Our leaders haven't learned a damned thing from 9-11 in spite of all the studies, Commissions, recriminations, and 'new ways of thinking'. Nothing.
WORTH REPEATING >>>AGAIN AND AGAIN !

[James Ewell Brown Stuart]

If it were true that leaders have not learned anything since 9/11, we would not be engaged in the war on terror (that we are winning) and the enemy would not be dead by the thousands with their safe havens destroyed, their money networks disrupted, and their leaders dead or captured.

We would have run away from the fight (like Reagan in Lebanon), we would have coerced our ally (Israel) into feeling like she had no choice but to make her own peace with the Palestinians (Oslo Accords), or we would have changed the whole truth of Islam terrorism from state sponsored terrorism to a nameless-faceless shadowy group that we can only prosecute when we have enough evidence (Clinton).

This administration has not done that. Since 9/11, they have been on the offensive.
