Larisa Alexandrovna: Bush-Cheney Legacy Is Empowering Terrorists (Afghanistan)

Bush-Cheney legacy - empowering terrorists

This is apparently the Cheney-Bush strategy for winning their war on 'terra' (we all know that the drug and arms trade fund terrorism):

Ahmed Wali Karzai, the brother of the Afghan president and a suspected player in the country’s booming illegal opium trade, gets regular payments from the Central Intelligence Agency, and has for much of the past eight years, according to current and former American officials.

Wait, let me see if I understand the overall Bush/Cheney plan:

1. Align with the Saudis and Pakistan - even though the former funded the 9/11 attacks and the latter trained the hijackers.

2. Invade Afghanistan to target the Taliban and Al Qaeda - funded and backed by Pakistani ISI - and pay a drug lord, whose booming business in turn funds terrorism (which we invaded Afghanistan to stop). Then ignore the Taliban while they entirely re-group.

3. Invade Iraq - a country not involved in terrorism or attacks against us and in doing so, empower Iran and Hezbollah.

Wow, just whose side are Bush and Cheney on? It is clearly not our side and inexplicably, their actions seem to support terrorism rather than declare war on it. The GOP clearly does not stand for national security. Whatever it is that they stand for, no one can look at these developments and the choices behind them and claim otherwise.

1. You are confused in thinking that we go to war to protect American lives
When they say American interests they mean the interests of the international resource monopolies, not you and I. Is it possible that they got exactly what they wanted?
