От Клинтон к кустику

Грег Palast

Справедливые месяцы прежде чем он оставил президент Клинтон офиса оплатили неожиданное посещение к Musharraf. Съездовские демократы были оглушены. Musharraf быстро показало для того чтобы быть Taliban-loving, неуравновешенным dictator который нарушил термины договора США путем взрывать nuke и угрожать испепелить наш союзника Индию. Знатно, посол с Клинтон сделало компенсациями к производителям электроэнергии верхний деталь на его повестке дня.

Сделанные благосклонности; отплащенные благосклонности. Ничего нового под солнцем, но будут опасная игра, сенатор Клинтон.

All right, maybe you can say that President Clinton’s blessing of the radioactive dictator can’t be blamed on Hillary despite the smelly money chain going from Arkansas to Karachi. But, be honest, the lady sure as heck ain’t running on her record as a Senator; her whole pitch is, “Re-elect Clinton.” And I’d rather tell you this story before you hear it from President Giuliani.

Nevertheless, let’s not lose sight of the current danger. While the Clinton’s may have handed us the Lunatic of Lahore, it’s George Bush who leaves mints on his pillow. I have no information that Clinton knew of the sales to North Korea. The Bush Administration did and, we discovered at BBC, blocked the CIA investigation that could have exposed it in 2001. And that, Mr. Bush, is a very, very dangerous game. The problem of creating Frankensteins, whether an Osama or a Saddam or a Musharraf, is that these creatures are often known to rise and turn on their creators.

But I’m sure we’ll correct the error. Four years ago, as Bush was proclaiming victory over the Butcher of Baghdad, I wrote, “Given our experiences with Saddam and Osama, our monsters tend to get out of control after about 11 years. Therefore, we can expect, in the year 2013, that President Jeb Bush will have to order the 82d Airborne into Pakistan to remove Musharraf, the Killer of Karachi.”

Unfortunately, we may not have that long.
