Obama said the War on Terror is over, so it must be so...
Bush’s war on terror is over

EXCERPT:
“For the first time on Thursday, President Obama laid out the full scope of his proposed counterterrorism strategy, and it boiled down to this: George W. Bush’s endless war on terror is over.
And that’s appropriate, since the enemy Bush went to war with after September 11 has largely been defeated.
Obama’s speech at the National Defense University in Washington was designed to lay the political groundwork to wind down America’s longest war, the war that began when al Qaeda destroyed the World Trade Center and a wing of the Pentagon 12 years ago.
Thursday’s speech was the first time Obama had delivered an overarching framework for how to conceptualize the conflict that has defined U.S. national security policy since 9/11.”
One more statement (see my post above) — Obma said this in May 2013:
“In short, Obama intends to end a seemingly endless war.
That’s because, according to Obama, “the core of al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan is on the path to defeat. Their remaining operatives spend more time thinking about their own safety than plotting against us.”
The war is over only the terrorists didn’t read the newspapers.
