Gotta love the Arab/Islamic combat model. When the going gets tough, flee! That IS the Arab way of war. Flee from strength, hope they chase you into ambush, and wait them out.
The desert was the Arab's fortress, a place where they could go where enemies could not get to them (since they would not know where to find water), and from which they could attack when opportunity presented itself

The United States will eliminate the breeding ground for terrorists.

You would think that all the ME wars fought between Israel and the A-rabs would have caused them to drop that strategy.
I think the jihadists are starting to rely on the Dhimmicrats and the EUroweenies to man the ambush.
