We attacked Cambodia covertly because we said they were harboring the VC, just like Pakistan harbors OBL. really? the cambodians flew planes into NYC? wow. that's something NO ONE knew!! The Taliban didn't fly any planes into New York either. They never had a particular beef with the US until we invaded their country. Untrue - they were were harboring bin laden even after we asked them to give him up. We are attacking Pakistan as we speak and Plume wants us to invade Somalia (Al-Shabab) , Indonesia (FPI) or wherever else Taliban like organizations spring up, even if they have no particular interests beyond their own borders. Really? Where did I say that? We're going after them in Afg. and going after bin laden's crowd in the uncontrolled regions of Pakistan. We have special forces in lots of places, supporting the suppression of radicals. Sounds to me like you want us to retreat to our borders and hope for the best. Now we have muslim nations starting to think they are right and we are wrong. Do you really want to start a war with a billion people? That would have been Bush's doing. Obama is trying to repair that damage. The whole thing unraveled after the Pentagon Papers exposed this all and it became clear that instead of trying to wind down an unpopular war, as promised by the new president, we were expanding it. I expect this and subsequent "leaks" to bring the same anti-war sentiment out this time. now let's see....the current 'leaks' have told us nothing new at all We will see won't we. Just about everyone has said there's nothing new. Doesn't mean that the totality of the information is something to ignore of course. I am surprised you aren't jumping on this because they are mostly from the Bush administration ... but the policy is the same now isn't it? Not even close. Not for Iraq and not for Afg. |
