Excuses Trotted Out For 10 Years Of Failure In Afghanistan


US intelligence is claiming that the Pakistan intelligence service and military have been supporting the Taliban for the last 10 years. They have produced a 'former Taliban commander' at a press conference to say that he was trained by the Pakistani Army. The name they have given him is 'Najib' but why not just call him 'Abu Jihadi al Ahmedinejad' or 'Curveball'. Isn't it strange that they are just coming out with this rubbish now? Just as they are about to retreat drawdown with their tails between their legs in time for Obama's re-election campaign. Two implications of it :
1. If true,  then the US intelligence must be pretty crap to take 10 years arriving at this conclusion
2. If untrue, it's another ham-handedly clumsy piece of propaganda for them to produce. You know,
WMD's with 40 minute deployment capabilities, Anthrax attacks, Nuclear bombs from Iran, assassination plots against the Saudis in restaurants with Mexican hitmen, kind of thing. 
Slices of yellowcake and coffee all round.

  1. It only takes one piece of DISinformation to start a war.
    The Western public has already shown that they will believe anything.

    So who really is the conspiracy nut?
    Me.
    Or the nuts that believe these conspiracies fabricated by the powers that be.
    At least mine are plausible, and they make people think.
    Hmmmm. :-)
