very selective  - the words were 'flickers of al qaeda' presence - and the U.S intelligence guy went on to say he believed it was not significant. Your selective cutting off of the U.S intelligence words just reveals again that we all have ou biases. The outburst from the ip is revealing in another way - in the end I don't resepect that 'you don't understand what you're dealing with' very much - a peaceful march being gunned down by thugs in yellow helmets in Benghazi in 2011, is no different to understanding that event if it happened in croydon in 2011.
