamism by any means possible and alone if necessary.
"We will always seek to delegitimise the use of terrorism and to isolate those who carry it out," it states. "Yet this is not a global war against a tactic – terrorism – or a religion – Islam.

> Naivety...........
NO!
SURRENDER!
TREASON!
Has the room with the padded walls been reserved??
Terrorist will continue the terror regardless.
You call it naivety. He’s pro-Islamist and anti-American.
It’s why we need to make “peace” agreements with the old guard soviets when we aren’t at war with Russia.
We won the Cold War and he’s sorry we did.
“Our long-term security will not come from our ability to instill fear in other peoples but through our capacity to speak to their hopes,”
You’ve got to be kidding me!! Someone tell me this statement is a joke.
Great news! Now we can finally focus on those Amish.
They’re the ones who keep beheading people & mutilating female genitals, right?

their hopes are to spread Islam to the entire world...
The very use of the term “war on terror” was a complete joke, and was strong evidence (in my humble opinion) that this country either: (1) didn’t take the military engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan seriously; or (2) conducted them for reasons other than what has been told to the American public.
“Our long-term security will not come from our ability to instill fear in other peoples but through our capacity to speak to their hopes,”
“their hopes are to spread Islam to the entire world...”
And to murder those who don’t convert. I’m really getting tired of hearing “Islamic extremist”, it’s so redundant.
The dummie thinks that terror is a legitimate precept of Islam. Therefore, not worthy of WAR.
This is what you get with these pathetic socialist wonks.
it’s Americans fault because we don’t like being TERRORIZED.
Yet I bet when the FBI is arresting people for TERRORISTIC behavour, they didn’t get the MEMO terrorism is only a concept not a fact unless Americans show FEAR.
Psycho radicals, no wonder Bill Ayers and his slut wife are welcome members of the inner circle.

Doesn’t that sound so fuzzy wuzzy wunderful?
Except that “their hopes” are to convert us to their sick, demonic, cult, subject us to slavery, or put us to death.
Is this guy taking pot?
This article is satire, right?
Over? Hell, no. He’s got to track down all those racist, religious, gun nuts who hate it when the government spends money it doesn’t have.
When does he outlaw gravity and make every day Sunshine-and-Lolipops Day..?
Iran hopes to nuke Israel off the face of the Earth.
North Korea hopes to get nukes to intimidate the West leaning APAC Rim.
Hamas hopes to kill Israeli's by the thousands in their next war.
Russia hopes that we surrender our strategic advantage in nuclear stockpiles and conventional forces.
Obama will help them all attain their hopes.
