Fifteen Years after 9/11: A Preliminary Balance Sheet
Abstract
Fifteen years of U.S. efforts to destroy the jihadist terrorist enterprise have not led to victory in the classic military sense. Indeed, such victory may not be achievable in this kind of war. Instead, there have been both successes and failures in what will likely be an enduring task. Measuring progress in irregular warfare without front lines is always difficult. The diverse dimensions and multiple fronts of the continuing U.S. campaign against terrorists inspired by jihadist ideologies make doing so an exceptional challenge.
