Islamists, Africa, Iran And Nukes, Oh My!

Not exactly what you want to read to brighten your day.

But, once you put the pieces together, they fit. It's been obvious for some time that al Qaeda is seeking to make Africa its home, in a big way. They need a base of operations as they are being pushed from Afghanistan and Iraq.

And Africa has the bonus of Uranium. Sounds like a terrorists dream, doesn't it? It's inevitable that we, or someone has to seriously confront the Islamists in Africa eventually.

The sooner the better, considering the stakes.

You seem to be confused about just who is being pushed out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

And you seem to be confused as well.

It is not so much 'who' as 'what' is being pushed out.

You will wake up one day, in the not too distant future, and find yourself in a state of shock.

You will demand an answer to this question ...

"Who was asleep at the wheel"?

That would be you.
