Alighieri, "In an interdependent world, we cannot ever succeed in killing, jailing or in occupying all of our adversaries," he said. "We've got to make a world with more friends and fewer terrorists."

It's truly too bad for our safety, Clinton didn't have an additional 3rd term. He would have avoided shaking up the hornet's nest. I suspect Bush has created more extremists through his choice of poor words and a strategy that's more fitting for a geographical war, not terrorism.

Truly spooky the CIA Director quit. Couldn't imagine any leader quitting their position during the thick of it. Makes you wonder whether the USA is going to have any ability to protect itself. I think the Pentagon has too much control over the CIA. They really need a liberal, open-minded, soft skills leader with a strong international ability for handling terrorism. Someone that can tread carefully, yet not let the Bush administration totally control them, and a person that can listen to the field offices.

Rumsfeld fears U.S. losing long-term fight against terror
June 6, 2004

BY ROBERT BURNS Advertisement

SINGAPORE -- The United States and its allies are winning some battles in the terrorism war but may be losing the broader struggle against Islamic extremism that is terrorism's source, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Saturday.

The troubling unknown, he said, is whether the extremists -- whom he termed ''zealots and despots'' bent on destroying the global system of nation-states -- are turning out newly trained terrorists faster than the United States can capture or kill them.

''It's quite clear to me that we do not have a coherent approach to this,'' Rumsfeld said at an international security conference


LOL. Its too ridiculous......how did these clowns get into power?!!
