#3  I don't think anyone here is surprised.

I do think the liberal ninnies and thumbsucking nebishes over in Foggy Bottom are a bit surprised though.

When we we get some reality on Islam?

It was all right there in T.E. Lawrence's "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" for the reading. He called it then for what it was and our State Department acts as if each revelation of the dark face of Islam is a surprise and a new development.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Dupe entry: The new Palestinian tragedy
Palestinians stunned to discover that world, Israel's Left no longer care about them
In an almost desperate bid to counter the new historical trend, pro-Palestinian elements recently attempted to change direction and bring the Palestinian issue back to the agenda, through what they referred to as "Land Day." But they failed.

For dozens of years, Arab regimes dealt with Israel and the Palestinians artificially, in order to hide what went on in their own countries and divert the attention of the Arab masses outwardly. Yet today there is no longer a need for this, as the Arab world's real problems have emerged in force.

And so, from being a major issue, and possibly the main issue, the Palestinians were pushed down to the bottom of the priority list; their Land Day did not receive any substantial coverage, neither in the Arab world nor in the Western world.

Today, when the Muslim Middle East is disintegrating into religions, ethnic groups, minorities and distinct regions, when the slaughter in Syria is merely intensifying (the number of fatalities is already nearing 10,000,) when Libya's militias are killing each other, Yemen is crumbling and Egypt is facing deep trouble, it turns out that relatively speaking, the Palestinian issue is the most stable in the Mideast.

Truth be told, that was always the case, yet for self-interested reasons the situation was distorted by various elements.
The Palestinians encountered another grave calamity: Israel's public opinion lost interest in them. For dozens of years, Israel's leftist camp turned the Palestinians into its defining issue. Yet suddenly the Left discovered that Israel moved on and that the issue is no longer on its agenda. When the Left also discovered that the Palestinians have no interest in peace or negotiations, just like Syria's Assad, it replaced the Palestinian agenda with a new one, premised on social issues like cottage cheese and the tent protest.

#1  The proposed Sino-Thai "Kra Canal" Project, control of any + all International trade flows via Straits of Malaccas, + MALAYO-INDONESIAN CALIPHATE.

Lest we fergit, the GWOT + Islamist Jihad > as much as an INTER-MUSLIM COMPETITION AMONG MAJOR OR HISTORICAL ISLAMIC CENTRES OF THOUGHT + MILPOL POWER, as it is vee Islam/Islamism-vs-Non-Islam.

Pragmatically, 'tis the waging of Jihad WHERE THE US-NATO + GREAT POWERS ARE NOT, or in alternate WHERE THEIR INFLUENCE IS WEAK = NOT WELL/STRONGLY ESTABLISHED.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
The threat from Syrian WMD

#1  Said it before: Search for Amman, truck, bombing, 2004. The Jordanian cops busted it before it went down. It was a big deal. Included poison gas. Now, where did that stuff come from? It's illegal, you know.
One thing you won't find in looking into that is any curiosity--officially and publicly--about the origin.

#2  The United States has offered to help any post-Assad government secure Syria’s stockpiles of chemical weapons and anti-aircraft missiles.

Somehow I seriously doubt this offer will gain the approval of the Assad gov't, the Russians, Chinese, or any emerging Mulsim Brotherhood regime.
