..Is what they are calling "the war"
I think the name fits quite well. Reminds me of Minsc.. "BOO! TIME TO UNLEASH SOME INFINTE JUSTICE ON EVIL!!!"

That's what I heard they're calling it. Fits well I think.

That's what it gonna be. If you asked me, the President and his advisors just made their first mistake. Let's hope they will not make the second and third (position armed forces in Pakistan and indiscriminantly bomb the **** out of Afghanistan).
They should have went for covert ops. Edit: I say mistake because, so far, they've been looking at it from a simple military operation point of view. This is terrorism, not Axis and Allies. They have to think out of the box and unless this deployment is hidding something unexpected, they are not. Well, I guess we'll know soon enough if it was a mistake. ------------------ If I am because I think, then, if I talk without thinking, I'm not really talking! Am I?

It's a mistake for Americans to be upset that they don't know everything the moment it's happening! It's already been said by the government that this will be a secretive war fought outside of the media. Thank God! I don't need to know anything until it's happened unless I'm in the military! ------------------ Captain of Bouncers, Boogre Bar LH Member And you never did think that it ever would happen again, in America did you?

But it's still a mistake to send planes to the Middle East. Thing his, fundamentalists consider Saudi Arabia as sacred land which should not be soiled by foreing (non-muslim) troop. This will only inflame more anti-American sentiment in the reagion. ------------------ If I am because I think, then, if I talk without thinking, I'm not really talking! Am I? |

I think it's fine if they want to name these actions, I just think they should keep it to themselves. I do think these names are melodramatic and sound silly to me. I find CNN title "The New War" just a little silly and overblown. Why do we need a name for our actions? It just gives our adversaries something to repeat and laugh at.
