Wednesday, July 13, 2005 Al Qaeda is Becoming a Global Insurgency At least Wes Clark sees the BIG picture: "But fighting terrorism at home isn't just a matter of "killing terrorists." Terrorists aren't born that way. They are created by their interaction w/ their surroundings. To win this war, we must defeat the ideology of terrorism, depriving angry young people of their ability to justify their hateful actions in the name of Allah." And it appears that Clark is not the only one who sees what a failure Bush's Neo-Con strategy has been: An AP survey of longtime students of international terrorism finds they believe that al Qaeda is mutating into a global insurgency, a 21st-century movement which will be technologically astute & almost leaderless. And the way out is far from clear. Michael Scheuer (ex-CIA analyst) said that rather than move toward solutions, the US took a big step backward by invading Iraq. He said, “we’re at the point where jihad is self-sustaining,” where Islamic “holy warriors” in Iraq fight the US and UK with or w/out allegiance to al Qaeda’s bin Laden. Nice... my baby girl's grandkids will be thanking Bush & his gang of bloodthirsty Neo-Cons for driving the entire world off the fucking cliff. |
