People, have no doubt that plans have been made and allies have been primed.

Unfortunately, U.S. government agencies are faced with priorities. Decisions must be made as to where we point our assets which means there are lots of holes.

U.S. officials in the Pentagon and intelligence services are now convinced Iran is actively undermining the occupation of Iraq – and doing so through direct collaboration with al-Qaida forces. FM Iran is covertly supporting al-Qaida-aligned terrorists in Iraq, not just anti-American Shiite insurgents, U.S. defense and intelligence sources say with certainty. The acknowledgment of the long-held suspicion as certainty raises the stakes in Iraq and the Persian Gulf as President ...

Key players are fleeing for the private sector and other agencies in droves, even as the bureau struggles to meet post-9/11 standards. Why??? Because of the money!!

Excellent analysis…Pryce-Jones hits all the salient points of our current war with Islam. FM Only a few years ago, mass-murder attacks on the West in the name of Islam, like those of September 11, would have seemed like a thriller writer's fantasy. Nor would anyone have imagined that a bombing by Islamists could swing a general election in a European country, that a Dutch movie-maker might be shot dead on the street for a film about the abuse of women in Islam, or that one might find ...
