#1 Again, 2008-2012 [2016?] Post-Dubya POTUS Period > ITS CALLED PAN-ISLAMIST NUCLEARIZATION + PROTECTING FUTURE NUCLEARIZED-WEAPNZD IRAN AND ISLMAIST CENTRAL ASIA/ASIA AMAP ASAP AFAP ALAP, such that even iff Iran or even Paki is invaded by the US-Allies, RADICAL ISLAM INCLUD ISLAMIST MILITANT-TERR GROUPS + STATES WILL STILL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF ACQUIRING OWG JIHAD-WINNING, INFIDEL-DEFEATING NUC/MILTECHS.

MILPOL DIALECTICISM aka DECENTRALIZATION > Iff Dubya = USA doesn't wish to attack and invade Islamist Iran = Persia as per the OSAMIAN-MOUDIAN ISLAMIST APOCALYPSE, RADICAL ISLAM WILL USE THE INTERIM TO REBUILD, REARM, AND STRENGTHEN THE JIHAD FOR FUTURE NEW OPS.

As warned long ago, Dubya's critics are beginning to realize that their Hyper-PC, Anti-WOT and Political Posturings, etc. rants are only PUTTING AMER AT GREATER LT DANGER, NOT LESS.

#2 I'm not holding my breath for al-Qaeda success in the Maghreb. First of all, it's in the middle of nowhere, empty, hostile desert. Any people around are hostile to everyone. You cannot enter or leave without being observed.

And lastly, our Special Forces likes to hang out there, and are just about as hostile as it gets.

Their ROE is "kill them".
