Mr. Bodansky may be a "terrorism expert", but he's also peddling a book, and is therefore inclined to use sensationalism and "loaded" phrases ("losing the war on Terror). If one were go back to November 1942, one would find that while there was a grim determination to persevere in the Allied camp, no one "knew" to within a moral certainty that we were "winning" or "losing". Yet historical factors were already in motion that would make our victory "inevitable". The fact is that we have only just begun to fight the War on Terror, and that some dark days and difficult decisions lay ahead before we develop the sense of urgency, the ruthlessness (yes, ruthlessness) and the true will to win that it will take to keep terrorism away from our shores.

Bodansky is always on with John Batchelor and he ALWAYS says were losing. A real alarmist who has an overinflated view of his own importance. Then Loftus shows up in the next segment and says we're winning and victory over time is inevitable.

Take it all with a grain of salt.

I agree that if they had a suitcase nuke they would have used it by now.
