WOW, AFGHANISTAN REALLY IS HIS VIETNAM:

Obama's counter-terrorism advisor denounces Bush-era policies: John Brennan accuses the previous administration of promoting a 'global war' mind-set that served only to 'validate Al Qaeda's twisted worldview.' (Greg Miller, August 6, 2009, LA Times)

President Obama's counter-terrorism chief rebuked the Bush administration repeatedly today in a speech designed to make the case for an expanded approach to fighting Islamic extremism, just weeks before the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

In his first public appearance as White House counter-terrorism advisor, John Brennan said the Bush administration's policies had been an affront to American values, undermined the nation's security and fostered a "global war" mind-set that served only to "validate Al Qaeda's twisted worldview."

If you expand your approach from global war what do you do? Attack other planets?
