Today outside of the US embassy in Karachi, Pakistan a suicide bomber crashed a car full of explosives into a US diplomat's convoy killing four people including the diplomat. This all comes hours before the President was scheduled to visit Pakistan on his tour of South Asia.
According to sources at MSNBC, counter-intelligence officials knew that there were a number of extremist groups in Pakistan that posed a threat, though they didn't know when or where they would strike.
What amazes me is that after 9/11 our intelligence is still as shoddy as ever. Yet I'm not so quick to pin blame to the CIA, who I think is doing the best job they can. Because of the mismanagement of this administration, we've put our eggs in too many baskets. Trying to run a war in the middle of another civil war, plus the numerous other plans we have in action, plus tax cuts have left America shorthanded. You know things have gotten stretched to the breaking point when the President and State department officials can't look after their selves. And if they can't do it, what chance do civilians have?
