“The military and the CIA have had close ties since the spy agency’s creation in 1947, but the degree of collaboration — and the capabilities of special operations forces — have grown dramatically since 9/11.”
The lineage of Army Special Forces is from the WWII Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The mission initially was to develop partisan resistance forces behind the lines, similar to the Operation Jedburg.
Oh; by the way Mr. Sandune, Bush 43 is no longer President! You can start throwing the blame on Barack Hussein Obama now. If you critize his policies, I promise I won’t call you a racist.

Hey Woody –

I just love those ‘mythbuster’ sites that boldly claim that the CIA never funded bin Laden. They’re right, of course. The money went via Pakistan’s ISI first.

Not much point in having a fig leaf if it’s completely transparent.

Almost finished my script: ‘The Osman Identity’. It kicks off with backdoor funding, develops into renal failure and ends in a dramatic hail of bu77$h!t.

Thrilling stuff of course, but a little too outlandish I’m told.

Yeah Woody, Osama was an aged, arabic version of Jason Bourne to our ever-fumbling, duplicit CIA…no? : ))

I thought I’d offer one of the most comprohensive links available on the www concerning our ever-meddling government in the affairs of just about every nation on the planet. Our tax dollars at work..eh? / : |

The information found within this source will keep interested readers busy for weeks, possibly months uncovering every seedy plot in which our government involves itself in order to expand and maintain ‘Empire Americanus’.

The CIA likes to clean up it’s own messes. They created bin Laden and al CIAda to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. They are funding and providing air support for al CIAda in Libya against Moammar Gadhafi. I guess terrorists are only dangerous when they speak out against the America after being used as proxies to fight for Corporate America’s agenda.

Sandune, you are due a standing ovation!

The only place where I disagree slightly with you is the fact that Obama was the person who put Panetta in charge of that operation, and therefor may well be the man to remove our presence from the Middle East. I have seen a TV documentary in which one of the main participants was an ex-SEAL who claimed that his team had Bin Laden cornered in Tora Bora, and requested (as per SOP) permission to attack and kill Bin Laden……and was REFUSED PERMISSION!!! This was during Bush lls’ administration, during which, may I remind others, we went from having a surplus and were starting to pay off the National Debt, to the world’s biggest debtor nation…..with most of that debt owed to Red China!

Thank God, or luck, or any other powers that may be, for Obama’s approval of Panetta and the operation which rid us of one of the worst terrorists in this world.

Whoops the cat jumped on the mouse and left me in half sentence. …

(like leaving Iraq and Afghanistan). The one man who can put the right words to do the job can come from Leon Panetta…….He may not have the appearance or personality of President Reagan but he has the brains and courage that will be an advantage to America.

What a difference it makes when our leaders state clearly, and simply, the objective of any planned operation. Even Korea and Vietnam simply oozed into declaring action without the legal authority from the Congress. Could it be that the Congress had so little interest in the wars in both nations that they did not request any action at all.

We elect the worst possible representatives and they win due to the financial backing from the corporations who will be issued the war contracts to make them wealthy. It’s a win-win and the only losers are those to pay the costs of these wars.

Personally I was delighted that Leon Panetta was put in charge of the CIA at this time and has shown a high level of integrity long missing in our House of Representatives. If he becomes Secretary of Defense, all Americans should be glad that we finally have a man of honor who will not pull the tap dancing crap that Rumsfeld had done.

I worked so hard against President Bush 43 and my every fear came true. Nothing in my long voting record has done as much damage to America than the Bush Administration going into Iraq. The power of his action is still causing major arguments in D.C. today. To see the backing that Bush is still getting from the GOP is shocking to anyone who really respects our Nation.

Is there not one elected official working in the White House who has the balls to apologize to the American people that this action was based on a lie from a President who seems more like Nero with his unbalanced ego.

To approve of what President Bush did is nothing but a cancer on the butt of our government. The Congress should hang their heads in shame. I can’t think of another leader currently in office who would not have taken a stand against this war.

Where do we take it from there?

I don’t know if President Obama has the courage to make the changes in the Middle East (like leaving Iraq
