"Clearly, he does not. So the news that a 2006 National Intelligence Estimate concludes the threat of terror against the United States has increased since 9/11, largely thanks to his irrational invasion of Iraq, has not disturbed Bush's branded "what, me worry'' countenance."

Casaulties in WWII were highest just before Germany surrendered, and just before Japan surrendered. These fools have no understanding of history or War. As most Democrats, they want to make the War on Terror a legal issue....

The reason that analogy fails is that it's a misnomer. We call it a global war on terror, but it's actually a global counterinsurgency. Comparing the GWOT to a conventional war is as apt as comparing it to golf. The metaphor only stretches so far.
