Anyone hear Sarah Chayes (sp?) on Democracy Now this a.m.?

[phoebe]

IMHO a devastating article that should have major consequences for the Bush admin. - the role Pakistan has played in the "war on terror"; Pakistan creating the Taliban as an intelligence tool to use against India; the likely whereabouts of OBL; the role of Pakistan in enabling N. Korea (Khan) to achieve nuclear status; the US use of warlords to counter Karzai in Afghanistan before Karzai came to power; the propaganda of Laura Bush on the women in Afghanistan. To top it all off the role that NPR (National Public Radio) had in silencing this information at the beginning of the WOT..

A MUST read and listen..

3. no wonder * et al are saying N Korea didn't detonate a bomb this a.m.

trying to downplay their role in this world class clusterf*$k and the fact that they looked the other way on Pakistan handing over nuclear technology to N. Korea. Jeebus - they got played (and how) by Pakistan(China) - Bush neocons evidently told Israel to quietly give India whatever it wants to try to keep the nuclear arms race in "balance" ..
