The War on Terror (WoT), also known as the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), refers to the international military campaign that started after the September 11 attacks on the United States.
U.S. PresidentGeorge W. Bush first used the term "War on Terror" on 20 September 2001. The Bush administration and the western media have since used the term to argue a global military, political, legal, and conceptual struggle against both organizations designated terrorist and regimes accused of supporting them. It was originally used with a particular focus on countries associated with Islamic terrorism organizations including al-Qaeda and like-minded organizations.
In 2013, President Barack Obama announced that the United States was no longer pursuing a War on Terror, as the military focus should be on specific enemies rather than a tactic. He stated, "We must define our effort not as a boundless 'Global War on Terror', but rather as a series of persistent, targeted efforts to dismantle specific networks of violent extremists that threaten America."

What's been the true impact of the so-called 'War on Terror'?
The U.S. launched its so-called 'War on Terror' after the 9/11 attacks.
Invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq followed - with huge loss of life.
A new U.S. academic study says more than 4.5 million people lost their lives - directly or indirectly from the 'War on Terror.'
So, what has been its true impact?

What Caused the War on Terror? (feat. Hikma History)
It’s been a decade since I fought in Afghanistan, and a decade before that began. Yet somehow, we’re still fighting there. Perhaps we’re finally the end of it, but the beginning is so far away that I think we need to re-examine what caused it.

The Truth About The War on Terror They Don't Want You To Know
The two decades since 9/11 have been a relentless story of death, terror and ruin on a mass scale. The so-called 'War on Terror' succeeded in doubling terrorist deaths while consuming Iraq and Afghanistan in blood and chaos, followed by catastrophic US defeat; while the drone war, the onslaught against Yemen and the fall of Libya unleashed even more carnage. Here is that story: of how the true horror has been airbrushed out of existence because the lives of the victims are deemed unimportant, while those responsible for the greatest crimes of our time remain venerated as statesmen.

Wiki: The war on terror, also known as the Global War on Terrorism and U.S. War on Terror, is an international military campaign launched by the United States government after the September 11 attacks.[33] The targets of the campaign are primarily Sunni Islamic fundamentalist armed groups located throughout the Muslim world, with the most prominent groups being Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, the Taliban, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, and the various franchise groups of the former two organizations. The naming of the campaign uses a metaphor of war to refer to a variety of actions that do not constitute a specific war as traditionally defined. U.S. president George W. Bush first used the term "war on terrorism" on 16 September 2001,[34][35] and then "war on terror" a few days later in a formal speech to Congress.[36][37] In the latter speech, George Bush stated, "Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists and every government that supports them."[37][38] The term was originally used with a particular focus on countries associated with al-Qaeda. The term was immediately criticised by such people as Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and more nuanced terms subsequently came to be used by the Bush administration to publicly define the international campaign led by the U.S.[33] While it was never used as a formal designation of U.S. operations in internal government documentation,[39] a Global War on Terrorism Service Medal was issued.

The two decades since 9/11 have been a relentless story of death, terror and ruin on a mass scale. The so-called 'War on Terror' succeeded in doubling terrorist deaths while consuming Iraq and Afghanistan in blood and chaos, followed by catastrophic US defeat; while the drone war, the onslaught against Yemen and the fall of Libya unleashed even more carnage. Here is that story: of how the true horror has been airbrushed out of existence because the lives of the victims are deemed unimportant, while those responsible for the greatest crimes of our time remain venerated as statesmen.

Video games are not what they seem...
They have a hidden agenda and are the frontlines of a digital battleground where pixels and politics collide.

The War on Terror (WoT), also known as the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), refers to the international military campaign that started after the September 11 attacks on the United States.
U.S. PresidentGeorge W. Bush first used the term "War on Terror" on 20 September 2001. The Bush administration and the western media have since used the term to argue a global military, political, legal, and conceptual struggle against both organizations designated terrorist and regimes accused of supporting them. It was originally used with a particular focus on countries associated with Islamic terrorism organizations including al-Qaeda and like-minded organizations.
In 2013, President Barack Obama announced that the United States was no longer pursuing a War on Terror, as the military focus should be on specific enemies rather than a tactic. He stated, "We must define our effort not as a boundless 'Global War on Terror', but rather as a series of persistent, targeted efforts to dismantle specific networks of violent extremists that threaten America."
Watching me fall Into the flames Of a broken soul tonight No stone overturned This graveyard of mine Allows me no peace [Chorus] Sleep as day dies Sleepwalk with the dead Wander aimlessly through the night Love and regret Course through my veins As I slowly fade away Please let me sleep Just one last night Before I must wake [Chorus] And I walk with these ghosts And I walk with these ghosts And I walk with these ghosts... [Chorus] Sleep as night falls Sleepwalk with the dead Hope keeps me alive
