So many fronts in this war. Such unanimity and clarity about the enemy’s motives and goals. And in the U.S., denial, evasion, willful ignorance, pandering and half-measures.
“Al-Qaeda fires rocket on U. S embassy in Yemen, two injured,” AGI, September 27, 2014:
(AGI) Sept 27 – AQAP (al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula), which formed an alliance with ISIS less than one month ago, fired a rocket at the guard post protecting the U.S. embassy in Sana’a, injuring two officers. The attack was carried out after the evacuation order issued by the U.S. State Deparment for all Americans in Yemen. The rocket was fired from a car, 200 metres from the fortified U.S. embassy, with a U.S.-made anti-tank M72 light rocket launcher. . .

What, no mention of anger due to an obscure internet video?

They can target us, and still fight the Shi’a Houthis. It’s all the same war to them.

Indeed. They all hate freedom.

Yeah, everyone who is not with them is a target.

Now don’t ” YOU” go getting a persecution complex, your not allowed, its frowned upon.
You haven’t been properly instructed, its the Muslims that are discriminated against and persecuted.
Don’t do it again.

The tragedy of this war is that the US is broke and relies on international loans to continue daily existence. The need and means to fight are present but the ability financially is lacking and so is the “spirit” to take up the fight. Motivating force seems to be shallow. “Patriotic” endeavors have been belittled and even ridiculed for years. American leadership seems to be at odds with itself. This shows up in the lack of a comprehensive strategy. Ultimately the areas conquered by ISIS will have to reoccupied by its opponents.
