Pakistan to U.S.: Tone It Down With the Whole CIA ThingPosted on Apr 11, 2011
It’s not like we couldn’t have seen this coming: Due in part to a special request made by the head of the Pakistani army, the U.S. has been asked to scale back significantly on the number of CIA operatives in Pakistan and to stop drone attacks on northern militants. —KA

Another war of words. The US does this and Pakistan says that and, at the end, the CIA continues droning women and children to smithereens while the corrupt government of Afghanistan continues lining its pockets with money given to them by the USG. No need to get riled up here or pay attention. The game will continue to be played this way till the end of all time.

By the way, Napolean, I have seen that video. And like most things these days it is bittersweet.

One positive aspect of a down U.S. economy is that we have less to fund on the bribery, favors, look the other way, and, as stated above, black ops budgets.
Each has its own budget (siphoned or not), and each is a little more hard hit these days. That said, if we continue to pay up and pay big, foreign gumments will probably continue to err on the side of silence.
But it’s a start, Abu, a good start.

Humor aside, it would save a ton of money to get rid of “black” operations of all kinds everywhere. But money isn’t everything. There’s the ancient U.S. reputation for honest deals (Abe Lincoln) and open agreements openly arrived at (Wilson, I if I’m not mistaken)—anyway, good old “American Values” that somehow got lost in the MIC shuffle.

Well, well, things are finally looking up for the US on the economic front! If this Pakistan thing catches on around the world, and all foreign nations start asking that the CIA reduce it’s agents in their country, think of the money we’d save. Let’s assume we could cut the number of CIA ‘secret’ agents overseas from 200,000 to 100,000. It probably costs a minimum of $500,000/year to keep a ‘secret’ agent anywhere in the world, say Monte Carlo for example.
Report this100,000 x $500,000 is…well, it’s a lot of money. Enough to buy lunches for a lot of kids, and keep a lot of teachers and cops on the payroll here at home. ‘Course, we’d have to allow for unemployment pay for the ex-CIA agents, ‘cause what else can ‘secret’ agents do but spy…and direct drones against wedding parties…and pass out exploding cigars to ‘undesirable’ elected foreign officials…unless they got lobbying jobs for US corporations.
Then they could practice their trade against D.C. politicians…which would be a great thing! A few well-placed exploding cigars in Congress would/could make a helluva positive difference for the nation.
Good on yer, Pakistan! Keep up the good work!
