Ummm, no offense but. This guy has made some HUGE mistakes, 911 anyone ?
[QUOTE=Sidney]He is incredible! And is always ''right on''![/QUOTE]In all my years, I have never called another man incredible. So either you have some serious idolatry issues going or you need to come out of that closet. And maybe he is your god, and I am sure your god could never be wrong. But it is naive to say someone has and never will be wrong.Let me guess he has never uttered one false word either. lol. That is just bullshit. But thanks for the laughs
Bad.
I think he is an intelligent guy who has used that intelligence to serve his purposes. Nothing more. Let me know when one of his ideas actually solves something it was supposed to. Last time I checked, his genius brought us the Taliban, Ayatollah Khomeini and so on. With all that said, I admit, he is intelligent and some of his works are required reading. But half the shit he says and thinks is bullshit. Or should the US keep funding the Taliban in order to stick it to the USSR? He let his personal animosity get in the way of his global geostrategy, unless funding Al-Qaeda was part of all that.
Now let's all take a guess what genius that never makes mistakes thought this one up
Operation Cyclone was the code name for the United States CIA program to arm Islamic mujahideen during the Soviet war in Afghanistan, 1979-1989. The Program relied heavily on using the Pakistani Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) as an intermediary for funds distribution. Along with similar programs from Britain's MI6 and SAS, Saudi Arabia and other nations, the opponents to the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan collectively trained over 100,000 insurgents between 1978 and 1992. Somewhere between $3–$20 billion in US funds were funneled into the country to train and equip troops with weapons, including Stinger surface-to-air missiles.
The favored leader amongst the Afghan resistance fighters was Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. His tactics became increasingly violent and aimed towards civilian populations, including shelling Kabul with American-supplied weapons, causing 2,000 casualties. According to a Newsweek article, in the late 1980s, Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, concerned of the growing strength of Islamist movement, told President George H. W. Bush, "You are creating a Frankenstein." Hekmatyar was said to be friendly with Osama bin Laden, founder of al-Qaeda, who was running a similar Arab logistical organization concurrent to Operation Cyclone, called Maktab al-Khadamat (MAK) The US asserts that all of its funds were used to supply native Afghan rebels, and denies that any of its funds were used to supply Osama bin Laden or foreign Arab mujahideen. It is estimated that 35,000 foreign Muslims from 43 Islamic countries also take part in the war. (See: Al-Qaeda: Origins in Maktab al-Khadamat)

Yeah, I forgot, that was GREAT idea
June 13, 1997, in a CNN / National Security Archive interview, Brzezinski detailed the strategy taken by the Carter administration against the Soviets:
We immediately launched a twofold process when we heard that the Soviets had entered Afghanistan. The first involved direct reactions and sanctions focused on the Soviet Union, and both the State Department and the National Security Council prepared long lists of sanctions to be adopted, of steps to be taken to increase the international costs to the Soviet Union of their actions. And the second course of action led to my going to Pakistan a month or so after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, for the purpose of coordinating with the Pakistanis a joint response, the purpose of which would be to make the Soviets bleed for as much and as long as is possible; and we engaged in that effort in a collaborative sense with the Saudis, the Egyptians, the British, the Chinese, and we started providing weapons to the Mujaheddin, from various sources again—for example, some Soviet arms from the Egyptians and the Chinese. We even got Soviet arms from the Czechoslovak communist government, since it was obviously susceptible to material incentives; and at some point we started buying arms for the Mujaheddin from the Soviet army in Afghanistan, because that army was increasingly corrupt.

Change the subject if you want, bottom line is your boy Zbig fucked up
You like to get off topic don't you Benny, it's alot easier than dealing with your bullshit and symplistic analysis once it has been exposed. Zbig fucked up and now we have something far bigger to worry about. But I guess it's better to have a Fundamentalist Islamic state in Iran, a Nuclear armed, Al Qaeda funding military Dictatorship in the tinderbox we call Pakistan, and an Al Qaeda run Afghanistan. Oh yeah, let us know when all this online begging nagging and whining actually lands you a job with Kirchner.
The point is you are full of shit. Your idol was so wrong it's not even funny. Or just ask those who were in the world trade center, the minute the CIA financed and trained operatives struck. I am sure they love the fact that was brought to them by Zbig and his brilliant policies. Just goes to show what happens when you give a hater too much power over foreign policy. He will put American lives in harms way any chance he gets as long as he gets to try to hurt the thing he hates the most. Russia still has all the natural resources it needs and then some. It is still strong arming Europe as far as gas is concerned. It is still knee deep in Central Asia and the Middle East. Nothing changed because of Brez, Oh yeah, except we now have the Taliban he helped create, the Pakistani ISI that is funneling money to Al Qaeda as we speak. Oh yeah I almost forgot, Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. Thank you Zbig for bringing us Al Qaeda. Your mental gymnastics really paid of. We got to stick it to the USSR, they lost we won, hehe, hehe, ummm.
Bad,
PS, Russian women are still begging for my poll, so yes life is fair.;)
So what does that make you, a very confused OLD boy? I guess you got me there lmfao
Any other personal comments you want to make? When all else fails just change the subject and attack someone smarter than you Benny, is that your game plan? I could write a book about all the psychosis I have gleamed from reading your posts. You are the biggest shit talking child I have ever met. You just can't stop, it's like an illness with you.
No matter what anyone says, a day or two from now you will post the same thoughtless drivel. It will get deconstructed and you will descend into childish name calling. So do me a favor and worry about yourself, because at your age you shouldn't be this bitter, infantile or capricious. And you need to get another hobby, because talking shit on an internet sex forum about Latin America, it's people, it's leaders, it's politics, it's economy, all the while living in their country, is beyond pathetic and if you had any real friends, they might just advise you on just how stupid that really is.
Bad
You just had to scratch that itch didn't you Benn
Do you even read what you type? It makes no sense. And I don't have to repeat anything, you do a good job of repeating yourself. When all else fails just descend to infantile name calling and off the wall comments, your tactics are pretty well documented here on AP. You really can't control yourself, can you? Such lack of control for an centenarian, such immaturity and impulsiveness.
Get a new hobby, because your current one is pathetic, maybe you might want to ask your psych friend to refer you to a good neurocognitive specialist. I am sure they can find out exactly what is wrong with you. Because your psychiatrist buddy didn't seem to do much good, though he probably just threw drugs at the problem.
Bad
