Surprise, surprise — White House (Brennan) proud claims a year ago on killing of bin-Laden shown to be spurious…and don’t let those torture punks tell you it was the torture that led us to Osama.

by Ray’s Former CIA Colleague Analyst, Paul Pillar

See, in particular, Paul’s link to recent AP story on understating the number of murders of U.S. troops by Afghan army and other forces, including the “elite,” highly trained Afghan Special Forces. (Paul served in Vietnam; knows first-hand what it is like when “friendly” indigenous forces turn the weapons on occupiers.)

The U.S. Afghanistan (or, as Dan Ellsberg has called it, “Vietnamistan”) adventure was a fool’s errand from the start. That’s why I found it so hard to believe that Obama would let himself get sucked into it. No brains, or no guts? I think he’s got brains.
