Key war on terror architect Douglas Feith has now confirmed Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and Wesley Clark in admitting that the so-called War on Terror is a hoax.
In fact, starting right after 9/11 -- at the latest -- the goal has always been to create "regime change" and instability in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Lebanon so as to protect Israel. And the goal was never really to destroy Al Qaeda.
As reported in a new article in Asia Times:
Three weeks after the September 11, 2001, terror attacks, former US defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld established an official military objective of not only removing the Saddam Hussein regime by force but overturning the regime in Iran, as well as in Syria and four other countries in the Middle East, according to a document quoted extensively in then-under secretary of defense for policy Douglas Feith's recently published account of the Iraq war decisions.
And if "terrorist strikes" were a "small price to pay for being a superpower"- and that is the reason that the U.S. government refused to disrupt the alleged planners of the 9/11 attacks - doesn't that add weight to the claim that the U.S. government intentionally allowed the 9/11 attacks to occur? In other words, doesn't this statement by a senior officer of the Joint Chiefs of Staff tend to prove that 9/11 was intentionally allowed to occur as the "New Pearl Harbor" which would allow America to act like "a superpower" and re-make the Middle East in its own (and Israel's) image?
This is not an unreasonable question, especially given that Feith, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and most of the other key architects of the "war on terror" were part of the Project for a New American Century and its plea for a "New Pearl Harbor" to justify expansion of American militarism and regime change in the Middle East.

Confirms what most of us have thought all along!
I wonder what would happen if some reporter from the MSM decided to cover this, would it cause an outrage or just get the reporter fired and debunked?
I feel it would be the latter!

I'm not sure "hoax" is the right word. We did declare war, we did fight, people have died. To say these things did not happen is a pretty substantial claim. It seems the original poster (and opinionated article author being quoted) may be trying to say the War on Terror was created. For that I think there would be little disagreement. The President declared it and made it so. The question circling everyone's mind was/is, "is it the right thing to do?" For that I don't have the answer and I suspect few do. We know that Al Qaeda was created to fight the Soviet Union, we know we cut them off, we know they turned on us, we know that we helped Iraq fight Iran, we know that Saddam was not spending the money we gave him for what he said he was, we know Saddam thumbed his nose at the international community. It's a tough question and this article falls far short of addressing any of it.
Many other questions come to mind are "What is a 'neocon'?" "How are they different than other 'con's?" and "Have all stated that it is a 'hoax'?" The language of this thread seems more propagandized and bent than what government tells us.
