Washington -- Capping a 15-month effort, a group of non-government political and security experts have issued a new report designed to help American political leaders grapple with future uncertainties arising in Russia, China, Japan, India and the Middle East.

"Global Trends 2015: A Dialogue About the Future with Nongovernmental Experts" predicts that there will be a greater number of actors on the world stage to challenge, check and reinforce U.S. leadership, including China, Russia, India, Mexico and Brazil; regional forums such as the European Union; as well as strong multinational corporations and non-profit groups.

On the subject of anti-U.S. terrorism, the report says most of it will be based on "perceived ethnic, religious or cultural grievances" with terrorists trying to find ways to continue attacking U.S. military and diplomatic institutions and private symbols of America. Terrorist tactics will become more sophisticated and lethal, according to the analysts. However, international cooperation will likely be effective in countering terrorism.

1. international cooperation will likely be effective in countering terrorism

Well Bush sure has helped here. He is so good at cooperating with other nations. NOT!

2. * could easily claim that indeed he has

He could claim that his new strategy against terrorism was precisely looking for "international cooperation" by trying to bring the Taliban "back into the community of stable nations", and thus get them to turn over and stop "harboring" terrorists. Then, and only then, when that did not work, they planned to invade. However, "it seems that fate has lent a hand" ...

And so forth. It is plausible. SO we need to figure out how to counter this kind of thing, and anything else they are going to squirm to, and fast.

4. And if he had the audacity to make such a claim how would he back it up?

:shrug: What did he do to get the international community to accept the Taliban into the world community?

5. Well, how about the $43 Million?

He was trying to bring the Taliban to the table with $$$, which I guess could have worked. Use his connections, etc., which he brings to the table. I think it could be a plausible case.

Anyway, I am mostly playing Devil's Advocate because I truly believe that the * Administration has an answer already connived up. For most any revelation. Does not mean they will work, but I think we should spend a little time trying to figure what their next step would be.

3. * could easily claim that indeed he has

Somehow got two of these out there.
