Media Morons

Geopolitics: The Pak government is ramping up its protest campaign against the CIA’s drone fleet. But the Agency has asked for and received permission to dramatically increase the size of its fleet of flying robots in the Af/Pak theater. Rumors are bubbling that the new drones will be Reapers, not Predators; hunter-killers not surveillance machines. Reapers are 14 times more deadly than Predators. The CIA is ignoring PR implications and declaring a new kind of war against the bad guys: a Drone Blitz.
While this is going on the liberal Media is saying the CIA is incompetent for allowing an Al-Qaeda double agent to kill 7 officers two weeks ago. Is the CIA incompetent? First off, the Al-Qaeda double agent was searched before the fatal meeting with the CIA officers, contrary to what the Media initially reported (sloppy at best malicious at worst). The double-agent was probably wearing an underwear bomb, which is a new Al-Qaeda invention and can only now be countered. So all we are left with is the fact that Al-Qaeda has produced at least one successful double agent.
Since double agents on both sides are inevitable the logical question is: Does the CIA have more and better double agents than Al-Qaeda? The answer: Yes, every drone strike is evidence that a CIA double agent has done his job. The drones don’t fly around randomly and shoot stray bad guys. Drone missions are guided by intelligence gathered by CIA double agents and paid informants. There have been hundreds of drone strikes; therefore dozens of effective CIA double agents are on the job. And CIA agents don’t have to kill themselves, unlike Al-Qaeda’s, which makes our “good-bad guys” vastly more productive; a gift that keeps on giving.
Let’s look around the globe to see how the CIA is doing in the rest of the Long War. Over the weekend, a CIA supported Islamic militia (Ahlu Sunna) attacked a Hizbul Islam controlled town in Somalia and a battle is raging. Hizbul Islam is Al-Shabab’s partner and together they run a fully functioning Taliban state within Somalia. Also over the weekend, there is a separate report that Al-Shabab has attacked another Hizbul Islam town in a different part of Somalia and a second battle is raging. Almost certainly Al-Shabab has not really attacked its partner. It is most likely that a second CIA supported militia pretending to be Al-Shabab has attacked the second Hizbul Islam town. Incidentally, the word Al-Qaeda means “The Camp,” specifically a camp used to train Islamic militias. The CIA is running the exact same kind of camps as al-Qaeda except its camps produce good-bad guys. And the good-bad guys are going to war.
In Yemen, the CIA is directing the Yemeni Army’s airstrikes, making them much more effective. And something interesting is now happening when a Yemeni airstrike hits a Houthi rebel position. Local non-Houthi tribesmen are attacking the bad guys right after the bombs stop falling. The non-Houthi indigenous fighters seem to be achieving very high kill ratios, indicative of CIA training and support.
To put it bluntly, the CIA is kicking nine yards of ass.
