News: U.S. policy on Israel key motive for 9/11 terrorist attacks

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the man who conceived and directed the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, was motivated by his strong disagreement with American support for Israel, said the final report of the Sept. 11 commission.
Mohammed conceived the initial outline of the attack six years before its execution and brought the plan to al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden because he thought he did not have the resources to carry it out on his own.
The Sept. 11 report contains the fullest accounting of Mohammed's overarching role from original conception to supervision of details. Bin Laden, too, was fully involved, selecting all or most of the participants, ordering the substance and the location of their training, and contributing to the timing of the attacks and the selection of targets, the report says.
The report makes a strong case that al-Qaida accomplished the attacks without any hint of state sponsorship. The report also appears to lay to rest the notion, long alluded to by administration officials including Vice President Dick Cheney, that hijacker Mohamed Atta traveled to the Czech Republic to meet an Iraqi intelligence operative in the spring of 2001.
In addition to repeating evidence that Atta was in the United States at the time, the report revealed that the Iraqi agent was not in Prague either when the meeting was alleged to have occurred.
Much of the report's detail comes from interrogations of al-Qaida operatives in U.S. custody, including Mohammed and Ramzi Binalshibh. Some of that information is contradictory; much of it is difficult to corroborate. One CIA analysis cited in the report, for example, is titled "Khalid Shaykh Muhammed's Threat Reporting -- Precious Truths, Surrounded by a Bodyguard of Lies."

(User Info | Send a Message) | | No one can know for sure whether or not Atta was in Prague at the alleged time because the evidence is not conclusive on the point, but that matter is insignificant in relation to the theme of this posting. I believe very strongly that militant Islam, which I believe to be scriptural Islam, is at war with the United States and would be whether or not Israel exists. The Islamic countries are failed societies, and the view that their failures have been cause by the infidels is very widespread. We live in a world in which the sense of victimization and alienation is very powerful, and militant Islam is the greatest manifestation of the victimization phenomenon. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | Sure,
Billions of US dollars annually and military hardware supplied to the Israeli State was one of the stated key reasons for 9/11 which is continually denied by Wash DC and the mainstream media.
Other key reasons that are downplayed are: US military presence in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia; the decades long, bombing, no-fly zone, and US-led sanctions that were killing nearly a million Iraqis (mostly children); and the well-established US policy of installing or supporting dictators in the Middle East, like the Shah of Iran, Saddam Husseim, and the House of Saud.
All of those conditions are relatively unchanged, except that the US military is moving its major military bases out of Saudi Arabia and headquartering them in Iraq. Yet, Wash DC and the mainstream media continue to chant, "9-11 happened because Arab extremist hate our freedom."
So, the reasons for 9-11 are well-known to many. And, it's surprising that several 9-11's were not launched from Latin America, after all of the bloodshed and devastation that Wash DC caused or supported there between the 1950's and 1990's.
It's not just militant Islam that objects to being dominated by US pressure, sanctions, massive military presence, and bombing. Many of the 725 US military installations abroad are resented.
So, like Korea or Okinawa, US military troops will probably be in Iraq for decades by the tens or hundreds of thousands. Unless, like the Vietnamese people, the Iraqi people refuse to be conquered by a foreign imperial power.
Peace to you all,

(User Info | Send a Message) | Just because a terrorist doesn't like how we conduct our policy doesn't mean that we need to rethink how we are doing things. The only way to deal with terrorist is to get them before they get you. This may sound fatalistic, but I think history will prove that appeasement doesn't work, look at Hitler and WWII. The problem is that men are fallen. If man was basically good, then maybe we would have a chance of working things out. Government was establish by God so that evil would be restrained. Look at the pre-flood, antediluvian, world without government, it was a world of chaos and evil. It got so bad God just started all over. On the second take he established government. The authority for government ultimately comes from the ability to enforce capitol punishment, Romans 11. True not everyone that dies because of capitol punishment is guilt, just look at Christ, but that doesn't make it an invalid system. Paul still advocates it in Romans 11 even after Christ was unfairly put to death.
To sum up my post, just because terrorist doesn't like what you are doing, doesn't mean that you should stop it. |
