37. Yes, and all the weapons we and other nations have flooded into the area

Inevitably, they have ended in the hands of those who are the new heads of the Hydra and they are using them to horrific effect.

And more keeps pouring in.

Also, since many of these new Hydra heads are from western nations, there is now a rise in articles about them likely spreading the terror back to their home nations, in Europe and here. It reminds me of the memo about Bin Laden being determined to strike, even the timing of it.

We all, here and here, keep paying the cost of imperialism and PNAC machinations, while a few increase their bank accounts with the blood money from this.

And the people who have been saying we need to shift our response to change the outcome keep getting ignored.
