<“One is having justice be done, which is more short-term. The long-term objective is eradicating international organized terrorism. The two objectives are not necessarily mutually reinforcing.”

They should be.

They can be, if our intelligence is correct and we are accurate on all fronts. The war in Afghanistan must be as swift and total as possible. I give us a limit of 1 year before we start to feel the heat of global rebuke. If the war can be completed within 6 months, and if we can accurately turn our sites on other real targets, I do believe we will be met with toughened support from our new allies and -- dare I say it? -- peace in the Middle East...
