Quote: That said, they are really misleading all of America, Tom, in a profound way. The war on terror is less -- it is occasionally military, andit will be, andit will continue to be for a long time.Andwe will need the best-trainedand the most well-equippedand the most capable military, such as we have today.
But it's primarily an intelligence and law enforcement operation that requires cooperation around the world -- the very thing this administration is worst at. And most importantly, the war on terror is also an engagement in the Middle East economically, socially, culturally, in a way that we haven't embraced, because otherwise we're inviting a clash of civilizations.
