Eric Tillberg, writer on Policy Mic says The War On Terror is Over, and the Terrorists Won.
After the first two shots of the War on Terror on September 11, 2001, the first major battle of the war occurred, and was lost, on October 26, 2001. This was the day the PATRIOT Act was signed into law by President Bush.Pakistan and US Drone Policy
Terrorists, by killing 3,000 people in a spectacular fashion, goaded the United States into compromising its values and betraying its citizens.
As a followup, the terrorists won another victory with the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security on November 25, 2002. This department gives a much more menacing facade to the federal government and proved to be the moment when American citizens got the idea that they were viewed as the enemy by their own government.
Defeats continued with the establishment of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), representing an increase in funding for an already bloated (and misnamed) Department of Defense. By this point, the American idea was on life support with little hope of reversal. The final blow that rang the bell of defeat for our nation was PRISM. Although PRISM began in 2007, we have only recently learned of its existence thanks to Edward Snowden.
The defeat of America in the War on Terror provides an excellent explanation for the resurgence of libertarian politics at home. It is a natural reaction, when one no longer trusts the government, to demand the right to keep and use arms and to demand that the government extract itself from most if not all aspects of our lives.
We don't only have to look internally to see that the terrorists have won. Al-Qaeda has not gone away and has not been obliterated. In this grand game of whack-a-mole, the moles see our weakening resolve to preserve ourselves and are encouraged by it. The passage of these laws must be seen as propagandistic victories to the terrorists and undoubtedly help in their recruitment. We must rediscover the American idea and begin living by it once again. This would be the best way to turn the tide on the War on Terror.
Roughly three-in-four Pakistanis (74%) consider the U.S. an enemy, up from 69% last year and 64% three years ago. And President Obama is held in exceedingly low regard. Indeed, among the 15 nations surveyed in both 2008 and 2012 by the Pew Global Attitudes Project, Pakistan is the only country where ratings for Obama are no better than the ratings President George W. Bush received during his final year in office.Pakistani Views of US, Obama
Moreover, roughly four-in-ten believe that American economic and military aid is actually having a negative impact on their country, while only about one-in-ten think the impact is positive.
Only 17% back American drone strikes against leaders of extremist groups, even if they are conducted in conjunction with the Pakistani government.
Of they have.
THEIR AGENT (Obama) runs the US as an Impostor,
and the Congress and MSM could not care less.
THEIR AGENT (Huma) works in the StateDept to
transfer MANPADs, SAMs, and WMD to them,
and the Congress and MSM could not care less.
The Pentagon bows down and SERVES them
after they bombed the Pentagon - even though
the American people are FURIOUS,
and the Congress and MSM could not care less.
That's kind of goofy way of looking at it. I didn't know the measure of your victory was how the home of your enemy views you.
that’s ok. a very high percentage of Americans see Americans as the enemy. I’d guess 80%.
of course, which Americans is the trick. 0bama and the progressives see anyone on the right as the enemy ... and those of us on the right see them as the enemy. which leaves 10-20% sitting in the middle
I would be all for evacuating Christians from Pakistan, then turning that landmass to glass. What a worthless horde of subhumans...
So we should stop giving our “ally” billions of dollars.
Well Yeah! Their Muslim. Until we go full sharia we are their enemy. Time to wake up to what the Muslim world really is about.
We should probably give Obama another Nobel Peace Prize.
> The rest of the title is: 60% Have No Confidence in Obama
The only reason the number isn’t higher is because they don’t live here. If they did, ii would be in the 90’s
Absolutely.
Most of them are far more educated than the subhumans we are currently drowning in.
So we should stop giving our ally billions of dollars.
To say the least!
But, look... most of them wouldn’t have voted for Obama.

I couldn’t care less what the Paki’s think.
We lost the so-called war on terror when it was turned on us. Remember to show Your Papers, Please.
Our lives are manipulated by fear ... which is a play on terror.
Entrepreneurship is way down because people are afraid (or foresighted enough) to get involved with more than what a profit margin would allow.
People go to the airport expecting humiliation, getting it and not talking about it afterwards .... good sheeple.
The internet and cel industry is chock FULL of surveillance and people don't care 'cause THEY ain't doin' nuthin' wrong ... which makes this even more apropos;
'Trouble is ... the surveilers are equally zombatic.
Yep! If we could find a set, maybe we could start acting like Americans instead of braying sheep. Amazing how 9-11 SCARED THE BACKBONE out of us. OH, save me, protect me, I’m so scared of the big, bad terrorist I will cower in a corner until the big goverment protector will tell me it is safe to live free again.
As long as it is possible for one terrorist to set off a cooking pot somewhere, all of America shall sit in the corner in a time out.
