War

Taliban abducts 11 after forcing down helicopter.

Canada claims to have thwarted a major terrorist attack with help from the FBI and DHS.

The consequences if NATO intervention in Libya were predictable and predicted, not unintended.
"Honest and responsible Western leaders, professors, and journalists would have warned their citizens that the Islamist Spring would cause Islamist militant organizations – al-Qaeda, its allies, and groups no one had yet heard about – to soon grow larger, more lethal, bolder, more geographically dispersed, and more bitterly opposed to U.S. and Western interventionism than ever before. Instead, those Western leaders knowingly and deliberately lied, applauding the fictitious advent of secular democracy in the Arab world – of which there was never a chance – and, as President Obama likes to say, the substantial receding of the Islamist threat. "
That was probably Obama's intention.
"Why do I argue that the results of the Islamist Spring were knowable at least from the moment it began, and that the events that have occurred since were just as predictable? Well, because I knew and predicted them in such places as lewrockwell.com, antiwar.com, non-intervention.com; the Washington Post, the American Conservative, the National Interest, the BBC World Service, FOX News, and other media outlets. I even suggested the current unrest in Syria in my 2008 book and in a written article. A few others predicted the same things in many of the same places; I certainly had no corner on the market of the blatantly obvious that always eludes Ivy Leaguers."
A well-deserved jab at the Ivy League.
