Hosted by Oliver North
The word is everywhere, but what does it mean? Jihad — holy war or struggle — now threatens innocent people of every faith. Al Qaeda may now be at the top of the terror ladder, but the roots of this global war are deep in history.
Tune in this weekend as Oliver North explores what every person should know about jihad. In proven "War Stories" tradition, this episode brings historical context to today's events.
As you will see, the jihad being waged goes far beyond terrorists taking hostages, hijacking aircraft and the horror of suicide bombers. Its leaders proclaim independence of any state or government, but employ all of the elements of contemporary warfare: propaganda; financing; logistics; communications; covert operatives; and well-trained soldiers with modern weaponry.
You will learn about the homegrown face of terror: Adam Gadahn also known as Azzam the American. Just how did a California boy raised on a goat farm become a new face in Al Qaeda's inner circle? Why was the Iranian revolution of 1979 the turning point in today's modern day jihad?
In an exclusive interview, Vice President Dick Cheney tells North that the War on Terror "is a war that we can win, but it's a war that may take 25 or 50 years. It's a war that we absolutely have to stay at. Only the United States can provide the leadership that the world requires to deal with this threat. If the U.S. doesn't do it there really isn't anybody else who can."

I'm going to set my DVR so I don't miss it. :) Sounds like a great show.
Dang! I forgot to put the date of the show in the title! Can you add the date, A.M.? Pretty please? (10/15/06 8pm/11pm ET), or just the date if it all doesn't fit. Sorry about that!
Thanks for the ping. This could provide an interesting perspective on the Islamofascist threat.
Thank you for the reminder! It's on my calendar in BIG LETTERS. :)
