The Islamic State (ISIS), the “Caliphate Project” and the “Global War on Terrorism”

The Al Qaeda legend and the threat of the “Outside Enemy” is sustained through extensive media and government propaganda.
In the post 9/11 era, the terrorist threat from Al Qaeda
constitutes the building block of US-NATO military doctrine. It
justifies –under a humanitarian mandate– the conduct of
“counter-terrorism operations” Worldwide.
Known and documented, Al Qaeda affiliated entities have been used by
US-NATO in numerous conflicts as “intelligence assets” since the heyday
of the Soviet-Afghan war. In Syria, the Al Nusrah and ISIS rebels are
the foot-soldiers of the Western military alliance, which in turn
oversees and controls the recruitment and training of paramilitary
forces.
