What the hell is the matter with you?  We weren't at war with anyone when
the Pentagon was attacked, and there was no declaration of war from anyone
after it was attacked.
It was an act of terrorism.

Agreed.  The attack on the USS Cole was NOT terrorism.  One could also argue
that neither was the attack on the Pentagon.  It would definitely not have
been terrorism had they used a truck bomb, etc.  The Cole and the Pentagon
are military targets.  The media and some government officials seem very
prone to using the word 'terrorism' for anything that happens that involves
death and destruction against the USA.
