Adam Smith's Progressive Capitalist has a couple of inciteful points on the forgotton war, the one on drugs, here and here.  Peter at Kick The Leftist has yet another absurd example of the futility of this obvious hypocricy and political grandstanding.  The "war" ebbs and flows, but the end is nowhere in sight.

A fight against a a social or cultural phenomenon is not something that can be "won" by government edict.  Gerald Ford shined up cute buttons with "WIN" for Whip Inflation Now in his ill fated war on high prices.  That went over well, didn't it?  Gas was about 87 cents then wasn't it?  Wasn't there a war on poverty even before that?  I can only hope that Bush's war on gays works out as well. 

I knew we were in trouble when I noticed the subtle transformation by the Ministry of Propaganda White House from a War on Terrorists became the War on Terror, a much more vague and broad term.  This allows the perpetual war to be perpetrated upon just about anyone with no possibility of a final "victory."

Ambiguity serves this administration well.  You cannot call someone a liar when the argument is over the definition of terms and not the consequences of actions.

These guys learn the lesson of Clinton's "is-speak" all too well.
