Good question, MSgt Roger Lalik. I think we will get Jihadi John, sooner or later. I would not want to be him, even surrounded by his extremist buds. I would say that his days are numbered.

If the CinC doesn't have the conviction to attack the terrorists with determination, I can only think of one thing...

In "Audacity of Hope" page 261 he writes: "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
