Badness Personified
Thomas Joscelyn — The Weekly Standard
On September 4, the Taliban announced that Jalaluddin Haqqani had “passed away after a long battle with illness.” A notorious jihadist who was one of Osama bin Laden’s earliest and closest allies, Haqqani had long been a recluse, with rumors swirling that he left the land of the living some years ago. But if the Taliban is telling the truth, then Haqqani died only recently. The terrorist organization he built lives on, however, and it has more influence today than ever. And a brief look at Haqqani’s career helps to explain how al Qaeda survived America’s relentless post-9/11 counterterrorism campaign... Read more

Michael Rubin | AEIdeas
After months of delays, Iraq is finally moving forward with the formation of its new government. On September 15, the new Iraqi parliament selected Mohammed al-Halbousi to be speaker. While some Western analysts dismissed him as an Iranian choice, they miss the broader point that Iraqi party lists are increasingly religiously diverse

Giving air-defense system to Syria threatens broader war

Russian defense minister's response to losing a surveillance plane to Syrian fire last week could spark a dangerous flare-up

James Jeffrey, the State Department’s special representative to Syria, insists that does not necessarily mean keeping U.S. military “boots on the ground.” Arab allies and local proxy forces backed by U.S. air power could replace the roughly 2,000 American troops deployed there as the administration begins a new push for the “removal of all Iranian-commanded forces from the entirety of Syria,” Jeffrey said late last week. - Washington Examiner

TRUMP'S FOREIGN POLICY SUCCESS & GETTING "WOKE" ON THE GREAT DANGER

9/20/2018

Chaos or not, Trump has a record of foreign policy success
Marc A. Thiessen | The Washington Post
When President Trump was elected in 2016, many worried that he would usher in a new age of American isolationism and withdrawal. Instead, Trump has pursued a foreign policy that is not isolationist and also a significant improvement over his predecessor’s.

U.S. Foreign Policy Faces Grave Danger, Part 1
by Alvin Rabushka via Thoughtful Ideas
This is the first in a series of posts explaining why. Before laying out the argument, let’s backtrack to the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria. How many politicians, generals, diplomats, and prominent experts in universities and think tanks, some serving in the Bush and Obama administrations, would claim in late 2018 that these military operations were successful?

AL-QAEDA FRUSTRATES US LED EFFORTS WITH TALIBAN

9/20/2018

Al Qaeda reaffirmed its support for the Afghan Taliban, complicating America’s strategy to pursue a negotiated settlement in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda General Command reiterated its bayat (pledge of allegiance) to Taliban emir Haibatullah Akhundzada and recognized him as emir al mumineen (Commander of the Faithful) in a eulogy for Jalaluddin Haqqani. Al Qaeda-linked groups in South Asia and Syria released similar eulogies praising the late leader of the Haqqani Network.

Pakistan continues to harbor Taliban, including al Qaeda-linked Haqqanis
According to a new report by the State Department, the Afghan Taliban and its Haqqani Network are still "operating in Pakistan-based safe havens and threatening U.S. and Afghan forces in Afghanistan." Pakistan has assisted the US in counterterrorism operations against al Qaeda. However, by refusing to move against the Taliban, including the Haqqanis, Pakistan is harboring al Qaeda's most important allies in the region.

UPDATE ON SYRIA: ASSAD IS WINNING

9/19/2018

Assad wants to recover “every inch” of Syria and is already militarily on top. Finishing off the Idlib rebels would take him closer to victory, help secure Aleppo from attack and open roads to the coast and Damascus. - Reuters

Michael O’Hanlon & Steven Heydemann write: As government forces close in on Idlib province in northern Syria, a catastrophe looms for the roughly 3 million Syrians living there. […] The United States must take a stand. We can’t reverse the course of the war, but we can at least take action to ensure that the people of Idlib are spared the worst — even if this entails some unpalatable moral compromises. - Washington Post

Thomas Donnelly writes: That the Assad regime survives at all is something of a wonder, after seven years of bloody war arising from relatively small and peaceful protests in January 2011. The process of survival, however, has cost Assad much of his autonomy, mortgaged to Russia and, especially, Iran. Indeed, what is emerging from Baghdad to Damascus is a kind of “Larger Lebanon,” where Tehran-backed Shia militias, created in the image of Hezbollah, hold the keys to the kingdoms. - The Weekly Standard

Khan is accompanied by Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Finance Minister Asad Umar as well as his adviser on commerce Abdul Razak Dawood. The delegation is due to leave for the United Arab Emirates tonight. Both countries host many Pakistani guest workers whose remittances provide Islamabad with a key source of foreign currency.

DEMILITARIZED ZONES IN SYRIA

Erdogan and Putin agree to a Syria DMZ

Russia and Turkey strike deal to avert Idlib offensive
Russia and Turkey struck a deal on Monday to avert a looming Syrian regime assault on the last rebel stronghold in Idlib. The deal calls for the creation of a demilitarized buffer zone between government forces and rebels by Oct. 15. Under the deal, reached following a meeting in Sochi between President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Russia and Turkey will jointly patrol the buffer zone. According to Putin, the deal requires rebel groups to pull out their heavy weaponry while “radically minded rebels” like the al-Qaeda-linked Hayat Tahrir al-Sham must withdraw from Idlib. Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif praised the deal, citing Tehran’s “intensive” diplomacy with Moscow and Ankara in recent weeks to avert an offensive that threatened a humanitarian catastrophe.

The Oslo Accords And The Failures Of Idealistic Internationalism
by Bruce Thornton via Front Page Magazine
Twenty-five years ago, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO chief Yasser Arafat stood in front of Bill Clinton in the White House Rose Garden and shook hands to mark their signing of the Oslo Accords. This pact included handing part of Judea and Samaria to the control of Palestinian Arabs. A year later the Palestinian Authority was created as the controlling authority that still governs part of the so-called West Bank.

40 years after the Camp David Accords, diplomats misunderstand why it happened

If any US president wants Middle Eastern peace to be part of his legacy, then he should recognize that peace is seldom made between equals but rather when one side recognizes its military defeat at the hands of the other.

Top general claims IDF not ready for war
According to IDF Ombudsman Yitzhak Brick, the Israeli military has invested most of its resources in the air force while neglecting the land corps, leaving Israel vulnerable to Hezbollah.

Gilead Sher writes: Forty years since Camp David, all central players are still present — except the Palestinians have moved onto the stage from behind curtain, and Jordan has stepped back from representing them. That happened with the signing of the Oslo Accords, providing mutual recognition and a goal, yet to be attained, to separate Israel and the Palestinians into two distinct national entities through negotiations. - War on the Rocks

Michael Rubin writes: Forty years ago Monday, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin signed the Camp David Accords […] Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama each launched their own initiatives, but each went nowhere. And as for President Trump’s “ deal of the century”: it increasingly appears the diplomatic equivalent of OJ Simpson’s hunt for the real killer. - American Enterprise Institute

BASRA IN SOUTHERN IRAQ GOES UP IN FLAMS: IRANIAN HATRED IN IRAQ WHILE IRANIAN LEADERSHIP MOVES TOWARD POLITICAL CENTER

Iran seeks to expand its political and security influence in Basra province, Iraq, possibly in order to circumvent forthcoming U.S. sanctions against Iranian oil exports. Iraqi protesters likely affiliated with Iranian proxies called for the installation of a temporary Basra government after weeks of protests over Basra’s water crisis. Iran may aim to leverage illicit Iraqi proxy smuggling networks in Basra to export Iranian oil.
