#1 Again, RUSSIAN-GEORGIAN CONFLICT/WAR = the US-ALLIES are now in a WAR AGZ RADICAL ISLAMISM FOR THE DE FACTO CONTROL AND DOMINATION OF THE ASIAN MAINLAND [priority], INCLUD ANY "NEAR ABROAD" = LOCAL PERIPHERAL ENCLAVES-AREAS. The Islamists desire both to rebuild and recover from losses received fighting the US = US-Allies in IRAQ-AFGHANISTAN, plus to "hedge" and increase their odds of PAN-ISLAMIST NUCLEARIZATION + STRATEGIC WEAPONIZATION, etc mostly vee PROTECTION AND EMPOWERMENT OF NUKE-AMBITIOUS IRAN, ALREADY NUCLEAR PAKISTAN, MAJOR ASIAN MAFIAS + BLACK MARKETS e.g. DRUG TRADE, + FORCED IMPOSITION OF SYMPATHETIC NEW LOCAL GOVTS-NETWORKS [local anarchy/revolution].

Lest we fergit, UNO > the THIRD WORLD = DEV COUNTRIES, espec in ASIA, are LEADING INTENSIVE INTERNATIONAL EFFORT TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN INDIGENOUS NUCLEAR [Energy?] PROGRAMS.

* TOPIX/IRNA > AHMADINEJAD: US IS TRYING TO SURROUND AND ISOLATE IRAN; + ASIAN MINORITY GROUPS FEAR SPREADING MILITANT ISLAMISM.

* SINO-DEFENSE FORUM > NATO CHIEF: AFGHANISTAN-PAKISTAN BORDER NEEDS TO BE BOLSTERED [protect agz Militant-Terror crossovers].

* WAFF.com > FRANCE AND NATO INTENTIONALLY DECEIVING THE PUBLIC OVER FRENCH COMBAT DEATHS? The Taliban, etc. becom BETTER DISCIPLINED, BETTER ARMED, + GENER MORE COMBAT EFFECTIVE AGZ NATO FORCES???

Also from WAFF > FROM THE CAUCASUS TO THE BALKANS: AN UNSTABLE WORLD ORDER [long, but good article]. Besides [well-reported] RUSSIA-specific instabiliies [anti-US ANGRY RUSSIA, ala GEORGIA], many post-Cold War/USSR lessor Nations espec in ASIA are resorting to DEV DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN POLICIES BASED ON MILITANT LOCAL NATIONALISM IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY ENLARGEMENT OF THEIR NATIONAL TERRITORIES BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

* CHINESE MIL FORUM > Poster Thread > TAI-DUS PREDICTS US ECONOMIC COLLAPSE MAY LEAD TO CHINESE CIVIL WAR!?

I'm trying to watch historically ANTI-WESTERN CHINA's reaction to the new and escalating US-PAKI Truubles, + ISLAMIST THREAT TO WESTERN CHINA [Uighurs], MONGOLIA, SOUTH ASIA, + FORMER SSRS [Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Turkomens].

CHIN NETTERS > opine that iff NORTH KOREA ever becoms destabilized ala KIMMIE's HEALTH PROBS, CHINA SHOULD AND MUST BE THE ONE - AND ONLY ONE -TO TAKE OVER NORTH KOREA [Unilater or as NATION-IN-CHARGE of International Coalition] FROM PYONGYANG, NOT THE US-WESTERN ALLIES NOR US-LED UNSC.

#2 It seems as though any upstart with enough resources to make a car bomb can be called Al-Qaeda now days.

#4 Bring it on. More goat-rapers to kill and allows us to de-infest the rest of Arabic society.

#5 Attacks in Pakistan, Yemen and Mauritania (and even Afghanistan) are not exactly the same as the jihadi heroes attacking the invading unbelievers. What this suggests to me is that Al Qaeda realized they do not actually own the Umma heartland as they had thought when they sent the airplanes into the Twin Towers. But of course, I could be wrong.

#6 The AQ surge consists of escaping from Iraq. All else follows from that.
