Hello to all

I consider myself to be a true American just like many others and I do believe that all the monies I have placed in our government has in the past worked for the betterment of all the American people. I do so much trust in these agency that we have built over the years and have had the opportunity to meet and talked with some of the people that have worked in our government for all these agency. I also do believe that these men and women that have sworn allegiance to America will never allow any one to sell us out.

Please never allow us to forget the we were at work trying to continue to build a free system that treat all men and women equal the day these terrorists hit the twin towers and we not happy and our president told us all it would take time and we would fight back To WIN. When they were cutting head off we were asking questions,and those folks are still on the planet The people they chose to question or NOT they had they heads removed. My trust is in our GOD and My fellow Americans.

New CIA Chief Leon Panetta will continue Predator Strikes in Pakistan

There is more to this story. The current turmoil in Pakistan over the disqualification by the Pakistani Supreme Court of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to hold office is tied to the U.S. Predator strikes. After the February 18, 2008 Pakistani elections, John Negreponte and Richard Boucher went to Pakistan to make sure that the assassinated Benazir Bhutto party retained control, and honored it pledge to support unconditionally the U.S. policy in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The U.S., then, pressed Switzerland to drop criminal charges against her husband Asif Zardari [his conviction in Pakistan was nullified at the request of the U.S. by Pervez Musharraf before his ouster], and Zardari with U.S. blessing became president. And Zardari -known as Mr. 10% for the bribes he got to arrange government contracts when Benazir Bhutto was prime minister, just like the $ 25.000 by Illinois governor Blagojevich- is now to the U.S. what Musharraf was before the Pakistani elections. And the CIA Predator strikes will continue in Pakistan because the U.S. has made sure that nothing changed with the elections and the ouster of Musharraf.

Nawaz Sharif wanted a reconciliation with the Taliban, and he told John Negreponte and Richard Boucher: "We want you to stop bombing our villages." Negreponte responded: "You cannot talk to those people [the Taliban]." Sharif's attitude against the U.S. Predator bombing of Pakistan casted him as an enemy of the U.S., and there is no doubt in Pakistan that his disqualification to hold office was formulated with U.S. complicity. A poll by the Pakistan News.com readers on February 25, 2009, showed a 94% support for Sharif, and 5% against him. And that percentage reflects the typical anti-American sentiment in Pakistan shown in other polls.

Surely, Sharif was offered a deal to accept the legitimacy of Musharraf's appointed Supreme Court Judge Abdul Hameed Dogar -also Zardari's preference over the legitimate SC Judge Iftikhat Chaudhry- and be deemed eligible for office by Dogar, but he refused on ethical and nationalistic grounds.

Now, with Nawaz Sharif out, Asif Zardari in full control, and with the Pakistani military getting between $ 20 to 80 millions monthly for anti-Taliban operating expenses, Leon Panetta is sure that the U.S. has tied all the control knots on the Pakistani government and can publicly brag that the CIA Predator strikes will continue without a hitch.

Is that a good long term policy for the U.S. war in Afghanistan and Pakistan? Well, George Bush did it for 6 years, and he left a mess behind. Obama's vision of "applying soft power"

to win Afghans and Pakistanis sound like an oxymoron because U.S. killing of civilians with airstrikes has diminished U.S support in both countries, according to a February 18, 2009 Chicago Tribune report. And more killing by CIA Predators will raise the hatred against the U.S. - not win public support for the war. Nikos Retsos, retired professor

Hypocrites

Well, well, well. How the worm has turned. The same people who danced in celebration when the Twin Towers were destroyed are whining about the United States dropping a few bombs on the leaders of the fanatics who have vowed to destroy the U.S. Tell them to call 1-800-wah-hhhh, extension boo hoo, there might be somebody there who will care.

I feel no pity or sorrow for anybody who has been killed in the drone attacks, except the children who have had to pay for the bad judgement and fanaticism of their fathers. Why sould I feel any sorrow? Did the Al queda or Taliban targets killed feel any for the 3,000 Twin Tower dead. However, I do not dance in the street and celebrate their deaths; rather, I feel a cold sense of satisfaction that more terrorists and their safe havens have been destroyed. Keep on bombing them, I say.
