Obama Admin: The War On Terror Is 'Over'
Big Peace ^ | 04-24-12 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 04/24/2012 12:11:07 AM PDT by Lazlo in PA

Today, the National Journal reported that a senior State Department official has announced, “The war on terror is over.”

“Now that we have killed most of al Qaida,” the source said, “now that people have come to see legitimate means of expression, people who once might have gone into al Qaida see an opportunity for a legitimate Islamism.”

The article itself describes the Obama administration’s new vision of foreign policy, which admits no enemies. Everyone, in this view, is a friend. Islamism, says the Obama administration, is just fine, so long as it does not openly support terrorism.

This, of course, is utter foolishness. Islamism is a religious ideological movement that brooks no real alternatives – so while the State Department proclaims “a legitimate Islamism,” it fails to acknowledge that Islamism, “legitimate” or not, is deeply intolerant of any other modes of expression. Not only that, but Islamism works hand-in-glove with terror groups around the world. Simply because a regime does not openly house al Qaida does not mean that the regime doesn’t support al Qaida; just because a regime pretends at democracy doesn’t mean that it has real democratic values.

Obama has created the brave new Middle East – a Middle East that assumes that every human heart has the desire to vote, but not to be truly free; a Middle East that oppresses women and gays and minorities, but pretends at liberalism; a Middle East that despises America but hides that hate behind a façade of multiculturalism, even as it disposes of its internal dissenters.

Probably true until after the election—don't expect the Islamonazis to hurt their buddy Obama’s chances for reelection by acting up so they, like the Communists, are laying low until the Dog Eater's second term when they can get and do what they want.

Who's John Little ?

The war ON terror is indeed over.
Actually, it never began.

Every one of these "War Ons .. "started, stayed and continues with some freedom being threatened or taken BY OUR GOVERNMENT .. against US, We the people, .. and never returned.
The alleged "threat" that prompted said "war" has never been eliminated.

What HAS happened is;
We've been cowwed into submission to a power purporting to be "on our side" but in fact has all along been the enemy of America and Americanism.

War on poverty?
What? Some 40 years old and the only thing made poorer is the tax payer ... the poor is doing quite well (Romney)

War on drugs? They're still everywhere and if my tin foil is on correctly, doing the mind numbing job that any dictatorial government could possibly desire. (Keep 'em doped with religion n' sex n' TV .. John Lennon)

War on terror?

I feel more afraid and intimidated now than ever ... OBAMA MAY BE RE-ELECTED !

See?

Scarey, ain't it, Doc ?

They’re going to get us nuked.

When that does happen, the only good news is that the main targets are Liberal/Democrat welfare plantations.

Our cities are long gone. Nuking, say, Detroit, would only improve things and fix the electoral demographic.

That’s one way of doing it. Simply “deem” that obama has won the war on terror. And 48% of the people in this country will believe it. Another 10% or so can be convinced that it’s true.

The WAR AGAINST Terror has just begun at home.

MR OBAMA,Stand down all of the invasive programs you have implimented against the citizens of the United States , Obama, and secure our borders. And leave the George Zimmermans alone, and leave our system of justice alone! NO POLITICAL SHOW TRIALS.

UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION!

The war against terror has just begun at home.

We weren’t in a ‘war on terror’ when 9/11 occurred.

“Obama Admin: The War On Terror Is ‘Over”

Someone needs to tell the terrorists that.

"The war on terror" may be.

The War on Terrorists being over is doubtful.

Would he like to borrow Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” banner?

This is one war that will never end. As soon as he thinks this is over and lets our guard down, they’ll hit again ... somewhere.

Undocumented Moslem Tyrant’s pro-Jihad pro-terrorist AG:
The War on Terror is over.
But NOT the War on Americans, Jews, and Christians.
Islam and your King rule you, now."
