War in Pakistan -Waziristan Coming Soon to a Market Near America.
Will $7.8 Billion from impoverished American taxpayers and mounting unfunded debts really change Pakistan minds if not hearts?
One thing for sure: Afghanistan Opium Heroin production increased tenfold since US troops attacked the Muslim Fundamentalist Taliban who opposed opium.
One wonders if 8% growth CIA GDP estimates include the estimated $3 Billion in illicit drug trade as 14% of the $22 Billion GDP.
Nations pledged $57 Billion to develop the economy of Afghanistan. That does not include the $236 Billion the US military has spent in Afghanistan in 9 years there.
This, by the way, almost doubles the Anglo-Afghan War from 1839-1942 against Russia for control of the Mideast.
In fact, Pakistan Army hearts and souls may in fact sympathize with Muslim rather than USA causes.
It appears China, Iran and Russia may be arming, exploiting and funding Muslims with satellite reconnaissance, communications and other strategic support. This may be to destabilize US interests in the Middle East and to bring down the USA Empire as the USA brought down the Soviet Empire in Afghanistan with terrorists they called freedom fighters.
Now Iran and other Middle Eastern and African countries have China and Russia on their side with arms or trade.
The USA, including Defense Budget supplementals, currently spends more on its $700 Billion military industrial complex budget than the rest of the world combined on defense.
Does America really have strategic interests in the Middle East, or is it just Neocon Power Elite Corporate greed?
Ron Paul, Obama voters and many unemployed Americans questioned the strategic interests of America in the Middle East. They wanted out.
Much of our oil comes from American sources like Canada and Mexico.
