I am almost amused by Washington's apparent belief that the US economy can sustain two decades of a global conflict. In a way I almost hope they try, if that in itself wouldn't lead to the meaningless deaths of million of people.
They really shouldn't use terms like "rebranding". It is so obviously all about the marketing. The US is being run like a dodgy company where nobody cares if the products work or if they have customers, as long as the investors are fooled.
But seriously, shouldn't the "War on Cancer" be the "Long War"? I mean, it was declared sometime in the 60s. Even the "War on Drugs" has been going for longer (and bodybags would be an equally appropriate symbol there too.)
And is it just me or have we gotten pretty much nowhere on both of those too?
