Well sure, but you said one can't combat international terrorism by deploying troops, and that the task Bush Jr. laid out *combating terrorism* was futile. Neither of these things is remotely true. Rhetorical phrases like "war on terrorism" are not meant as nor should be interpreted as literal statements.
