Yep, the CIA, working with SF and air power, used indigenous peoples to topple the Taliban. It was ordered by and executed under George Bush. It was a brilliant campaign by all accounts.
The PiC's adminstration has shown no ability to do anything compentently, especially militarily. The PiC, of course, is in the process of losing Afghanistan.
I know your type will ignore the facts, as the facts show Bush did a great job and the PiC is a disaster. Progs cannot give up their shibolleths, as doing so would be to turn their backs on their substitute religion. I know there is no hope for progs. But, most people want to know the facts and I provide them. Me and thousands have been doing that for 6 years and we have finally gotten through to people. The vast majority of Americans now understand that the PiC is supremely incompetent and cannot be trusted with so much as ordering a pizza.
So carry on with your suspension of reality. But know that I will be here to provide the truth for those who seek it.
I'm pretty sure the CIA started the paved the way for the Taliban to gain power in the first place. Same story in Iran.
The CIA could dissapper completely and the USA would be no worse for the wear. ------------------------- |

Whoa! Agree with Barney on something about the CIA! Will wonders never cease?! Not sure about if they should disappear, but their mission sure needs to change. Nice substantiation of your argument there mate! THAT...I can deal with.
