I know what the counterterrorism feels like because I was there. But I also operated within limits. And within the United States government, we've decided long ago that there are limits on what we're going to do in the war against terrorism.
Ukraine has been a strong partner to the United States on international initiatives and a committed ally in fighting the War on Terrorism.
Britain must lead in Europe to intensify the fight against global terrorism and make our country safer.
Certainly, the fight against terrorism is a legitimate fight. And certainly whoever commits terrorism should be brought to justice.
The key battleground in the war on terrorism, therefore, is in the minds of the American public.
President al-Assad and his army are the only force that actually fights ISIS.
We need not throw away 200 years of American jurisprudence while we fight terrorism. We need not choose between our most deeply held values, and keeping this nation safe.
At least in Russia, you cannot just go and tap into someone's phone conversation without a warrant issued by court. That's more or less the way a civilized society should go about fighting terrorism.
There's a difference between those who breed terrorism and those who fight terrorism. This difference should be recognised by the people of India.
The world seems concerned with Pakistan primarily as an actor in global attempts to combat terrorism.
Hundreds of thousands of American servicemen and women are deployed across the world in the war on terror. By bringing hope to the oppressed, and delivering justice to the violent, they are making America more secure.

Just as the Security Council was largely irrelevant to the great struggle of the last half of the twentieth century - freedom against Communism - so too it is largely on the sidelines in our contemporary struggles against international terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
The open-ended nature of the struggle against it means that the war on terrorism, unlike conventional wars, cannot be viewed as a passing emergency. That fact has important implications for the debate about how much liberty we should give up so the government can fight terrorism more effectively. Since there’s now way of knowing when the war is over – no territory to occupy, no surrender to accept – any sacrifices we make are likely to be permanent.
Regarding fighting terrorism, we are ready to cooperate with anyone in this world with no conditions. That's crux of our policy, not today, not yesterday; for years, even before the war on Syria, we always said that.
The best way to fight terrorism is to do it through a peaceful way. I believe that a war can never be ended by a war.
