At the end of World War II, the United States executed Japanese soldiers who water boarded Americans, and we criminally prosecuted Americans who water boarded Japanese. War crimes are war crimes, torture does not work, and most intelligence officers know that. It is only the nincompoops who think it does.
We have about 800 overseas military facilities that cost us several hundred billions of dollars a year to maintain. The sun has set on the British Empire, and the only empire in existence now is the American empire. We need to stop making enemies around the world by continuing the American empire.
Osama Bin Laden was our ally in our proxy war against the Russians in Afghanistan in the 1980s. After we stationed hundreds of thousands of troops in Osama’s 'holy land' of Saudi Arabia, basically to protect the Corrupt House of Saud, bin Laden and his organization decided to come after us.
Even if our intentions were pure as driven snow, [which is questionable, the plain fact of the matter is we have bought and own a great deal of trouble we are now in, starting with the overthrow of democratically elected Iranian leader Mohammad Mossadeq in 1953.
You can scream and holler about me being one of the blame America crowd until your head explodes! It will not change the plain facts. And we cannot outspend Al Qaeda like we did to the Russians. There is another little fact that you may not be aware of. Rich and powerful individuals in Saudi Arabia financially support Al Qaeda. Now why did they that? Might one of the reasons be because they want to keep the United States preoccupied, engaged, and weakened?
