51:50Now PlayingFred Branfman, author of the Alternet article "Mass Assassinations Lie at the Heart of America's Military Strategy in the Muslim World," discusses several common-sense reasons "why they hate us" (it isn't our freedom), how the "McChrystal ratio" exposes the bankruptcy of COIN strategy, the incredibly broad scope both in number of forces employed and geographic space of U.S. assassination policy, why (unlike CIA ops) these killings don't require Presidential approval or reports to Congress, how Petraeus's strategy seems focused on his short term career goals, why taking on 1.3 billion Muslims is national suicide and how the upcoming Republican midterm election sweep will hasten U.S. economic and societal collapse.
Here is the 3 minute video of John Pilger interviewing former CIA officer Duane Clarridge, who is presently advising CIA assassination efforts in Pakistan.
