‘Al-Qaeda, Taliban Created by UK, US’

George Galloway:  Warrior for the poor, downtrodden and dispossessed; a man of courage, integrity and unshakable moral responsibility

Not only did we create these people (al-Qaeda and Taliban) in the first place but we have reached for them as a weapon of choice to deploy against our enemies.” - British MP George Galloway

Al-Qaeda and the Taliban are a “creation” of the US and Britain used as a “weapon of choice” against enemies, British MP George Galloway says.

Utilizing blistering, brutal honesty Galloway eviscerates evildoers

“Al-Qaeda and their forefathers and the Taliban are all inventions of the US and Britain… Al-Qaeda were only ever in Afghanistan because we helped to send them there. We armed them, financed them, called them heroes and freedom fighters [against the Soviet Union in the 1980’s],” the MP for Bradford West said in his latest Good Night with George Galloway show on YouTube.

“Not only did we create these people in the first place but we have reached for them as a weapon of choice to deploy against our enemies,” he added.

Galloway also accused the British government of training al-Qaeda terrorist in Fort William, Scotland.

The British Home Office has declined to comment on Galloway’s remarks.

U.S. creation and financing of "Al Qaeda" and the Taliban are open secrets

Last week, the Bradford West lawmaker also said that Britain and the US have armed most of the people who killed the US ambassador in Libya on September 11.

Galloway told RT that the US and Britain have been acting on the principle that my enemy’s enemy is my friend, therefore arming terrorists who then point their guns at their very mentors in London and Washington in a monster turned on monster scenario.

Small wonder Taliban refuses to negotiate:  Winners simply don't have any reason too, and besides, they have already emptied U.S. coffers of tens of billions of dollars in both hard cash and American weapons which are and have long been used to kill U.S. military personnel

“[There are] international terrorists inside Afghanistan because Britain and America sent them there in the 1980’s to fight the [Soviet Union’s] Red Army on the principle that my enemy’s enemy is my friend,” he said.

“But of course they are not in Afghanistan any more. They’re in Syria where Britain and America have sent them next. The very people who murdered the American ambassador in Benghazi were the people that we sent into Libya and bombed Libya so that they could come to power there.”

Meanwhile, Galloway said on his YouTube posting that the 9/11 attacks in the US were “clearly a conspiracy” and the terrorists were trained in the US, “learned how to fly planes” and then “flew themselves into the twin towers.”

NYT Editorial : No Rush to War

Bogus "paper of record" New York Times changes stripes from sycophantic, ass-sucking, war mongering Bushite rag to publication of peacenicks when suddenly the wind blows deadly from anti-American sentiment; former support of illegal Afghan and Iraq wars will not be forgotten, forever enshrined on the net

New York Times
09/14/2012

Amid the alarming violence in the Arab world, a new report about the costs of a potential war with Iran got lost this week. It says an attack by the United States could set back Iran’s nuclear program four years at most, while a more ambitious goal — ensuring Iran never reconstitutes its nuclear program or ousting the regime — would involve a multiyear conflict that could engulf the region.

Where was the NYT when these Patriots were protesting in 2007?

The significance of the report by The Iran Project is not just its sober analysis but the nearly three dozen respected national security experts from both political parties who signed it: including two former national security advisers, Brent Scowcroft and Zbigniew Brzezinski; former Undersecretary of State Thomas Pickering; and the retired Gen. Anthony Zinni.

Yet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel is trying to browbeat President Obama into a pre-emptive strike. On Tuesday, he demanded that the United States set a red line for military action and said those who refuse “don’t have a moral right to place a red light before Israel.” Later, Mr. Obama telephoned him and rejected the appeal. On Friday, Mr. Netanyahu suggested in an interview that Israel cannot entirely rely on the United States to act against Iran’s program.

Leaders need flexibility and ambiguity, not just hard and fast red lines. And it is dangerous for Mr. Netanyahu to try to push the president into a corner publicly and raise questions about Washington. Is that really the message he wants to send to Tehran?

New York Times now shamefully attempts to re-write own past warmongering history, alliance with Bush/Obama

There is no reason to doubt President Obama’s oft-repeated commitment to keep Iran from having a nuclear weapon. But 70 percent of Americans oppose a unilateral strike on Iran, according to a new poll by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, and 59 percent said if Israel bombs Iran and ignites a war, the United States should not come to its ally’s defense.

Iran is advancing its nuclear program in defiance of the United Nations Security Council. That’s a danger to Israel, the region and all efforts to curb proliferation. But administration officials and many other experts say Iran is still a year or more away from producing an actual weapon, and, if it begins to build one, they will know in time to take retaliatory action.

NYT will never live down Bush/Cheney blatant support, just as guilty of War Crimes

The best strategy is for Israel to work with the United States and other major powers to tighten sanctions while pursuing negotiations on a deal. It is a long shot, but there is time to talk. And that’s where the focus must be.

A version of this editorial appeared in print on September 15, 2012, on page A22 of the New York edition with the headline: No Rush to War.
