William Boykin
From Conservapedia
Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin is an expert in counterterrorism.
He said:
- ... in order to succeed in Afghanistan, we have to develop an infrastructure that would allow for economic development, which would ultimately give people hope for the future so they are not tied to handouts from the Taliban.[1]
On Islamic terrorism, he said:
- These jihadists are committed, suicidal -- in many cases -- zealots that really believe their calling from Allah is to destroy Western democracy, kill infidels, and establish a caliphate that will ultimately usher in the reign of the Mahdi. You are not going to defeat an organization like that by killing them all. They just continue to reproduce because this is based on a theology, not holding a piece of ground or a particular objective. We’re talking about a war of ideas here, and that idea is not going to go away.[2]
