I don't know enough about Islamic scripture or teaching to know whether or not this actually is actually a jihad or not.

Religion - too often - is used to justify anything.

"Holy war", "Jihad", whatever slogan fits the recruiting propaganda for the less fortunate/intelligent to follow, into another sorry excuse for murdering people.

Just about as bad as the "establishing democracy" rhetoric.

Not sure which is worse; those doing the killing, or those profiting from it.

This may be interesting but it raises a few questions about overlapping loyalties I would like to ask about:

Counter Ideology Operations?.... radical Kurdish factions?... Egypt should invade Libya to put out the fires before they spread (effectively) to its borders?.....

Good grief. No wonder I can't keep up with this stuff anymore.

His solutions appear, to me at least, pretty spot on. Though I'm not sure about the option of Egypt going into Libya to establish order in the region - then again they may have no choice.

Very good article - thanks for sharing.
