And not to mention the terrorist agenda is simply unworkable: the idea that al-Qaida could set up a caliphate in the entire Islamic world is absurd. The 20-year plan is based mainly on religious ideas. It hardly has anything to do with reality -- especially phases four to seven.

I agree with the Author. Too many tribal fueds to unite, not to mention the difference between Sunni, Shiite, Kurds, Turks. One and a half billion Muslims will never unite, much less be able to militarily deal with the combined forces of China, Russia, Europe (when they finally wake up) and the US.
