  • Obama Seeks End to US 'War on Terror'
    SUBSCRIPTION SATURDAY, MAY 25, 2013 RAJAB 15, 1434 AH No: 15819 Hard choices Syria opposition Palmer takes for Palestine, seeks to unify control with a Israel: Kerry7 as talks loom9 6245 at Colonial Obama seeks end to US ‘war on terror’ Max 42º 150 Fils Cautious welcome to drones speech Min 29º WASHINGTON: Twelve years after the “war on terror” began, President Barack Obama wants to pull the United States back from some of the most controversial aspects of its global fight against Islamist militants. In a major policy speech on Thursday, Obama nar- rowed the scope of the targeted-killing drone campaign against Al- Qaeda and its allies and took steps toward closing the Guantanamo Bay military prison in Cuba. He acknowledged the past use of “torture” in US interrogations; expressed remorse over civilian casualties from drone strikes; and said that the Guantanamo detention facility “has become a symbol around the world for an America that flouts the rule of law.” Though aimed first at a domestic audience, Obama’s speech at Washington’s National Defense University was also the latest mile- stone in his campaign to reshape the global image of the United States - particularly in the Islamic world.But he faces obstacles from opponents in Congress who will try to block the closure of Guantanamo prison and reject his call to repeal the Authorization for Use of Military Force passed right after the Sept 11, 2001, attacks. The law is the legal basis for much of the “war on terror.” President Obama’s speech on the use of drones and the fate of Guantanamo prisoners was largely welcomed yesterday in two key countries affected by the policies- Pakistan and Yemen.
