In a literal meaning, war on a noun--eh, hardly humour there
In the meaning that we both probaby agree on--a war against fanaticals who
appear to have no issue with killing civilians of any country at whim to
generate terror--absolutely no humour there.
In the meaning that it actually alludes to--'terrah' being a GBW
pronunciation--complete non-funny "joke", in that most political pundits, most
generals, even most Americans and most people around the world, state that GBW
isn't doing a very good job aat conducting his 'war on terrah' and that 3000+
dead soldiers and tens of thousands of dead Iraqis have not lead to a reduction
in terror. In fact, GWB's jihad against Iraq has increased the ability and
fortitude of the terrorists. And I may point out, the escalating rhetoric that
GWB and his compadres have generated over the past 6 years have lead to
demonstrable 'terrorist attacks' from non-islamic fundamentalist sources--i.e.
rat-poinson laced cookies sent to American justices that do not 'toe GWB's line'
and anthrax attacks on journalists and media types who also haven't been
'friendly to Bush' (and lest we forget the 'joking' emanating from some 'on the
right' when Keith Olbermann received a powdered containing envelope). More
people are scared now to talk openly about their political stances lest they
lose their jobs or even worse, get into physical altercations. People are
getting fired or disciplined for having anti-bush bumperstickers. Am I making
the 'war on terrah' into a joke?? No, I think America has already done that.

US officials sent him to Syria instead of Canada. You know what the issue is
right there. You're better than hiding behind that 'Hey, it's classified--I'm
not to know and neither are you' obfuscation.

Well, I'll take one for the team and apologize for the Anne Murray thing...
Though, to be said, the last time Anne Murray was relevant in the media was,
well, the '70's. And we did give y'all Shania, so that's gotta account for
something.
