Hey George! How goes the war?
Edited on Mon Apr-25-05 05:34 AM by spindoctor
According to the numbers, we are losing the war on terrorism.

Propaganda aside, the Administration's claim that we (they) are winning the war on terror is not supported by the facts.
Last year, the State Department reluctantly published its yearly "Patterns of Global Terrorism" report that showed terrorism was up with 175 incidents in 2003.
This year, under Condi's inspiring guidance, the State Department has announced it will no longer publish the report that it faithfully produced for the past two decades.
This wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that 2004 showed no less than 625 significant terrorist incidents now, would it?

Yes folks, terrorism is at an all time high. Our little war is going south.

1. So they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams
the war on terror is not meant to get rid of terrorism but to terrify Americans

More acts of terrorism cause us to be more terrorized

Mission complete

2. Let me add
don't gloat--or think that this somehow helps us--they are totally successful at their intent (which is not to decrease terrorism)
