6. The fact that insiders are coming out against drones is big news
Edited on Fri Jun-11-10 09:13 AM by soryang
Addicott is no liberal. This suggests insiders from JSOG probably are coming out against drone attacks. Any intelligence officer worth their salt knows that indiscriminate bombing and thats what these drones do, indiscriminately bomb residential areas, stiffens civilian resistance to conquest. It has been documented again and again in historical and official government reports in past wars. The fact that JSOG and or CIA insiders are defecting analytically from the aerospace contractors pet war project suggests that the failing effort in Afghanistan is becoming apparent and that they are trying to protect their positions, careers and reputations before the looming military defeat of the United States in Afghanistan. The economic lifeline to Afghan forces can only be maintained for several more months and victory is not in sight.

8. He lets a huge revelation slip at the end
He's against building schools because then we'll have to build schools in Somalia, etc... Yes, but it's still cheaper and more effective than military intervention all over the world to build schools all over the world.

The reason he's against it is because he has this cowboys and indians fantasy. This guy just wants war, bottom line.

9. Didn't he (Sliwa) have a false-attack incident
Back in the day? He lied about being kidnapped by cops, etc., and got snagged. SO GOOD to see that he now is a conservo talk show host.
