[quote] Double murder-accused US official Raymond Davis has been found in possession of top-secret CIA documents, which point to him or the feared American Task Force 373 (TF373) operating in the region, providing Al-Qaeda terrorists with “nuclear fissile material” and “biological agents,” according to a report. [/quote]

It seems that the two ISI agents who Davis shot were tracking his and his teams movements in regards to collaborating with terrorists to provide them with WMD materials to attack the US “Homeland”. This would demonstrate Pakistan’s inability to contain its nuclear arsenal and allow the USA to exert global military force in an effort to renew economic hegemony. At least thats what the rest of the story alleges.

When is it Obama’s foreign policy? He could have cut the budget for our wars, he didn’t, or not followed in bush’s warrantless wiretapping footsteps, yet he did. In the worlds eyes Obama and bush are equally war mongering.

Bad foreign policy is bad, saying “blame the last guy” while doing the same crap just perpetuates it. Whoever comes after Obama will undoubtably blame this crap on him.

We need to stand up to our aggressive foreign policy in general and demand it stop now. If eqypt can do it, so can we.

It’s time to take to the streets, general strike anyone?

So anyway here’s my plot idea for the next episode of “24″

Fade up from black to see Jack Bauer driving a black SUV along a dusty city road in Unnamed Middle Eastern Country. A rusty white Nissan pickup drives alongside and a stuntman wearing a black beret and sunglasses pokes an AK47 out of the window. A high speed tussle ensues ending with Jack forcing the Nissan to stop so he can go mano a mano with the terrorists on board. Jack guns down the occupants but suddenly find himself surrounded by angry people trying to grab him. He uses his encrypted bluetooth headset to call for help, his back up arrives in a second SUV which cuts across the central reservation to get to him, killing a civilian on a motorcycle which just seems to make people more angry at Jack, so they drive off, dumping ammunition and surveillance gear onto the street straight to the American consul so they can stash the car and call a taxi to the airport. Meanwhile Jack jumps back into his car then drives off while being peppered with bullets and is caught by 2 parking wardens after a gruelling 5 minute chase. A daring young journalist just out of journalism school, through a source he calls “the US serviceman’s employment record” discovers in that Jack was infact an ex employee of Blackwater. Fade to black, roll credits behind “To be continued?” caption.

What d’you mean it’s too realistic?

When is it Obama’s foreign policy?

Never. Bush foreign policy was a notable change in what the US were doing, and Obama is part of it. There is no Obama foreign policy.

Let’s not confuse the two…

Taking to the streets, one can get hurt. Staying home, shit, I’m good at that!

The Pakistani political “leadership” is pretty darn scared these days; what with all the uprising happening all around them (although I hate being bundled into the “Middle East”, we’re more Indian than Middle Eastern). They’re going to release him once the whole Revolution Fever dies down.

Also, there are now reports that Mr. Davis had link to the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.

Also, please, YouTube the videos of his interrogation. They’re quite “fun”.

I know I would be scared for my life if I saw two people running away from me when I had a gun.

They were armed, and chose to use those arms to rob someone, and by having arms they signified a willingness to use them, thus putting his life in danger. They caused the shootings. Unless y’all are saying that he just rolled up to a stop light and randomly shot two dudes (probably who were minding their own business on the corner) and gosh it just happened that they had guns on them? Or maybe he planted them?

As for shooting them each five times? So? Is that really worse than shooting them each once? Dead is dead.

“Oh noes! He took their pictures after shooting them!” yeah, he did. US Government employee, attempted robbery. Was it random, or was he targeted specifically? Take pictures of the dead guys and send them off and see if they are in any databases and figure it out. Makes sense.

Pakistani Officials say that the men he shot were members of their secret service.

So the problem, broadly speaking, is that when a Xe operative being paid by the CIA shoots people in their own country they will sometimes also lie about why they did it.

Meanwhile, the poor in Pakistan get repeatedly shafted. But hey, as far as Americans and Brits are concerned, they’re basically all terrorists anyway, so who cares?

I remember the battleship USS New Jersey shelling the villages of the valleys of the Shouf Mountains, as it cruised off the coast of Lebanon…is that what “pussies” do in your opinion?

Whatever. Here’s a song about that action:

That that has not recently changed comes as no surprise.
At least to me.

Nor do I think that the bipartisan nature of US foreign policy will change in the foreseeable future.

I just don’t find that bipartisan character to be particularly remarkable or noteworthy, much less a reason for any discomfort.

so first off he shot them in the back – as a CIA contractor he should know when to and when not to shoot. Killing someone for stealing from you is not proportional retaliation.

Secondly, he did this in a country whose population CLEARLY has an unfavorable disposition towards America… what did he expect ? Roses?

This was a HUGE laps in judgment or training.

also what strangefriend said… i bet you this all goes away if we free aafia Siddiqui … gotta love politics

Firstly, the CIA (Central *Intelligence* Agency) would have people monitoring important political events like this even if they were to remain neutral or hands-off, so the presence of CIA agents in Pakistan isn’t by itself a demonstration of black ops.

Second, even CIA agents occasionally are victims of robbery. Robbery attempts, looting, etc… tend to increase in frequency during political upheavals (whether abroad or at home… when the NSM marched in Topeka, antifa counterprotests ended up being used by opportunists to riot and loot around). Further, the likelyhood of an American in Pakistan being CIA is a lot higher than, you know, an American in a random country. Finally, being an American might have made him a target of opportunity by actual robbers (probably richer than average, probably less likely to be helped by authorities or the community).

Still, it seems fishy.
