"Jordan's theory explains why it never seems to make a difference when the US government announces that it's killed an al-Qaeda #2 or #3. This happens pretty often: as The Onion once put it, "Eighty percent of al-Qaeda no. 2's now dead." Yet somehow al-Qaeda's core leadership has survived and remained relevant."Not surprising. The drone decapitation strategy is a political strategy.
"There's no obvious connection between number of decapitation strikes and a reduction in al-Qaeda violence in any of the four theaters she examined. The data supports the theory: al-Qaeda seems pretty resilient in the face of decapitation strikes."
North and South Korean warships fire at each other. Fortunately both have terrible aim and the shells missed.
Evidence US behind Libyan coup.
"It’s just a coincidence that Gen. Khalifa Hifter (sometimes spelled Hiftar) launched his Libyan coup only four days after the US deployed 200 troops to Sicily – a "crisis response team" sent at the State Department’s request. Another coincidence: US-backed Gen. Hifter lived in Washington, D.C. for decades, a few convenient miles from the CIA’s Langley headquarters."Here we go again.

You would think that if government could get one thing right, it would be securing nuclear weapons. It failed.
The conflict in Egypt has reached civil war status.
"Unbowed by a savage crackdown, Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood promises a war of attrition against the army chief who ousted it from power and appears certain to win next week's election."The US is setting the world on fire.
