Debate: Are we winning "The War On Terror"?

[Rooster]

And no matter what your answer, yes or no...

Could you please give examples of what you see happening, or that has happened, to make you arrive at that decision?

Thanks in advance...

No. Goodness gobldegook, no. In fact, we're probably creating more terrorists on a daily/hourly basis. It's no wonder these terrorists organizations don't have trouble recruiting people for their cause. This isn't about bombing potential terrorists with drone attacks or sending troops to the front lines to reign bullets upon the enemy. Terrorism is everywhere, and it's hard to get rid of with war. It's not just one country. It's not just one kind of people. The way our country is going about trying to eradicate it is laughable.

Yes...depending on what one means when they say "we". "We" has in the U.S. declared War on Terrorism? No. The United Nations' War Against Terrorism? No.

But, "we" as in the world? Yes. Just Friday, the Taliban itself denounced the latest ISIS move.

As ISIS gets more and more outrageous - and as more militant groups get even more outrageous than them - they will eventually be cut off from the rest of the world, as more and more world powers - good and evil - unite to stop them.

Here's video of ISIS destroying ancient relics and ruins in Iraq; this is world history being destroyed:

Hilarious! Taliban and ISIS claiming Jihad against one another. Maybe we won't have to fight this war after all.

Meh. Whoever wins that fight will turn on us eventually.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Not even close. We could have won it by now for at least one or two generations to enjoy it. But to long ago the progressives and leftists in America have controlled how a military fights a war in the world of politics. We need to give the control back to the military who know how to win wars and bring the enemy to there knees and beg for peace. Instead we have politicians running wars with political correctness and have created police who are peace keepers instead of soldiers who are warriors trained to kill and win wars.

No. not at all. It is getting worse.
Even the migrants leaving their shit countries to take refuge status in Europe are bringing their hate with them.
A migrant boat heading to Italy, the Muslims threw the Christians overboard killing 12 of them

We are losing and badly, the politicians have no idea how to beat terrorism, as far as i know the only time the military has ever won a decisive victory against a terror organisation was the British in Borneo as it was know then, but I don't think the tactics used will work anymore thanks to the better communication we now enjoy.
You have to take away the reasons why people become attracted to the terrorist's ideals, so reduce poverty and social injustice around the poorest countries in the world and terrorism will decline, as people become more prosperous they have less inclination and time to want to fight for a cause.

Are we winning "The War On Terror"?

That is the funniest question I think I've ever seen as a thread title.

You have GOT to be kidding.

We have ranking politicians who refuse to call a terrorist a terrorist and label their acts as "workplace violence".

Come on.

If you don't buy the next round of drinks and play "freebird" on the juke box, the terrorists win.

Perhaps this is the most stupidest idea ever......but if the moslems are so intent on having their bonkers extreme state - perhaps we should just let them.
And maybe try something even dafter and try actually talking to these people.
Perhaps negotiate a line in the sand where we can say "You stay your side of this line and you leave surrounding countries alone, and we'll stay our side of the line and leave you alone.
And then we encourage all our resident nutters to emigrate to the new-found paradise.

Way to lump all Muslims together, genius. You are quite part of the problem.

Excuse me while I cue up a song:

Won't work. We have a entire region of hundreds of millions of people who are enslaving hundreds of millions of women like cattle and desperately believe the rest of the women on this planet should also be enslaved. Hundreds of millions of radicals who believe in Sharia law and under Sharia law a majority of Muslims would see gays and atheists killed. Christians either become Muslims or pay a tax or be killed also. Muslims are already radicalized throughout Europe it is way to late to negotiate a line in the sand.

But let me show these statistics once again showing just how much even the peaceful ones hate gays, support controlling women and want sharia enacted.

Good idea on the face of it but you only have to look at what is actually happening around the world to see that they will always want to control the whole of the world if they could, the only thing to stop them is the military, they don't want to reason with anyone they just think their way is the only way if you don't agree then you die.

Strange bedfellows being made and interesting fallout from the War on Terrorism: suddenly, ultra-conservatives are screaming from the rooftops in defense of women's rights and for the preservation of gays.

*Odd*.

?!? The uber-conservatives have been fighting for women's equality and for gays since this nation was created, and it's us rat-commie bastards of libtards that have been preventing it from happening?

Oh, stop. Now, you're just making shit up hoping it'll stick.




By the way, those who really were just born yesterday will be too young TO vote in the 2016 Presidential election, so creating a revisionist history that suddenly includes being The Party That Has Always Welcomed Women and Gays is a little too soon to have any effect on increasing your voting numbers. Jus' sayin'.

Just because you don't think gay people should be allowed to marry dose not mean you want to see them stoned to death, just saying.

 

[mrldii]

Guaranteed 100% of the people in America who would stone-to-death (or use some other method to kill) a gay person also believe gays should not marry.

Guaranteed 0% of the people in America who believe that gays should have the right to marry would kill someone just for being gay.




I find it odd that uber-conservatives are suddenly sticking up for women and gays - and the fair treatment OF them - when presented with how "'Those People' - who are not at all like US - treat their women and gays."


Oh, and by "odd", I mean "extremely, uberly, and publicly hypocritical."

Well yah! And no making up anything in the least. And it is the politicians who implement the destructive policies I call those names you mentioned above not the every day Americans who are free to believe such things and free to practice those things they believe without involving me in them.
