“Neoconservatives
in the United States continue to control the country’s foreign
policy and have a 'grand scheme' to keep US forces in Afghanistan
'permanently,' an American investigative journalist says. The US-led
coalition fighting the ISIL terrorist group was designed by
neoconservatives, which 'looks like an excuse to keep US troops
engaged in conflicts in Afghanistan and elsewhere for an indefinite
period of time,' said Wayne Madsen — an author in Florida who
specializes in international affairs.”
“'The
neocons are still in charge of US policy and they intend to have US
troops permanently stationed in an arch of belly from Ukraine all the
way to Afghanistan and Iraq in between, northern Syria in between,
and any other country they deem necessary,' Madsen told Press TV on
Saturday in a phone interview.”
“The
New York Times reported on Thursday that the United States is
escalating a secret war in Afghanistan, despite an official end to
foreign combat mission in the country. Washington has increased
secret night raids in Afghanistan since October, when American and
Afghan commandos found a laptop computer with files allegedly
detailing planned terrorist attacks in Afghanistan and neighboring
Pakistan, the newspaper said. The report cited unnamed American and
Afghan officials as saying that US forces are playing direct combat
roles in many of the raids and are not acting as merely advisers.”
