"The fight against terrorism is usually discussed simplistically as one in which there are only friends and enemies, best summarized by the “with us or against us” statement of President George W. Bush just a week after the September 11 attacks. Yet the reality is far more complex, and the countries that take up the most time for policymakers are those that fall in between the categories of ally or foe — especially Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Mali, and Pakistan. In many ways, when it comes to tackling terrorist threats, these countries are both firefighters and arsonists. And while cooperation with them is crucial, it has been exceedingly difficult, whether because of state weakness, conflicting interests, or outright duplicity."

Sir,
All we have to do, is not allow any more Mosques to be built, deport Imams preaching hate back to the shit hole they are from and those from here, fined and imprisoned like the Mafia it is.
But, that is not the agenda. The agenda is to destroy culture. Islam plays it's role well. But, it is only part of that agenda. Just like an Illegal alien State within a State is part of that agenda (20 to 40 million souls). The real problem is sold out Democrats and RINO's to said agenda. See Europe and Deerborn, MI.
They sold out to NAFTA and GATT and they sold out to open borders and destruction of culture.
Those that voted for Trump are the last of the holdouts in a world on board, with few exceptions, to world government and open borders. This is why the Nazis hate the Deplorables so much. The agenda is on hold.
Regards LTC,

welllllll - but how does that apply to this article Mark? Usually you are fixed in your comments on specific parts of an article. This article is looking at something else - and what i pulled form reading it was in regards to two particular items - who we are focused on fighting the fight inn their country... and how we have gone about that. I view it as a CENTCOM and everyone else approach. In CENTCOM we seem to have the ability to put forces and resources into supporting a country - and in turn look to be the lead of it. Everywhere else wee have limited forces and resources and we try to work through and with the host nations (and they with us). And it is a good book review..

We have to get their attention Sir.
