Immediately after 9/11 and with an alacrity that would have pleased Hitler, the feckless US Congress gave away its war-making power to the Executive. Public Law 107-40 (aka AUMF - the most bland of titles) was the result. This law is still on the books, no matter how hard people ignore it in hopes that it will go away by itself (as if politicians don't use and abuse every bit of power left lying around unattended!)
This insane legislation declared war against enemies to be named later. It has no expiration date, it has no limitation on naming enemies. Obama speechified in 2009 - 'that authorization is still in effect'.
Bush named al-Qaeda and the Taliban, for starters. Obama now names enemies on an individual basis, perhaps while having tea and jam.
The Victory Condition for this insane war is the prevention of future terrorism. That's what the President/Supreme Executioner is doing when he kills.
Q: How do you identify a future terrorist?
A: By his dead body.
Of course, everybody has the potential for future acts of any kind, so everybody is a suspect and everybody is in danger and everybody will eventually end up dead or caged, all in order to prevent that future terrorism.
Don't expect things to change, except to get worse.
In order to win the war (to stop this war), we need to win the linguistic battle. I urge you to end the use of the Bush propaganda-machine term "Global War on Terror". When you use their term, you reinforce their insane reality, you give credence to their meme. We must change that.
We must use our own term - and that should be the DAFT war, the Defense against Future Terrorism.
After all, this war is not meant to be won, only to continue forever and ever, as an excuse to do all the things that you see being done to us.
It's been almost 11 years and things are getting worse. The war is certainly continuing and serving its purpose.
Stop the DAFT war
