Afghanistan: Mission accomplished!!
World Saturday, October 31st, 2009Don’t take me wrong. I did not mean that Washington has accomplished its mission of liberating Afghan women (who are in worse conditions than they were under Taliban rule) or carrying out its ‘military solution’ in the country (Taliban still control 80% of Afghanistan outside Kabul and Kandhar) – but it did accomplish it real agenda, which was to establish military bases to protect the Caspian Sea pipeline and restablish the opium supply for the dying Jewish controlled Drugs market.
In April 1998, US Energy Secretary Bill Richardson visited Kabul and discussed the construction of pipeline to transport oil and gas from Central Asia through Afghanistan to the Arabian Sea via Pakistani port of Gawadar. The deal was made on behalf of UNOCAL. Then Mossad carried out the a false-flage bombing operation at US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in August 1998 for which Necons blamed Al-Qaeda. US president Bill Clinton saw it a golden opportunity to divert public attention from his sex scandal with Mossad agent Monica Lewinsky – and fired eight missiles into Afghanistan near Pakistani border. Most of these hitschools, mosques and villages – killing a number of innocent civilians and goats. This infuriated Mullah Omar, who in revenge backed-up from the pipeline deal.
Later, in a ‘religious decree’, Mullah Omer banned the cultivation of opium. The UN Drug Control agency reported that within two years’ period the opium supply from Afghanistan hit the rock-bottom, 176 tons – which created a short supply of drugs in the West and skyrocketed the prices.
Bush administration discussed a regime change in Afghanistan in March 2001. But to do that Washington needed a new Pearl Harbour – which the pro-Israeli operatives in the administration, Pentagon and Mossad were glad to provide. That ‘window of opportunity’ appeared on September 11, 2001 – which was blamed on Al-Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden and Muslims within 24 hours of the WTC and Pentagon attacks. A former German minister of technology, Andreas von Buelow, called the ‘official story’ as stupid hoax: “I wonder why many questions are not asked. For 60 decisive minutes, the military and intelligence agencies let the fighter planes stay on the ground; 48 hours later, however, the FBI presented a list of suicide attackers (which did not appear on the passengers’ boarding list either). Within ten days, it emerged that seven of them were still alive.”
Thierry Meyssan in his book ‘9/11 – The Big Lie’ stated: “The infallible method of achieving these attacks; the use of radio beacons….. It was not necessary in fact to have any hijackers onboard at all, as there was no taking of hostages; by hijacking into the planes’ computers before take-off, it would have been possible to take over the aircraft in flight, thanks to the Global Hawk technology perfected by the Department of Defence. The Boeings would have been under remote control like a drone – a plane without a pilot.”
Karen Kwiatkowski in her recent article, titled Afghanistan a Success – Time to Come Home!, wrote:
“Eight years ago, the public objective was to displace the Taliban and create a non-al-Qaida supporting democracy in Afghanistan.
For a moment, leave aside Washington’s more fundamental objective in the military invasion of Afghanistan and subsequent base-building – security for the trans-Afghanistan pipeline project, restoring the opium exports that had finally subsided under Taliban enforcement by early 2001, and improved military positions vis-a-vis Iran, Pakistan and Russia. The fossil fuel manupilations, drug money and maintaining a justification for our out-sizedmilitary-industrial complex are not the topics here.
The Taliban, while initially displaced from Kabiul, are regaining some political influence. We may claim “mission accomplished” because they are competing for influence in Afghanistan that has other comparable politized ethnicities – and the Taliban no longer receive significant support from Al-Qaeda or Osama Bin Laden.
Osama who?
Yes, that’s what we are saying.
Afghans are infuriated, not at this past summer’s flawed and corrupted election, but also at the previous elections that confirmed US satrap Hamid Karzai. Afghans have international support for thei case against US manipulated election – and we should take the anger of Afghans as confirmation of our success in creating a democratic mindset there.
Afghan also understand some of the basics our own founders and early Presidents grasped, and not just the successful use of insurgency tactics against a far better equipped and funded occupying army that wants to economically exploit and civilize them.
In a recent report of moral troubles for our Marines in the agricultural Helmand region, reporters “talked to the grey-beared men in the village… asked if they wanted school or more doctors, all said such questions were a matter for those who own the fields.
A matter for those who own the fields. In a nutshell, it’s clear that these Afghans get it Government, and collectively provided services and police, should be by the people , of the people and for the people.
Of course, a few setences latter, villagers in Helmand were surprised to hear a new round of elections to be held in. A villager is quoted: “We never even heard of elections. If we had, I suppose, we might have voted.”
While some might have missed the recent election, we may still consider our public mission accomplished. Not only Afghans understand how democracies should work, they appear to be ready and willing to participate in that iconic process of ballot-casting.
What more we could ask? The need is done. Afghanistan is a success by our own standards, and while our public claims of a righteous invasion still sustainable.
The Gateses and McCrystals of the world are the real barbarians, personally and professionally locked on a threadmill that demands ever more blood and more glory at any cost………”
