The Nobel Peace Prize winner is shifting command of the CIA and military in the government’s scramble to "win" in Afghanistan, and maintain the empire’s domination of the Middle East. General David Petaeus will be head of the CIA.
This means that the military will be more blended into the covert and secret war in Pakistan, attacks on Yemen and Libya. Leon Panetta, who now heads the CIA will become Defense Secretary.
None of this indicates the U.S. "winning" nor the wars ending. In fact, it seems increasingly likely that U.S. troops will be kept in Iraq beyond the end of this year, to continue enforcing the occupation directly.
Write me with your thinking on this.
