#1 "Still violent extremists intent on coming back" > Agreement to Point.

2008-2012 POTUS Period > NO US-IRAN WAR + PAN-ISLAMIST NUCLEARIZATION-STRATWEAPONZN = Islamist Priority during this phase is MORE DIPLOMACY + PUBLIC RELATIONS, ETC. THAN VIOLENCE. IRAN + even MANY MAJOR MILITANT-TERR GROUPS would prefer to keep a LOW-PROFILE AMAP ALAP, even though Local-Regional Mil-TerrOPs will likely contin to take place. ISLAMIST PROB DURING NUCLEARIZATION >
"INDEPENDENT" MIL-TERR ACTION(S) WHICH INDUCES/RESULTS IN A RETALIAT MAJOR ATTACK AGZ IRAN + NUCDEVFACS [includ Paki] BY THE US ANDOR ISRAEL.

Recall similarities as per POST-1972 XMAS BOMBING, US-NVN TREATY, + WATERGATE-FOCUSED NIXON ADMIN > NVN kept a low, Diplo-Correct international profile, whilst "IN-PLACE" NVA-VC Units [by Treaty] already inside South Vietnam conducted random limited attacks while also building up for future new offensives [1975 Fall of Saigon].

RADICAL ISLAM ISN'T DONE WID IRAQ JUST YET. HOPEFULLY THE IGA WILL USE THIS LULL WISELY TO PREPARE FOR FUTURE NEW ISLAMIST RESPONSES WHICH THEY KNOW WILL COME.

#2 REMINDER > Despite its HYPERPOWER GLOBAL POTENCY, US-led/specific CONTROL-DOMIN of desired future OWG-NWO is NOT YET ASSURED, while PRESENTLY LOSING, SIMIL OWG-MINDED, RADICAL ISLAM IS NOT YET ABSOL OR THOROUGHLY DEFEATED, EVEN WITHIN IRAQ.

DESPITE RHETORIC TO THE CONTRARY, IMB NO SIDE OR CAMP, ANY AND ALL, DESIRES "STALEMATE" + COLD WAR-STYLE "MUTUAL COEXISTENCE".
