Hillary Clinton’s minions are hard at work assembling a political machine and fine tuning it for another go at the White House. Mrs. Clinton is doing her part preparing for a run as well, churning out a bland memoir about the “hard choices” she faced as secretary of state and coyly positioning herself (again) as the inevitable nominee of the party. But after the troubled beginning to her book tour, we’re beginning to see the reasons why Hillary may eventually decide to pull the plug on a 2016 presidential run.

World War lll is not around the corner, it is not coming next week, or next month, it’s happening now. To many people who are used to wars involving one or more countries fighting other countries, it is something in the future because they cannot grasp the fact that we are involved in a war without borders, where the soldiers are not easily identifiable by the uniform they wear.
