Are we fighting too many wars? And I would say no. We're fighting one war. And it's a war against radical Islamic Jihad.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The war we are fighting today against terrorism is a multifaceted fight. We have to use every tool in our toolkit to wage this war - diplomacy, finance, intelligence, law enforcement, and of course, military power - and we are developing new tools as we go along.
It's a very unpleasant topic. But we are in an outright war against jihadist Islamic fascism. And this war is, is, I think, metastasizing, almost far quicker than governments can handle it... We have Boko Haram and other groups that will eventually partner with ISIS in this global war.
Well, today, we are in the struggle brought on to us by the terrorists of Islam. It is a war that we did not choose. It was a war that was declared against us as Americans, against our people, against our Constitution.
We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it.
I think that war is diplomacy by other means, for sure, and there have been wars that have been fought for righteous reasons. There are wars that have had to be fought, and there will probably continue to be.
We are not at war against Islam.
I believe - though I may be wrong, because I'm no expert - that this war is about what most wars are about: hegemony, money, power and oil.
If you use weapons of war to bring about peace, you're going to have more war and destruction.
There's no question that jihad historically means war.
We have war when at least one of the parties to a conflict wants something more than it wants peace.
