The Administration is admitting that its strategy since September 11th
has failed, without really admitting it.
The single-minded emphasis on hunting down terrorists has failed
. . .
The use of military force as the country's primary and, at times, only
response has failed, and has stretched the Army and the Marines to the breaking point.
. . . Unilateralism has failed.
The overwhelmingly American character of the war has failed
. . .
Loading the entire burden of the war onto the backs of American soldiers,
while telling the rest of the citizenry to go about its business, has failed, . . .
only thirty-four per cent of Americans said that we are winning the
war on terrorism.
