Costly misjudgments

The So-Called, “War On Terror” (SCWOT) is a hoax.

BushCo needs a catchy slogan to bedazzle the American public into more stupefied taxpaying for corporate welfare on behalf of weapons makers and defense contractors.

In addition, national mind control can proceed under the guise of, “Information Warfare” by the Pentagon and the intelligence services.

Obviously when, according to Susan Milligan of the Boston Globe,

President Bush prepared the nation yesterday for a “long struggle” against enemy forces in Iraq and around the world and said more US troops would be needed to confront the global terrorist threat,

he needs to be able to explain how the “long struggle” and “additional troops” will “confront” the “threat.”  The reporters aren’t asking the obvious question, which is, “How does more translate into better?”

The Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts clearly show that our leaders are not confronting the “threats” appropriately, but are squandering taxpayers’ money in a misguided blitzkrieg of runaway spending.

The more we spend and the more people we kill, the less “safe” we get and the more dangerous the “terrorists” become.

Obviously, another response to terrorism and sectarian violence is needed than terrorism and military intervention.  If we want peace instead of terrorism and war, we should be constructive instead of terrorizing and threatening.

Terrorism is a crime, not a causus belli.  What is also a crime is deceiving the American people about this distinction in order to keep them in fear and abjection, selling their grandchildren into economic slavery.
