Obama wants to close GITMO and end the "War on Terror"

[lucky4034]

How is terrorism defined by politics?

Simple...

Terrorism = Use of terror
Terrorist = Someone inflicting terror

These terms existed before 9/11.......


@on topic... Should I be surprised that no one here doesn't want to see the War on Terror stopped now? Seems the consensus is that we should continue to meddle in foreign affairs with the goal of preventing terrorist attacks in the US?

Not sure I agree that makes sense....

Not sure I care what you think. You've made fairly clear whose side you're on.

Yes, if you don't want to keep dumping money down the bottomless hole labeled "war on terror" you are a terrorist yourself.

Nice strawman; careful he doesn't catch fire.

And yet you took the time to quote me

Well played....

Here... let me redifine the words so you and I can be friends

Terrorism = Commandments of Islam
Terrorist = Muslim

.... How does that suit you?

War on terror? Hardly! From the beginning it's been a war on FREEDOM! The terrorists remain undeterred and the freedoms of Americans are in the trash can daily.

QFT!

The War on Terrorism is no more winnable than the "War on drugs". Both are used to take our Liberties.

Ok, so Fort Hood shooter... not a terrorist?

Yes....totally. He was in the military with access. Forgot about that piece of human debris.
This is a can of worms by definition.

 

[churchmouse]

Nope, can't say that wasn't terrorism. "Soft targets" - they were in an area where they were forbidden to be armed on a Post where they were forbidden to be armed. Hasan knew he was safe in attacking them. Terrorist act.

And this^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Nice strawman; careful he doesn't catch fire.

Not according to my personal definition of strawman.

And some other guy I know agrees, so I win.

Hah! You're welcome to your own definition of "strawman." And I'll bet you can't produce the other guy who supposedly agrees with you, even if I cared.

 

[Stickfight]

Sure I can, hang on a sec.

 

[stickfight']

I agree with everything Stickfight says, his word is bond.

And yes, we've agreed that 'strawman' in the context of logical fallacies, means "Great point Stickfight, you are right and I concede. Also I'm a terrorist."

it's about to get real up in here

I am not sure of the others but I see what you did there................

Sure you care... or you wouldn't be in this thread quoting him and asking him to produce the other guy

 

[Stickfight]

Really, we shouldn't be arguing with terrorists.

You're outnumbered by one shill account Blackhawk.

D'ya think anyone noticed?

 

[Stickfight]

The zero tolerance policy did. Good thing I didn't also have a drawing of a gun or I'd have to find new friends to play with. Stickfight' has to be put away.
