Is “Slow Withdrawal” An Answer to Rape?
By Gordon Duff
America went to Afghanistan under false pretenses. Even if you don’t buy in on the mountain of hard evidence that 9/11 was a staged false flag operation, there were no connections to Afghanistan or Osama bin Laden, not then and not now.
Did we attack Afghanistan because our former allies, the Mujaheddin, renamed “Taliban” had bad grooming practices or the more obvious reasons:
■The oil companies were desperate to have a gas pipeline through Afghanistan, tens of billions of dollars were involved and the Taliban was proving “tough” in negotiations.
■A puppet dictatorship in Afghanistan, such as with Karzai, would allow the “CIA and friends” to take over the world’s narcotics business. (our only real success in Afghanistan)
■Sinking America in a hopeless and unwinable war might just kill both Pakistan and Iran in process.
■US = Dead
■Afghanistan = Dead
■Pakistan = Dead
■Iran = Dead
■Iraq = Dead
■Israel = Picking up the pieces, pocketing the spoils
■Congress and the Pentagon = in for a “piece of the action”
Afghanistan is simple to understand. The invasion was all lies, as with Iraq. The Taliban were the legal rulers. Many of the American “allies” in the Northern Alliance were druglords, more were infamous war criminals. Thousands of Afghans were murdered during the American takeover.
The new government has spent hundreds of billions of dollars, is hopelessly corrupt, the army America bought for them is half Taliban, half uninspired and unmotivated. Recent evaluations have shown almost every cent spent on “nation building” was stolen. Every criminal in the world has flocked to Kabul joining the kleptocratic Karzai’s mob and their USAID/CIA partners, robbing America blind and banking tens of billions in drug money.
Afghanistan will have left over 150,000 American troops killed, wounded or permanently disabled at a financial cost of over $1.2 trillion dollars over the next 20 years. This doesn’t include other war costs.
Listening to the discussions, you can’t even call them “left” or “right,” is perplexing. We raped Afghanistan. We are still doing it. Karzai and his thugs are simply helping hold “her” down for us, that and taking their own turns.
Today, no one begins to guess why we are there. Some talk of Al Qaeda. No intelligence report ever place the number at higher than 300. Recent reports run as low as a dozen. Honest reports would take it further. There has never been any proof that Al Qaeda has ever been in Afghanistan or Pakistan. Further still, there really isn’t any proof Al Qaeda has ever existed at all.
The whole conflict is a made up game, invented to distract the public, a phony war, an imaginary enemy, a replacement for the Soviet Union. If you don’t have an enemy, simply attack a country filled with the most warlike and belligerent people on earth. This is what we did. We had no enemy. We needed an enemy. We created an enemy where there was none.
Without a foreign enemy, Americans might start looking at their real enemy, the government itself, a government that has long operated well outside any constitutional mandate, a government that rigs elections, votes itself pay raises, puts itself above the law and betrays the American people just like the dictatorships we love to criticize.
Washington rules America, it doesn’t govern. In fact, there is increasing evidence that it does neither. Had an alien race taken over and chosen the most cowardly and reprehensible to rule, to exploit and enslave in their name, the end result would likely resemble what we have today.
In a recent trip to Nigeria, I sat through meetings discussing corruption. Nigerians openly admit their government is corrupt and are desperate for ways to bring it under control. The word is out, ‘there is a new sheriff in town.” The real product of corruption is poverty and suffering. Nigerians have had enough.
The more they talked about what was going on there, the more and more it began to sound like they were describing Washington DC. America is now getting a dose of poverty and suffering here at home, all brought on by unbridled corruption.
