Obama made these statement 3 years ago. If he considers the slaughter we have been witnessing as a sign that the war on terrorism is over, I'd hate to see what would happen if we had a real war on terror. We are in a Mad Max under the Thunder dome world! Complete insanity.

He can’t even say the name of the enemy.

That was the poster’s point. He clarified it with his first comment.

it shocked the hell out of me for a minute.

knowing that he didn’t follow up at all makes a lot more sense, still putting that it was dated in the title would be good

dont know if thats possible :)

Should have put 2013. I did say in my comment section it was 3 years old. Don’t know how to change it.

The terrorists didn't end their war. But we quit fighting them.

Hit abuse on the threead, and politely ask the mod to change the title and/or date. Maybe “Obama in 2013: ‘Global War on Terror’ Is Over”

He can’t even say the name of the enemy.

The name is "terrorist" and s/he can be male, female, of any culture, any age and any nationality.

Terrorism isn't new and it will never go away.
I was a history major in college and our human history is a history of terrorism, that is, war.

People have always fought over the four "scarce resources," that is, land, power, money and status. I don't see things changing much, do you?

He's a puppet on a stick and it's up his...backside. It's the agenda of the Democrat Party that he follows.

NOW BATTING: number two, Shrillary Clinton!
