What this dumbass apparently doesn't know is that the CIA is not in charge here. Keep spreading this kind of lyin' crap, the Taliban appreciates the help.

This smacks of Robert McFarlane whining to Novak's pliant ear...the master of Iran-Contra trying to tell us how a covert revolution should be fomented...puuuleeese. Next he will be telling us Eugene Hasenfus should be in charge of the food drops...

Ah, but they are and that is the problem. The CIA is f**king up this campaign just like they did in VN. Its the CIA bureacrats that are trying to piece together a ruling regime, before our military has a chance to take out the old one. Initially it was the military plan to align with the NA in Afghanistan, who were making great strides during the first week of Oct 7th, thousands of Taliban were defecting to the NA. Then the CIA let it be known that there were working on restoring the old Afghan King to restore order and put together a ruling regime that did not include the NA.

Now the NA has lost any incentive to fight with the USA. They are merely dragging their feet, doing just enough so that the US will continue to arm them. This may come back to haunt us when we have engaged a large ground force. Nothing worse than trying to fight two enemies at the same time, in the same area. Just like the Viet Cong, during VNam.

And as everyone knows they would never act on their own,
then lie about it.

Yes, thankfully.
