"War on terror"
More Orwellian language... Kos (I believe) pointed out that "war on terror" is, conceptually, the same as "war on let flanking maneuvers," and just as nonsensical.
That is, "terror" is a tactic. Whatever we go to war with, it isn't a tactic. And since you can't define what it means to win a war with no clear objectives, the "war on terror" is, by definition, endless. Probably what the PNAC types want.
