The sources gave the names of some of the Canadians undergoing training. These could not be independently verified and include: Jeam Paull (local name Sadiq Ullah), Leman Langlois (Sana Ullah), James Richard (Abdur Rehman), Otto Paul (Abu Usman), Thomas (Abdullah) and Paul Gall (Hafiz Ullah).
Various militants of other nationalities are also being trained in North Waziristan, probably the most lawless part of Pakistan. Apart from Arab and Central Asian militants, one can find jihadis from the United States, Britain and Germany.
In October 2010, eight foreigners were killed in a US drone attack in the region. These included: Brusly (local name Fayaz), Gagarin Gill (Siraj), Smith (Jamal), Anderson (Waqas), Peterson (Shaheen), Walsh (Mustafa), Johnson (Wisal) and Peterson McKenzie (Usman). Prior to this attack, in September 2010 a senior German militant named Abdul Ghaffar was killed in a drone strike.
On December 15, 2010, another drone missile killed two Britain nationals in Darpakhel. They were identified as Stephen, age 48, and Darry Smith, aged 25. Stephen (Abu Bakkar), after converting to Islam, went to Afghanistan in 2009 and joined al-Qaeda. He was accompanied by the slain Smith (Mansoor Ahmed).
“End alliance with Israel”
That will trigger the end of the United States.
“Washington has been in a confrontation with the Islamic world” There’s the problem. We’ve been “after” a very small percentage of fanatic Muslims. Besides we’ve been assisted in our efforts by other Muslims.
The man is either an idiot or a fool. On second thought, possibly both.
What? No barf alert??? ...................... FRegards
Wrong George. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the past, present, and future supreme power in the middle east, the US, and everywhere else in the universe and beyond. Iran and it's Islamic cohorts are nothing more than minor speedbumps on the way to fulfillment of His plan for Israel's future, and they will be utterly destroyed if they so much as lay a hand on His chosen people. Never the less, in league with Russia and several other Islamic nations named in scripture, at some point they will attack Israel. The result of that unwise attack will be the total destruction of the aggressors armed forces. (Ezekiel 38:1-23)
Israel is the apple of God's eye, (Zechariah 2:8) and it is now back in a small portion of the land God promised to it's father Abraham (Genesis 15:18) After 2500 years of exile in the gentile world, present day Israel currently occupies only a mere smidgen of the vast territory promised to father Abraham, "from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates" Gen 15:18. But during the millennial reign of Messiah Jesus on His human forefather David's throne in Jerusalem, Israel will finally take possession of all it's promised land and will posses it forever. That's just as promised to Abraham by the only entity in the universe for whom it is impossible to lie or break a promise.

The tardbutt has to learn to parse. Toes first, feet, then salami-sliced up to the neck. See how simple that is?
Thanks s30mki.
I have always been underwhelmed by Stratfor’s analysis.
Funny. I’ve been advocating Israel ending its ties with the US.
By what means....Magic?
I've read and listened to George Friedman for many years.
Ususally on target, but how does one stop an addict on the road to perdition?
Mr. George Friedman: It's not always about power, its about values.
Unless and until Islam changes, or its people abandon it, the core values that have brought destruction to Pakistan will continue to destroy it.
That goes for the rest of the Islamic world, which is imploding: Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon are imploding as I write.
Egypt may well be next, and Saudi Arabia after the King dies.
We have no power over this.
It is the values of their culture, derived from their religion, that is bringing destruction.
Why does India need "counrterbalancing"?
India is no longer in the camp of the USSR, and is is on target to become a leading trading partner of the US, and is THE WORLD LARGEST DEMOCRACY.
George Friedman is way off base on this one.
This is EXACTLY what Europe told itself as it started on the road to Eurabia.
With the same results.
The next step will be millions, and I mean Millions, of immigrants from the Islamic world.
Some kind of deal is in the process of being made, probably at the Bilderberg conference, and we will we not recognize this country in our life time, if we follow this policy.
That explains a lot.
Haha, Worst idea in the history of bad ideas.. so he wants to dump an ally(Israel) and screw over a prospective ally (India). Is it any wonder that India and Israel are doing join defense research and trade and at the same time upping their relationship?
This statement from Friedman isn’t simply a bolt out of the blue. Its is a long standing US foreign policy that is brought back into effect. Bush’s legacy to befriend India is being completely reversed. And I highly doubt it has anything to do with Saudi money. We very much underestimate America’s need to curry favor with Muslim countries.
