House Committee Banishes the Global War on Terror

The use of the use of the term, "Global War on Terror" is a “catch phrase” to be avoided the House Armed Services Committee has decided. In future, the committee has decided that the use of more specific terminology with respect to operations against terrorists is to be used, according to an unidentified Democrat aide to the committee. The Drudge Report links to a report posted yesterday on MilitaryTimes to recount the story.

According to the report, aides to the committee who wished to remain anonymous stated that one of the reasons for the decision was that it "has a political element involving a disagreement over whether the war in Iraq is part of the effort to combat terrorism or is actually a distraction from fighting terrorists."

This would help the Democrats in their effort to denounce the war in Iraq and claim that we are not fighting terrorists but are merely seeing the effects of a civil war in that country. The Democrats can help prop up one of their talking points about Iraq by claiming that we ignited a civil war by invading Iraq in the first place.

Never mind that Saddam DID have WMD's and had terrorists sheltered in Iraq under his murderous regime. The Democrat position on this war is that there are no terrorists in Iraq and there is no need for us to be there at all.

The talking points of the Democrats have been carefully crafted by people who are totally committed to our defeat in Iraq and in the Global War on Terror with the aim that they can capture the White House in 2008. They are so maniacally obsessed with that goal that they will without hesitation sacrifice the safety of the nation, its citizens and its armed forces to achieve that aim. The Democrats will stop at nothing to gain the White House in '08. A resounding defeat or retreat for the United States in a time of war is what they want. If the United States wins against terrorists they stand little chance of winning a Presidential election in 2008 and posing as the great Saviors of the nation. Their insatiable thirst for power has corrupted them mind body and soul.
