CE: Ghost War Prt II

I retract my previous sentiment: the ghost war is unwinnable. I believe the Ghost war against Terror is largely set up to fail because of it’s vagueness and lack of direction, however with the White House’s new look into al-Qaeda, post Osama Bin Laden-assasitnation, I believe we can close this chapter of history on top. Let me elaborate- We have no direction, no means to an end in the War On Terror. I am disheartened, pained, to know of the American casualties fighting for an unsecured Democracy in the Middle East, that despite most efforts, will probably always be fill to the brim with corruption and may even collapse once the US leaves. Let’s cut our losses in the Middle East and retract to America. Let’s fight the remainder of this war with intelligence. We should aim to root out al-Qaeda and seek its complete demise. We cannot kill terrorism, but we can disband and disarm these terrorists that have wounded America and scarred it forever. So, this Ghost War may finally have some substantiality to it, but we first need to take a look at how we define terror. After all, there’s only so long we can hunt vapor.
