"Staffers in various departments in the Pentagon (the U.S. Defense Department) are busy preparing a document known as the National Military Strategy ‐ but have not yet come to an agreement on at least one critical point regarding the worldwide terror threat.

This is the first one prepared under the guidance of Gen. Joseph Dunford, who took office as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff exactly a year ago.
The debate taking place at present concerns whether or not to clearly specify the strong connection between extremist Islam and terrorism." |
