Pentagon Bulks Up Yemen’s Arsenal as Shadow War Grows

mattbologna — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 20:16:21 +0000

Just because the current administration shies away from using the term “Global War on Terror,” doesn’t mean that ain’t what it is.

Our escalating commitments and kinetic efforts in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia comprise a trend toward greater military involvement in new theaters.

This increase in entanglement is sure to produce the commensurate increase in retaliation and recruiting on the part of Al Qaeda affiliates and other militant groups. The GWOT is heating up, not cooling down. All this raises, in my opinion, the likelihood of another attack on the homeland.
