    American planners and analysts justify US "low intensity warfare" doctrine (death squads) on the basis that:

    -And so the use of death squads is unfortunate but necessary for the maintanance of larger foreign policy priorities. See also: http://www.politicalforum.com/terrorism/266645-cia-public-safety-programme.html

    Accordingly, the only significant challenge to this doctrine is the "internal enemy" who must be subdued with information and ideological warfare of the state religion:

    A mind-boggling task that was extremely successful. You see it all the time.

    When the US gets into another counterinsurgency war the Salvador Option will most likely be used as it was in Iraq. It's standard counterinsurgency doctrine because it works. Who the hell doesnt already know about Obama's Drone terrorism? What percentage of Americans know about these details?

    This is common knowledge. Anyone following Southern Command is aware of this stuff. You're simply stating the obvious which is already factored in to one's views on the legitimacy of the United States as a political regime. No offense to you personally.

    Are you aware of the inconsistency between your support of Obama and your opposition to death squads and Drone War? You are deeply conflicted.
