US general issues warning: politics must not interfere with 100-year “war on terror”
19 December 2006
One of the Pentagon’s senior uniformed strategists warned last week that the “global war on terror” will go on for another 50 to 100 years and voiced concern that “politics” not be allowed to interfere with the protracted struggle.
The remarks were made by Brig. Gen. Mark O. Schissler, an Air Force commander and the Defense Department’s deputy director for the “war on terrorism.”
He made them in an exclusive interview with the Washington Times, the right-wing daily owned by the Unification Church of Rev. Sun Myung Moon.

Associated Press reports:
FRANKFURT, Germany Jul 1, 2005 — A unilateral decision by the United States to indefinitely retain oversight of the Internet’s main traffic-directing computers prompted concerns Friday that the global telecommunications network could eventually splinter.
“This seems like an extension of American security in the aftermath of 9-11,” said John Strand, a Denmark-based technology consultant. “People will ask: `Do the Americans want to control the Internet?'”
Washington’s decision, announced Thursday, departs from previously stated U.S. policy.
