I am still really confused on this whole war thing
The President keeps talking about the War and I still dont know what war he is talking about.

Congress has not declared war so is this like the other fake wars of the 20th century like the war on poverty or the war on drugs.

it is starting to look that way to me

1. It's an illegal occupation
that followed an illegal invasion of a sovereign country. The only war is the assault on the U.S. Constitution and various international treaties.

2. It's not a war, it's an occupation.
I always refer to it that way. An invasion, then an occupation.
