What War?

It occurred to me the other day that all of the proclamations from the Big Giant Head Cheese about how we are in a "war on terror" are starting to ring false, if they ever rang true. If his war on terror is that fiasco in Iraq, it's all of his own making. He gave up on the real war in Afghanistan years ago, and that's where the terrorists were.

So what is this war on terror of which he speaks? It seems like a pretext so that he can do anything he damn well pleases. I'm not the only one who is starting to think so. Political Animal Kevin Drum writes about the subject of wartime over at Washington Monthly.
