The More Things Change…
I’ve mentioned A Pattern before, one clearly visible if one doesn’t have their head in the sand, or anal orifice.
Jonn noted well a couple of elements in The Pattern with the post below .
Here’s a coupla more:
U.S. backs move to let Taliban open headquarters in Qatar in the hope of ending war in Afghanistan
Talks to end the 10-year war in Afghanistan could be on the horizon after the U.S. backed a plan to let the Taliban open political headquarters in the Middle East.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is likely to open a base in Qatar before Christmas, The Times said.
It is hoped this will help facilitate peace talks which could lead to a truce with the Taliban.
Then good ol’ Muqi is tuning up his fiddle as well.
BAGHDAD -An anti-American cleric is urging his followers to stop attacking U.S. troops in Iraq so that their withdrawal from the country isn’t slowed down, a call meant to ramp up pressure on Baghdad’s political leaders who are considering asking some American forces to stay.
In a statement posted on his website, Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr told his militias to halt attacks against U.S. forces till the withdrawal is finished at the end of the year as required under a security agreement between Washington and Baghdad.
“Out of my desire to complete Iraq’s independence and to finish the withdrawal of the occupation forces from our holy lands, I am obliged to halt military operations of the honest Iraqi resistance until the withdrawal of the occupation forces is complete,” al-Sadr said in the statement, posted late Saturday. Sadrist lawmaker Mushraq Naji confirmed the statement on Sunday.
So we have The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and al-Sadr in Iraq striving to bring peace and love to their occupied, war torn lands.
What could possibly go wrong?

“What could possibly go wrong?”
Well, it’s a short list and involves the words Sharia and Caliphate toward the beginning. Terror and Jihad toward the middle. And, something involving Marines and ass-kicking toward the end…
So, let’s just skip to the end of the book and send in the Jarheads to beat them down and call it a day.
We should get all the troops out of the middle east (including Saudi Arabia), and drill, baby, drill for oil within our own borders. Let those camel humpers kill each other and degenerate back to the inter-tribal warfare where they came from – without our US petro-dollars. The only area we need to support is Israel.
With Iran in the middle, Turkey pushing to be rulers of the caliphate, and several countries now on board.
