This is what he said:
In its place is a far more sober, pragmatic recognition that drone strikes
terrorism is are a perpetual irritant, and that while it is tragic and emotionally lacerating, they kills relatively few people and is not any kind of existential threat. Perhaps we're learning to avoid being sucked into drone strikes are bad
[s]terrorism's radicalising [/s]vortex, where attack brings overreaction, and the violence rapidly escalates. And perhaps the media have been so stung by the embarrassment of Paris, London, Busseles
Oslo that they have recognised the virtue in shutting up occasionally.
