Ingxoxo yamanje mayelana nokuhoxiswa okuhleliwe kwamasosha ase-US kanye ne-NATO e-Afghanistan igxile enkolelweni engakaze ibonwe ukuthi uPaul Pillar owayengumhlaziyi we-CIA wadalula eminyakeni engu-12 edlule. UPaul ukubize "imfundiso esemqoka yokuthi i-Afghanistan akumele ivunyelwe ukuthi iphinde ibe yindawo yamaqembu amaphekula, ikakhulukazi i-al-Qaeda".
With NgeSonto Washington Post "I-Sky Is Falling"-uhlobo lwesixwayiso, Kanye NY TimesKusho uMaureen Dowd Cha akunjalo, umuntu uphendukela kuphi ukuze athole ulwazi oluthile oluhlakaniphile olunolwazi?
Akunankinga: Vele ufunde kabusha eka-Paul Pillar Washington Post op-ed of Sept. 16, 2009, uPaul okungenzeka ukuthi wayibiza ngokuthi: Ubuphekula For Dummies. I-Post ikhethe isihloko esithi: “Indawo Yangempela Yamaphekula Ayikho Phansi, Iku-inthanethi. "
Izingcaphuno ezilandelayo:
Ibaluleke kangakanani emaqenjini amaphekula noma iyiphi indawo yokuhlala? … Ingabe indawo yokucasha iyithinta kangakanani ingozi yokuhlasela kwamaphekula ngokumelene nezithakazelo zase-US, ikakhulukazi izwe laseMelika? Impendulo yombuzo wesibili ithi: hhayi cishe njengoba kucatshangwa okungashiwongo. … Amalungiselelo abaluleke kakhulu kuSepthemba 11, 2001, ukuhlaselwa akwenzekanga ezinkanjini zokuqeqesha e-Afghanistan kodwa, kunalokho, ezindlini zaseJalimane, emahhotela e-Spain nasezikoleni zezindiza e-United States. Emashumini ambalwa eminyaka adlule, amaqembu amaphekula omhlaba wonke aye achuma ngokusebenzisa ukuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke nobuchwepheshe bolwazi, okuye kwanciphisa ukuthembela kwawo ezindaweni ezingokoqobo.
Udaba namuhla ukuthi ukuvimbela indawo enjalo kuzonciphisa usongo lwamaphekula e-United States ngokwanele kulokho obekungaba yikho ukuqeda izindleko ezidingekayo zegazi nengcebo kanye nezithiyo zempumelelo e-Afghanistan, okubandakanya umbuso ongasebenzi kanye nokusekelwa okwehlayo okuvela. inani labantu. Ukuvimba ukwakhiwa kwendawo engokoqobo kuzofanela futhi kuqede noma yikuphi ukukhushulwa kobuphekula obumelene ne-US obuvela emibonweni yokuthi i-United States isibe umhlali esikhundleni sokuba umvikeli we-Afghanistan.
Insika vs. Head-Hunters
UPaul Pillar ubambe izikhundla eziphezulu kakhulu e-CIA, okuhlanganisa ne-National Intelligence Officer yaseMpumalanga Ephakathi - isikhundla esiphezulu kunazo zonke kuleyo ndawo - futhi wazi kahle kancane ngobuphekula. Waba yinhloko yokuhlaziya e-Counterterrorist Centre ngo-1993 kanye nesekela lomqondisi weSikhungo eminyakeni emine kamuva. Ngenkathi umpetha wezobuciko abamnyama uCofer Black ethatha lesi sikhungo ngo-1997, nokho, uPillar washiya - ngenxa "yokungqubuzana kwezitayela", ngokusho kukaSteve Coll Ghost Wars: Umlando Oyimfihlo weCIA, Afghanistan kanye noBin Laden (Penguin, 2005).
Akunzima ukuchaza ukuthi kungani insika ecatshangelwayo kanye ne-hyperactive Black ingaba njengowoyela namanzi. Umsebenzisi osebenza ngokugcwele, Omnyama ugcine ephawulwe eBhodini lenkampani yamandla edume kabi yase-Ukraine iBurisma. Kodwa lokho kumane kuyisimangalo sakhe sakamuva esingabazayo sodumo.
Impindiselo ingeyami, kusho uMnyamana
Cabanga ngezinsuku zokuziphindiselela ngemuva nje kwe-9/11, kanye nendlela yobudoda eyayilingiswa uMongameli Bush futhi yehliselwa phansi ngabasebenzi be-CIA kanye nama-agent abo anethonya kwabezindaba - u-Cofer Black ezwakala njengenhlanganisela kaShakespeare. UHerodias, uLady Macbeth, kanye neNdlovukazi yezinhliziyo zikaLewis Carroll.
Umsebenzi weCIA uGary Schroen utshele iNational Public Radio ukuthi, ezinsukwini nje ngemuva komhla zi-9/11, isikhulu se-Counterterrorist uCofer Black samthumela e-Afghanistan nemiyalo yokuthi "Abambe u-bin Laden, ambulale, futhi abuyise ikhanda lakhe ebhokisini eqhweni elomile." Ngokuqondene nabanye abaholi be-al Qaeda, kubikwa ukuthi uBlack uthe, "Ngifuna amakhanda abo abheke phezulu."
Le ithoni engavamile - kanye nolimi - kuphindaphindeka phakathi kochwepheshe abasebenzisa ubuhlakani, abahlale bemagange ukusiza.
I-Spy-Pundit Izibopho Zokuganana
Umuntu wangaphakathi ophelele, Washington Post umakadebona uJim Hoagland weqa ekushicileleni incwadi evulekile eya kuMongameli Bush ngo-Oct. 31, 2001. Kwakungewona umgilingwane we-Halloween. Kunalokho, uHoagland wasekela ngokuqinile lokho akubiza ngokuthi “isifiso” “sekhanda lika-Osama bin Laden phezu kwe-pike,” athi kwakuyinhloso “yojenene namanxusa” kaBush.
Kazi u-Hoagland wayithathaphi leyo qatha legazi.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kunezingozi ekwabelaneni ngolwazi oluningi nesilwane esifuywayo sangaphakathi/abangaphandle. Encwadini yakhe evulelekile eya kuBush, uHoagland waphakamisa ikhethini ohlelweni lwangempela, olugcwele igazi lomdlalo wezinyanga ezizayo ngokunikeza uBush ukuhleleka okulandelayo kwezinto eziza kuqala. Isidingo sokubhekana nokuqoqwa okuqhubekayo kwe-Iraq kwezikhali zebhayoloji nezamakhemikhali kanye nobuchwepheshe bokwakha ibhomu lenuzi ngeke kwehliswe nakancane yizidingo zomkhankaso wase-Afghan. Kufanele uqhube lowo mkhankaso ukuze ukwazi ukuzulazula kuwo ngokushesha ukuze uqede usongo lombuso kaSaddam Hussein. Ngandlela thize, u-Hoagland wayethole umbono “we-pivot” emasontweni amathathu ngaphambi kokuba uNobhala Wezokuvikela u-Donald Rumsfeld abize u-Gen. Tommy Franks ukuze amtshele ukuthi uMengameli ufuna ukuthi aguqule agxile e-Iraq. UFranks nabasizi bakhe abakhulu bebesebenza ngezinhlelo zokuhlaselwa kweTora Bora lapho bekukholelwa ukuthi u-bin Laden ucashe kodwa ukunakekela, ukuhlela, kanye nezinsiza kwaphambukiselwa ku-Iraq kungazelelwe. Ngakho u-Osama bin Laden ngokusobala waphuma eTora Bora enqamula izintaba waya ePakistan.
Iphuzu lapha ukuthi izintandokazi zezobunhloli kwabezindaba zichazwe kahle kakhulu ngabashicileli be-CIA - ngokwengxenye ngoba bayaqikelela ukuthi bangazilumi izandla ezibaphakelayo ngokugxeka i-CIA. Labo chwepheshe banencwadi yamakheli enzima kakhulu enamagama ezikhulu ze-CIA - labo abatshele labo. Washington Post ama-stalwarts kule mpelasonto ukuthi isibhakabhaka sizowa uma iBiden iletha amasosha avela e-Afghanistan. Bheka ngaphansi kokuthi “P” kulawo zincwadi zamakheli; Angicabangi ukuthi uzothola "uPaul Pillar".
Ingabe bakhona labo abangalindela ngenjabulo enye “impi yaphakade” e-Afghanistan? Hhayi-ke, kuthiwani ngoJeff Bezos, othenge i- Washington Post eminyakeni eyisishiyagalombili edlule, isayilawula, futhi inezinkontileka ezinkulu neCIA. Ngiyakuzonda ukuzwakala ngingenamsebenzi, kodwa ngaphansi kwakho konke lokhu kukhona i-MICIMATT (Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence-Media-Academia-Think-Tank complex. [Kugcizelelwe.]
