The underground war on the truth in this country is now all above ground as the media and the Marxists that were hidden in our government, and else where, are forging ahead with their agenda to crush freedom. As if changing the wording of the war on terror will some how change the out come is beyond the pale, but as we all know now, the American people will believe just about anything Obama says.
Even when it's too late, they will still believe -
This article might be a joke, but then everyone thought Obama was 'centrist' during the campaign to. No one is laughing now, are they, except Obama and his thug Friends from the swamps of Chicago and the media. They played their followers for fools and won.
Now we all pay the price for ignorance and complacency. Who knew? hmmmm
Keep the faith -
The End of the Global War on Terror
Updated 4:58 p.m. 3/24/09By Al Kamen
The end of the Global War on Terror -- or at least the use of that phrase -- has been codified at the Pentagon. Reports that the phrase was being retired have been circulating for some time amongst senior administration officials, and this morning speechwriters and other staff were notified via this e-mail to use "Overseas Contingency Operation" instead. "
Recently, in a LtGen [John] Bergman, USMC, statement for the 25 March [congressional] hearing, OMB required that the following change be made before going to the Hill," Dave Riedel, of the Office of Security Review, wrote in an e-mail. "OMB says: 'This Administration prefers to avoid using the term "Long War" or "Global War on Terror" [GWOT]. Please use "Overseas Contingency Operation.'"Riedel asked recipients to "Please pass on to your speech writers and try to catch this change before the statements make it to OMB."
An OMB spokesman took issue with the interpretation of OMB's wishes. "There was no memo, no guidance," said Kenneth Baer. "This is the opinion of a career civil servant."
Referring to the phrase "global war on terror," Baer said, "I have no reason to believe that would be stricken" from Hill testimony.
By way of history, senior Bush administration officials several years ago wanted to stop using the phrase and switch to something many felt might better reflect the realities of the fight against international terrorism.
One leading option was to change the name to GSAVE, or Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism. This was not as catchy an acronym as GWOT, but officials felt it more accurately described the battle.Then-Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld even used the GSAVE abbreviation publicly.
But, in a White House meeting, President Bush ruled that it was still a war for him, and Rumsfeld and everyone else went back to GWOT.
