Special Ops and the "War" on Terror
Of all the things about the president’s war on terrorism that can be
criticized, the biggest is the notion that it deserves to be called a
"war." But Bush and Cheney insist that it is a war, and they want to
boost the Special Forces and the new Special Operations Command to
fight it. However, a new report from the GAO notes that the
administration hardly has any idea what the new, gung-ho Special Ops
people might do.
What exactly are these guys going to do? Invade the suburbs of London?
Attack mosques in Germany? Goosestep down streets in Amsterdam to
intimidate radical Muslims there? I mean, the so-called War on
Terrorism doesn’t need a bunch of hoo-ah types. Last time I checked,
it was these heavy-handed displays of muscle that were making things
worse, not better, from Afghanistan to Iraq.
While American infrastructure crumbles, no one wants to buy what this
country makes (except weapons) and manyvictims of Katrina are still
homeless and without basic services, all of your tax dollars are going
for war without end.
Doesn't that make you feel more safe and secure?
Didn't think so.

If the specials ops are doing their job right they usually don't
get noticed. They often insert at night, sometimes jumping with
parachutes and free-falling 2 miles at 120 miles per hour to
reach their target. I'm sure the target could be Afghanistan or
London.

I just don't want the guys in black suits showing up at MY door.
Didn't think so.
