BUSH’S FAILED WAR ON TERROR
By Schuyler ThorpeAuthor and Political Activist
Personally, I don’t get tired of saying it: But you cannot defeat an ideology with military force.
You can knock terrorist groups down for a time, kill some of their followers and maybe–if you’re lucky–nab some of their leadership, but in the end–they always bounce back; stronger than ever.
When President Bush was asked about Al-Qaeda’s resurgence and phenomenal strength of numbers, the look on his face and body posture looked clear to me that he was about to throw up.
Why?
Because since 9-11, W has been telling us: “We’re winning the war on terror!” and “We have Osama on the run!” and “It’s just a matter of time before we catch him!”
So the reality of this latest report by some intelligence analysts really shocked Bush to the core.
After blowing billions of dollars, manpower, and military hardware trying to oust and defeat the Taliban–and letting Osama escape at Tora Bora–the stark reality of this “war on terror” has been made perfectly clear:
We haven’t won anything at all.
Because of Bush’s incompetence at Afghanistan, his brazen swaggering into Iraq to topple an impotent dictator–the last 5 years of war in Iraq was just the ambrosia that Osama needed to reconstitute, reconstruct, and literally remake his organization into an even more deadlier, more stronger, entity than ever before.
And this time…?
Killing off Al-Qaeda is going to be even more difficult to achieve than ever before. Even impossible.
All of this because Bush let his eyes off the ball for one split second in Afghanistan.
And do you what’s even more amusing about this whole thing?
Bill Clinton really can’t be blamed for Bush's failures! Because he wasn’t President on 9-11!
