The war against terrorism is terrorism.

If it is terrorism, if it is war on terror, then the Afghan people will join you on terror.

'War on terror' is a misnomer. It would be like calling America's involvement in World War II a 'war on kamikazism.' Terrorism, like kamikazism, is a tactic.

The war on terror is a fight that we did not start, but it is one that we shall finish.

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.

I think the War on Terror has succeeded in creating more terror, more terrorists, a less safe America, and a less safe world.

Pakistan is both an ally in the war on terror, and in some sense, a battleground of the war on terror.

I believe the war on terror is the vital discussion of this decade and of our generation, probably. To win the war on terror, you need a good offense and a good defense. On defense, I regret to say, basically, this administration has not come close to doing what is necessary.

The war on terror, if this is a war on terror, can only be won by a sincere regional and international cooperation. All have to believe they have something at stake and work together. In the absence of this it will become political and interest-oriented.
