Nope – No War On Terror Here
While those in the administration are no longer using the phrase “War on Terror”, instead calling it the “Overseas Contingency Operation”, let’s take a look at what the commander of the Pakistani Taliban has to say…
The commander of the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility Tuesday for a deadly assault on a Pakistani police academy and said the group was planning a terrorist attack on the U.S. capital.
Baitullah Mehsud, who has a $5 million bounty on his head from the U.S., said Monday’s attack outside the eastern city of Lahore was in retaliation for U.S. missile strikes against militants along the Afghan border.
“Soon we will launch an attack in Washington that will amaze everyone in the world,” Mehsud told The Associated Press by phone. He provided no details.
“At this time, I will not give any detail,” Mehsud said.
The Pakistani Taliban leader also said he was not deterred by the U.S. bounty on his head.
“I wish to die and embrace martyrdom,” he said.
Do they really think by giving the WAR ON TERROR a nice fuzzy name, the terrorism will stop? All that will do, in my opinion, is let the TERRORISTS know that this country is getting soft.
I gotta tell you, with these PC nuts in charge, I fear for our future. When will the powers that be get their heads out of their collective a$$es and realize that there is NO negotiating with people who, quite simply, want us dead?
