Hirsh opinion on War on Terror

Michael Hirsh has a great opinion article, recommending that Obama end the nebulous War On Terror, & instead pursue a specific war on Al Qaeda.

Amen brotha! The last so few years I get so frustrated how most Americans have fallen for WOAT Bush's WOT rhetoric, conflating Iraq on Al Qaeda. A nebulous War On Terror may never end. OTOH a specific war to capture/kill Al Qaeda top leaders like Bin Laden, as well as accounting for dangerous nuclear & biological material in the form USSR countries, IS a necessary, appropriate, definable, & doable job.

Obama has the charisma to explain this concept to the American sheeple who have been mislead by the WOT rhetoric.

Thanks for pointing out this article.... Hirsh is so right.

McCain would keep us embroiled in a losing "war on terror" against the boogiemen he sees everywhere in the Middle East. His presidency would be a disaster.

Obama can set a new tone and refocus our military efforts on the real Al Qaeda culprits.
