Title: Is it Time to End America’s Longest War?

The White House's push for another 10 years (at least) in Afghanistan could
make waves.
The administration is pushing for a security deal with the Afghan government
that would allow U.S. troops to stay there until 2024 and beyond. According to
details obtained by NBC News recently, Afghan officials want 10,000 to 15,000
U.S. troops to stay, whereas U.S. officials are considering 7,000 to 8,000.
These troops would not be barred from combat operations against any group deemed
an al-Qaida "affiliate."
By any definition, this is 10 more years of war, no matter what the White House
says. If President Barack Obama proposed sending 8,000 troops to Syria, where
they would carry out combat operations, any rational person would rightly see
that as launching a war. The same is true of another decade in Afghanistan,
should the security pact be finalized.

Title: Are Iraq and Afghanistan on the Brink?

A rejuvenated
al-Qaeda-affiliated force asserted control over the western Iraqi city of
Fallujah on Friday, raising its flag over government buildings and declaring an
Islamic state in one of the most crucial areas that U.S. troops fought to pacify
before withdrawing from Iraq two years ago.
The capture of Fallujah came amid an explosion of violence across the western
desert province of Anbar in which local tribes, Iraqi security forces and
al-Qaeda-affiliated militants have been fighting one another for days in a
confusingly chaotic three-way war.
Elsewhere in the province, local tribal militias claimed they were gaining
ground against the al-Qaeda militants who surged into urban areas from their
desert strongholds this week after clashes erupted between local residents and
the Iraqi security forces.

In today’s Urban Guerilla
Warfare, if we discover which Mosques are inflaming the Jihadists, should we
bomb them? There is no easy answer to that. There are 2 billion Muslims in the
world. How do you know who is “good” and who is “bad”?
One possible solution is using drones to target Imam Preachers who preach “kill
the Jews, kill the Christians”. There is a small percentage of Muslims who spew
this hate, but it only takes a few to harm many.
