Fingerprints

Long War: The CIA is not perfect. It told Hillary Clinton that Russia was sending a shipload of attack helicopters to Syria. In reality the shipload of attack helicopters are old choppers that Syria has owned for a long time and Russia rebuilt to be just like new. This sounds like a trivial distinction but it is actually a big blunder. Besides rebuilt helicopters and a bunch of other weapons, Russia is sending troops to the war torn nation (scary). The CIA blunder on the choppers makes it harder for the US State Department to scream bloody murder over the fact that Russia is sending troops in country. The number of Russian troops being sent is very small and there is almost no chance they will see combat supporting Assad, nevertheless this is a pretty ballsy move on the part of the Russians. They are crossing swords with the CIA, so they better watch their ass or it will get handed back to them on a platter.

Yes, we can point to a blunder, but overall the CIA is kicking nine yards of ass. Overnight the Yemeni Army flattened another Al-Qaeda fortress city. The internet is filled with images of liberated villagers dancing in the streets after being freed from the tyranny of the human monsters called Al-Qaeda. It looks like the aftermath of the US Army liberating Paris from the Nazis, powerful good propaganda.

The Yemeni Army is massing around the town of Azzan. This will be the last big battle of the conventional phase of this war. It might be the biggest battle yet. Over the last few weeks the Yemeni Army has killed about 50 Al-Qaeda soldiers and fighters a day. It is a relentless Al-Qaeda killing machine, spitting out dead bad guys like an assembly line.

In the rest of the Long War that is controlled by the CIA we continue to see fingerprints, coming at us in a fast and furious pace. There seems to be a sort of CIA blitz going on. It does indeed look like somebody took the muzzle off the attack dog. In fact it seems as though somebody took the muzzle off the attack dog and then whispered in its ear: "I'm sorry for muzzling you. Please make up for lost time by attacking every global jihadist problem with everything you've got." It seems like somebody wants to get reelected.

Here is the fingerprint of the day: Right before the big vote this weekend, the Egyptian military dissolved the Egyptian Parliament, which is filled with Islamic radicals and semi-radicals. The military then said it will be the legislative body running the country until the results of the election come in. The military is implying that if it doesn't like the results of the election, it might toss out the results. It would do this if the elections resulted in too many Salafist or hard line radical Islamic politicians being voted in.

The Muslim Brotherhood just got kicked in the teeth. The Brotherhood is hardly complaining. It is telling voters to go out and vote and to not worry that the military has placed itself back into a dominate political role. If this structure stays intact it means that Egypt's democracy will be like the one Turkey had for so many decades, i.e. a democracy where the military can void any election if jihadist politicians win too big a piece of the pie, a democracy where Al-Qaeda cannot take over by way of the ballot box.

Always remember, Hitler came to power in Germany through a series of elections, the early elections were fair and square, even the later ones held the possibility of Hitler losing despite his efforts to rig them.

No Muslim country has become a functioning democracy without the Turkish structure, that is without the military reserving the right to boot radical Islamic politicians out of office. It is like saying 1930s Germany will allow free elections except Nazis cannot win. Sounds like a pretty @#$%& good idea.

Egypt is the cultural center of the Arab world. As Egypt goes so goes the entire Arab world. This election is very important. We need CIA fingerprints. We want CIA fingerprints. We pray for CIA fingerprints.
