What began as retaliation for 9/11, the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil, the war on terror—so dubbed by then-President George W. Bush—is now two decades old, with no end in sight.
, correspondents who've covered the conflict took time to reflect on what they've seen over the last two decades. ABC News' Martha Raddatz, Pierre Thomas, James Longman, Ian Pannell and Bob Woodruff share their thoughts here.
"Almost every single thing that I have ever done over the last 20 years has been directly or indirectly related to what we now call the 'war on terror,'" Pannell said.ABC News' Ian Pannell reports from the road to Taliban territory in Afghanistan, May 2021. What followed in the months to come was a wave of panic and crisis management led by Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
"When you heard President Bush talk about, 'You're either with us or against us,' that's what stuck out to me," Raddatz said."You're with us or against us? What does that really mean? "It was Afghanistan. It was bin Laden, al Qaeda, the Taliban. It was just that," Pannell told ABC News."But then, it started to be about Saddam Hussein, about weapons of mass destruction that became threats, to North Korea. It became radicalism, jihadism. It became about ISIS."
