An excellent article. Please read the whole thing. This is among the author’s many pertinent comments:
So why are American politicians not blowing the whistle on Obama’s suicidal policies?
Because their myopia and inability to see beyond today—beyond their tenure—has not changed since September 11, 2001. Just as it took over a decade after al-Qaeda’s creation to launch the 9/11 attacks—a time of ostensible peace and calm for the U.S., a time of planning and training for the jihadis—it will take time for the new jihadi storm to pour on America.
And that’s the era we’re currently in: the calm before the storm. Just as before 9/11, today’s American leaders focus only on the moment—a moment when the U.S appears relatively safe—never considering the future or the inevitable consequences of a woefully counterproductive U.S. foreign policy.
Playing footsie is a dangerous game, yet we and our leaders, e.g, Senator McCain among others, persist.
By Raymond Ibrahim – “On this Memorial Day, it’s important to remember that the very same U.S. policies that created al-Qaeda in Afghanistan in the 1980s—leading to the horrific attacks of 9/11—are today allowing al-Qaeda to metastasize all around the Muslim world. As in the 80s, these new terrorist cells are quietly gathering strength now, and are sure to deliver future terror strikes that will make 9/11 seem like child’s play.
To understand this dire prediction, we must first examine the United States’ history of empowering Islamic jihadis—only to be attacked by those same jihadis many years later—and the chronic shortsightedness of American policymakers, whose policies are based on their brief tenure, not America’s long-term wellbeing.
In the 1980s, the U.S. supported Afghani rebels—among them the jihadis—to repel the Soviets. Osama bin Laden, Ayman Zawahiri, and countless foreign jihadis journeyed to Afghanistan to form a base of training and planning—the…

All of this in one generation. And we are the ones who had to watch it go down. Could we have done more?

“And now in Syria, Obama is, once again, supporting foreign jihadis, who make up 95% of Syria’s so-called ‘opposition.’ ”
But, John McCain said only a small percentage of the rebels are jihadis.
What percent do you think are jihadists? I have no idea and doubt that Senator McCain does either because during his short visit he had no way to find out.
Remember it was the execrable McCain(you will never again see me refer to McCain without that particular epithet) who lambasted and threw in with the media protection racket to protect Hilary’s Islamist shill chief of staff from scrutiny from the congressional 5 lead by Michelle Bachmann.
The Execrable McCain has become an apologist for Islamist infiltration and the a prime exponent of the PC whitewash of what can only be interpreted as a 7th century supremacist death cult.
For your reading pleasure a McCarthyist(no not that McCarthy- Andrew) take down of the Execrable and Egregious Sultan of Stupid John McCain
