Tonight on Secure Freedom Radio, Former Undersecretary of Defense, Douglas J. Feith joins Frank for two segments to discuss his book, War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism, and the how the decisions that were made after 9/11 have impacted the war in Iraq and the US’s policy on terror. In his first segment, Feith gives us an insider look into the two strategic goals that the Bush administration could have followed: either find and punish the people responsible for the attack or work towards preventing the next attack. In order to not have another attack on the scale of 9/11, the Bush administration decided to pursue a War on Terrorism, a feat unparalleled in the history of US Presidents. Feith goes on to discuss how ten years after the attack, the US has been successful in disrupting attacks from international terrorist networks and protecting the homeland, but have failed in countering ideological support for terrorism.
