If it's such a failure I wonder why so many nations and politicos are so concerned about all the petroleum and natural gas over there. I'm told that this country has enough for our needs so why anyone is still dealing with them must be a mystery.
It’s a mystery to me, too.
But the “failure” is the governments refusal to name the threat, replacing it with this “countering violent extremism” meme. It’s an astonishing book.
