Is the "War on Terror" just a joke?

Question

I can understand not being able to catch bin Laden in the mountains of Afghanistan/Pakistan but how did they take 7 years before they had a suspect in the world's first act of bioterrorist when the guy was working in a freakin' US government lab!!!

Answer 1

yes its a joke. just another way to get oil

Answer 2

a lot of it is. but what do you call hezbollah and hamas and al qaeda??? they are terrorist organizations, and need to be destroyed, no matter what. we haven't succeded yet because of bush and his brainwashing of the CIA. we will succeed when Obama is elected.

Answer 3

Did they ever get that guy Hitler and many n***s who fled Did we win WW2 ?

Answer 4

He worked for our President Bush! He was a Bush War Hero, we had to have his sacrifice. he helped us pass the Patriot Act and attack Iraq. He deserves recognition as an American PATRIOT.

Answer 5

Yes, it is a joke on the American people who believed that people with different color skin or who lived in different places than they did were bad people. When we look at a person claiming others are evil & terrorists we can be sure that the person is talking about themselves. People who have let this fear rule their lives instead of asking what the meaning of 911 really was for us & what was really going on & who chose to attack others instead of using intelligence have been used. Bid laden construction? Haliburton construction? McCain singing about bombing Iran. Contruction sometimes consists of decontruction or bombing. Could it be that they are all in this together & making money from constuction constracts they get from other governments besides the USA government. I know that is too much for most Americans to conphrehend just like the amount of money we war spending each month is way too much to comphrend but the atronomical amount of money that goes to help poor people or maintain bridges is too much for these tax payers. So insanity says we just keep doing the same thing & getting the same results.

Answer 6

Yep! Just like the 'War on Drugs' is a joke; the government allows the drugs in the country and deals them, too. The government stages acts of terrorism to gain more control over the people. Create the problem, then provide the "solution".

And it looks like, so far, that somehow the 'terrorists' are working it from the inside: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Answer 7

The war on terror is a joke in so many ways. First of all, it's not real. it's a cloak that the U.S. and Israel use for there self serving, political agendas. The biggest terrorist in the world today is America and Israel.

Answer 8

With white people, it's innocent until proven guilty.

Too bad he wasn't a brown guy from Syria, he'd have electrodes tied to his balls right now.

Answer 9

The War on Terror = A War OF Terror.

Answer 10

I don't get it, either.  You'd think it would have taken a shorter amount of time than that.  

But then again, they don't really want to "fight terror," do they?  They want to keep us scared so we'll do whatever they say and put up with whatever nonsense they throw at us.  And John McCain has gone that same way.

Answer 11

Actually, he was a suspect for alot longer than that, they just never had enough evidence to indict him until now. In fact, he may have actually been innocent for all we know, a colleague of his already won a lawsuit for harassment by the government.

But I actually can't understand why when we know Bin Laden is in Pakistan, we have yet to send any troops to Pakistan to apprehend him. The whole concept of changing the goal posts from eliminating Al-Qaeda to eliminating all terrorism around the world was just stupid and counterproductive in my opinion.
