Obama Should Read WikiLeaks Docs

January 3, 2011

Perhaps President Barack Obama should give himself a waiver on the ban prohibiting U.S. government employees from downloading classified cables released by WikiLeaks, so he can better understand the futility of his Afghan War strategy.

Read on.

I cannot believe Obama is stupid enough not even to read what any informed person now reads.
I also am unimpressed by the nasty closeness between India and the USA (and Israel, specialist in counter-terrorism) when you see how India treats Kashmiris, "tribals", peace activists (Dr Sen in prison, Arundhati Roy), Muslims, environmental activists, poor people). More weapons are not really the priority for a country with 830 million in poverty.

There is little to disagree with in this cogent and insightful glimpse into the current maize of propaganda and carefully orchestrated public disinformation surrounding the current military adventurism in the middle east.

However, harkening back to the opening topical paragraph:

"Perhaps President Barack Obama should give himself a waiver on the ban prohibiting U.S. government employees from downloading classified cables released by WikiLeaks, so he can better understand the futility of his Afghan War strategy."

Perhaps, those who continue to abide by jingoistic oaths of secrecy, sworn to the masters of such crime and corruption, should take their own lofty advise and grant such "waivers" to themselves; in the name of full disclosure.

I think al-Qaeda despite all the talk about its resilience and ruthlessness has become a myth and one conveniently exploited as a pretext by the US to extend the war into Pakistan. And nobody knows better about al-Qaeda existence and operability than the Pakistanis,and might be the reason why the Pakistani army is reluctant to cooperate with the militaristic goals of the US. Furthermore they, the Pakistanis, see India as the real threat.

Vigorous using the replica watches is absolutely not recommended, however if the straps give up prematurily, the machinery doesn't quit work so easily. They are available in a good quality quality, excellent workmanship and guaranteed longevity. It more than merely requires less maintenance, on top of that is waterproof.
