9/11 Commission Chiefs Say 'Terrorism Needs to Be Prevented at the Source,' While Ignoring Its Source BY ROBERT SPENCER SEPTEMBER 13, 2019
9/11 Commission Chiefs Say ‘Terrorism Needs to Be Prevented at the Source,’ While Ignoring Its Source SEP 15, 2019 5:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER
My latest at PJ Media:
Former New Jersey Governor Thomas H. Kean and former Indiana Congressman Lee H. Hamilton were chairman and vice-chairman, respectively, of the 9/11 Commission. On Tuesday, they published an op-ed in USA Today calling for a bold new approach to the global problem of jihad terrorism. Their innovative new idea? More of the same tried, tested, and repeatedly failed policies that have gotten us into the fix we’re in today.
“Over a decade and a half ago, as chairs of the 9/11 Commission,” they write, “we called for a comprehensive strategy to prevent new generations of terrorists, in addition to safeguarding the homeland and defeating terrorist groups.” That is indeed what is needed, and has been for quite some time, but, say Kean and Hamilton, “that call remains largely unfulfilled.” And by the end of their article, it still is.
Kean and Hamilton have just “served as the chairs of the congressionally mandated Task Force on Extremism in Fragile States, which was convened by the United States Institute of Peace”; they note that “last year, Congress charged the U.S. Institute of Peace with developing a strategy to prevent the spread of extremist violence in the world’s most fragile states and asked us to lead a bipartisan group of 13 of America’s most senior foreign policy leaders to address this critical challenge.” The final report of this Task Force “calls for the United States to focus on the underlying causes of fragility, by helping to repair the broken social contract between citizens and their governments, rather than just respond to terrorist threats.”
This sounds great, but in the final analysis, it amounts to more of the same failed policies that the U.S. has been implementing for years, which primarily amount to throwing money at the problem. Not surprisingly, this wrongheaded initiative has the endorsement of numerous exponents of those failed policies; Kean and Hamilton call them “leaders on both sides of the aisle — Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Chris Coons, D-Del., Reps. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., and Michael McCaul, R-Texas,” who are sponsoring their legislation.
Even worse, “in April, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo concurred during a hearing that we must seize the moment and adopt this new approach.” Kean and Hamilton “applaud their leadership.”
Pardon me if I hold my applause. A new approach is indeed needed, but this isn’t it.
There is much more. Read the rest here.

These two hacks are living examples of the liberal death wish being really afraid of the muzzards, so instead of 'engage them and destroy them' we get this crapola,:
Congress charged the U.S. Institute of Peace with developing a strategy to prevent the spread of extremist violence in the world’s most fragile states and asked us to lead a bipartisan group of 13 of America’s most senior foreign policy leaders to address this critical challenge.” The final report of this Task Force “calls for the United States to focus on the underlying causes of fragility, by helping to repair the broken social contract between citizens and their governments, rather than just respond to terrorist threats.”
These dhimmis just want to be left alone to enjoy their wealthy position, they are afraid of the muzzards. Watch this:

Perhaps, and Ilhan Omar for certain.
So we’re going to start deporting muslims?
Worldwide philosophical asymmetric war of the enemy is very tough to beat. Most would rather submit, or join forces. (1400 years and still a threat. Any ideas?)
When it comes to warfighting military audiences tend to focus on the military and power aspects of warfare; the tangibles of terrain, enemy, weather, leadership, and troops; quantifiables such as the number of tanks and artillery tubes—the correlation of forces. Analysts steer toward the familiar rather than the unfamiliar; people tend to think in their comfort zones. The study of ideology or philosophy is often brushed aside, it’s not the “stuff of muddy boots;” it is more cerebral than physical and not action oriented. Planners do not assess the “cor- relation of ideas.” The practitioners are too busy.
Dr. Antulio Echevarria recently argued the US military does not have a doc- trine for war as much as it has a doctrine for operations and battles.5 The military has a deficit of strategic, and, one could add, philosophic thinking.
From The Quranic Concept of War p.108
Jihad continues apace.
WHO appoints people to this commission?
It looks to me they should all be fired and start over with people who have a clue.
Dr. Bill Warner has performed a great national service with his YouTube website, “Political Islam”. His scores of videos on historical Islam should be compulsory training for all conservative Americans.
If the approach doesn't include the word "nuclear", it is the usual waste of time that guarantees the ultimate moslem victory...
The ultimate target-rich environment... Good place to grow mushrooms...
Unless you are willing to invade their countries , kill the leadership, and convert the rest to Christianity, it’s going to continue. A less radical solution is isolate Islamic countries completely. No trade, nobody allowed to move out of Islamic states except for those who reject Islam.
Can you grow mushrooms on glass?
The only way to ever end Islamic jihad is to end Islam as an ideology.
Jihad is an integral part of Islam.
Whoops! Guess we'll have to call'em back until we can correct the strategy... I was so looking forward to mushrooms under glass for supper later this week...
And we are paying people to write this b.s.
“’Terrorism Needs to Be Prevented at the Source,’ While Ignoring Its Source”
Your article caught my attention because I recently read the following article which was written in 2012 about Louis Freeh, former FBI Director. Freeh was FBI Dir. from 1993 until suddenly leaving right before 9/11. An interim director was appointed for about three months when guess who got appointed as FBI Dir. ONE week before 9/11. None other that Mr. Russia Collusion Delusion Investigator himself, Robert Muller.

Long read but very interesting.
On the lighter side...
