The US Military-Industrial Complex will not be happy until the US has military installations in every single country in the world, and they are capable of triggering a war anywhere at any time at a moment's notice. They want America at a permanent state of war, to maximize their profiteering.

Precise numbers are classified, but one U.S. official said the CIA already has nearly 700 employees in Afghanistan.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/09/20/MN2K19PP1F.DTL"> The influx parallels the U.S. military expansion, and comes at a time when the nation's spy services are under pressure from Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal to improve intelligence on the Taliban and find ways to reverse a series of unsettling trends.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/09/20/MN2K19PP1F.DTL">The CIA's buildup is the latest in a series of escalations there. After having only a handful of operatives in Afghanistan after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the agency's presence climbed to an estimated 150 by the end of 2001, and 300 at the close of 2005. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/49DCBF59-4DDE-4459-8476-1D2EE41A6CAE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
