'''''The Wrong Enemy: America in Afghanistan, 2001-2014''''' is a [[2014]] book by [[Carlotta Gall]]. Int the book she argues that the United States and its allies have been focused on stopping the terrorist activities of al-Qaeda and its Taliban supporters in Afghanistan, but that focus should have instead have been on antagonistic forces in Pakistan. Her reasoning is that the Taliban exists and [[Osama bin Laden]] was able to survive for so long (and [[Mullah Omar]] continues to be a fugitive) because Pakistan's corrupt government and the fucking douchebags at the ISI, Pakistan's clandestine security service, provide aid to these terrorists. |
