Obama would never have been made president he was not willing to go along with war plans. These plans were created many years ago, long before 9/11 but of course only the sheep still believe it was not inside job. It had to happen to give the excuses for more invasion, this is not war on terror it war on beliefs that differ from those with the weapons
If Pakistan did not have a deliverable and proven nuclear arsenal you can be assured that the US would have already invaded. These private security contractors (otherwise known as mercenaries) are the 'bridgehead' that the US will use for future planned operations - low profile or high profile - only the US knows. I would have hoped that Obama would have more sense than to risk picking yet another fight.
Waging war through private agencies actually in dual roles cannot be dismissed merely as a soft deception .It introduces disorientation and disarms the environment of their deployment with impunity ironically operating in open, quite protected, with their seemingly harmless even desirable presence if they are engaged in civil society missions.The consequences of such ventures can be more disasterous to the host environment than what spies can expected with espionage. such private operatores must be branded as spies and dealt with accordoing to rules of war.This is a new threat wherever Americans are deployed as they carry their commercial culture in every activity.
