An official for the State Department made it official, “The War on Terror is over.”
It would seem that Barack Obama would have wanted to make the rather significant announcement himself, but instead the proclamation was made by an unnamed State Department official to Michael Hirsch of the National Journal.
Whew! That’s good news for sure.
I wonder if the Obama Administration also sent a memo to the 50 Foreign Terrorist Organizations identified by the State Department that the clock has run out – the game is over – take your suicide bomber vest and go home?
We’ve all come to know their names: Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, Palestinian Islamic Jihad , Al-Shabaab, etc.
Now that the War on Terror has come to an end, look for an announcement that the Department of Homeland Security will be eliminated. DHS should no longer be necessary since fighting the War on Terror was the stated reason for creating the new agency in the first place.
In defining the Mission for DHS, Sec. 101 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 says “The primary mission of the Department is to…prevent terrorist attacks within the United States.” The short mission statement uses the word “terrorist” or “terrorism” six times. (See below)
No more War on Terror, no more DHS, no more Janet Napolitano…would that also mean we could go back to the good old days of airport security when we could keep most of our clothes on before boarding a plane?
One can hope, but don’t hold your breath.
