I object to the use of the term. It makes about as much sense as a “war on caution” or a “war on diplomacy”, which, now that I think of it, seems to be what the White House is all about.
You can’t have a war on a tactic. This isn’t a war. We are not a nation at war. This is a giant money laundering operation that was planned and begun before 9/11 and has been made easier because one millionaire crackpot with a dozen followers got lucky with a single attack. This is about draining the treasury while hiding behind the voluminous robes of religion. These are not conservatives, they are well organized radical propagandists brutally focused and synchronized in their mass media tuned message delivery. They do not govern, they waste our time with pointless non-binding resolutions nobody cares about, fiddling while real problems are ignored because they are hard and will cost money that they are already channeling into their own pockets. Meanwhile they foment the terror they claim to be fighting because they have wacked a beehive that would have been better left alone.
The entrenched Democrats are no better, but they are at least disorganized and more money will likely remain in government working for the taxpayers, simply because they haven’t figured out how to drain it as efficiently as war profiteers do. Given proper pressure, they might even spend the money on something good – like universal health care and education – something that could have been done for a fraction of the cost of the Iraq war.
