#1 Funds transfers to PA discontinued? No. Then it's not war on terrorism.

#2 Clear out the no-go areas?

Cut off welfare benefits to the layabouts in the flophouses?

There's your problem, dickhead.

Money talks, bullshit walks, Manuel...

#3 I wonder what might be different today if France had joined the WOT 13 years ago.

#4 I remember words and flowery gestures after 9/11 by Euro leaders.

I also remember polling data of the populations of those same countries showing at best indifference but more often schadenfreude at the death and suffering of Americans.

I also remember that the same leaders who spoke the flowery words acted much more in accordance with the polling data when the rubber hit the road.

As long as there is funding for "oppressed" Muslims, and as long as they refuse to name Islam as a root cause of this horror and instead imply that Christianity is just as dangerous, and as long as politicians and bureaucrats and lobbyists care more about making money off of oil than they do about their culture, nation, and civilization, and as long as leftist leaders treat this as a law enforcement rather than military problem, then there will be no end to Islam-inspired death and mayhem, and the words and marching of the leaders is for nought.

When the NPR audience/education industry/cultural elite in the West engage in and enable displacement behavior whereby people who go to Church every Sunday and believe in traditional Christianity are portrayed as being more of an existential threat than people who shoot up cartoonists and decapitate journalists, all the words of of these politicians are for nought.

#5 Wonder what all the folks who mocked George W. Bush for his War On Terrorism are saying now?

W was a decade ahead of the cool kids.

#6 Declaring war on terror means nothing. War can be declared on terrorists but then who defines the terrorist. War be declared on islam.
