CIA busy in Pakistan, cable reveals

For those Obama supporters who have denied the extent to which he has expanded the war into other Moslem countries in Asia, the middle-east and Africa, be sure to read today’s Washington Post.

The CIA has carried out dozens of drone strikes against Haqqani targets in Pakistan in recent years, while U.S. forces on the Afghan side of the border have killed or captured Haqqani fighters at a rapid pace — only to see the flow of militants subside temporarily and then resume.

“There’s no debate about the importance of going after Haqqani . . . and Taliban militants who launch attacks into Afghanistan,” one U.S. official said. “Support for this is universal.” "

The WaPo is careful not to give a date about when all this war against another Taliban branch began. Based on its long history of shoring up Obama, I think WaPo would have noted if it were Bush’s war—but maybe it really doesn’t know.
