Willyloman over at the American Everyman has up a great post about the “need” to send US troops and CIA into certain areas of Pakistan…
According to an article in the New York Times, the assassination of Benazir Bhutto has sparked a need for us to send troops into certain areas of Pakistan, along with, the CIA, to help keep Pakistan “safe for democracy”.
And just who is putting this plan together, well, Rice and Cheney, of course; with the CIA, that is.
“The new options for expanded covert operations include loosening restrictions on the C.I.A. to strike selected targets in Pakistan, in some cases using intelligence provided by Pakistani sources…” NYT.
So, because of the assassination of the main opposition to Musharraf’s strangle hold on Pakistan, we are going to turn loose the CIA to attack targets, picked out by, Musharraf? Fucking brilliant.
It seems appropriate to call someone a tool right now…..but it’s so hard to choose…
