Keep your Fear out and handy for: “The White Men of Waziristan”

FEAR has a new face. The western population is in perpetual FEAR of brown skinned peoples, so time for a New Face of Fear to keep the War on Terror Citizen Involvement Fear-O-Meter pegged at 100%:

Fears grow of terrorist with ‘an American face’

"“There is no bigger worry for the U.S. counterterrorism community than young Caucasian men who have turned to al-Qaida,” said Roger Cressey, former National Security Council official in the Clinton and Bush administrations and now an NBC News consultant."

"More than anything else, it’s what one counterterrorism official calls “the white men of Waziristan” that worries officials."

Wow. No bigger worry. White Men are the new Boogey Men. No wonder TSA treats Everyone like a terrorist-until-proven-innocent. The majority of the two million folks they see every day are the dreaded White Men of Waziristan.

"“Perhaps the most pressing security challenge for the next administration is how to deal with the al-Qaida safe haven in Pakistan,” said Cressey."

Memo to November's winner: That there Pakistan is over next to Afghanistan, a LOOOOOOGGGG way from Iraq. Finishing up OBL in Waziristan five years ago would make the US safer than invading Iraq. What a concept, invade the guy who DID do 9/11 and not the one who DID NOT.

I have to go look in the mirror and Fear Myself. Government Orders.
