Fruit Salad
Ladies and Gentlemen, the War on Terrorism is over. We didn’t win, but we also didn’t lose. It has just been renamed:
Overseas Contingency Operation.
What the hell does that mean? Folks, it doesn’t mean a damn thing. It is one of those things that sounds really complicated but doesn’t really tell you anything. Let’s break this down…
Overseas–Not in America
Contingency–”The quality or state of being contingent” Contingent–likely but not certain to happen, or dependent upon something else.
Operation–”a usually military action, mission, or maneuver including its planning and execution”
So Basically, it should be called “A Not in America Military Action that is Likely but not Certain to Happen or is Dependent Upon Something Else,” but that probably wouldn’t fit on the business card…
You know, Glenn Beck brought up a good point. Let’s just call the Global War on Terror “Fruit Salad.”
