Constant War- Ever

U.S. Secretary of State, Robert Gates, in a recent speech to rally the troops, describes the US's war-fighting future in this way: "What has been called the 'Long War' [ie Bush's 'war on terror', including the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq] is likely to be many years of persistent, engaged combat all around the world in differing degrees of size and intensity. This generational campaign cannot be wished away or put on a timetable. There are no exit strategies."
