If we could do it all over again, after 9/11 we would've plotted our response by first studying the enemy and knowing his threat doctrine. Over time, we explicitly forbade that, purging materials that described what jihadists believe, why they believe it thefederalist.com/2021/09/10/wha…
Since 9/11 was, on a practical level, an immigration failure, we would've frozen immigration, put in place laws to ensure Islamists and aiders/abettors/enablers couldn't. Instead, since '01 we've imported immigrants from majority-Muslim countries en masse thefederalist.com/2021/09/10/wha…
Foreign-born terrorists have continued to perpetrate attacks against America, and now we learn that an estimated hundred Afghan evacuees have been flagged for terror ties. What rational/sane country would respond as we have? thefederalist.com/2021/09/10/wha…
When it comes to the fast-accelerating calamity in Afghanistan, President Joe Biden is the wrong man, doing the right thing, in the absolute worst way newsweek.com/bidens-afghani…
We should have struck AQ and Taliban protectors w such shock & awe that neither would ever dare so much as think to touch an American again. This would have sent a message to Islamic supremacists the world over. Then we should have left newsweek.com/bidens-afghani…
The core reasons for the failure in Afghanistan? 1) Didn't know the enemy 2) Fought him w/ suicidal rules of engagement 3) No clear/realistic goals, objectives, exit strategy newsweek.com/bidens-afghani…
