The biggest myth is that Iraq is a war on terrorism. The war against AQ and bin Laden is still unfinished. Iraq is a war on Islamofascism, whatever the hell that is.

Why do you say it’s not?

Islamofascism is the term coined by our strategic communications people, such as they are, to identify the fanatical, misogynistic, donkey-raping, stuck-in-the 7th Century, Jew-hating, Nazi-worshipping MUSLIM BAD GUYS who have been at war with Western Christendom for 1400 years, and at war with America since 1979 (Iran), 1906 (Morocco), 1899-1913 (Philippines), 1804-1815 (Barbary Pirates). Do you have a better term for them?

We aren't really at war with the IRA, or the ETA, or the LTTE, because they have been smart enough not to draw our wrath.

"Iraq is a war on Islamofascism, whatever the hell that is."

Are you kidding around or don't you really understand that virtually all acts of 'terrorism' committed in the world today are done by Islamofacists (Islamists)?

Weird comment.

You separate Iraq from war on terrorism by, apparently, equating war on terrorism with war against "AQ and bin Laden". First, I guess this means you think that only AQ are terrorists and terrorists = AQ; it doesn't seem to cross your mind that terrorists can be unassociated with AQ per se. Second, I guess this means you are unaware of the fact that AQ is operating in Iraq (either that or you're ignoring the fact). Otherwise why would you complain that by us being in Iraq we're not fighting the "war on terrorism", which (in your mind) is the war on AQ, which is "unfinished"?

I'll go more slowly for you: Al. Qaeda. is. in. Iraq. Do you want us to confront Al Qaeda or don't you? Don't pretend that you want to fight Al Qaeda and then complain that we're in Iraq. Al. Qaeda. is. in. Iraq!

Any way you slice it, weird comment.

Can you please explain why we are killing, capturing and chasing so many Al Quaeda in Iraq if Iraq is not part of the war on terrorism?
