When I suggested we should peruse al-Qaeda into the border regions of Pakistan, some on Joe User were critical of my suggestion. When Sen. Barack Obama suggested the same thing Republicans were critical of his suggestion.
Guess what—that has been the written policy of the Bush Administration since 2004. That policy came to light as part of the over 1,100 pages of documents that were part of the Tillman investigation. Our policy since 2004 says that certain elite units can enter Pakistan without notifying the Government of Pakistan under the following three situations:
Hot Pursuit of al-Qaeda, Taliban and terrorist command and control targets.
If CENTCOM approves to take action against bin Laden, al-Zawahiri or Mullah Omar.
If the Secretary of Defense approves incursion.
I will accept all apologies from the Joe Users that blasted me for my suggestion.
