Edwards said terrorism doesn't exist?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

I have a moran associate that says Edwards needs to be sent to a terrorist training camp because he said that "terrorism doesn't exist". I've looked all over google I can't find anything even close. WTF? Where would someone get this idea?

1. Edwards scrubbed the phrase 'war on terror' from his website I believe...

"This political language has created a frame that is not accurate and that Bush and his gang have used to justify anything they want to do," Edwards said in a phone interview from Everett, Wash. "It's been used to justify a whole series of things that are not justifiable, ranging from the war in Iraq, to torture, to violation of the civil liberties of Americans, to illegal spying on Americans. Anyone who speaks out against these things is treated as unpatriotic. I also think it suggests that there's a fixed enemy that we can defeat with just a military campaign. I just don't think that's true."

4. I heard an interview with him today on AAR, and he said the same

thing, that the "war on terror" was misleading, and used to justify the unjustifiable. Your co-worker probably heard the Faux News version of it.

Read and see if he said that.

He did a great job.

3. Extremism exists in any religion

Look at Falwell and Robertson. They set up fake universities to promote their insane ideas.

10. Terrorism exists

the "War on terror" is a bullshit euphemism for "The resource wars"

[sinkingfeeling]

11. No, Edwards said the 'war on terror' (also known as GWOT) doesn't exist!

And he's right.

12. The short answer, as always, is "prove it"

When your associate comes up with nothing more than Edwards' totally true assertion that the Republican "War on Terror" is more advertising slogan than reality, you can just stare blankly at him for about eight seconds, then say, "And . . . ?"
