The "war on terror" is not ambiguous. It is against active jihadists. These jihadists share the same desire as the majority of Muslims which is sharia. It is a phony war because of a prevailing sensibility within the West, which you apparently share, that most Muslims do not share the same goal as the jihadists. They do, they differ in method.

@cohenite, please don't address anything to me, unless you can refrain from your ad hominem. I made a general comment containing no aggression and your first discourse with me showed only immature aggression, as have many posters. You don't know what I believe about anything, other than the ambiguity of declaring a "war on terror", so that it can be used against any group or individual. I don't waste my time with those that put words in my mouth or use such a puerile manner. Calm down or grow up...whichever shoe fits, wear it.

Thanks, Cohenite, for some sanity.

Dick,

of course, we all know that a 'war against terrorism' these days means against jihadis, or those of the Caliphati*, those who -precisely - do NOT have a particular country to subvert and conquer, since they intend - by sword or AK-47 - to take over the world, you and me included, to convert or exterminate all of us, those who are still left after the car-bombings, that is.

That's total ideology - whereby its adherents fervently believe that their duty is to conquer the world, oppose Western principles especially education, especially for girls, to eliminate governments and impose an Allah-driven one-world rule by shari'a, and bring down paradise onto Earth.

If a few billion get killed in the process, it's just Allah's will. And as long as they have useful idiots like John Pilger, they will have supporters for their vile, and reactionary, message.

So John Pilger is squaring the circle, supporting Putin one minute, and Islamist reactionaries the next ? I was wondering by whom, and how, that trick could be done. Now to be fully inclusive: how to also include the European Far Right ? That's Pilger for you, he'll manage it :)

Oh well, as long as it's not the US.

* Thanks to my mate Frank Pledge for this brilliant and most appropriate term.

Cohenite the war on terror is a fabrication. http://www.ae911truth.org/ I 've met these people Prof Steven Jones ,Richard Gage their founder, Prof Neils Harritt our own Dr Frank Legge. There is no way that 3 buildings on 911 came down at near freefall speeds without controlled demolition.

http://patriotsquestion911.com/ Here you will 1000,s of professionals from the Military, NASA, Politicians, Pilots, media people and actors who do not believe the official story.

Russia and China do not want war since they can win the peace with sound economic policies. Russia and China are about to announce that their currencies will be backed by gold. The BRICS nations are growing. They've had enough of US/British Imperialism.

@Arjay anymore conspiracy thoeries? BRIC should read BIC..... and they are now competing with MINT, Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey.....

Andras Smith, I deal in conspiracy fact. The elites have conspired for centuries. What do you think the Shakesear plays were all about?
Those who can create money from nothing have all the time and power on the planet to conspire for total power.

On this site http://www.patriotsquestion911.com/ you will see Lt Col. Robert Bowman what initiated this site. He was in charge of Advanced Space Programs at NASA with PHD's in nuclear physics and aeronautics in addition to teaching mathematics. Robert Bowman died last year and visited Australia in 2008 to alert us to this rising fascism.

Do you know who used to be on this site? General Martin Dempsey. He is the current head of the Joint Chiefs of staff for the US Military.

So don't give me the tin foil hat label of lies and deception that covers up this fascism.http://www.globalresearch.ca/

I suggest you do some serious research since your ilk have not much time left to enjoy freedom.
