The war in Iraq, the abuse of detainees, electronic eavesdropping, Guantanamo Bay - these things were all done on our behalf and they may turn out in the end to have created more terrorists.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Terrorism as a force is gone. As individuals they are all around and we will continue to look for them.
Judy, we think that since the 11th of September, 2001, we've faced a similar heightened threat level. And we've been enhancing both the exchange of intelligence and security information and the assessment of that information, because that's the crucial element.
We live in a world where terror has become a too familiar part of our vocabulary. The terror of 9/11, in which al-Qaeda's attacks on America launched the nation into three wars - against Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Islamic State.
On September 11 last year international terrorism entered a new dimension.
I think the suffering, violence and cruelty and Guantanamo and the rest is going to go on and on in Iraq.
The deliberate and deadly attacks which were carried out yesterday against our country were more than acts of terror. They were acts of war.
I think the War on Terror has succeeded in creating more terror, more terrorists, a less safe America, and a less safe world.
As the war on terrorism spreads and prolongs, the fruits of ending the threat of terrorism around the world will be tempered with a whole new series of problems to be addressed and resolved.
When the new wave of terrorism came on the modern world, which is the late 1960s, early 1970s, I think we spent about a decade, the United States and our allies, trying to figure out how to deal with it.
The more we captured, the more we learned and eventually it destroyed the organization that attacked us on 9/11 and allowed us to get bin Laden.
