Winning the "War on Terror"

As David Cross said, "It's like having a War on Jealousy- you're not going to win."

It didn't go over my head, you smug cunt, I just didn't feel the need to address it since it's the same line of garbage that's been repeated ad nauseum by the left since the "War on Terror" began.

Now before any War Hawks jump in and rattle off statistics showing how many senior Al-Qaeda officials we've caught or killed, etc., think of that monster from Greek mythology- the one who, once its head is chopped off, sprouts seven more heads- yes, Joan Rivers.

Of course we have to discard those statistics. Otherwise your assertion that the war has been an "utter failure" would seem less credible.

You're never going to get them all, and our present course of action is only going to make things worse. I'm sure I could use Israel and Palestine as a solid example, but we all know that would just be pinko-commie-america-hatin'-fag talk.

So.. what? What would your solution be, exactly? Ignore it? If you can't win permanently don't bother at all? The Clinton administration practically ignored terrorism for 8 years and we still had 9/11.
