"War on Terror" made up by the media?

This is so indescribably stupid.

Let's see...constant sectarian strife culminating in the destructions of one of the most sacred buildings of Shia and the death of up to 1,500 in a country the size of California might just be a big fuss over nothing made up by the media. Meanwhile, more than 5 years after 9/11, we're still being told to put up and shut up about the breach of our civil rights because we're in a war.

It seems like the Right's definition of what is or is not a war is remarkably dependent on what is politically expeditious.
