Duquesne is really un-hip:
The war in Iraq will not be won just by shedding the blood of terrorists, but by overcoming the mindset that produces them, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency said Friday in Pittsburgh.
Speaking at Duquesne University’s commencement, Gen. Michael V. Hayden, a North Side native and Duquesne graduate, said the war on terror “won’t be won strictly by killing and capturing terrorists.”
“Operations like that are necessary, and we will continue to do them aggressively, effectively, and within the law. But as necessary and appropriate as they are, they are not sufficient to achieve the peace and security we want for our country and the world.
“Over the long term, peace and security rest on winning the ideological side of this war — the War of Ideas. We must defeat the world view responsible for producing terrorists who hate America and the principle that we and our partners share.”
Is it safe to assume that Duquesne didn’t give Michael Moore or Cindy Sheehan an honorary doctorate?
