'What we need is not a martial plan for the 20th century, what we need is a new plan for the 21st century,' Mr. Kerry said." (Is it unfair to the WT that its correspondent didn't know the difference between "martial" and "Marshall"? Well, ok, Marshall was a general ...)
NB. Note the following, also from the WT: "President Trump can and should adopt a Marshall Plan to reshape the hearts and minds of children indoctrinated by extremists.
