On Afghanistan, We Know a Distraction When We See It (4:01m video & article)

from FireDogLake. Richare Holebrook, the Empire's man in Afghanistan, inadvertently reveals how insignificant the military-industrial complex regards the US Congress. But, of course, unfortunately for us, he's right. The formal apparatus of government in the US is a facade behind which governs the informal rulers of the Empire. Many of these people just finished meeting in secret at the Bilderberg conference in Spain.
I’m not surprised that a member of the executive branch would want us all to believe that a little thing like actual congressional authorization for the use of military force is a "technicality."
