John Howard, former PM of Australia : 
"... so on that criterion, the mission, whatever may be said of it, has not been a failure."    

Leigh Sales : 
"Well, if you look, though, broadly at what the War on Terror achieved : Iraq, disaster; Afghanistan, disaster; terrorism morphed and changed; and we have seen more terrorist attacks around the world, regardless of where they originated from; we’ve seen home grown terror motivated by the ideologies of ISIS and so on. The War on Terror was supposed to make the world a safer place and again, by that yardstick, the War on Terror was a failure, wasn't it?"   

John Howard : 
"Well, you’re changing the yardstick."
