Iraq Reviews > The War On Terror : Iraq News and Information

[Iraq News and Information] But that was not the end of the negative impacts of the war on terror, because president Bush and his administration engaged in two wars that would eventually cost the government three trillion American dollars and since a lot of it is allocated through taxation, people could not pay off their debt, mortgages, etc”¦ and with the rise of oil prices and the weakened US dollar the American economy has gone into a recession that could be considered stronger than the 1930’s. A lot of the American people, especially the educated, saw this coming an would criticize the American government for engaging in such an open-ended war, for example Timothy Garton Ash describe the war on terror in his article “The War on Terror is Over.” As an “abstract noun.” He also discussed the difference between this war previous ones that the USA engaged in by saying “It’s never been anything like the Second World War, against Hitler’s Germany, or the Cold War, against the Soviet Union.

[LewRockwell.com] Is the War Coming Home? by Patrick J. Buchanan: Looking at America's wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Maj. Hasan, Abdulmutallab and Shahzad decided that what we call the war on terror was in reality a war on Islam.

[War in Context] The terrorism recruiting myth ”” War in Context: Shahzad was also apparently inspired by the online rhetoric of Anwar al-Awlaki, a former preacher at a Northern Virginia mosque who gained international notoriety for blessing the suicide mission of the failed Christmas airplane bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallib, and for Facebook communications with Major Nadal Hasan, an American-born Muslim psychiatrist who killed thirteen fellow soldiers at Fort Hood in November 2009.

Just the same as we call Hizbollah a state-within-a-state, when the Taliban is administering law, distributing public resources, running the economy, and monopolizing violence, that's not a terrorist group, that's a government.

[Political Christian] The Bush-Obama War | Political Christian: in the Middle East, Obama has escalated that war.

[Pakistan Patriot] Friends not Masters | Pakistan Patriot: The armed forces of Pakistan are determined to crush each and every terrorist but they are never willing to hit those innocent people who are looking towards them for their safety and security. The US authorities can never understand this situation because they never had an experience of targeting their own people.Pakistan is facing the worst consequences of taking part in the US war against terror.

[The American Conservative] The American Conservative » Why the War Is Coming Home: I believe it was David Brooks on Meet the Press this Sunday who cited the Pakistani Taliban connection with the Times Square bomber wannabe as a reason for our waging war against the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Finally, a justification for waging war against an entity, the Taliban, that did not attack us on 9/11: the fact that they are retaliating for all the Taliban we are killing in their own countries.

Newshoggers.com: Once again, completely disregarding them using our policy for propaganda, we can focus on economic development, education, and free media in Afghanistan and Pakistan, all of which lead to huge gains in human rights, accountable and legitimate governance, integrated social fabric, etc. And of course, like the President is doing, the US should be pressuring the Pakistani military.

Have they had the perverse consequence of driving lesser insurgencies to think of targeting Times Square and American airliners, not just Kabul and Islamabad?

[Grim Squeakiness - The Blog Version] Grim Squeakiness - The Blog Version - Standing on my Soapbox: Working for ways to change that, and to remind those in the so-called first world of the gender gaps that still remain (including the fact that it SUCKS that men in America often have little or no opportunity for maternity leave to bond with their own newborn children), is very important to me, even if I don't often come right out and say it or blog about it or whatnot. Equally important to me is the idea of complicity.
