This is an I-Heart podcast.

On this episode of News World, during an interrogation in Afghanistan, when asked how long the

jihadist intended to fight, a Taliban commander uttered the words, If it takes a thousand years.

This chilling statement illustrates both how terrorists at this level operate

and the generational approach they take when it comes to bringing destruction to the world.

The West is facing a determined enemy with a fundamentally different worldview.

In his new book,

if it takes a thousand years from al-Qaeda to Hamas,

how the jihadists think and how to defeat them,

former army captain Jesse Petrilla provides unique insight into the jihadist mind,

featuring interviews with Taliban and al-Qaeda members

just after their capture,

interviews with international journalists and professors, warnings from European politicians,

as well as experiences from his travels throughout this London world.

I am really pleased to welcome my guest, former Army Captain Jesse Petrilla.

He served as a civilian advisor to the U.S. Department of State and was a liaison officer

in the Army to the Afghan secret police facilitating the interrogations of over 400 captured Taliban

and al-Qaeda members.
