Bloody crackdowns on Islamist factions in Indonesia, the Philippines, and elsewhere have left al-Qaeda’s traditional allies in the region like Jemmah Islamiyah in weakened states, and have made it difficult for al-Qaeda to maintain close with the groups.
Though officials are touting this as a great success, there are also warnings that new groups which don’t have ties to al-Qaeda are emerging to take their places and, in Indonesia especially, these unaffiliated militant factions are seen as a major threat.
So there is always a hope and chance for US and EU to recruit one or two or perhaps four of these New comers and sending them to UAE or Saudis for further “educations" and then to Syria or Iran or where they needed, is that what you saying Jason…?
“…these unaffiliated militant factions are seen as a major threat.”
Yah, sure. They’re not like our friendly Al-Qaeda we could use. Look how Al-Qaeda has joined the international community (US,UK, France) to topple the Syrian government.
I think there are more than one site admin working at Anti-war and they change shifts. The motherf-cker at this sh-t is a Zionist Jew who does not like my comments, even though this is the first time I use the words ‘Zionist Jew” in my comments.

Oh, boy! And this is how Orwell's vision of Oceania's perpetual war with either Eastasia or Eurasia comes to fruition.
