Re: The CIA are defeatists?
Our agenda has been to make Al Qaeda uncomfortable in unstable areas. Pushing extremists into areas with firmer government control is a win.
Al Qaeda wouldn't last under authority - it is when shielded by erratic regimes that it can strike optimally. The fight should get easier in areas that know stability. Of course we should monitor the situation carefully and use force whenever necessary, particularly in areas with weak government control or impediment.

"If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
(Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
