It annoys me everytime I see or hear the phrase "war on terror"

This is a war against terrorists, specifically Islamic terrorists.

Terror is a tool. You dont go to war against a tool, you go to war against those who use tools.

Can we please call a spade a spade and call this war what it is: the "war against Islamic terrorists?"

Cheese is good.

Cheese sometimes gives me that special cheese wind too.

"It annoys me"

How much more can a man take? The towers, the Pentagon, the field, our fallen military heroes, and now this. Thanks for your steadfastness.

I see your point. It’s like the (so-called) wars on poverty or drugs.
Or like a “gun-fight”: guns don’t fight. The people using them do and use guns as tools.

There are lame vanities and there are incomprehensible vanities. All in all it is better to be incomprehensible.

Unfortunately President Bush decided to push the "religion of peace" BS at the outset of military action. And thus was and continues to be unable to truly identify who the enemy is.

Declaring a war on terror is akin to FDR declaring a war on Aviation after Pearl Harbor.

You can't call it a "War Against Islamic Terrorists", as you are well aware, we wouldn't want to offend any Muslim Terrorists (sleepers or others) that live amongst us now would we?

Oddity: B. Hussein Obama said we are a " ...Muslim Nation....Hindu Nation...." among other types over the weekend. I couldn't believe it myself, what a disgusting excuse for an American he is and always will be.

Well, we did do a pretty good number on the Aviation of certain countries...
