Losing the War on Terrorism

✅ Shortly after the jihadist attacks against the USA on 911, President George W. Bush announced that America would lead the world in a war against terrorism, starting with Al Qaeda and ending with the elimination of every terrorist organization with global reach. The strategies devised by the Bush Administration to achieve these objectives are now generally recognized as a complete failure. However, at the time of writing this in 2002 the Bush Administration enjoyed a well-spring of support - those who dared question the logic of a war on terror were sidelined. The following monograph is an analysis of four main pillars of the new American national security strategies prior to their implementation, and during the first two years of implementation. The writing, as such, remains unchanged since 2003.
