I've never credited any government with an overabundance of brains, but even the most sinister politicians in the western world aren't that freaking retarded. On the other hand, there are politicians stupid enough to insinuate that this effort is a covert occupation, apparently.

I agree, politicians are stupid and often read too much into things. However the US does have quite a history of military intervention in the region and in the country. And while USAID (and its agencies)does great relief work it also has a history of being used as a cover for some very nasty stuff.
So while it can be said that the politicians are dumb for jumping to those conclusions, it cannot be said that those conclusions are baseless.

Does anyone remember the military occupation of New Orleans after hurricane Katrina? They sent like, 60,000 troops there but nobody was bitching about occupation.

How does one make an occupation of their own territory?
But wasn't the NRA bitching about the evil national guard entering peoples homes and taking away their guns
