The lines that should exist between State Dept, pentagon, Intelligence people, and the media

that should exist don't anymore. We may see the desired outcome and may or may not understand what's going on, and I think sometimes there are so many players and so many projects that no one really knows what is happening at any one time, and it's easy for someone to loose things that get out of control. When things spin wildly than more little projects are spawned, escalating events. Just one little peek behind the curtain to remind us that replacing a politico here or there really doesn't affect the real players, and shaming each other really isn't productive. Yoga instructor or high level terror instructor? This is how things are really done in our name, and why we can't address things.

Nowadays the CIA doesn't even hide the fact that the Somali government is completely under agency’s control, as few months ago CIA director William Burns visited Somalia, where he discussed with the same president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud "regional issues of mutual interest and enhancing Somalia-U.S. strategic partnership in critical areas, including the fight against international terrorism.”

We have specialized in overthrowing governments, organizing coups and color "revolutions, running installed corrupt governments, arming insurgents ( our "guys"), drug trafficking and money laundering, and have highly skilled individuals and teams that do this and nothing else. Is it reasonable to assume that these skills would be checked at the door here? Are we that confident in our government, whoever that consists of? That's a lot of faith.
