Easiest Way to End a War? Say It's Over.

Secretary of State Clinton as taken the liberty of discontinuing the term "war on terror", according to this AP article via Fox News. Evidently those words make it sound too much like we are in a war (???). I am not an advocate of government's use of fear tactics, but on the other hand, to sweep a war with radical killers under the rug is just irresponsible.

As an aside, look at the first minute of Bill O'Reilly's September interview with President Obama. You will here him say that we are "absolutely" engaged in a war on terror. Has our new Administration really been able to end this war in its first three months? Assuming the answer is "no", is it too much to ask for a shred of consistency? We are either at war or not. According to Sec. Clinton, she has not received any orders to cease the use of the term "war on terror". If that is indeed the case, President Obama needs to keep a leash on his Administration to make sure they are all on the same page and conveying the same messages to the American people.
