He took issue with his fellow pundits’ assertion that Hillary Rodham Clinton stumbled when she criticized President Barack Obama’s foreign policy. “Of course she did,” Schieffer noted.<\/p>\n

Schieffer took note of the implied contention within the White House that the May 2011 commando mission that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was sufficient somehow to defeat terrorism. It surely wasn’t.<\/p>\n

Many of us noted that although bin Laden’s death was a big victory in the war against terror, other terrorists would emerge to take his place.<\/p>\n

They have done exactly that.<\/p>\n

Schieffer says the United States needs a comprehensive strategy to continue the fight for as long as it takes in order to protect Americans from those who vow to do us harm.<\/p>\n

The veteran journalist knows of which he speaks.<\/p>\n\n
