Al-Qaeda and Iraq ....the connection
57
More material if you doubt our reasons for being in Iraq .... here.
People hate President Bush so much.... hate him for being right... that they would cause that hatred to come between them and the safety of this country. It seems they would sacrifice this nation rather than admit that he is right in this fight.
Why?
I am just thankful he has been as steadfast as he has been. The thought of the possiblity of suicide bombers on our streets is a sobering one.

You are a dupe of the Bush administration. Bush's reckless, needless and costly invasion had nothing to do with Al Qaida. Our invasion and occupation has created a magnet and training ground for terrorists. Saddam Hussein was an evil man, but he had nothing to do with 9-11 or al-Qaida and he posed no threat to the United States.
counterpunch... the U.S. has always stood up for and fought for freedom. I see the line "truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat" to be exactly what we are fighting now... and it is not against Islam fundamentalism. It has nothing to do with religion.. that which we are fighting. They hide behind religion... fight us in the name of their god. We hide behind no one and fight for the freedom of our country. Yes... they aided the Afghans in their fight against Communism. The Soviet Union did not have to intervene but chose to. Once Afghanistan was free of the Soviet threat.... the Taliban began to work their evil.... and so it goes... and now we are fighting that "truly massive and widely percieved external threat".
Ralph... I am no one's "dupe". As I said... time will be the judge of our fight in Iraq. It sounds like you are saying about Iraq what counterpunch seems to be saying about Afghanistan.... that we built the terrorists... are the cause of the terrorists being there.... rather than the other way around. Do you feel as some off-the-wall thnkers seem to ... that we in fact brought 9/11 on ourselves? Vietnam.... the military was never allowed to do what it should have done there. It was asked to withdraw instead. That was not our war to fight... but once there we should have been allowed to finish it.
indeed i agree with ralph. bush's steadfastness had nothing to do with american values and culture - instead it had everything to do with the military contractors.
it has been the norm since the end of WW2 that american foreign policy is to bomb every nation on earth that defied american aggression by remote control. sept 11 was a reaction on american soil for what america has been doing in south korea, vietnam, afghanistan, iraq and now going to be iran -all in the name of american democracy and values ?
wake up silvestar8 ! do you think the iraqis want democracy the american way ?
bush invaded iraq on the pretext of weapons of mass destruction then executed saddam by proxy to fullfil his dad's unfinished business. the underlying truth is not american democracy nor freedom rather the agenda of the american military contractors. they are the ultimate evil.
To me the most amazing thing is human thought processes. Nothing we say here will change what history will be.. and time is always the judge.... What is interesting is the wide chasm between those thoughts. How one reality can be seen in such varied tones is ... well.. amazing is the only word that comes to mind. I haven't been to Iraq so can't speak for them. I do know that wherever I have traveled America is a place of dreams to by far the majority of people I have spoken to in countries as far apart as Australia and Portugal... including South America. It is truly mindboggling that you are one who feels we deserved 9/11. Why did you not go to Iraq when Hussein was there and speak up for him? Why do you not go there now.. or to Afghanistan... and stand by the Taliban and al Qaeda ... letting them know how badly you feel for them as we.... the Americans.. have been so blatantly aggressive and stifling to them and the whole world? Perhaps you could go share one of their caves or whatever it is they may be living in. Maybe you could go to North Korea and help them exact revenge on us once and for all for the rest of the world that has suffered so direly at our hands.Do you value at all anything you have here? Just curious.

How do you explain that BEFORE 11th september Brzezinski appeal to create a "truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat" in his book The Grand Chessboard ?

Is it a coïncidence if it is him who did this as he claimed himself in this interview ?:
