U.S. Strategy In War On Terror

An Army War College analyst has released a new report which claims that since 9/11 the the Bush administration has had no clear strategy in its war on terrorism and that ambitious statements have not been followed to their logical end.

The report alleges that the U.S. has failed to understand that terrorism isn't an enemy but a tactic. Meanwhile, the costs of waging an ambiguous war, with no coherent strategy to stop terrorism, are mounting.

Hear about the U.S. grand strategy in its war on terrorism.
