WE must become informed CITIZENS. It is up to each one of us to do this.
Here are a couple of facts that may or may not go over too well...
Osama Bin Laden, was MADE by the US (specifically the CIA). During the 1980s Russian invasion of Afghanistan, OBL was a head contributor to, and field
commander for the Mujahedeen, the Afghan resistance movement against the Russians.
During this conflict, as we were still within the dregs of the Cold War, the CIA assisted the Mujahedeen in all manners. This included financially,
with weapons, equipment, and intelligence. Many significant intelligence contacts were forged during this time with OBL and his operators.
In addition, the CIA supplied a great deal of training in "covert operations" (strange that when these tactics are used against the enemy, they are
"covert operations", yet when they are used against us, they are "terrorism").
If none of this had come to pass, OBL could not have gotten the training and experience to form any kind of cohesive unit for any reason. He would not
have had the intelligence contacts that he needed to coordinate any significant attack against the US. He would not have had the financial ability to
bankroll any activity of the kind.
Also, keep in mind who benefits?
Think about it.
What is the great end of the 911 attack?
The Patriot Act, and the attempted Patriot II Act, which will essentially destroy the US Constitution.
What other possible purpose does Al Quaida serve?
Think about it.
What has been happening with the US and our economy, the presidency, and politically over the past 12 months or so? Everything is heading downhill.
The president is under extreme fire as no WMDs have shown up to justify the war.
We loose soldiers daily, which increases the fire on the president.
The economy continues to collapse.
Political forces alighn against the president and the majority party daily.
Public opposition against the Patriot Act and Patriot II increases daily.
What to do?
Time for another attack!
Nothing better for a diversion than a few more thousand dead Americans. Takes everyones mind off of the economy, politically plotting agains the
majority party, the fact that we started a war for no apparent reason. It increases nationalistic feelings, increases support for the president, and
most importantly, if gives justification for passing the Patriot Acts....
Think about it.
