How long will the so called "War on Terror" last?

[Jara sang]

I predict the republicans will milk this thing forever. They will dilute it so much that the general public will begin to see it as an example of the Federal governments ineffectiveness and it will eventually become a non issue. In the mean time a very serious threat will develop that will not be attended while our attention is focused on "the War on Terror". The "War on Terror" is nothing more than a propaganda tactic that Bush and the military industrial complex have created to generate positive public sentiment for their illegal wars, defense budget and contracts and to fatten the pockets of Bush's cronies.
