We've lost the "War On Terror" [View all]

It's over.

Apparently the "War On Terror" is dependent on whether or not Obama attends a rally in Paris.

Millions of Europeans attended the rally and showed solidarity for one another, but apparently it's meaningless. It's all about America at this point.

If that's the case, then it's over. Time to call it a day.

Cut the defense budget. Withdraw from the Middle East. It's over.

We lost.

Time to take our lumps and move on.

Focus on domestic issues like income inequality and banksters running our economy.

If the entire "War On Terror" is dependent on a single President attending a rally...then it's over.

Game. Set. Match.

We lost.
