#1 Wow...two Mullah Krekar posts in one day! Personally, I think he's missing an awfully good chance to keep quiet, piously pontificating from the safety and comfort of fjord-land while his jihadis prepare his caliphdom.

This article was very interesting and IMHO backs up the "flypaper" theory, as seen in this quote:

"All previous experiences with the activities of the underground organizations proved that they flourish in countries with a chaotic security situation, unchecked borders and the lack of a central government — Iraq is all that," said Muhammad Salah, an expert on militant groups and the Cairo bureau chief of the newspaper Al Hayat. "It is the perfect environment for fundamentalist groups to operate and grow."

Perhaps the Marines can help them tend their garden just a bit. I'm sure Rantburghers can point out some of the most noxious weeds...
