Truth will out...

You know, the people in Washington who are leading the war on terror are absolutely goddamn clueless. I read this initially on a Wall Street Journal news summary, and had to go to the link at Foreign Policy. 
There are some great stories here that we missed...however, passing over the problems with Tamiflu, our first line of defense against bird flu that happens to cause delusions, seizures and deaths in a significant number of people (number 9 ) check out number 5 -- We're funding the Taliban! "As recently as November, the Institute for War and Peace Reporting revealed that villagers in Afghanistan’s war-torn south were handing over U.S. cash meant for reconstruction projects to Taliban fighters, who then use the money to purchase weapons, cell phones, and explosives. As part of an effort to stimulate economic development in the country, the United States had committed $43.5 million for reconstruction as of September. One Canadian officer charged with helping to distribute cash said that “millions” has already gone missing in the five years since coalition troops arrived. Why? According to the report, local mullahs have urged residents to fight the foreign occupation and hand over the money in the hopes of gaining back the security they’ve lost. Others say it’s simple extortion from Taliban thugs. Either way, the United States may inadvertently be aiding the enemy in a fight that will almost certainly become more costly in the year ahead." However, the absolute best indication that there really is no justification for American democracy is number 1 -- India is helping Iran with its nuclear program? You know, India? The country we just handed a bunch of nuclear technology to? Yeah Team Bush... Just about the time you figure they're done all that they can do to lower the standard for effective government, they trump themselves...
