Here's where you can start, Ward:

Fix us up Werner. Please tell us the solution,

I wonder how the ISIS attack on US soil will take shape...just a matter of time now

Has anyone here expressed support for Obama?

I do. I think he has this exactly right. Enough bombs to discouraage them from making a run at our interests in Baghdad and Erbil and let the remainder of the Middle East, finally, get the religion it craves.

Since the civil war erupted in neighboring Syria in 2011, hundreds of Jordanians have joined a Sunni Islamist-led insurgency against President Bashar Assad. More than 2,000 men, ranging from underprivileged youths to doctors and - in one case - an air force captain, have abandoned Jordan for jihad in Syria, according to Islamists close to the subject.

At least 250 of them have been killed there.

But the Islamic State's recent accomplishments are helping to galvanize support like never before among radical Islamists who dream of erasing borders across the Muslim world to establish a pan-Islamic nation.

Saudi Arabia is increasingly feeling the heat of the Sunni hardline blowback. While the Saudi government technically doesn’t sponsor Isis, it has promoted a fundamentalist Salafi interpretation of Islam that has encroached into the mainstream Sunni space. This has created the conditions, inside and outside the country, for extremism to breed.

The clergy is a powerful force in Saudi Arabia. Its influence derives from the fact that the royal family has entered into a formal pact with the sheikhs, under which the understanding is that the House of Saud can hold on to political power, while the religious establishment gets to dictate the national character of Saudi Arabia, one that has remained doggedly extreme. This vision has also been exported abroad by both state and non-state actors, the former as a clumsy substitute for a coherent foreign policy, by which the Saudi government contributes funds for mosques and charitable organisations in Muslim countries as a way of purchasing influence; the latter via personal wealth and the zeal of private citizens.

Mohamad Hijazi, Hifter’s spokesman, described the withdrawal of his forces from their camps in Benghazi as a strategic move. However, medical sources, including the Libyan Red Crescent, said that they found at least 75 bodies, mostly soldiers in the National Army faction led by Hifter, whose control was restricted to Tobruk city and some areas in Benghazi.

The Red Crescent found more than 50 bodies inside the camp that was emptied by Al-Saiqa forces. Sources in the city's hospitals reported they had received 25 bodies.

Sources close to Hifter pointed out the weakening of the eastern Libyan tribes as the reason why Hifter’s forces failed to stand their ground. Moreover, the source said that these tribes were mistaken to bet on a call to stop the fighting, launched by Mustafa Abdel Jalil, the former president of the interim council who was appointed mediator between the fighting parties.
