CIA & The War on Terrorism

"Victory will come, but it will take time and require the kind of  focused and sustained national commitment that we saw during the Cold War. Most importantly, it will require a relentless global campaign, joined by those in the Muslim world who are repulsed by al-Qa'ida's savagery, to expose the terrorists for what they are: peddlers of a hopeless, negative, backward vision of the world...."

— D/CIA Michael V. Hayden, speaking at the
Duquesne University Commencement Ceremony
