That line always gets up my crawl when various politicals use it on the Sunday morning talk shows. Just once I'd love to see a host haul off and passionately explain how ignorant they are for saying such.

There is no winning the war on terrorism. Hopefully you can stop some acts based on intelligence, but there is no way to eliminate all of those with the determined mindset who have patiently integrate into the background, and are in no hurry as they don't want to flub it when it comes their time to accept martyrdom...

And that's why I feel our current response isn't working. With such a patient and resourceful enemy the ones we are generating today can keep the world stocked for decades.
