Play it again Sam

 

In Februar 2008 Robert Gates, American Secretary of Defence, was in Münich, attending the International Conference on Security, urging the European NATO members to increase their participation in the war effort in Afghanistan. Basically he was saying that there are terrible terrorist threats hanging over Europe and it was incomprehensible that Europeans were so blind to the impending menace.

Ah, these Europeans! How naïve and candid and irresponsible... What would they do without American's good advice and benevolent help?

The Euro sissies fail to be impressed by the huge aviation (jet fighters, helicopters, drones, missiles etc.) the navy (their aircraft carriers are formidable), the infantry, and all the most modern weaponry terrorists can rely on (slings, cell phones, Kalashnikovs etc.). And yet, they should know all these weapons could be deployed within 45 minutes and reach the heart of Europe and cause unspeakable devastation.

No, wait, that was Rumsfeld's line 8 years ago to whom Joshka Fisher, German Minister for foreign affairs, replied: "We're not convinced Mr Secretary".

Now, what could be the ultimate goal of NATO occupation of Afghanistan? To turn the local peasants into good western allies, sharing American values? Or to eradicate every single one suspected of links with someone suspected of would be terrorist activity or even sympathy for freedom fighters?

But because as far as I can see, the Afghans so far have done nothing to the US which went there in the first place to catch OBL. This goal has been discarded long ago.

Afghanistan has been invaded and has been occupied for 8 years now and you wonder why Afghans wage a war with next to no weapons against the invaders. This is really incomprehensible... Should America be invaded and occupied by a Muslim coalition, of course Americans would welcome them with music and flowers for sure.

Americans have been understandably traumatized by the 9/11 attacks to the point they've lost the most basic common sense and now wage a war against a country stuck in the beginning of the Middle Ages and present it as the ultimate threat on peace in the world.

In the mean time, just in January, there have been at least 3 shooting sprees across the US, with American citizens killing other American citizens. Notwistanding the 40.000 dead on American road every year. But that is irrelevant, imaginary terrorist attacks are likely to wipe out half the country according to the American warmongers.

Remember the announcement last year of a failed plot in New-York airport that, had it succeeded, would have caused havoc to an unprecedented scale? Hmmm? Who? How? We haven't heard any information about that since. Yeah, for security reason of course..

Hasn't the terrorist alert permanently oscillated between red and orange every single day since 9/11? Talk about mass conditioning into fear. Be scared Americans, be very scared, the Bogeyman is after you.

But I have a question here. Isn't all the American frenzy to rally allies in their insensible war on Afghanistan another smoke screen set up by the American military-industrial complex so as to bolster its activity and in the end, its turnover? Who do you think would be the ultimate recipients?

And also, isn’t' it a way to secure more American bases around the globe with Europeans gently invited to contribute to a more imperialistic hegemony of the only Superpower?
