Another great idea from Der Rumsfiend

The Pentagon is promoting a global counterterrorism plan that would allow Special Operations forces to enter a foreign country to conduct military operations without explicit concurrence from the U.S. ambassador there, administration officials familiar with the plan said.

The plan would weaken the long-standing "chief of mission" authority under which the U.S. ambassador, as the president's top representative in a foreign country, decides whether to grant entry to U.S. government personnel based on political and diplomatic considerations.

The Special Operations missions envisioned in the plan would largely be secret, known to only a handful of officials from the foreign country, if any.

What a great idea. I don't suppose it would matter to these idiots that foreign countries might see that as not only illegal, but an act of war.

But, hey, it's a great idea to bypass the ambassadors - make them nothing more than titled boobs - because a good number of them might not think it's such a hot idea, either. Some with scruples actually resigned over the Iraq invasion.

Let me just think about this for a moment - the U.S. military sends in Special Ops to "conduct military operations"; the ambassador - along with all the American people working in the embassy - doesn't know about it; the foreign country has a strong objection....."Hmmm, how about we take it out on the American embassy right here in our country? They're sitting ducks, as they haven't been warned or anything."

Over the past two years, the State Department has repeatedly blocked Pentagon efforts to send Special Operations forces into countries surreptitiously and without ambassadors' formal approval, current and former administration officials said.

[...]

In one instance, U.S. commanders tried to dispatch Special Forces soldiers into Pakistan without gaining ambassadorial approval but were rebuffed by the State Department, said two sources familiar with the event. The soldiers eventually entered Pakistan with proper clearance but were ordered out again by the ambassador for what was described as reckless behavior. "We had SF [Special Forces] guys in civilian clothes running around a hotel with grenades in their pockets," said one source involved in the incident, who opposes the Pentagon plan.

Other officials cited another case to illustrate their concern. In the past year, they said, a group of Delta Force soldiers left a bar at night in a Latin American country and shot an alleged assailant but did not inform the U.S. Embassy for several days.

In other words....

....do what you want....you will anyway.
