Obama Scraps "Global War on Terror"

In a memo sent this week from the Defense Department's office of security to Pentagon staffers, members were told that the administration prefers not to use the terms “Long War” or “Global War on Terror (GWOT) and to please use “Overseas Contingency Operation.” If no one has noticed this new phrase has been used a few times already when talking about the wars in Iraq and AfghanistanWhat the hell is this about? Aren’t we fighting terrorists around the globe? I tell you these liberals are something else.

They want everything sugarcoated so the public views it differently. It’s like the gas. When gas was almost $4 a gallon, everyone was upset. When it dropped to $3.20, everyone was happy. But what they don’t see is the fact that before the gas rose to $4 a gallon, it was at $2-something. At that point we are satisfied with a $0.40 drop, but we were still over a dollar away from were we used to be. That’s how our minds work. The same way it will be with the two wars. I don’t think it is right to drop the word “Terror” from our wars. That is our enemy !! That is what we are trying to keep out of our country.
