PB Fidel is of the opinion that the Taliban/Al Qaeda are run by the Americans, to provide a pretext for a phony war by which they can realize geostrategic aims and domination of the region.
Absolutely, yes. I am of the opinion that Taliban mullahs and Taliban commanders are still controlled by Pakistan's army intelligence agency as well as the CIA since the 1990s. OBL is/was Omar's brother in law. Taliban still enjoy widespread support among Pakistan's half million man army from top to bottom. USA with General Zia's help and financing from US taxpayers Saudi Arabia created the Taliban(as well as the US-backed muhahideen of the 1980s supported by the likes of Hamid Karzai, China, USA, Iran, Turks, Saudis etc etc.
And they created "al-Qaeda". US-CIA and Pakistani ISI support continues today according to various US whistleblowers. Successive US regimes since at least the Reaganauts were and continue to be corrupt to the core and have sold everything from stinger missiles to nuclear weapons technology to the Pakistani military, who in turn control the Taliban and "Qaeda" as well as dozens of splinter factions.
And, there is no such thing as al-Qaeda.
al-Qa'eda = al-CIA'da
ETA: Acshully, Qaeda = al-ISI-CIA'da as before only different. This business with Zardari is only a cosmetic leadership. Pakistan is still a US-backed military dictatorship. The cold war is now a colder war. And this other bizness with ISI accusing the CIA of collaborating with Taliban is all for public consumption. It's an illusion. The CIA and ISI have not fallen out of love for each other. Both still control the Taliban and "al-Qaeda" as before. And everything under the sun is the same only slightly different.
What an utterly ahistorical and simplistic view of this world.
1. Create? How silly. You don't 'create' a religious movement by the Taliban. It was nascent and existed in Afghanistan for a long time - it was created by poverty. It was a reaction. You underestimate the capability of the third world to organize effective resistance, as unpleasent and unsavory as the resistance must be. I suppose that the Soviet Union was the sole creator of every national liberation and left-wing insurgency around the world?
2. China. China helped more than the US did. In fact, from all of the historical records there is no support from the US for the creation of a Pakistani nuclear program. It was indigenous and they sought help from other nations - in fact Libya would've attempted to be more included than the US. Why would the Yanks give a vassal state a weapon of mass destruction? I hope that you understand that this makes no sense. Whatsoever. Furthermore, the nature of the program (Project 706) was so potentially destabilizing to US-Pakistani relations that the CIA sent in crews to try to erode progress and ruin the base of the program - the Pakistani intelligence and military thwarted this plan.
3. Al-Qaeda exists. It is absolutely foolish to believe otherwise. Falseflags do happen, the CIA does orchestrate them. Al-Qaeda may be the bastard offspring of American involvement with radical Islam, but it is the work of a man who certainly does exist. His name is Osama Bin-Laden. I had the opportunity to meet one of his nephews when I was at UoT - I figured out who the guy was because Osama Bin-Laden existed then. Whether or not he is alive is insubstantial, to assume that the United States is so omnipotent smacks of some sort of longing for a Godhead of Evil in international relations.
Why would the United States destabilize friendly regimes and potentially force themselves off of Saudi Arabia (the beating American heart of the current American dream (hypocricy, control, oil, oligarchy))?
And no, Pakistan is not solely a US-backed military dictatorship - it is a deeply fractured country that exists due to a variety of factors. To assume that an entire nation like Pakistan is solely the puppet of the United States great underestimates the Pakistani people. It bothers me.
But further to the point, all of this deludes from the point of the current goings on in Libya. I've contributed enough to the drift, let us take this to another thread?
I heard it is suspected he may have fled south of the country.
