To be completely honest many of the ongoing conflicts in the world today are a direct result of one failed US policy or another. The largest issue as I see it is that we have not taken command of our own resources and not only become energy independent. If we had done so and opened up export of these products Russia, China and Saudi Arabia long with the rest of OPEC would not have the strangle hold on the world that they have today. And if we had done so we would have seen an economic recovery not seen for years here at home. This failure like many other policy failures are not accidental but planned to create the chaos needed to restructure the entire world.

Hamas Gunmen Hiding in the Bushes Were Hoping Israeli Surveillance Wouldn’t Spot Them. They Weren’t That Lucky.
The Israeli military released video Monday it said showed a dramatic firefight between Israeli troops and Palestinian terrorists likely on their way to attack an Israeli community near Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces said 10 armed Palestinians emerged on the Israeli side of the border from a Hamas-constructed tunnel early in the morning, apparently hoping the grass would provide them camouflage.
The IDF spokesman’s office said the militants were divided into two squads that infiltrated Israel through the tunnel, which originated in northern Gaza. An Israeli air force jet bombed one of the squads, while the others apparently were killed during the firefight, part of which was shown in the video.
The second squad fired an anti-tank missile at an Israeli military vehicle, Haaretz reported.
Israel said that all 10 Palestinians were killed.
Later Monday, the IDF announced that four Israeli soldiers were killed in the exchange of fire with the Palestinian militants who were disguised as Israeli soldiers. The IDF usually withholds announcing soldier deaths for several hours until all immediate family members are notified.
Israeli media reported that the four soldiers were killed when one of the Hamas fighters fired a rocket-propelled grenade at an IDF jeep. According to the Times of Israel, Hamas simultaneously opened fire on the Gaza side of the border as a diversion tactic.
“We paid a heavy price, but we averted a grave disaster,” said Sami Turgeman, the general who oversees the IDF’s Southern Command. “There is no Iron Dome protection against tunnel infiltration.”
