"The catch-all phrase - The War on Terror. In all honesty, has no more meaning than if you want to wage a War on criminal Gangsterism. Terrorism is a Tactic. You can't have a War against a Tactic.

Semi-Spoof News Flash - American Forces Attack Syria, Eight Die
by Jake Towne, the Champion of the Constitution (libertarian)
Published: October 29, 2008
This article is a semi-spoof alteration of an AP article I found titled "US special forces launch rare attack inside Syria." NONE of the facts have been changed though, just a few changes to make the article a bit more entertaining. My goal is to confuse you at least once into separating the "AP Mass Media News" from my fiction, which you can easily do by clicking on the source links. Just trying out a new satire style! Hope you find it interesting and the news informative; feel free to tell me what you think in the comments field below.
