On Thursday, the Senate Armed Services Committee held a hearing on whether the statutory basis for this "war" - the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) - should be revised (meaning: expanded). This is how Wired's Spencer Ackerman (soon to be the Guardian US's national security editor) described the most significant exchange:
"Asked at a Senate hearing today how long the war on terrorism will last, Michael Sheehan, the assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict, answered, 'At least 10 to 20 years.' . . . A spokeswoman, Army Col. Anne Edgecomb, clarified that Sheehan meant the conflict is likely to last 10 to 20 more years from today - atop the 12 years that the conflict has already lasted. Welcome to America's Thirty Years War."

(8,559 posts)... but are you really talking about the video I posted in the OP? War mongering? How on Earth did you come away with that from it?
Please do feel free to explain, and it would be especially nice if you could be as specific as possible in addressing the actual content in this video that you're referring to.

(6,810 posts)StormCloudsGathering.com is fairly coo-coo for cocoa puffs, chock full of nutty conspiracy verbal scrawlings. Impeach Obama, immigration bill trojan horse for biometrics, Benghazi: What you're not being told, Boston bombing cover-up. There are some videos in there that look like they might be interesting, though-provoking, and most importantly not complete horseshit, but that website should NOT be relied upon for objective facts or analysis.
