Reply #126: Why would the military and various govt agencies not be capable of doing [View All]

[rman]

what terrorist would be capable of doing? Are terrorists really that much smarter then Americans?
Or do you think that all the smart people are outside the government and all the stupid people are in the government? That's an implausible theory if i ever heard one.

Of all the clandestine covert operations by the CIA the only one they screwed up was the Bay Of Pigs, and then only because Kennedy messed with it, because he didn't like it.

Moreover, the government is incompetent only if you think they try to make things better for everyone - if you think they really wanted to liberate the Iraqi people and bring them democracy, if you think they really care about the troops and want to limit the number of casualties, if you think they were really trying to help the poor in New Orleans, etc.
