I don’t want a holiday in the sun
I wanna go to the new Belsen
I wanna see some history
Cause now I got a reasonable economy – The Sex Pistols, Holidays in the Sun
Jihadis of the world, unite; you have nothing to lose but your stage fright. After Bosnia, Chechnya and Afghanistan, the West has fallen in love with you all over again – big time.
As if any extra proof was needed, here it is – straight from the mouth of the US establishment, as personified by the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR). [1]
How lovely to learn that “Free Syrian Army (FSA) batallions are tired, divided, chaotic, an ineffective. Feeling abandoned by the West, rebel forces are increasingly demoralized … Al-Qaeda fighters, however, may help improve morale. The influx of jihadis brings discipline, religious fervor, battle experience from Iraq, funding from Sunni sympathizers in the Gulf, and most importantly, deadly results. In short, the FSA needs al-Qaeda now”.
