If IS didn't exist, the US would have to invent it. (In fact, it did.)

Did you notice the seamless morph from al Qaeda to Taliban to IS?

Did you notice that the US is fighting the war in a way which is guaranteed to strengthen the enemy while losing the fight?

Did you notice that the US has slipped into the right-wing wet dream, perpetual war?

Did you notice that the US economy has morphed into one which is geared toward perpetual war? (Illegal immigrants now perform the work which was the first step toward the American dream, leaving the American lower class nothing except flipping burgers or joining the "voluntary" military?)

Did you notice that Eisenhower's (Congressional), military-industrial complex has taken over the country?

Did you notice how smoothly this has gone, so that now gas is around $4 a gallon, military expenditures are huge, and many are hidden in the form of "contractors", or mercenaries?

Did anyone notice that when push has come to shove Obama has sided with the same interest groups as did either Bush, and those occasions he didn't he got beat up? (Is Guantanamo still open?)
