| The wave of Islamist terrorism is receding and “could end by 2030,” according to a new long-term assessment by the U.S. intelligence community. In support of that projection, the study released on Monday said the view of America as the “great enemy” was becoming less appealing, resulting in part from the departure of U.S. forces from Iraq and Afghanistan. It also cited political upheavals in the Arab world, and said that a new generation of young Muslims may be less interested in the narrative of a “conflict between fundamental values.” “Several circumstances are ending the current Islamist

Comments: ´The Arab uprisings have demonstrated the moral and strategic legitimacy of nonviolent struggle.´ Really?

If this is the level of "intelligence" emanating from the current experts is it any wonder why the U.S. keeps getting blindsided by world events. These people seems to have left their critical thinking abilities in a jar by the door, submerged in leftist kool-aid.
These Islamists have been waging war on Western civilization for hundreds of years. And to think we can pinpoint the year when it will end?
I´d ask who believes this drivel but I´m afraid the answer is too obvious.

The long term strategy of the Bush/Cheney "War on Terror" had always been to kick the jihadi´s asses, which we did in Iraq by drawing them in by the thousands and killing them on our terms (which was exactly what GWB said we would do in his 9/21/01 address to Congress)thereby making them understand that the U.S. could not be defeated by a bunch of religious fanatics. The goal was to turn Islam against itself with a war between the radical and moderate (ie sane) Muslims - hence the "Arab Spring". 0bama´s abject failure to cultivate the seeds of liberty sown by Bush/Cheney will soon likely see us back to square one, with radical nut-jobs focusing their wrath on us again within a few years ala Benghazi, so I wouldn´t take this report too seriously at all.

From the report: “Soon, U.S. support for Israel could be the last remaining major focus of Muslim anger.”
Taking a global perspective, future terrorists could come from many different religions, including Christianity and Hinduism. Right-wing and left-wing ideological groups – some of the oldest users of terrorist tactics – also will pose threats.”
But hey, at least they reached out and included the views of experts in 20 countries. Okay, to be fair they do at least include the possibility that the ME will go up in flames.

As long as the Arabs believe that Ismael should have gotten the blessing instead of Issac because the handmaiden´s child was first born, and the US is an ally of Israel, there will be no peace.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors.

Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered.

John McCain, who on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” on CBS questioned those Republicans who are threatening a filibuster on pending gun control legislation. Scarborough said such a filibuster would be an example of the GOP putting “rapists’ rights ahead over parents’ rights.” “[I] tell you what, Richard Haass, I saw John McCain there,” Scarborough said. “And I’m hopeful.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.
