I think Reilly's simile is erroneous. The current policy is like saying during World War II that we are fighting an expansionist, aggressive regime based on an ideology of oppression, racism, denial of human rights, and glorification of violence -- without mentioning Nazism (or Communism, its equivalent for the Cold War era). After all, the USG does mention individual leaders of jihadist terrorist groups, just not the ideology their acts are based upon.
