Our bestest buddy (for now…)
The US and its ‘special’ dictator
By Pepe Escobar
“I am delighted to be back in Uzbekistan. I’ve just had a long and very interesting and helpful discussion with the president … Uzbekistan is a key member of the coalition’s global war on terror. And I brought the president the good wishes of President Bush and our appreciation for their stalwart support in the war on terror … Our relationship is strong and has been growing stronger.”
- US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in Tashkent, February 2004 </i>
One of our allies in the WOT(TM) boils people alive. Nice. How many years before we’re invading Uzbekistan to keep “Democracy on the march”? There’s a word for people who practice such behavior.
Hypocrite.
