Inside Bin Laden’s Bookshelf: The CIA Files Global War on Terror: Unpacking U.S. Policy Flaws | 1x25

In this episode of *While We Were Distracted*, we take a deep dive into another fascinating book from Osama Bin Laden’s bookshelf, *Bounding the Global War on Terrorism* by Dr. Jeffrey Record. Was the U.S.'s approach to the war on terror flawed from the start? We explore Dr. Record's critical assessment of U.S. military strategy, including the overly broad definition of terrorism and the dangers of engaging in conflicts with unclear goals. We also discuss how these critiques may have influenced Bin Laden's worldview and the unintended consequences of U.S. foreign policy decisions.

Join us as we question the strategic missteps that shaped the Global War on Terror and whether it fueled more conflict than it resolved.
