MIRROR DECLARES 'THIS WAR IS A FRAUD'

The tide of international media opinion is dramatically turning against the US-led War on Terrorism if Monday headlines in London prove any indication.

"THIS WAR IS A FRAUD" splashes the MIRROR [circulation 2,149,422] in large font on Page One.

"The war against terrorism is a fraud. After three weeks' bombing, not a single terrorist implicated in the attacks on America has been caught or killed in Afghanistan," rips the paper.

'CRITICS OF WAR TACTICS TURN UP THE HEAT ON US" leads the FINANCIAL TIMES.

"BLOODY SUNDAY PROVES A TEST FOR US RESOLVE" headlines the INDEPENDENT. "The US government insisted yesterday that its Afghan campaign was going according to plan, despite repeated bombing errors including the killing of seven children as they ate breakfast at home in Kabul."

"BOMBING MAY STOP FOR RAMADAN AS SUPPORT FOR WAR FALTERS" fronts the DAILY TELEGRAPH.

Murdoch's TIMES jabs "a 'three-week wobble' over the direction of the conflict."

How VERY true.

When we started this war it seemed the objective was clear, our advantage was superior, the mission could be easily accomplished.

Despite his propensity for being a total fuckup, I thought even Dubya could handle it and maybe even improve his image. But inevitably, it seems he is incapable of being anything but pathetic, somehow managing to turn this crusade into just yet another embarrasing fiasco.

"Want to tell me how "brains" will get bin loser out of his cave?"

Just the fact that you even ask such a question indicates that you don't even have enough brains to achieve the desired result. Congratulations, you're right there in the same leaque with Dumbya.

First of all, what evidence do you have that he is in a cave, or even in Afghanistan? Because the Taliban, (the enemy), told you so? Bwaaahahaha!!

It's going to require intelligence, persistence, and patience to protect our country from terrorists. But at the very least, it should have been obvious from the beginning that pounding sand halfway around the world would accomplish little, since the immediate threat resides right here within our very own country. Duuuh. It took a few weeks and a few hundred billion dollars, but maybe now that is finally starting to sink in.

Isnt it always like a filthy Liberal to put down someone who makes a valid point. I dont see YOU calling up the Military and telling them where he is Mr Rocket Scientist.

When you can anwser that guys post THEN post something instead of talking about "long drawn out thinking on our palm pilots" You people are a joke.

hehe always the same old shit. Liberals get ONE news story and try to run with it like morons. Who gives a fuck what the UK Rags say. They are the same UK rags that show pics of naked women next to news stories.. Not a very credible source.

Stop bashing W and have the guts to see this out. If you have any guts left.

It certianly is, much like the one in Yugoslavia and the one in Iraq and probably a few more I didn't name. The real perps will never be known because our government isn't after them.

" We may NEVER catch Bin Laden"

-- Donald Rumsfeld (contemplating@mynavel.com), October 28, 2001.

For those of you too mentally challenged to figure out what should be obvious to any garden variety idiot, here's a little help:

1) Bin Laden will never be captured or killed by the US, so get used to it. 2) The Taliban may go some day, but not because of any US actions, and whoever replaces them will be just like them, so get used to it. 3) Any US forces put on the ground in Afghanistan will succeed only in dying there, so get used to it. 4) The war on terror is totally unwinnable, so get used to it. 5) Your personal liberties here are being stripped bare more with each passing day, and soon you will have none, so get used to it. 6) This is the way the world is going to be this millenium, and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it, so get used to it. 7) Americans are pathetic crybabies, nobody else in this world gives a fuck about you or this country, so get used to it. 8) Six thousand deaths is nothing in this world, nothing, get over it.

Hope this helps.
