Thread 5
Since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, our nation has fought a global war against violent extremists who use terrorism as their weapon of choice, and who seek to destroy our free way of life. Our enemies seek weapons of mass destruction and, if they are successful, will likely attempt to use them in their conflict with free people everywhere. Currently, the struggle is centered in Iraq and Afghanistan, but we will need to be prepared and arranged to successfully defend our nation and its interests around the globe for years to come. DOD
Our enemies include all the Muslims who dream of knocking Western Civilization off its perch atop humanity’s dung heap. Islam is fractured into any number of sects, tribes and ethnic groups, but the dream of destroying us cuts across all the fault lines. Islamic terrorists are merely the tip of a very large spear.
J. Peter Mulhern, the American Thinker, September 18
The determination behind that fight is real, the hatred is real, and the excuses for doing this are very real in the minds of those who have decided to walk that path. We can respond in two ways: Try to ignore or negotiate with people who do not want to negotiate in good faith, because what they want is our destruction, or to stand up against the darkness of those who see all of us, our way of life, our culture and our aspirations as something worth eliminating.
Either: "And God willing, with the force of God behind it, we shall soon experience a world without the United States and Zionism," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Or: "With vigilance, determination, courage, we will defeat the enemies of freedom, and we will leave behind a more peaceful world for our children and our grandchildren." GW Bush.

Okay, now let’s see if we can find out what’s going on out there :)
“our nation has fought a global war against violent extremists”
I have been told that the “war on terror” is just a “bumper sticker” and a slogan of the Bush administration.
Now, isn’t that just special??/

Our 4th anniversary.
” Things are not going in the right direction here. “
Definitely in the running for ‘Understatement of the Year’....
Make that 5th anniversary.
I want on the list. BTW, I can remember being at my kid’s soccer game after 9-11 and telling another mom it would probably take 5 years to fight this war.........guess I was off on my estimate.
I shall put you on the list.
I think it is a 10 year endeavor, minimum.
Thank you, and you are probably right.
