[Nettime-bold] Dr Geo-Frankenstine prompts the US People to War |
Terrence writes; Will past CIA efforts backfire? Lots of nukes in Russia and Pakistan. Will this unleash end time? Eight years after Casey's visit to Pakistan, the Soviet Union is no more. Afghanistan has fallen to the heavily armed, fraticidal mujaheddin rebels. The Afghans themselves did the fighting and dying -- and ultimately won their war against the Soviets -- and not all of them laud the CIA's role in their victory. But even some sharp critics of the CIA agree that in military terms, its secret 1985 escalation of covert support to the mujaheddin made a major difference in Afghanistan, the last battlefield of the long Cold War. http://www.emperors-clothes.com/docs/anatomy.htm god help us now.
