Report: Secret Order Lets U.S. Strike Al Qaeda Anywhere

Once again, the New York times has teamed up with a traitorous official within the government to reveal another previously secret and highly successful operation. Traitors all.

Now that the cat is out of the bag however, the Special Operations raids to eliminate islamic terrorists WHEREVER they are must be continued and greatly expanded. The bad guys must know that there is no safe haven anywhere in the world for them to hide. Foreign powers who chose to harbor the terrorists must be sanctioned with every available means to include total war. They must be driven to ground and exterminated as soon as possible. Breaking the back of the islamic terrorist leadership is the most effective means to slow and eventually stop international islamic terrorism. We need to take som lesson from the Phoenix Program as it was carried out in S. E. Asia in the 60's.

Lets hope the new president will continue and expand the Special Operations against global islamic terrorism.

Report: Secret Order Lets U.S. Strike Al Qaeda Anywhere

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military has conducted nearly a dozen secret operations against Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups in Syria, Pakistan and other countries since 2004, The New York Times reported Sunday night.

Citing anonymous U.S. officials, the Times story said the operations were authorized by a broad classified order that then-Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld signed and President George W. Bush approved in spring 2004. The order gave the military authority to attack Al Qaeda anywhere in the world and to conduct operations in countries that were not at war with the U.S.
One such operation was an Oct. 26 raid inside Syria, the Times reported. Washington has not formally acknowledged the raid, but U.S. officials have said the target was a top Al Qaeda in Iraq figure. Syria has asked for proof and said eight civilians were killed in the attack.

In another mission, in 2006, Navy SEALs raided a suspected terrorist compound in Pakistan's tribal areas.
The raids have typically been conducted by U.S. Special Forces, often in conjunction with the Central Intelligence Agency, the newspaper said. Even though the process has been streamlined, specific missions have to be approved by the defense secretary or, in the cases of Syria and Pakistan, by the president.

A Defense Department spokesman had no comment Sunday night on the Times report.
