About this episode

It's been over 20 years since America launched the War On Terror, and the effort to combat radical Islamic terrorism appears now to be an afterthought.

In this special edition of Hold The Line, we'll take a look at the various theaters in the War on Terror, from Afghanistan to Iraq, and ask the question: is America still fighting?
