What on earth does "fight terror" mean?
That is one of the stupidest formulations of war strategy in the history of warfare.
The enemy commanders operate untouched in Riyadh and Islamabad. Farting around taking casualties for twice as long as it took to conquer Germany and Japan, and thinking it's a smart warplan, is a serious, serious problem.
What I mean is to take the fight, to those that want to destroy the west. Bring the battle to their soil. Either that, or close our borders and become an isolated country.
