Following a week in which militant attacks killed seven CIA operatives in Afghanistan and at least 75 people at a volleyball match in Pakistan, Ray Suarez speaks with a pair of experts about rising instability in the region...Transcript and Video/Audio
The growth of not only the Taliban but also al Qaeda factions in the border region, Afghanistan and Pakistan can be brought right back at the previous administration and walking out to Iraq while causing Afghanistan to stagnate, but also in the dealings of our government with Pakistan at that time.
That growth as well as the last eight years, also the Israeli actions on the Palestinians, have caused what's seemingly a huge growth in al Qaeda factions, in Somalia and Yemen at the very least, whether directly affiliated or just flying under that banner to be recognized as being a part of the larger enemy of the west. Someone mentioned the other day they really enjoy being called 'terrorist', i.e. warriors, rather then criminals which is what the label 'terrorist' and directed at one name, al Qaeda, gives them.
The cheney/bush regime, with their own extremist rubber stamping congress, gave bin Laden and company just what they wanted, an enhanced radical movement of criminal terror, without borders, that will continue into the coming decades, and we keep feeding it not diminishing it!
I'm still trying to figure out why these News outlets keep using Michael Scheuer as the ex-cia spokesperson, plenty of much better ones to choose from, but he only makes a couple of really short statement points in this report prior to discussion and does no damage.
