I don't think that's what that guy said at all. His conclusion is such:

"There is one decisive advantage to the “evildoer” metaphor, and it is this: Combat with evildoers is not Clausewitzian war. You do not make treaties with evildoers or try to adjust your conduct to make them like you. You do not try to see the world from the evildoers’ point of view. You do not try to appease them, or persuade them, or reason with them. You try, on the contrary, to outwit them, to vanquish them, to kill them. You behave with them in the same manner that you would deal with a fatal epidemic — you try to wipe it out."

Wipe out Al Qaeda and all who support it. I feel we will be embroiled in a full-blown war against most Muslims in the middle-east.

as long as we don't treat it like a rat-shoot; and leave a male and a female for "next year".

just because they don't wage Clausewitzian war, doesn't mean we shouldn't; or can't.
