War on Terror

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham says we need to bomb ISIS before they come to America and kill us all. He appeared on one of the talking-head news programs to practically beg the President to up the war efforts.

Making a rare threat against the United States, a senior member of Somalia's Islamic insurgent group that has carried out terrorist attacks abroad said Thursday that holy war will come to America and that Islam's flag will one day fly over Washington.

The US may be forced to choose air routes for supplies in and out of Pakistan after protests made the southern land route almost entirely impassable. Air transportation comes with a five to seven times greater cost.

Every clear-thinking American knows that education and jobs are needed more than armed guards in poor neighborhoods. But average Americans are led to believe in a terrorist threat that may or may not exist, and that in any case is greatly exaggerated, while the corporate/military/political complex creates new forms of terror to safeguard the assets of the rich.

Everyone is a potential target in the War on Terror’s lingering “With Us or Against Us” protection racket, and drones are the crooked-nosed enforcers that kill without remorse, without hesitation and without accountability.

A U.S. military official says the Pentagon is considering setting up a drone base in northwest Africa to increase intelligence collection on Islamic militants in the region.
