According to Sir Ken MacDonald, no. Full article: http://politics.guardian.co.uk/terrorism/story/0,,1997247,00.html
God, I love my country. Why can't all you fuckers be as sensible as us? Now we just need a Prime Minister who isn't too scared to say boo to the President. Soon come, hopefully.
Yet, the apparatus that spawned such men remains, and they do indeed consider it a war. Why is a "war on terror" a fouled concept, necessarily?
Let's not make light of this. She was a supremely evil old bitch, a monster, an abomination. I'd pay good money to see her cold, dead corpse butt-raped by the Devil himself.
Can you explain? Is there no war on terror because Bush is focusing all his energy on Iraq instead of terrorist organizations? Am I misunderstanding how there is no war on terror? And what are you getting at? Yeah, I hope so too. Do you think it'll be a Labour, a Conservative, or a Lib Dem?
Dear Geoff, i hope all is well. So true you are here, , so the last 5 years or so and the deaths of many inncoent people have been in vein. The question is then why are we not doing anything about dismantling the apparatus, even though Bush and CO know where the heart of this dispicable ideology lies. It appears that their easy options and quick wins have even back fired on them!!! So perhaps they should have gone straight to the real problem here, the KSA. Why no, why not, why not!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Take care zak
Dear Zakariya, Welcome back to SciForums! I hope you were okay. Did you forget about us? I'm not sure why the machine hasn't been dismantled. I sure would love to see that happen. But if it doesn't, well... at least we only have two more years to have to live through! ----- Take care, Wulf
Reality. There is no war on terror. You, the American public, are being conned into thinking there is. The word 'war' has a specific meaning - and the mere act of labelling something a 'war' doesn't make it into one. Your government is in the business of finding and eliminating specific, highly elusive individuals who are plotting against you. My government too. This is enough in itself without the hysterical and transparent vote-winning propaganda. Labour, and probably Gordon Brown as PM. He isn't so enamoured with America as Blair and will probably - I hope - put some distance in the relationship. Personally I wish he'd ditch it altogether but right now that's mere fantasy.
