ʻO ke kūkā kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka haʻalele ʻana o ka pūʻali koa US a me NATO mai Afghanistan e pili ana i ka manaʻo maikaʻi i hōʻike ʻia e kuʻu hoa hana o CIA ʻo Paul Pillar 12 mau makahiki i hala. Ua kāhea ʻo Paul iā ia ke "kī nui e pono ʻole ai e ʻae ʻia ʻo Afghanistan e lilo i puʻuhonua no nā hui hoʻoweliweli, keu hoʻi ʻo al-Qaeda".
me ʻO ka lā Sābati Hawaii Post "Ke hāʻule nei ka lani" -ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo ʻano, A me ka NY Times'ōlelo ʻo Maureen Dowd ʻAʻole ia, ma hea e huli kekahi no kekahi ʻike akamai?
ʻAʻohe pilikia: heluhelu hou ʻia ʻo Paul Pillar's Hawaii Post op-ed o Sepatemaba 16, 2009, a Paul paha i kuleana ai: ʻO ka hoʻoweliweli no Dummies. Ua koho ka Post i ke poʻo inoa: “ʻAʻohe o ka Haven Realist ma ka honua, he pūnaewele ia. "
Eia aʻe nā ʻolelo:
Pehea ka mea nui i nā pūʻulu hoʻoweliweli kahi awa kino? … Pehea ka hopena o ke awa i ka makaʻu o ka hoʻouka kaua kūʻē i nā pono o US, ʻo ia hoʻi ka homeland US. ʻO ka pane i ka nīnau ʻelua: ʻaʻole kokoke i ka nui o nā manaʻo i hōʻike ʻole ʻia. … ʻO nā hoʻomākaukau i mea nui loa i ka lā 11 Kepakemapa 2001, ʻaʻole i loaʻa kahi hoʻouka kaua ma nā kahua hoʻomoana ma Afghanistan akā, ma nā keʻena ma Kelemania, nā lumi hōkele ma Sepania a me nā kula lele i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. I nā makahiki i hala aku nei, ua ola nā hui hoʻoweliweli honua ma o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka globalisation a me ka ʻenehana ʻikepili, ka mea i hoʻoliʻiliʻi i ko lākou kaukaʻi ʻana i nā wahi pili kino.
ʻO ka pilikia i kēia lā inā e pale ana i kahi awa e hoʻoliʻiliʻi i ka hoʻoweliweli hoʻoweliweli iā ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i lawa mai ka mea e like me ka mea e hoʻolilo ai i nā koina o ke koko a me nā waiwai a me nā mea keakea i ka kūleʻa i Afghanistan, e like me kahi aupuni kūpono ʻole a me ke kākoʻo sagging mai ka heluna kanaka. ʻO ka hoʻohoka ʻana i ka hana o kahi awa kūlohelohe ka mea e pono ai ke hoʻonui i ka hoʻonui i ka hoʻoweliweli anti-US i hoʻokumu ʻia mai nā manaʻo i lilo ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i mea noho ma mua o ka mea pale aku iā Afghanistan.
ʻO Pillar vs. ka Head-Hunters
Ua paʻa ʻo Paul Pillar i nā kūlana kiʻekiʻe loa ma CIA, me ka National Intelligence Officer no ka Middle East - ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe loa ma kēlā wahi - a ʻike maikaʻi pū kekahi e pili ana i ka hoʻoweliweli. Ua lilo ʻo ia i poʻokela o ka anamanaʻo ma ka Counterterrorist Center ma 1993 a me ka hope alakaʻi o ke kikowaena ʻehā mau makahiki ma hope. I ka manawa i lilo ai ʻo Cofer Black i haku ma luna o ka ʻeleʻele-arts-master ma 1997, eia naʻe, ua haʻalele ʻo Pillar - no ka mea he "clash of style", e like me kā Steve Coll i Nā Kaua Ghost: Ka Mōʻaukala Malu o ka CIA, Afghanistan a me Bin Laden (Penguin, 2005).
ʻAʻole paʻakikī e wehewehe i ke kumu e like ai ka Pillar noʻonoʻo a me ka hyperactive Black e like me ka ʻaila a me ka wai. ʻO ka mea hoʻohana hope loa, ʻo Black i ʻike hope loa ʻia ma ka Papa o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo Burisma. Akāʻo ia wale nō kāna koi hoʻopiʻi hou loa i ka kaulana.
Naʻu ka hoʻopaʻi, ʻōlelo ʻeleʻele
E noʻonoʻo i nā lā hoʻopaʻi i ka hopena ma hope o 9/11, a me ke ʻano macho e hoʻohālikelike ʻia e Pelekikena Bush a hoʻopili ʻia i ka laina e nā mea hana ʻo CIA a me kā lākou mau ʻelele o ka mana i ka pāpāho - me Cofer Black e kani ana e like me kahi hui o Shakespeare's ʻO Herodias, Lady Macbeth, a me Queen Carroll's Heart of Hearts.
Ua haʻi aku ka mea hana ʻo CIA ʻo Gary Schroen i ka National Public Radio, he mau lā wale nō ma hope o 9/11, ua hoʻouna aku ʻo Cofer Black iā ia i Afghanistan me nā kauoha e "Hopu iā bin Laden, pepehi iā ia, a hoʻihoʻi i kona poʻo i loko o ka pahu ma ka hau maloʻo." ʻO nā alakaʻi Al Qaeda ʻē aʻe, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Black, "Makemake au i ko lākou poʻo i luna o nā pikes."
Kuhi kēia leo quaint - a me ka ʻōlelo - i waena o nā pundits aloha-ʻoluʻolu, makemake mau e kōkua.
ʻO nā pilina paʻa ʻo Spy-Pundit
Hoʻokahi insider pono ʻole, Hawaii Post Ua hele iki kahi koa ʻo Jim Hoagland ma ka paʻi ʻana i kahi leka hāmama iā Pelekikena Bush ma ʻOkakopa 31, 2001. ʻAʻole ia he prank Halloween. Akā, ua kākoʻo ikaika ʻo Hoagland i ka mea āna i kapa ai ʻo ka "makemake" no ke poʻo o "Osama bin Laden ma kahi pike," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia ke kumu o kā Bush "mau pūkaua a me nā diplomats."
Mahalo i kahi i loaʻa ai ʻo ia i kēlā ʻāpana koko iā Hoagland.
I ka manawa like, aia nā mea weliweli i ka kaʻana like ʻana i ka nui o ka ʻikepili me ka insider pet / kūwaho. I kāna leka hāmama iā Bush, ua hāpai ʻo Hoagland i ka pale ma ka hoʻolālā pāʻani ʻoi aku ke koko no nā mahina e hiki mai ana ma ka hāʻawi ʻana iā Bush i kēia kauoha o nā mea nui. ʻAʻole pono e hoʻēmi ʻia ka pono e hana me ko Iraki hoʻomau ʻana o ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i nā meaola a me nā mea kaua a me nā ʻenehana e kūkulu i kahi pōkā nukelea e nā koi o ke kaua Afghanistan. Pono ʻoe e alakaʻi i kēlā huakaʻi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke pivot wikiwiki mai ia mea e hoʻopau i ka hoʻoweliweli i ke aupuni a Saddam Hussein. Ma kekahi ʻano, ua loaʻa ʻo Hoagland i ka manaʻo "pivot" ʻekolu mau pule ma mua o ke kāhea ʻana o ke kākau ʻōlelo ʻo Defence Donald Rumsfeld iā Gen. Tommy Franks e haʻi iā ia ua makemake ka Pelekikena iā ia e neʻe i Iraq. E hana ana ʻo Franks a me kāna mau mea kōkua nui i nā hoʻolālā no ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana ma Tora Bora kahi i manaʻo ʻia e hūnā ana ʻo bin Laden akā ua hoʻohuli hoʻohuli ʻia ka nānā ʻana, ka hoʻolālā ʻana, a me nā kumuwaiwai i ʻIraka. No laila ua hele aku ʻo Osama bin Laden mai Tora Bora ma waena o ka mauna e hele ana i Pakistan.
ʻO ke kuhi ma ʻaneʻi ua hoʻopōkole loa ʻia nā punahele ʻike na ka poʻe hoʻolaha e CIA mea hoʻolaha - no ka mea akahele lākou i ka nahu ʻana i nā lima e hānai iā lākou ma ka hōʻino ʻana iā CIA. He puke helu nui ko kēlā mau pundits me nā inoa o nā luna ʻoihana CIA - nā mea nāna i haʻi i kēlā mau mea Hawaii Post stalwarts i kēia hopena pule e hāʻule ka lani inā lawe ʻo Biden i nā pūʻali koa mai Afghanistan. E nānā ma lalo o "P" i kēlā mau puke kamaʻilio; ʻAʻole wau e manaʻo e loaʻa iā ʻoe ʻo "Paul Pillar".
Aia kekahi e nānā hauʻoli ai i mua no ke "kaua mau loa" ma Afghanistan? ʻĀ, pehea ʻo Jeff Bezos, nāna i kūʻai ka Hawaii Post ʻewalu mau makahiki i hala aku nei, kaohi mau ia, a nui nā ʻaelike me ka CIA. Ke inaina nei au i ke kani hou, akā ma lalo o kēia mau mea a pau ka MICIMATT (Pūʻali Koa-ʻOihana-ʻĀpana-ʻIke-Media-Academia-Think-Tank paʻakikī. [Hoʻohui hou ʻia.]
Hana ʻo Ray McGovern me Tell the Word, kahi lima paʻi o ka Church ecumenical of the Savior ma loko o Wakinekona. ʻO kāna hana he 27 mau makahiki ma ke ʻano he loiloi CIA e pili ana i ka lawelawe ʻana ma ke ʻano he Aliʻi o ka Soviet Foreign Policy Branch a me kahi mea hoʻomākaukau / papa inoa o ka Pelekikena Daily Brief. He mea hoʻokumu pū ʻo ia i nā ʻoihana ʻoihana Veteran no Sanity (VIPS).
