According to the Washington Times this week: It's official. The U.S. is no longer engaged in a "war on terrorism." Neither is it fighting "jihadists" or in a "global war."
"The President does not describe this as a 'war on terrorism,'" said John Brennan, head of the White House homeland security office, who outlined a "new way of seeing" the fight against terrorism.
The only terminology that Mr. Brennan said the administration is using is that the U.S. is "at war with al Qaeda."

I agree we are "at war with al Qaeda" in Afghanistan and around the world, but you can't ignore the threats from all the non-al Qaeda terrorist that spew their hatred for America and her allies on a daily basis.
What about North Korea that just threatened to shoot missiles at Hawaii in July? What about Iran? What about Hamas and Hezbollah whose #1 goal is the total destruction of Israel? What about the Somali pirates that are terrorizing the high seas? I could go on and on. . . .Sorry Mr. President and Mr. Brennan. . . but. . . .
WE ARE IN A "GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM"
You can try to sugar coat it, but there are thousands of "terrorist" just like the scum that beheaded Daniel Pearle, in 2002 and Nick Berg (pictured below), in 2004.
“sticks and stones may break my bones. . . .” These terrorist thugs don't care what they are called. . . . Their words can't hurt me, but their actions sure can. . . .
This Texas Girl says: It's time this government learned to "call a spade a spade", or to be politically incorrect "call a terrorist a terrorist"
