Former Vice Chief Of Staff Of The U.S. Army: al-Qaeda Has ‘Grown Fourfold In The Last Five Years’

PJ Media: General Tells Senators al-Qaeda Has ‘Grown Fourfold in Last Five Years’



WNU Editor: With the exception of FOX News and a few blogs .... no one is covering this incredibly important story. But the best part of Gen Keane's (Ret.) testimony today was the following ....



.... “U.S. policymakers choose to ignore the very harsh realities of the rise of radical Islam. In my view, we became paralyzed by the fear of adverse consequences in the Middle East after fighting two wars. Moreover, as we sit here this morning, in the face of radical Islam, U.S. policymakers refuse to accurately name the movement as radical Islam. We further choose not to define it, nor explain its ideology, and most critical, we have no comprehensive strategy to stop it or defeat it.”



Yup .... ever since I started this blog 7+ years ago .... I still do not understand what is the U.S. strategy to combat radical Islamic groups like Al Qaeda and their affiliates ... and neither does former Gen. Keane himself who spent years waging war against these groups.
