<p> STRATEGY, WAR, AND POLITICS TODAY’S LECTURE: “Terrorism” QUOTES OF THE DAY</p><p>"The objective of terrorism is not mass murder. Terrorists want a lot of people watching, and a lot of people listening, and not a lot of people dead." Brian Jenkins, terrorism expert, 1974</p><p>"Today’s terrorists don’t want a seat at the table, they want to destroy the table and everyone sitting at it." James Woolsey, Director of Central Intelligence, 1994</p><p>“The United States has been occupying the lands of Islam in the holiest of its territories, Arabia, plundering its riches, overwhelming its rulers, humiliating its people, threatening its neighbors, and using its bases in the [Arabian] peninsula as a spearhead to fight against the neighboring Islamic peoples." Text of Osama Bin Laden’s Fatwah Urging Jihad against Americans, 1998</p><p>“We do not differentiate between those dressed in military uniforms and civilians. They are all targets…” Osama Bin Laden 1998 </p><p>“Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.” President George W. Bush, September 20, 2001</p><p>"In defending the peace, we face a threat without precedent. The attacks of September 11 required a few hundred thousand dollars in the hands of a few dozen evil and deluded men. All of the chaos and suffering they caused came at much less than the cost of a single tank." President George W. Bush, June 1, 2002</p>
