CIA To Control US Special Ops?

Their plan of expanding the role of U.S. special operations forces in Afghanistan in 2014 and beyond has been around for a while. The idea is to keep the occupation going at a smaller scale with elite forces so that the Obama administration can pretend they kept their promises about a withdrawal in 2014.


Pentagon spokesman George Little denied the idea is being discussed. “Any suggestion that such a plan exists is simply wrong,” Little said Saturday. “United States special operations forces continue to work closely with the intelligence community to confront a range of national security challenges across the world.”

  1. Now the Patreus move makes even more sense.
    This is what they have been up to all along.
    Drones and special ops under the thumb of the CIA.
    Who said that we do not have a para military in the West.
    It should now be obvious to one and all that the war without borders are endless.
    This will have grave consequences.
    We have always had the CIA doing coups, and other black ops.
    Now they will be out in the open.
    I guess we learned nothing from the Soviets and their KGB. We are now taking it to a higher level.
    Of course the headline of the day is that China is increasing their defense budget by 11%.
    If I were China I would increase it 50%.

  2. Soviets and KGB is a good analogy, RZ. If Putin is the exemplar then it will be President Petraeus after Obama's second term! End well this will not.

  3. Perhaps we will be going to a head of state, head of security, head of special ops, head of what ever, type of government.
    I think it has been tried before and did not work.
