It is a fraud to say we are at war. When you are at war it is with a country. Germany, Russia, Spain. Military men in military uniforms trying to kill each other with the standard issue rifles and bombs. Terrorist's work on a different timetable. Catch Americans or allies and chop off their respective heads. No uniform of their country as they have none. Just Allah. IED's to me are a little more radical that water boarding. When you are water boarded you cannot die and you know that from the outset. It is how long you can last feeling uncomfortable without talking. On the other hand capture by the terrorist gets you a 10 speech read and a saber sawing off your head. That you can die from. Let's put the running of wars in the hands of the rightful owners the Pentagon and the Military and stop making America look foolish in airing out our dirty laundry as it were. Lastly, stop bowing to Kings and shaking hands and yucking it up with dictators that have already trashed America.
