Paul Rigby Wrote:The obvious likely consequence of this episode is to extend the arc of instability previously created, chiefly by the CIA, in Afghanistan, Pakistan etc. Cui bono? Not Russia or China. Which leaves us with our old friends in Langley. But here we must begin to see the new, broader picture taking shape.
What we are witnessing is the reassertion of the primacy of the CIA over the Pentagon. The new strategy is the classic one - war by plausibly deniable proxy. It's a lot cheaper than the neo-con model, and much more flexible. An ethically-based Islamic insurgency is about to spring up, as spontaneously as a drone.

Kyrgyzstan: Another Colour Revolution Bites the Dust
So what’s the real story behind the coup in Kyrgyzstan ?
by Eric Walberg
Quote:Paul Quinn-Judge, Central Asia director of the International Crisis Group -- reporting from Manas -- said the fear was that such stepped-up US shipping will lead to attacks by the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) and the Islamic Jihad Union, groups which have a loyal following in the restive Ferghana valley, which is divided among those very Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, and has witnessed more than one uprising in the recent past. “The problem with the Northern Distribution Network is obvious,” Quinn-Judge says. “It turns Central Asia into a part of the theatre of war.”
Which is, of course, exactly what Anglo-American strategy requires.
