“It’s now official – coming from the mouth of the lion, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey, and duly posted at the AFRICOM site, the Pentagon’s weaponized African branch. Exit ‘historical’ al-Qaeda, holed up somewhere in the Waziristans, in the Pakistani tribal areas; enter al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). In Dempsey’s words, AQIM ‘is a threat not only to the country of Mali, but the region, and if… left unaddressed, could in fact become a global threat.’ With Mali now elevated to the status of a ‘threat’ to the whole world, GWOT is proven to be really open-ended.”
