The War on Terror was declared against all terrorist organizations with global reach.

Whattabunchacrap.

AlKida has always been our bunch, CIA 'made' them in afganistan to fight USSR, gave them stingers. Hitlery and obammy equipt them to fight Syria but it didn't work out, bit us in the butt again. CIA's merry-making didn't work out so well in Iran or Cuba either, did it? Kinda makes you wonder...

Try paying attention next time.

“AlKida has always been our bunch, CIA ‘made’ them in afganistan to fight USSR,”

Ah yes...another liberal myth:

The early foundations of al-Qaeda were allegedly built in part on relationships and weaponry that came from the billions of dollars in U.S. support for the Afghan mujahideen during the war to expel Soviet forces from that country. However, scholars such as Jason Burke, Steve Coll, Peter Bergen, Christopher Andrew, and Vasily Mitrokhin have argued that Osama Bin Laden was “outside of CIA eyesight” and that there is “no support” in any “reliable source” for “the claim that the CIA funded bin Laden or any of the other Arab volunteers who came to support the mujahideen.”

That's not what Bush said to the joint session when he asked for war powers.

CIA killed Che Guevara. I'd call that a win. CIA pushed back the communists in Central America and South America. Also a win. US Intelligence has had several successes against Iran, only a few of which [like Stuxnet] that we know anything about. Iraq is no longer attempting to build a nuclear bomb and is no longer stockpiling chemical and biological weapons.

Like I said, try paying attention next time.
