The Truth About Khalid Sheik Mohammed
And 11
th
Sept 2001

Prefix

Lets start off Sept 11
th
2001 Terrorist Attacks in New York,
USA was A False Flag Terrorist Attack upon United
States of America, concocted by a handful of Israelis and
dual passport Americans and carried out by the
resources of the Mossad, CIA, US Military, FBI and NSA
with all other agencies and Government Depts falling in
line behind them and the Official Story released to the
Mainstream Media.

With Vice President Dick Cheney transferring all
operational powers over the Police, FBI, CIA, NSA, Secret
Service, US Military over to himself for the day, and ran
Anti - Terrorism Drills / Exercises with the US Military as
cover for this False Flag Terrorist Attack to go ahead.

By Dick Cheney running these drills exercises at the
same time as the real suppose to be Terrorist Attack
happening he tied up Americas resources from fighting
back.

What Dick Cheney did was to commit Treason he
helped stage a Terrorist Attack against his own country,
killing his own people in cold blood.





5
Then to cover his crimes up he authorized the set up of
an assassination squad to go about and kill any World
Leader, Politician, Journalist, TV Producer, Independent
Bloggers Reporters in the world who tried to expose
Bush Cheney crimes and this False Flag Terrorist
Attack.

Please read more here: - Seymour Hersch: 'Executive
Assassination Ring' Reported Directly to Cheney
Office "Theyve been going into countries, not
talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief,
and finding people on a list and executing them and
leaving"

http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=10330

While all this was happening already drawn up and
sitting on the desks of Attorney Generals Office was
(Patriot Terrorism Laws) already written, drawn up
ready to be introduced into certain countries that had
already fallen to these Nazi Fascist murdering, thieving
dogs who had secretly already decided to turn their
countries into Police States without the consent of the
people of the country.

Countries included: - United States, Canada, Mexico,
Australia, England, Germany, France, Holland, Denmark,
and Italy.





6
Motive behind Sept 11
th
2001 Terrorist Attacks

Realization of the goals as formulated in the policy paper
Clean Break,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Clean_Break:_A_New_Strategy_for_
Securing_the_Realm

As well as the realization of the goals of the Project of
the New American Century.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Cent
ury

It all comes down to the strengthening of the American
global supremacy by creating an excuse for obtaining a
larger military presence in the Middle East where some
60 percent of the global oil reserves are located (PNAC-
goal), as well as improvement of the geo-strategic
position of Israel by eliminating its most important
enemies (Iraq, Iran, Syria > Clean Break-goal).

The link with oil explains why people like Dick Cheney
were on-board somebody who made his career in the oil
business and perfectly understood that oil was
becoming scarce in the near future ('peak-oil').

So after the 11
th
Sept 2001 Terrorist Attacks United States
of America declares A War On Terror upon the Whole
World, using Terrorism as an excuse to cover the above
goals, ambitions, objectives.

The American people would not of went along with their
plans unless a pretext excuse was used to justify the
coming Wars aboard.

7
The Bush Cheney administration created the illusion
that the motherland America was under attack from this
mythical unseen, all knowing enemy Al Qa`eda and
Bin Ladden which have a office on every street corner
recruiting Jihad Muslims, War Protestors, 911 Truthers,
etc to fight against motherland America and just want
to attack them because they are jealous of their
freedoms.

The corrupt, incompetent, compliant, obedient media
mostly Zionist Jewish controlled propagated even until
today this utter crap, bullshit, rubbish, lies mythical Al
Qa`eda is out to attack America.

But the worlds people thanks to the Internet are awake
to these lies and laugh at the utter crap the Americans
sprout.

What makes this Terrorist Attack & Torture carried out
by the CIA & US Military more sickening on innocent
people rounded up in Afghanistan and sent to Gitmo, a
lot of people high up in both organizations knew 11
th

Sept 2001 Terrorist Attacks were a Inside Job carried out
by those above.

These people knew there was No Al Qa`eda!

These people knew the Al Qa`eda crap the Bush
Cheney administration was pushing, was mythical non-
existent!

These people knew America was a signatory to that UN
treaty agreement on torture.



8
Yet they still participated in United States of America
Fake Fraudulent War On Terror knowing full well a
lot of the people they were about to kidnap Illegally
from countries (Rendition) to secret prisons, locations to
be questioned and tortured, what they knew about
Terrorism, and knew about 11
th
Sept 2001 Terrorist
Attacks, knew nothing and had no part to play in the
Inside False Flag Terrorist Attacks.


So do you understand what was going on?

Project of the New American Century.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Cent
ury

American CIA & US Military were kidnapping innocent
people world wide, mostly Muslim Arabs taking them
to secret prisons leased in different countries by the CIA,
questioning and torturing these innocent people who
had nothing to do with 11
th
Sept 2001 False Flag Terrorist
Attacks and knew nothing about Terrorism.

The CIA & US Military were torturing innocent people
into confessing they had something to do with these
11
th
Sept 2001 Terrorist Attacks and Terrorism in general,
when they knew these innocent people knew nothing.

Mean while all this was going on the Bush Cheney
administration, CIA, Pentagon, Homeland Security were
releasing Fake False Terrorism Terrorist Attack Plot
stories to the media which the media printed as gospel
truth.

9
Please read here and see all the Fake False Stories
which were released to the media

So you dont believe the WAR ON TERROR is Fake?

Here is the proof, Fake False Terror Alerts released by
Bush Cheney Cabal And the Americans

http://binladden.blogspot.com/

Then the USA invaded Afghanistan using Al Qa`eda
Terrorist who attacked America on 11
th
Sept 2001 were
hiding out there and training at Terrorist Camps as a
excuse, and when you do your research, study all these
supposedly Terrorist Camps were run & funded by the
American CIA, and had been closed down before US
invasion.

While in Afghanistan in the early part the US Military
advertised and went around offering rewards to Turn In
A Al Qa`eda Terrorist the poor people of Afghanistan
went wild turning in their neighbors, friends, relatives
they hated all to collect the reward money being
offered.

Some $8 Billion US Dollars paid out in reward money was
counterfeit being supplied to the US Military by our
friends over at the CIA no less.

The US Military went around busting into peoples homes
arresting people left right and center, even the Pakistani
Military, Afghanistan Military were turning in innocent
people all to collect some of this $8 Billion or more that
was on offer as reward money.


10
Most of these innocent people arrested were then
transferred and loaded onto US Planes and went to
Gitmo in Cuba and have been there ever since, although
there has been two released periods where some
inmates have been returned after proven to be
innocent.

The Bush Cheney cabal ratchet up the Fake False
media stories about 11
th
Sept 2001 Terrorist Attacks and
tried to connect Muslims in general up with being
Terrorist.

This was a mass brainwashing job going on by the Bush
Cheney cabal which the CIA & Pentagon willing went
along creating these fake false stories to demonize
Muslims and Muslim countries in general.

So when USA invaded Afghanistan & Iraq the American
general public wouldnt feel sorry for these Muslims and
what would happen to their countries in the invasions.

Because all Americans would remember and had been
brainwashed by now by the obedient media was Al
Qa`eda and Muslims attacked America on 11
th
Sept 2001.
Mean while back in New York, Police and FBI were
rounding up some of the 200 Israeli Mossad Agents
Operatives involved in carrying out the 11
th
Sept 2001
Terrorist Attacks.

Traitorous Treasonous dual citizen Zionist Jews inside
the US Justice Dept like Michael Chercoff, who latter
went onto become Head of Homeland Security, let these
Israeli Mossad agents go, and deported them back to
Israel without charge, covering up their crimes.

11
Please listen to the following recording from 11
th
Sept
2001 Terrorist Attacks, The New York Police caught a
White Van with a few Arab looking guys in it full of
explosives.

The guys turned out to be Israeli Mossad agents
connected to the attacks, and the explosives in the
vehicle are the same what was planted in the WTC
Buildings.

POLICE RADIO CALL about MOSSAD Israeli terrorists were
caught on Sept 11 with a truck bomb at the base of the
twin towers.

Even today we have different sections of the CIA & US
Military still out there creating this mythical, unseen, all
knowing secret enemy Al Qa`eda take for example the
following.

We have the CIA creating Fake False Islamic Jihad Al
Qa`eda type sites like Jihad Unspun.com

Disinformation: CIA Posing as Al-Qaeda?

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article4513.htm

Then we have another section of the CIA who hire these
Muslims on their books and employ them to fight in
Wars, United States of America gets involved in.

Here is a good example: -

12
Vinnell bombing leader Khaled Jehani, fought for the CIA
in Afghanistan, Bosnia & Chechnya

Members of the Moroccan terror group Salafi Jihadi
fought for the CIA in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Dagestan,
Bosnia and Kosovo

USS Cole Bomber Jamal al-Badawi fought for the CIA in
Bosnia

Zacarias Moussaoui fought for the CIA in Chechnya

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed fought for the CIA in
Afghanistan

Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman fought for the CIA in
Afghanistan

Head of Egyptian Islamic Jihad Ayman al Zawahiri, fought
for the CIA in Bosnia

Abdullah Azzam, "one of the ideological founders of
Hamas" fought for the CIA in Afghanistan

His brother Ayman al-Zawahiri fought for the CIA in
Kosovo
CIA "Arranged" for Passports for Al Qaeda Terrorists &
Brought Them to the USA to Recruit for Jihads

If the Bush Cheney administration is guilty of
Treason then so is Barrak Obama because he has just
carried on with their policies and protecting them.




13
And any Western Government Leaders who stand behind
George Bush Dick Cheney and Barrak Obama in pushing
these 11
th
Sept 2001 Lies.

The likes of Ex Prime Ministers of England Tony Blair &
Gordon Brown, Ex Prime Ministers of Australia John
Howard, Kevin Rudd and the Now Prime Minister Julia
Gillard also stand Guilty Of Treason of Aiding The above
Leaders into carrying out a Terrorist Attack against the
American people.

Introduction

USA Tortures Fake KSM Into Confessing He Did 11
th

Sept 2001 Attacks

Thanks to Christopher Bollyn independent researcher
and investigator the United States Of America War On
Terror has been proven a FRAUD again.

http://www.bollyn.com/donate

And Chris has busted 11
th
Sept 2001 Attacks & The War On
Terror wide open.

Politicans and Mainstream Media are refusing to talk
about the following, I wonder why?

I mean if the Official story that Bin Laden and Al Qa`eda
were behind the Terrorist Attacks on 11
th
Sept 2001 why
the following story your about to read?







14
Some simple questions are posed: -

1) If the Official story about 11
th
Sept 2001 are true
about Bin Laden and Al Qa`eda doing these attacks,
why are the Americans torturing an innocent man
who isnt KSM.

2) Why the deceit at trying to present a innocent man,
Fake KSM as the real one in Court and run a
Kangaroo Court at prosecuting a Fake for these
crimes.

3) This proves once again the Official story about 11
th

Sept 2001 to be false, and the high up people within
Government, Police, FBI, CIA and US Military know
the 911 Official story to be false.

The following story also proves The Obama
Administration know the truth about 911 and tried to
trick people with the below deception, but had to drop
the Court case because too many people in America
knows what the real KSM looks like.

Chapter 1

Obama U-turn: US to try 9/11 accused at
Guantanamo
Thank goodness for the government turning the justice
system upside-down for our safety.


15
"For the sake of the safety and security of the American
people, Im glad the president reconsidered his position
on how and where to try these detainees," says Mitch
McConnell.
WASHINGTON (AFP) - In a major about-face, the Obama
administration said on Monday that 9/11 mastermind
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged co-
conspirators will be tried by a military tribunal at
Guantanamo rather than a civilian court in New York.
Attorney General Eric Holder announced the U-turn,
saying that the accused 9/11 plotters could have been
successfully prosecuted in a federal court, but blamed
Congress for approving restrictions blocking trials of
Guantanamo inmates in the United States.

Chapter 2

The Real Reason for the Cancellation of the 9-
11 Trial
Officials in New York City took David Axelrod aside and
told him that the city could not allow the trial of Khalid
Sheik Mohammed and other 9-11 suspects to go ahead.
I never expected that this trial would go ahead in
anything resembling an open court.
It is clear that this trial cannot go ahead.
The media discussion about the high cost of security is
just the cover story.
16
The FBI and U.S. government does not want to be
exposed as having stolen another person's identity to
push the fraudulent "War on Terror."
After a dinner in New York on Dec. 14 2009, Steven
Spinola, president of the Real Estate Board of New York,
pulled aside David Axelrod, President Obamas closest
adviser, to convey an urgent plea Move the 9/11 trial out
of Manhattan.

Source: "U.S. Drops Plan for a 9/11 Trial in New York
City", New York Times, January 29, 2010
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/30/nyregion/30trial.html
The Obama administration will not have an open 9-
11 trial because it would expose the fraud that the
person said to be Khalid Sheik Mohammed is not the
terror mastermind of 9-11.
He is, in fact, not even Khalid Sheik Mohammed.
The person said to be KSM is a "feeble-minded" man
named Ahmed Abdul Qudoos.
He has been scapegoated and made to fill in for the real
KSM, who was killed in Pakistan.



17

The real KSM studied mechanical engineering at North
Carolina Agricultural and Technical University.

The man said (by U.S. officials) to be Khalid Sheik
Mohammed is clearly not a bright-eyed and articulate
English speaking engineer.
Is the so-called KSM
really Ahmed Abdul Qudoos?
18
The U.S. government cannot hold an open trial in the
United States with the false KSM because there are
people in the United States who knew and remember
the real KSM, such as his former teachers in North
Carolina.
Furthermore, the real KSM was a person who had
travelled and worked extensively across Asia and had
lived in many foreign countries, from the United States
to the Philippines to Bosnia.
With this level of education and foreign travel, the real
KSM would have a much greater command of the English
language than what we find in the transcript.
There were no defense attorneys or members of the
press allowed to the secret hearing in which the military
tribunal heard the confession of the alleged architect of
9/11.
"The Detainee served as the head of the Al Qaida military
committee and was Osama bin Laden's principal Al Qaida
operative who directed the 11 September 2001 attacks
in the United States," the statement said.
I was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z,
the detainee said through an interpreter, according to
the transcript of the hearing.
He also claimed responsibility for the 1993 bombing at
the World Trade Center.
The detainee sat with an Arabic interpreter to his left
and a U.S. military officer who was his official
representative to his right.


19
"I not take the oath" the detainee said in broken
English about why he was not taking an oath in the
court. "Just to explain for this one, does not mean I'm
not saying that I'm lying. When I not take oath does not
mean I'm lying."
"I understand," the tribunal president said.
But how can such meaningless gibberish coming from an
unidentified detainee who has not taken an oath be
seen by anyone as a credible confession?
No photographs accompanied the release of the KSM
confession and there are very few photos of the person
who is accused of being the terrorist mastermind of our
time.
To see if the disheveled, hairy, and overweight person
said to be Khalid Sheikh Mohammed resembled the
mechanical engineering student that studied in
Greensboro in the 1980s, I contacted the engineering
faculty of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical
University.
David E. Klett, a retired professor of thermodynamics,
had the real KSM in several of his classes.
Asked about the photos of the person said to be the
terror mastermind, Klett said, "I did not recognize that
person, I never saw that face before."

When and Where was Khalid Sheikh

Ahmed Abdul Qadus, the man arrested in a raid which
supposedly led to the capture of Khalid Sheikh
Mohammed, was held in solitary confinement for 25
days and then released from jail in Pakistan.

See: http://www.dawn.com/2003/03/27/nat6.htm

Photo: Ahmed Abdul Qadus, the man at whose home
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was said to have been
arrested, was reportedly reunited with his family after
25 days in solitary confinement on March 26, 2003
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the alleged al-Qaeda
financier Mustafa al-Hisawai were reportedly arrested at
the home of Qadus in Rawalpindi on March 1, 2003, in a
joint operation between the FBI and Pakistani
authorities.
The family of Qadus, who is described as "feeble
minded," insisted he is innocent and claim the al-Qaeda
men were never at the house.
An AP story reported on the family's claims the following
See: http://bouwman.com/911/Operation/Pakistan/Mar--3.html
On Sunday, Qadus' family vehemently denied he was
involved in terrorism and insisted he was alone at home
with his wife and children when authorities burst in
around 3 a.m. Saturday.


23
They said about 25 heavily armed agents, some in civilian
clothes and some in blue uniforms, stormed into the
house, rifling through drawers and pointing their guns
at the children.
They quickly took Qadus away and kept his wife and
children under guard in a small bedroom as they
searched the house, Qadus' sister, Qudsia Khanum, said.
Agents, all of whom appeared to be Pakistani, took a
computer hard-drive, documents and U.S. dollars from
the house, the family and security officials said.
Khanum said the computer had no Internet hookup and
that her brother didn't even know how to use it.
"He is slow, and he is so innocent and friendly, it is
inconceivable that he could be involved in intrigue.
People run rings around him because it would never
occur to him that they might lie or take advantage of
him," she said from the family's living room in an upscale
neighborhood of the city.
Qadus' father, Abdul Qadus, is a prominent
microbiologist who worked in Africa for the World
Health Organization for many years before retiring,
Khanum said.
The 42-year-old Qadus, however, could not hold down a
job and had lived at home with his parents his entire life,
she said.
Qadus' mother, Mahlaqa, is a local leader of Jamaat-e-
Islami, one of the main hardline religious parties in
Pakistan.

24
The family speculated the arrest was a political ploy to
discredit her and the party, which is part of an
ultraconservative coalition that came in third in last
year's parliamentary elections, largely on the strength of
a virulently anti-American platform.
Ameer-ul Azeem, spokesman for Jamaat-e-Islami, said
Qadus had not done anything wrong.
"Arabs, Afghans, Sudanese, it is not a sin to host them as
guests, unless their crime is proven," he said when asked
whether Qadus or his family had links with al-Qaida.
Interior Ministry spokesman Iftikhar Ahmed brushed off
the family's claims, saying Qadus, Mohammed and the
third man were all arrested at the family's home.
The bearded Qadus, who has a similar appearance to the
person who is said to be Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, was
released from jail after three weeks and still had his
beard.
There are very few photographs of the person said to be
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and they are not dated,
although they are said to be taken shortly after his
arrest.
Where did the photos of the man said to be Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed come from and why are there so few
photos of him available?
If he was captured on March 1, 2003, then he has been in
U.S. custody more than for 4 years!
If this man was truly the commander of Al Qaida military
forces and masterminded the attacks of 9/11 - why has
so little attention been paid to him?

25
Why is he not being tried in federal courts for the
murder of 3,000 Americans on 9/11? Why is he being
kept totally incommunicado in Cuba?
If he is the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, he
belongs in a U.S. courtroom to explain what he did and
how he did it. Why is he still in Cuba?
What's going on here?
Chapter 4

Capture, Interrogation and Possible Torture

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed after capture
On September 11, 2002, members of Pakistani Inter-
Services Intelligence (ISI) claimed to have killed or
captured Khalid Sheikh Mohammed during a raid in
Karachi that resulted in Binalshibh's capture.
People have reported that Mohammed escaped, but
that his family was captured.

On March 1, 2003, the ISI reported that they had
captured him in a raid in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
26
The raid was variously reported to be all-Pakistani, in the
presence of the United States CIA, or a joint raid with the
CIA.
Following the report of the capture, some Pakistani
officials say he was immediately transferred to U.S.
custody without extradition proceedings, while others
said he remained in Pakistani custody.
The raid took place at the home of Ahmed Abdul
Qudoos, who was also reportedly arrested as an al-Qaida
agent.
Qudoos' family told media that Khalid Sheikh
Mohammed was not in the house, that Qudoos was
disabled and had never been associated with al-Qaeda,
and that the police conducting the raids did not ask for
Mohammed.
Other newspaper accounts said that former Taliban
officials in Pakistan said that Mohammed was not
captured and was still at large.
On October 12, 2004, Human Rights Watch reported that
11 suspects, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, had
"disappeared" to a semisecret prison in Jordan, and
might have been tortured there under the direction of
the CIA.

Jordanian and American officials denied those
allegations.

Chapter 5

Report Interrogators Abused His Children
Ali Khan, the father of Majid Khan, another one of the
fourteen "high-value detainees", released an affidavit on
Monday April 16 2006, that reported that interrogators
subjected Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's children, aged six
and eight years old, to abusive interrogation.

Ali Khan's affidavit quoted another of his sons,
Mohammed Khan.
CIA threatened suspect's children (Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed warned in event of
further attacks in US)
CIA agents threatened to kill the children of a terror
suspect in an attempt to make him talk, a report into
prisoner abuse has revealed.
The document, compiled by the agency's inspector
general in 2004, could lead to criminal charges against
interrogators, with the US attorney general reportedly
having already lined up a senior prosecutor to
investigate claims of mistreatment.
The disclosure came as President Barack Obama gave his
approval to a new interrogation unit to be supervised by
the White House, marking a move away from the Bush-
era policy of giving the CIA the lead when it comes to
questioning al Qaida suspects.


28
Bill Burton, deputy press secretary to the White House,
said that the move was not intended to sideline the CIA
when it comes to interrogation.
But he added that the High-Value Detainee Interrogation
Group, as the body will be known, will be led by an FBI
official.
It comes as the CIA braced itself for criticism over its
methods under the previous administration following
the declassification of a CIA document.
The report followed a lawsuit from pressure group the
American Civil Liberties Union.
It reveals that terror suspect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
was warned that his children we're going to be killed in
the event of further attacks in the US.
Another alleged al Qaida member was allegedly told that
his mother would be sexually assaulted in front of his
eyes if he did not speak.
US Attorney General Eric Holder was said to have been
disgusted when he read a classified version of the report
earlier this year.
Mr Obama has previously indicated that he does not
favour prosecuting Bush administration officials in
connection with prisoner abuses. Mr Burton said that the
president believes the US "should be looking forward,
not backwards".
But he is leaving the decision with the attorney general.
Officials at the Justice Department said that federal
prosecutor John Durham will be appointed by Mr Holder
to investigate alleged CIA abuses.
29
In an email to CIA employees, Leon Panetta, the agency's
director, said he intends to "stand up for those officers
who did what their country asked and who followed the
legal guidance they were given".
He added: "That is the president's position too."

Osama bin Laden has threatened to kill American soldiers
if the US executes Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the
Pakistani alleged to have masterminded the 9/11 attacks.
An audio tape, purportedly by the al-Qaida leader, was
broadcast on the al-Jazeera news channel today.
"The day America will take such decision [to execute
Mohammed and any others] it would have taken a
decision to execute whoever we capture," the speaker
said.
A US counterterrorism official dismissed the sentiments
expressed in the 74-second tape as "the height of
absurdity" this afternoon.
The country is understood to be seeking the death
penalty against Mohammed and four other men accused
of planning the 9/11 attacks.
President Barack Obama announced in November last
year that the five would be tried in a civilian court in
New York.
The speaker in the tape criticised Obama for "following
the footsteps of his predecessor".
"The politicians in the White House were practising
injustice against us and still they are. Especially by
supporting Israel in its continuous occupation of
Palestine."
The recording continued: "They used to think that
America across the oceans is protected from the rage of
the oppressed until our reaction was loudly heard at
your home on the 9/11, with God's help."

31
The official, who wished to remain anonymous,
responded to al-Qaida's threat to execute detained
Americans by drawing attention to the organisation's
previous treatment of captives.
"It's the height of absurdity for anyone associated with
al-Qaida to even suggest that now, at long last, they're
going to start treating captives badly," the official told
Reuters.
"They may have forgotten Danny Pearl and all the others
they've slaughtered, but we haven't."
Pearl, a Wall Street Journal reporter, was kidnapped and
held hostage in Pakistan in 2002.
His kidnappers made demands for the release of al-Qaida
prisoners before setting a deadline for his killing.
After Pearl had been held for a month, the US state
department received a videotape showing the journalist
being murdered.
The US president has already faced criticism over the
treatment of Mohammed, although so far it has come
from closer to home.
His decision to put the alleged 9/11 organiser on trial in
central New York has seen the president come under
pressure, with Republicans saying al-Qaida will use the
trial for propaganda.
Others have criticised the security threat represented by
holding the trial in New York, while the debate
continues over whether the suspects could be
guaranteed a fair trial in a civilian court.

32
Legal experts predicted the suspects would plead guilty
in order to win execution and martyrdom.
The last communique purporting to be from Bin Laden
was released in January.
In that audio tape the al-Qaida leader claimed
responsibility for the attempted bombing of a plane
over Detroit on Christmas Day.

The War On Terror

Chapter 7
George W. Bush 'Knew Guantnamo Prisoners
Were Innocent'

April 9, 2010 "The Times" - Washington - George W. Bush,
Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld covered up that
hundreds of innocent men were sent to the
Guantnamo Bay prison camp.


33
Because they feared that releasing them would harm
the push for war in Iraq and the broader War on Terror,
according to a new document obtained by The Times.

The accusations were made by Lawrence Wilkerson, a
top aide to Colin Powell, the former Republican
Secretary of State, in a signed declaration to support a
lawsuit filed by a Guantnamo detainee.

It is the first time that such allegations have been made
by a senior member of the Bush Administration.

Colonel Wilkerson, who was General Powells chief of
staff when he ran the State Department, was most
critical of Mr Cheney and Mr Rumsfeld.

He claimed that the former Vice-President and Defence
Secretary knew that the majority of the initial 742
detainees sent to Guantnamo in 2002 were innocent
but believed that it was politically impossible to release
them.

General Powell, who left the Bush Administration in
2005, angry about the misinformation that he
unwittingly gave the world when he made the case for
the invasion of Iraq at the UN, is understood to have
backed Colonel Wilkersons declaration.

Colonel Wilkerson, a long-time critic of the Bush
Administrations approach to counter-terrorism and the
war in Iraq, claimed that the majority of detainees
children as young as 12 and men as old as 93, he said
never saw a US soldier when they were captured.



34
He said that many were turned over by Afghans and
Pakistanis for up to $5,000.

Little or no evidence was produced as to why they had
been taken.

He also claimed that one reason Mr Cheney and Mr
Rumsfeld did not want the innocent detainees released
was because the detention efforts would be revealed as
the incredibly confused operation that they were.

This was not acceptable to the Administration and
would have been severely detrimental to the leadership
at DoD [Mr Rumsfeld at the Defence Department].

Referring to Mr Cheney, Colonel Wilkerson, who served
31 years in the US Army, asserted

He had absolutely no concern that the vast majority of
Guantnamo detainees were innocent ...

If hundreds of innocent individuals had to suffer in
order to detain a handful of hardcore terrorists, so be
it.

He alleged that for Mr Cheney and Mr Rumsfeld
innocent people languishing in Guantnamo for years
was justified by the broader War on Terror and the small
number of terrorists who were responsible for the
September 11 attacks.

He added




35
I discussed the issue of the Guantnamo detainees with
Secretary Powell. I learnt that it was his view that it was
not just Vice-President Cheney and Secretary Rumsfeld,
but also President Bush who was involved in all of the
Guantnamo decision making.

Mr Cheney and Mr Rumsfeld, Colonel Wilkerson said,
deemed the incarceration of innocent men acceptable if
some genuine militants were captured, leading to a
better intelligence picture of Iraq at a time when the
Bush Administration was desperate to find a link
between Saddam Hussein and 9/11, thus justifying the
Administrations plans for war with that country.

He signed the declaration in support of Adel Hassan
Hamad, a Sudanese man who was held at Guantnamo
Bay from March 2003 until December 2007.

Mr Hamad claims that he was tortured by US agents
while in custody and yesterday filed a damages action
against a list of American officials.

Defenders of Guantnamo said that detainees began to
be released as early as September 2002, nine months
after the first prisoners were sent to the jail at the US
naval base in Cuba.

By the time Mr Bush left office more than 530 detainees
had been freed.

A spokesman for Mr Bush said of Colonel Wilkersons
allegations

We are not going to have any comment on that.

36
A former associate to Mr Rumsfeld said that Mr
Wilkerson's assertions were completely untrue.

The associate said the former Defence Secretary had
worked harder than anyone to get detainees released
and worked assiduously to keep the prison population as
small as possible.
Mr Cheneys office did not respond.

There are currently about 180 detainees left in the
facility.
The President's Real Goal in Iraq
The official story on Iraq has never made sense.

The connection that the Bush administration has tried to
draw between Iraq and al-Qaida has always seemed
contrived and artificial.

In fact, it was hard to believe that smart people in the
Bush administration would start a major war based on
such flimsy evidence.
The pieces just didn't fit.
Something else had to be going on something was
missing.
In recent days, those missing pieces have finally begun
to fall into place.
As it turns out, this is not really about Iraq.
It is not about weapons of mass destruction, or
terrorism, or Saddam, or U.N. resolutions.
37
This war, should it come, is intended to mark the official
emergence of the United States as a full-fledged global
empire, seizing sole responsibility and authority as
planetary policeman.
It would be the culmination of a plan 10 years or more in
the making, carried out by those who believe the United
States must seize the opportunity for global domination,
even if it means becoming the "American imperialists"
that our enemies always claimed we were.
Once that is understood, other mysteries solve
themselves.
For example, why does the administration seem
unconcerned about an exit strategy from Iraq once
Saddam is toppled?
Because we won't be leaving.
Having conquered Iraq, the United States will create
permanent military bases in that country from which to
dominate the Middle East, including neighboring Iran.
In an interview Friday, Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld brushed aside that suggestion, noting that the
United States does not covet other nations' territory.
That may be true, but 57 years after World War II ended,
we still have major bases in Germany and Japan.
We will do the same in Iraq.
And why has the administration dismissed the option of
containing and deterring Iraq, as we had the Soviet
Union for 45 years?

38
Because even if it worked, containment and deterrence
would not allow the expansion of American power.
Besides, they are beneath us as an empire.
Rome did not stoop to containment it conquered.
And so should we.
Among the architects of this would-be American Empire
are a group of brilliant and powerful people who now
hold key positions in the Bush administration.
They envision the creation and enforcement of what
they call a worldwide "Pax Americana," or American
peace.
But so far, the American people have not appreciated
the true extent of that ambition.
Part of it's laid out in the National Security Strategy, a
document in which each administration outlines its
approach to defending the country.
The Bush administration plan, released Sept. 20, marks a
significant departure from previous approaches, a
change that it attributes largely to the attacks of Sept.
11.
To address the terrorism threat, the president's report
lays out a newly aggressive military and foreign policy,
embracing pre-emptive attack against perceived
enemies.
It speaks in blunt terms of what it calls "American
internationalism," of ignoring international opinion if
that suits U.S. interests.

39
"The best defense is a good offense," the document
asserts.
It dismisses deterrence as a Cold War relic and instead
talks of "convincing or compelling states to accept their
sovereign responsibilities."
In essence, it lays out a plan for permanent U.S. military
and economic domination of every region on the globe,
unfettered by international treaty or concern.
And to make that plan a reality, it envisions a stark
expansion of our global military presence.
"The United States will require bases and stations within
and beyond Western Europe and Northeast Asia," the
document warns, "as well as temporary access
arrangements for the long-distance deployment of U.S.
troops."
The report's repeated references to terrorism are
misleading, however, because the approach of the new
National Security Strategy was clearly not inspired by the
events of Sept. 11.
They can be found in much the same language in a
report issued in September 2000 by the Project for the
New American Century, a group of conservative
interventionists outraged by the thought that the
United States might be forfeiting its chance at a global
empire.
"At no time in history has the international security
order been as conducive to American interests and
ideals," the report said. stated two years ago.


40
"The challenge of this coming century is to preserve and
enhance this 'American peace.' "
Familiar Themes
Overall, that 2000 report reads like a blueprint for
current Bush defense policy.
Most of what it advocates, the Bush administration has
tried to accomplish.
For example, the project report urged the repudiation
of the anti-ballistic missile treaty and a commitment to a
global missile defense system.
The administration has taken that course.
It recommended that to project sufficient power
worldwide to enforce Pax Americana, the United States
would have to increase defense spending from 3
percent of gross domestic product to as much as 3.8
percent.
For next year, the Bush administration has requested a
defense budget of $379 billion, almost exactly 3.8
percent of GDP.
It advocates the "transformation" of the U.S. military to
meet its expanded obligations, including the
cancellation of such outmoded defense programs as the
Crusader artillery system.
That's exactly the message being preached by Rumsfeld
and others.


41
It urges the development of small nuclear warheads
"required in targeting the very deep, underground
hardened bunkers that are being built by many of our
potential adversaries."
This year the GOP-led U.S. House gave the Pentagon the
green light to develop such a weapon, called the Robust
Nuclear Earth Penetrator, while the Senate has so far
balked.
That close tracking of recommendation with current
policy is hardly surprising, given the current positions of
the people who contributed to the 2000 report.
Paul Wolfowitz is now deputy defense secretary.
John Bolton is undersecretary of state.
Stephen Cambone is head of the Pentagon's Office of
Program, Analysis and Evaluation.
Eliot Cohen and Devon Cross are members of the
Defense Policy Board, which advises Rumsfeld.
I. Lewis Libby is chief of staff to Vice President Dick
Cheney.
Dov Zakheim is comptroller for the Defense Department.
'Constabulary Duties'
Because they were still just private citizens in 2000, the
authors of the project report could be more frank and
less diplomatic than they were in drafting the National
Security Strategy.


42
Back in 2000, they clearly identified Iran, Iraq and North
Korea as primary short-term targets, well before
President Bush tagged them as the Axis of Evil.
In their report, they criticize the fact that in war
planning against North Korea and Iraq, "past Pentagon
wargames have given little or no consideration to the
force requirements necessary not only to defeat an
attack but to remove these regimes from power."
To preserve the Pax Americana, the report says U.S.
forces will be required to perform "constabulary duties"
-- the United States acting as policeman of the world --
and says that such actions "demand American political
leadership rather than that of the United Nations."
To meet those responsibilities, and to ensure that no
country dares to challenge the United States,the report
advocates a much larger military presence spread over
more of the globe, in addition to the roughly 130
nations in which U.S. troops are already deployed.
More specifically, they argue that we need permanent
military bases in the Middle East, in Southeast Europe, in
Latin America and in Southeast Asia, where no such bases
now exist.
That helps to explain another of the mysteries of our
post-Sept. 11 reaction, in which the Bush administration
rushed to install U.S. troops in Georgia and the
Philippines, as well as our eagerness to send military
advisers to assist in the civil war in Colombia.
The 2000 report directly acknowledges its debt to a still
earlier document, drafted in 1992 by the Defense
Department.

43
That document had also envisioned the United States as
a colossus astride the world, imposing its will and
keeping world peace through military and economic
power.
When leaked in final draft form, however, the proposal
drew so much criticism that it was hastily withdrawn and
repudiated by the first President Bush.
Effect On Allies
The defense secretary in 1992 was Richard Cheney; the
document was drafted by Wolfowitz, who at the time
was defense undersecretary for policy.
The potential implications of a Pax Americana are
immense.
One is the effect on our allies.
Once we assert the unilateral right to act as the world's
policeman, our allies will quickly recede into the
background.
Eventually, we will be forced to spend American wealth
and American blood protecting the peace while other
nations redirect their wealth to such things as health
care for their citizenry.
Donald Kagan, a professor of classical Greek history at
Yale and an influential advocate of a more aggressive
foreign policy -- he served as co-chairman of the 2000
New Century project -- acknowledges that likelihood.
"If [our allies] want a free ride, and they probably will, we
can't stop that," he says.

44
But he also argues that the United States, given its
unique position, has no choice but to act anyway.
"You saw the movie 'High Noon'? he asks.
"We're Gary Cooper."
Accepting the Cooper role would be an historic change
in who we are as a nation, and in how we operate in the
international arena.
Candidate Bush certainly did not campaign on such a
change.
It is not something that he or others have dared to
discuss honestly with the American people.
To the contrary, in his foreign policy debate with Al
Gore, Bush pointedly advocated a more humble foreign
policy, a position calculated to appeal to voters leery of
military intervention.
For the same reason, Kagan and others shy away from
terms such as empire, understanding its connotations.
But they also argue that it would be naive and
dangerous to reject the role that history has thrust upon
us.
Kagan, for example, willingly embraces the idea that the
United States would establish permanent military bases
in a post-war Iraq.
"I think that's highly possible," he says. "We will probably
need a major concentration of forces in the Middle East
over a long period of time.

45
That will come at a price, but think of the price of not
having it.
When we have economic problems, it's been caused by
disruptions in our oil supply.
If we have a force in Iraq, there will be no disruption in
oil supplies."
Costly Global Commitment
Rumsfeld and Kagan believe that a successful war against
Iraq will produce other benefits, such as serving an
object lesson for nations such as Iran and Syria.
Rumsfeld, as befits his sensitive position, puts it rather
gently.
If a regime change were to take place in Iraq, other
nations pursuing weapons of mass destruction "would
get the message that having them . . . is attracting
attention that is not favorable and is not helpful," he
says.
Kagan is more blunt.
"People worry a lot about how the Arab street is going
to react," he notes.
"Well, I see that the Arab street has gotten very, very
quiet since we started blowing things up."
The cost of such a global commitment would be
enormous.
In 2000, we spent $281 billion on our military, which was
more than the next 11 nations combined.

46
By 2003, our expenditures will have risen to $378 billion.
In other words, the increase in our defense budget from
1999-2003 will be more than the total amount spent
annually by China, our next largest competitor.
The lure of empire is ancient and powerful, and over the
millennia it has driven men to commit terrible crimes on
its behalf.
But with the end of the Cold War and the disappearance
of the Soviet Union, a global empire was essentially laid
at the feet of the United States.
To the chagrin of some, we did not seize it at the time,
in large part because the American people have never
been comfortable with themselves as a New Rome.
Now, more than a decade later, the events of Sept. 11
have given those advocates of empire a new
opportunity to press their case with a new president.
So in debating whether to invade Iraq, we are really
debating the role that the United States will play in the
years and decades to come.
Are peace and security best achieved by seeking strong
alliances and international consensus, led by the United
States?
Or is it necessary to take a more unilateral approach,
accepting and enhancing the global dominance that,
according to some, history has thrust upon us?
If we do decide to seize empire, we should make that
decision knowingly, as a democracy.

47
The price of maintaining an empire is always high.
Kagan and others argue that the price of rejecting it
would be higher still.
That's What This Is About
"Rebuilding America's Defenses," a 2000 report by the
Project for the New American Century, listed 27 people
as having attended meetings or contributed papers in
preparation of the report.
Among them are six who have since assumed key
defense and foreign policy positions in the Bush
administration.
And the report seems to have become a blueprint for
Bush's foreign and defense policy.
Global Eye -- Dark Passage
Not since "Mein Kampf" has a geopolitical punch been so
blatantly telegraphed, years ahead of the blow.
Adolf Hitler clearly spelled out his plans to destroy the
Jews and launch wars of conquest to secure German
domination of world affairs in his 1925 book, long before
he ever assumed power.
Despite the zigzags of rhetoric he later employed, the
various PR spins and temporary justifications offered for
this or that particular policy, any attentive reader of his
vile regurgitation could have divined his intentions as he
drove his country -- and the world -- to murderous
upheaval.


48
Similarly -- in method, if not entirely in substance -- the
Bush Regime's foreign policy is also being carried out
according to a strict blueprint written years ago, then
renewed a few months before the Regime was installed
in power by the judicial coup of December 2000.
The first version, mentioned in passing here last week,
was drafted by a team operating under then-Defense
Secretary Dick Cheney in 1992.
It set out a new doctrine for U.S. power in the 21st
century, an aggressive, unilateral approach that would
secure American domination of world affairs -- "by force
if necessary," as one of the acolytes put it.
When the Dominators were temporarily ousted from
government after 1992, they continued their strategic
planning with funding from the military-energy-security
apparatus and right-wing foundations.
This culminated in a new group, the aptly-named Project
for a New American Century (PNAC). Members included
hard-right players like Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul
Wolfowitz, Zalmay Khalilzad (now "special envoy" to the
satrapy of Afghanistan) and other empire aspirants
currently perched in the upper reaches of government
power.
In September 2000, PNAC updated the original Cheney
plan in a published report, "Strengthening America's
Defenses."
In this and related documents, the earlier precepts were
reiterated and refined.

49
The plans called for unprecedented hikes in military
spending, the plantation of American bases in Central
Asia and the Middle East, the toppling of recalcitrant
regimes, the militarization of outer space, the
abrogation of international treaties, the willingness to
use nuclear weapons and control of the world's energy
resources.
And the present course of action was clearly set forth:
"The United States has for decades sought to play a more
permanent role in Gulf regional security.
While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the
immediate justification, the need for a substantial
American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue
of the regime of Saddam Hussein."
But Iraq is just a stepping stone.
Iran is next -- indeed, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the PNAC
team say that Iran is "perhaps a far greater threat" to
U.S. oil hegemony.
Other nations will follow, including Russia and China.
In one way or another -- by military means or economic
dominance, by conquest, alliance or silent acquiescence -
- they must all be brought to heel, forcibly prevented
from "challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a
larger regional or global role."
These texts spring from the Dominators' quasi-religious
cult of "American exceptionalism," the belief in the
unique and utter goodness of the American soul --
embodied chiefly by the nation's moneyed elite, of
course -- and the irredeemable.

50
Metaphysical evil of all those who would oppose or
criticize the elite's righteous (and conveniently self-
serving) policies.
Anyone still "puzzled" over the Bush Regime's behavior
need only look to these documents for enlightenment.
They have long been available to the media -- which
accepted Bush's transparent campaign lies about a
"more humble foreign policy" at face value -- but have
only now started attracting wider notice, in the New
Yorker magazine this spring, and this week in the
Glasgow Sunday Herald.
The documents explain America's relentless march across
Afghanistan, Central Asia and soon into the Middle East.
They explain the Bush Regime's otherwise unfathomable
rejection of international law, its fanatical devotion to
so-called missile defense, its gargantuan increases in
military spending -- even its antediluvian energy policy,
which mandates the continued primacy of oil and gas in
the world economy.
(They can't conquer the sun or monopolize the wind, so
there's no profit, no leverage for personal gain and
geopolitical power in pursuing viable alternatives to oil.)
The Sept. 11 attacks gave the Regime a pretext for
greatly accelerating this published program of global
dominance, but they would have pursued it in any case.
So there will be war: either soon, after the November
mid-term elections, or -- in the unlikely event that Iraq's
offer of inspections is accepted -- then later, after some
"provocation" or "obstruction," no doubt in good time
before the 2004 presidential vote.
51
The purse-lipped rhetoric about "liberation" and "moral
clarity" is just so much desert sand being thrown in our
eyes.
Backstage, the Bush Regime is playing Mafia-style
hardball, warning reluctant allies to get on board now or
else miss out on their cut of the loot when America --
not a "democratic Iraq" -- divvies up Saddam's oil fields: a
shakedown detailed this week by the Economist, among
many others.
The Dominators Dream Of Empire.
Not only will it extend their temporal power, they
believe it will also give them immortality.
One of their chief gurus, Reaganite firebreather Michael
Ledeen, says that if the Dominators reject "clever
diplomacy" and "just wage total war" to subjugate the
Middle East, "our children will sing great songs about us
years from now."
This madness, this bin Laden-like megalomania, is now
driving the hijacked American republic -- and the world --
to murderous upheaval.
It's all there in the text, set down in black and white.
Read it and weep.

935 False Statements / False Pretenses

FOLLOWING 9/11, PRESIDENT BUSH AND SEVEN TOP
OFFICIALS OF HIS ADMINISTRATION WAGED A CAREFULLY
ORCHESTRATED CAMPAIGN OF MISINFORMATION ABOUT THE
THREAT POSED BY SADDAM HUSSEIN'S IRAQ.
President George W. Bush and seven of his
administration's top officials, including Vice President
Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice,
and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, made at least
935 false statements in the two years following
September 11, 2001, about the national security threat
posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
Nearly five years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, an
exhaustive examination of the record shows that the
statements were part of an orchestrated campaign that
effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process,
led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses.
On at least 532 separate occasions (in speeches, briefings,
interviews, testimony, and the like), Bush and these
three key officials, along with Secretary of State Colin
Powell, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, and
White House press secretaries Ari Fleischer and Scott
McClellan, stated unequivocally that Iraq had weapons of
mass destruction (or was trying to produce or obtain
them), links to Al Qaeda, or both.

55
This concerted effort was the underpinning of the Bush
administration's case for war.
It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any
weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to
Al Qaeda.

This was the conclusion of numerous bipartisan
government investigations, including those by the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (2004 and 2006),
the 9/11 Commission, and the multinational Iraq Survey
Group, whose "Duelfer Report" established that Saddam
Hussein had terminated Iraq's nuclear program in 1991
and made little effort to restart it.

In short, the Bush administration led the
nation to war on the basis of erroneous
information that it methodically propagated
and that culminated in military action
against Iraq on March 19, 2003.

Not surprisingly, the officials with the most
opportunities to make speeches, grant media
interviews, and otherwise frame the public debate also
made the most false statements, according to this first-
ever analysis of the entire body of prewar rhetoric.

President Bush, for example, made 232 false
statements about weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq and another 28 false
statements about Iraq's links to Al Qaeda.

56
Secretary of State Powell had the second-highest total in
the two-year period, with 244 false statements about
weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 10 about Iraq's
links to Al Qaeda.

Rumsfeld and Fleischer each made 109 false statements,
followed by Wolfowitz (with 85), Rice (with 56), Cheney
(with 48), and McClellan (with 14).
The massive database at the heart of this project
juxtaposes what President Bush and these seven top
officials were saying for public consumption against
what was known, or should have been known, on a day-
to-day basis.
This fully searchable database includes the public
statements, drawn from both primary sources (such as
official transcripts) and secondary sources (chiefly major
news organizations) over the two years beginning on
September 11, 2001.
It also interlaces relevant information from more than 25
government reports, books, articles, speeches, and
interviews.
Consider, for example, these false public statements
made in the run-up to war: -

On August 26, 2002, in an address to the national
convention of the Veteran of Foreign Wars, Cheney flatly
declared: "Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam
Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction.

There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our
friends, against our allies, and against us."

57
In fact, former CIA Director George Tenet later recalled,
Cheney's assertions went well beyond his agency's
assessments at the time.

Another CIA official, referring to the same speech, told
journalist Ron Suskind, "Our reaction was, 'Where is he
getting this stuff from?' "

In the closing days of September 2002, with a
congressional vote fast approaching on authorizing the
use of military force in Iraq, Bush told the nation in his
weekly radio address

"The Iraqi regime possesses biological and chemical
weapons, is rebuilding the facilities to make more and,
according to the British government, could launch a
biological or chemical attack in as little as 45 minutes after
the order is given. . . .

This regime is seeking a nuclear bomb, and with fissile
material could build one within a year."

A few days later, similar findings were also included in a
much-hurried National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq's
weapons of mass destruction an analysis that hadn't
been done in years, as the intelligence community had
deemed it unnecessary and the White House hadn't
requested it.

In July 2002, Rumsfeld had a one-word answer for
reporters who asked whether Iraq had relationships with
Al Qaeda terrorists: "Sure."



58
In fact, an assessment issued that same month by the
Defense Intelligence Agency (and confirmed weeks later by
CIA Director Tenet) found an absence of "compelling
evidence demonstrating direct cooperation between the
government of Iraq and Al Qaeda."

What's more, an earlier DIA assessment said that "the
nature of the regime's relationship with Al Qaeda is
unclear."

On May 29, 2003, in an interview with Polish TV,
President Bush declared: "We found the weapons of
mass destruction.

We found biological laboratories." But as journalist Bob
Woodward reported in State of Denial, days earlier a team
of civilian experts dispatched to examine the two mobile
labs found in Iraq had concluded in a field report that the
labs were not for biological weapons.

The team's final report, completed the following month,
concluded that the labs had probably been used to
manufacture hydrogen for weather balloons.

On January 28, 2003, in his annual State of the Union
address, Bush asserted: "The British government has
learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant
quantities of uranium from Africa.

Our intelligence sources tell us that he has attempted to
purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for
nuclear weapons production."



59
Two weeks earlier, an analyst with the State Department's
Bureau of Intelligence and Research sent an email to
colleagues in the intelligence community laying out why
he believed the uranium-purchase agreement "probably is
a hoax."

On February 5, 2003, in an address to the United
Nations Security Council, Powell said: "What we're giving
you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence.

I will cite some examples, and these are from human
sources."

As it turned out, however, two of the main human sources
to which Powell referred had provided false information.

One was an Iraqi con artist, code-named "Curveball," whom
American intelligence officials were dubious about and in
fact had never even spoken to.

The other was an Al Qaeda detainee, Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi,
who had reportedly been sent to Eqypt by the CIA and
tortured and who later recanted the information he had
provided.

Libi told the CIA in January 2004 that he had "decided he
would fabricate any information interrogators wanted in
order to gain better treatment and avoid being handed
over to [a foreign government]."

The false statements dramatically increased in August
2002, with congressional consideration of a war
resolution, then escalated through the mid-term
elections and spiked even higher from January 2003 to
the eve of the invasion.
60


It was during those critical weeks in early 2003 that the
president delivered his State of the Union address and
Powell delivered his memorable U.N. presentation.

For all 935 false statements, including when and
where they occurred, go to the search page for
this project; the methodology used for this
analysis is explained.

In addition to their patently false pronouncements, Bush
and these seven top officials also made hundreds of
other statements in the two years after 9/11 in which
they implied that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction
or links to Al Qaeda.



61
Other administration higher-ups, joined by Pentagon
officials and Republican leaders in Congress, also
routinely sounded false war alarms in the Washington
echo chamber.
The cumulative effect of these false statements
amplified by thousands of news stories and broadcasts
was massive, with the media coverage creating an
almost impenetrable din for several critical months in
the run-up to war.

Some journalists indeed, even some entire news
organizations have since acknowledged that their
coverage during those prewar months was far too
deferential and uncritical.

These mea culpas notwithstanding, much of the wall-to-
wall media coverage provided additional, "independent"
validation of the Bush administration's false statements
about Iraq.

The "ground truth" of the Iraq war itself eventually
forced the president to backpedal, albeit grudgingly.

In a 2004 appearance on NBC's Meet the Press, for
example, Bush acknowledged that no weapons of mass
destruction had been found in Iraq.

And on December 18, 2005, with his approval ratings on
the decline, Bush told the nation in a Sunday-night
address from the Oval Office: "It is true that Saddam
Hussein had a history of pursuing and using weapons of
mass destruction.

62
It is true that he systematically concealed those
programs, and blocked the work of U.N. weapons
inspectors.

It is true that many nations believed that Saddam had
weapons of mass destruction.

But much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong.

As your president, I am responsible for the decision to
go into Iraq.

Yet it was right to remove Saddam Hussein from power.

Bush stopped short, however, of admitting error or
poor judgment; instead, his administration repeatedly
attributed the stark disparity between its prewar public
statements and the actual "ground truth" regarding the
threat posed by Iraq to poor intelligence from a Who's
Who of domestic agencies.

On the other hand, a growing number of critics,
including a parade of former government officials, have
publicly and in some cases vociferously accused the
president and his inner circle of ignoring or distorting
the available intelligence.

In the end, these critics say, it was the calculated
drumbeat of false information and public
pronouncements that ultimately misled the American
people and this nation's allies on their way to war.


63
Bush and the top officials of his administration have so
far largely avoided the harsh, sustained glare of formal
scrutiny about their personal responsibility for the litany
of repeated, false statements in the run-up to the war in
Iraq.

There has been no congressional investigation, for
example, into what exactly was going on inside the Bush
White House in that period.

Congressional oversight has focused almost entirely on
the quality of the U.S. government's pre-war intelligence
not the judgment, public statements, or public
accountability of its highest officials.

And, of course, only four of the officials Powell, Rice,
Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz have testified before
Congress about Iraq.

Short of such review, this project provides a heretofore
unavailable framework for examining how the U.S. war
in Iraq came to pass.

Clearly, it calls into question the repeated assertions of
Bush administration officials that they were the
unwitting victims of bad intelligence.

Above all, the 935 false statements painstakingly
presented here finally help to answer two all-too-familiar
questions as they apply to Bush and his top advisers

64
What did they know, and when did they know it?

Conclusion
Once again the OzBoy File Truth About Series
Books prove beyond doubt the Whole War On Terror
Western Countries have sign on to support has nothing
to do with Freedom & Democracy its all about Control of
Resources (Oil, Gas, Minerals, Opium Trade) to be feed
into the mighty American Corporations Military
Industrial Complex Zionist Jewish Bankers for the sheer
greed.
Finally its worth looking at Where we stand
today 2011!
There are a number of major forces in the world today
but by far the most aggressive of them is the force that
lies behind the state of Israel, Zionism.

And the force that lies, in turn, behind Zionism is the
international bankers and, in particular, those bankers
that form the Jewish clique who are by far the biggest
players within the banking circle.

They control the two most influential central banks in
the world, the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve
Bank of the US.

They also control the body that co-ordinates central
banks throughout the world, the Bank for International
Settlements in Basle Switzerland.

Money from banking is their primary tool.

65
All their other power, influence and domination flow
from this.

They plan to then use to this 'super' Israel to rule over all
the other powers using the American and British
peoples and their armed forces together with those of
NATO and affiliated treaty organisations.

The nations of America and Britain in particular are
being turned into massive war machines and bled dry.
Non-strategic industries have been closed down or
moved overseas principally to China causing mass
unemployment and leaving the workforce a choice of
employment in the armaments and tributary industries
or directly in the military forces.
Global Warfare USA: The World is
the Pentagons Oyster

Not only does one country account for the
overwhelming plurality of world military expenditures,
but that nation also has troops and bases on all six
habitable continents (as well as a 54-year military mission
in Antarctica, Operation Deep Freeze) and eleven aircraft
66
carrier strike groups and six navy fleets that roam the
worlds oceans and seas at will.
It is also expanding a global interceptor missile system
on land, on sea, in the air and into space that will leave it
invulnerable to retaliation.
On January 20, a changing of the guard occurred in the
United States White House with two-term president
George W. Bush being replaced by former freshman
senator Barack Obama.
Bush had continued the policies of his predecessor Bill
Clinton in relation to the Balkans, Iraq and Latin America
with troops and a massive military base in Kosovo,
regular bombings of Iraq and a monumental expansion
of military aid to Colombia and in addition launched
two wars of his own, those against Afghanistan in 2001
and Iraq two years later.
Obama, so thoroughly does U.S. polity predetermine
individual administrations policies, entered office by
intensifying the deadly drone missile attacks in Pakistan
begun by Bush in late 2008 and announced that he was
doubling the number of American troops in Afghanistan.
Already presiding over the worlds largest military
budget, officially 41.5% of world expenditures in 2008
and far larger with non-Defense Department spending
factored in, in April the new president requested from
Congress an additional $85 billion in supplemental
funding for the war in Afghanistan and the occupation
of Iraq.


67
U.S. lawmakers were more than accommodating and on
July 24 Obama signed Iraq and Afghanistan War
Supplemental Appropriations amounting to $106 billion.
On October 28, he signed the $680 billion 2010 National
Defense Authorization Act which includes another $130
billion to fund what his administration now calls
overseas contingency operations in Afghanistan and
Iraq.
With the authorization of $106 billion in July, the last
official supplemental appropriation for the wars, and
$130 billion last month for Afghanistan and Iraq the
combined official spending for both wars will exceed $1
trillion.
According to the Stockholm International Peace
Research Institute (SIPRI) 2009 Year Book, total
international military spending for 2008 was not much
more than that: $1.464 trillion.
Eight days after the authorization of the $680 billion
Pentagon budget for next year, the New York Times
reported that the top American military commander,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael
Mullen, said he expected the Pentagon to ask Congress
in the next few months for emergency financing to
support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with the
newspaper estimating the size of the demand to be $50
billion.
Despite the Obama administrations pledge to the
contrary, Julys war supplement may not be the last one.
It will simply be renamed an emergency appropriation.
The first of many more to come.
68
Not only does one country account for the
overwhelming plurality of world military expenditures,
but that nation also has troops and bases on all six
habitable continents (as well as a 54-year military mission
in Antarctica, Operation Deep Freeze) and eleven aircraft
carrier strike groups and six navy fleets that roam the
worlds oceans and seas at will.
It is also expanding a global interceptor missile system
on land, on sea, in the air and into space that will leave it
invulnerable to retaliation.
Reports from the first twelve days of November indicate
the global scope of the first attempt in history by one
nation to achieve uncontested worldwide military
power.
A survey of that period will trace recent trends across
the globe with the alphabet as a compass.
Afghanistan
Any day now Washington may announce plans to add
40,000 or more troops to the 68,000 already there.
Plans are underway to accommodate that influx.
The American military compound at and fanning out
from the Bagram Air Field has been expanded from
3,993 to 5,198 acres since 2001 and is in the process of
further enlargement.
It already hosts some 25,000 U.S. troops and contractors
and a new parking ramp supporting the worlds largest
aircraft is to be completed this spring.

69
It is continuing to grow to keep up with the
requirements of an escalating war and troop increases.
Regarding non-military personnel at Bagram and
elsewhere in the nation, Contractors in Afghanistan
outnumber U.S. troops there as they do in Iraq.
The Army Times recently reported on the main purpose
of the airbase at Bagram.
Last month the number of U.S. and NATO air strikes in
Afghanistan was the highest since July of 2008, with 647
bombs dropped in October compared to 752 a year ago
July.
The airstrike numbers dont include strafing runs,
attacks by special operations AC-130 gunships, launches
of small missiles or helicopter attacks.
Africa
A U.S. Defense Department news source reported on
November 5 that Air Forces Africa commanders visited
Mali and Senegal in West Africa.
Vice commander Michael Callan visited Malis 33d
Parachute Regiment, a unit that carries out operations
using tactical vehicles and communication equipment
provided by the U.S. Defense and State Departments.
The Malian military is involved in a counterinsurgency
war in the nations north aided by Washington.
A commander of Malis armed forces said, Ninety-five
percent of our soldiers were trained by the U.S, and
weve engaged with you in exercises like Flintlock, Joint
Planning and Assessment Teams and special bilateral
training.
70
Flintlock military exercises have been held in different
locations on the African continent for years, this years
being conducted by the new Africa Command (AFRICOM)
for the first time.
The U.S. also recently led multinational military exercises
in Gabon and Uganda on both ends of the continent.
The USS San Juan, a fast-attack submarine, arrived in
South Africa on November 4, setting the stage for a
series of first-ever, at-sea engagements with the South
African Navy submarine force.
Armenia
Robert Simmons [9], NATOs special representative to the
South Caucasus and Central Asia former Senior Adviser
to the United States Assistant Secretary of State for
European and Eurasian Affairs on NATO was in this
South Caucasus nation earlier this month and announced
that he had recruited an initial contingent of Armenian
troops for the war in Afghanistan.
This marks the first deployment to that nation of
soldiers from the Russian-led seven-nation Collective
Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), a potential
counterbalance to NATO in post-Soviet space.
Simmons expressed NATOs appreciation to Armenia for
its strong contributions to alliance missions, which he
said began in Kosovo and will now be repeated in
Afghanistan.
In reference to his mission of pulling yet another Russian
ally into the U.S.-led North Atlantic Treaty Organization
orbit, Simmons said, We are continuing cooperation
with the Armenian Defense Ministry.
71
NATO assists the implementation of reforms and the
development of strategically important documents.
Baltic Sea
After participating in NATO war games off the coast of
Scotland, the guided-missile destroyer USS Cole paid
visits to the capitals of Finland and Estonia in the Baltic
Sea.
Cole hosted a reception in Helsinki, which was joined by
Adm.
Mark Fitzgerald, commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe,
U.S. Naval Forces Africa and Allied Joint Forces Command
Naples.
Immediately following the departure from Helsinki, Cole
arrived in Tallinn, Estonia, a few hours later.
The beginning of this month the guided-missile frigate
USS John L. Hall with sailors of Helicopter Anti-Submarine
Squadron 48 completed a theater security cooperation
(TSC) port visit to Klaipeda, Lithuania.
A U.S. Navy official stated: We are here as part of the
United States Navys continuing presence in the Baltic
Sea.We are also here to work with the Lithuanian Navy,
who has been a valuable partner and our visit here is
part of the ongoing relationship between our two
countries and our two navies.
On November 3 Estonian Defense Minister Jaak Aaviksoo
was at the Pentagon to meet with Defense Secretary
Robert Gates and Associated Press reported on the
occasion that he was discussing with the United States
why NATO needs plans in case his region is attacked.
72
Bangladesh
In early November three high-ranking American military
officials arrived in the country.
The three U.S. Army Lieutenant General Benjamin R.
Mixon, Commanding General of U.S. Army, Pacific, Vice-
Admiral John M. Bird, Commander of U.S. Navy 7th Fleet,
and U.S. Marine Corps Major General Randolph D. Alles,
Director for Strategic Planning and Policy at the U.S.
Pacific Command engaged in discussions focusing on
interoperability, readiness in the region, security-force
assistance, and bilateral approaches to maintaining
regional stability.
On November 12 the U.S.-led Tiger Shark military
exercises to train Bangladeshi naval commandos ended.
A press release on the operation stated: The training
demonstrates the United States governments
commitment to Bangladesh and to regional security by
promoting military-to-military relationships throughout
Asia and the Pacific.
Black Sea
The Pentagons European Command (EUCOM) reported
on November 2 that its Joint Task Force-East had
completed an almost three-month series of trainings in
Bulgaria and Romania which began on August 7 and
included Stryker and Airborne units destined for the war
in Afghanistan.
Nearly 600 members of the Romanian Land Forces, 500
Bulgarian Land Forces, and more than 1,500 U.S. service
members participated in this years combined training.
73
After U.S. Vice President Joseph Bidens visit to the
country on October 22, a news source in Romania wrote
of Washingtons new interceptor missile plans: A strong
and modern surveillance system located in Romania,
Bulgaria and Turkey could monitor three hot areas at
once: the Black Sea, the Caucasus and the Caspian and
relevant zones in the Middle East.
Colombia
The Obama administration signed a ten-year military
treaty with the Alvaro Uribe government on September
30 which gives American military forces access to seven
Colombian army, navy and air force bases, but also to
major international civilian airports in the country.
In addition, U.S. personnel and defense contractors will
enjoy diplomatic immunity under the agreement.
A copy of the pact surfaced on November 4 and detailed
that it allows Washington access to civilian airports as
well as military bases and as a result the US will have
access to all international airports across the Andean
nation including airports in the cities of Barranquilla, San
Andres, Cartagena, Bogota, Cali, Medellin and
Bucaramanga.
In the initial phase an estimated 1,400 U.S. personnel will
be assigned to the seven bases with the likelihood that
the number will be increased as Washington sees fit.
Eva Golinger observed that one of the newly acquired
bases, that at Palanquero, was identified by a American
Air Force document as providing the Pentagon an
opportunity for conducting full spectrum operations
throughout South America.
74
Two South American nations bordering or near
Colombia, Venezuela and Bolivia, were not slow to
respond.
Earlier this month Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez
stated in his weekly radio and television address that
We cannot waste one day to fulfill our mission: to
prepare for war and help the people to get ready for
war, warning that an armed conflict with the U.S. client
regime in Bogota could extend throughout the whole
continent.
Days earlier two Venezuelan National Guard troops were
killed at a checkpoint near Colombia and Caracas
deployed 15,000 troops to the border.
In his November 13 address Chavez added. Dont make a
mistake, Mr. Obama, by ordering an attack against
Venezuela by way of Colombia.
On the same day his Bolivian counterpart, President Evo
Morales, warned I am convinced that where there are
military bases, the social peace, the democracy and the
development of the nations as well as their integration
are not guaranteed.
These facilities are an open provocation against the
peace.
Morales also said that he failed to comprehend how the
American head of state could have been awarded the
Peace Nobel Price when his country does everything to
promote wars and conflicts.
Obama must justify that award by withdrawing all the
troops of his country from around the world.

75
Czech Republic
Following up on his visit to Prague in late October, on
November 5 U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden hosted
Czech President Vaclav Klaus at the White House and
they mostly discussed the U.S. plan for a new missile
defence architecture.
The two also talked about the situation in Afghanistan
and Iran and Klaus said the United States knows that it
is necessary to continue with the anti-missile project in
Europe.
The next day U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Alexander
Vershbow met with Czech defense officials in their
nation to discuss new American missile plans for Eastern
Europe, ones intended to be stronger, smarter, and
swifter than the previous Bush administration version
and to incorporate all of Europe under a NATO umbrella.
Vershbow characterized the content of the talks as
having presented some concrete ideas to begin that
process of developing the Czech role in the new
approach and said that the Czech contribution could
include potential facilities here on the territory of the
Czech Republic.
On November 4 the local press announced that A few
U.S. delegations will visit the Czech Republic in
November, following up on the recent visit by U.S. Vice
President Joe Biden, including an expert military team
that arrives in Prague this Friday.
One of those delegations will include Under Secretary of
State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs

76
Ellen Tauscher, who recently said the command for the
managing and control of elements of the new version of
anti-missile defence could be stationed in the Czech
Republic.
The USA wants to build the system in cooperation with
NATO.
Georgia
Earlier this week U.S. Marines completed the two-week
Immediate Response 2009 military training exercises in
the South Caucasus nation of Georgia.
The preceding maneuvers of the same name, those of
2008 in which over 1,000 American troops participated,
ended one day before Georgia started shelling
neighboring South Ossetia and killed several people
including a Russian peacekeeper.
Days after that the U.S. client regime launched an all-out
invasion of South Ossetia, triggering a five-day war with
Russia.
The official purpose of this years exercises was to train
Georgian troops to serve under NATO command in
Afghanistan, but a Russian news source saw matters
differently:
Immediate Response was clearly designed not to fight
against the Taliban or al-Qaeda..
Commander of US Army in Europe General Carter Ham
visited Georgia to inspect the exercises but no one came
from Afghanistan.
Perhaps, the exercises were aimed at issuing a warning
to Russia.
77
As the drills were ending Alexander Shliakhturov, chief
of Russias military intelligence, said that he did not rule
out that Georgia might again use force against
breakaway South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
A lengthier account of Shliakhturovs concerns appeared
in the Georgian media and included these quotes:
According to our information, Georgia is still getting
military aid from Ukraine, Israel and NATO. NATO
countries, especially Eastern European countries,
provide Georgia with arms and equipment, Israel
provides Georgia with air equipment, the USA trains
Georgian troops and Ukraine provides Georgia with
heavy equipment, namely, tanks.
The Russian Intelligence Service is addressing other
dangers too, namely, the efforts being made by the USA
and NATO to bring Georgia and Ukraine into the alliance
and the new US plan to locate anti-missile systems in
Europe.
Four days later other Russian sources revealed that the
United States plans to supply weapons, including a
Patriot-3 air defense system and shoulder-launched
Stinger missiles, worth a total of $100 million, to
Georgia.
The next day Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov
recalled the situation in the summer of 2008 when
many countries ignored Russian warnings that modern
arms in Saakashvilis hands might prompt this man to
unleash military aggression.


78
The chief of the Russian General Staff, General Nikolai
Makarov, said Georgia is getting large amounts of
weapons supplied from abroad and Georgian military
potential is currently higher than last August [2008].
India
Shortly after the Pentagon wrapped up the largest joint
U.S.-Indian military exercises ever, Yudh Abhyas
[Preparation for War] which featured the first
deployment of new American Stryker armored combat
vehicles outside of Iraq and Afghanistan at the end of
October, it was announced that India is negotiating with
the United States to acquire state of the art Javelin anti-
tank missiles worth several million dollars for large-scale
induction.
Days earlier former president George W. Bush was in
India and called on his host nation to join in the war in
Afghanistan, urging the U.S. and India to work together
to win the war in Afghanistan.
Iraq
In early November Arabic language news sources
revealed that The US military has finished erecting an
advanced radar system in Iraq to monitor the border
with Iran, Syria and Turkey and that the radar is a
preparatory measure aimed at providing the United
States and its allies advanced control capabilities in
event of a US military strike against Iranian nuclear
facilities.


79
Israel
The largest-ever joint American-Israeli military exercises,
the two-week Juniper Cobra 10, ended on November 3.
They concentrated on live-fire missile interception
exercises described by many observers as a test run for
the new continent-wide NATO missile shield planned for
Europe.
Over 2,000 troops from the two nations and 17 U.S.
warships participated in the war games to create the
infrastructure that would be necessary in the event that
the Obama administration decides to deploy US systems
here in the event of a conflict.
The top military commander of United States European
Command and of NATO, Admiral James Stavridis, paid a
three-day call to Israel for the occasion and met with
Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, the
Deputy Chief of the General Staff, Maj. Gen. Benjamin
Gantz and several other commanders.
On November 1 American arms manufacturer Raytheon
Company announced that it had secured contracts
worth $100 million for a joint interceptor missile
program of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency and the Israel
Missile Defense Organization.
The Pentagons European Command has over 100 troops
stationed in Israels Negev Desert manning an advanced
missile radar site there.



80
Korean Peninsula
The South Korean Yonhap News Agency reported on
November 1 that The US and South Korea have
completed joint action plans for responding to a regime
collapse and other internal emergency situations in
North Korea.
Citing an unidentified South Korean official, the report
contains these details:
South Korea and the US had long worked on Concept
Plan 5029, to prepare for a regime collapse and other
internal emergencies in North Korea.
Since its inauguration last year, the [South Korean
President] Lee Myung-bak government has pushed to
convert the concept plan into an operational plan and it
was recently completed.
If the South Korea-US combined forces intervene in
North Koreas internal instabilities, the South Korean
military will assume the leading role in consideration of
neighboring countries, while the US military will be
responsible for the removal of the Norths nuclear
facilities and weapons.
On the final day of last month Washington expressed its
satisfaction at South Korea redeploying troops to
Afghanistan shortly after Pentagon chief Robert Gates
visit to Seoul and the South Korean defense ministry on
October 22.
Washington supports and welcomes South Koreas plans
to deploy troops to Afghanistanthe U.S. Department of
State said.

81
Kosovo
This month began with former U.S. president Bill Clinton
arriving in the capital of Kosovo for the unveiling of a
gaudy 11-foot gold-sprayed bronze statue of himself on
November 1.
He was being hailed by the breakaway entitys nominal
prime minister, former Kosovo Liberation Army chieftain
Hashim Thaci, for his role in launching the 78-day NATO
air war against Yugoslavia in March of 1999.
That sustained bombing campaign, Operation Allied
Force, inaugurated the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization as an active war-making machine and
issued in the ten-year war cycle that continues to this
day with no indication of it ever abating.
A Russian commentary of the following day put the
ceremony in perspective:
Over the course of the 10-week conflict, NATO aircraft
flew over 38,000 combat missions; even the German
Luftwaffe had its first taste of combat over the skies of
Yugoslavia since having its wings clipped in World War II.
The ensuing 78-day aerial bombardment campaign,
which grew continuously more aggressive and reckless,
spared little infrastructure: factories, bridges, roads and
power stations were all bombed with deadly accuracy.
As a result, thousands of innocent civilians suffered
great deprivation on both sides of the battle.
In perhaps the worst public relations disaster for NATO
during the conflict, five US smart bombs severely
damaged the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade.

82
Killing three Chinese journalists.
NATO officials, in an effort to cool Chinese outrage,
blamed the error on outdated maps. Chinese officials
rejected both the apologies and explanations.
Pakistan
Over the past year the nine-year-long U.S. and NATO war
in Afghanistan has been extended into Pakistan, the so-
called AfPak theater of operations.
On November 4 the U.S. launched its latest drone missile
attack into North Waziristan, killing two Pakistanis.
According to independent reports, since August 2008
alone, around 70 cross-border predator strikes carried
out by American drones have resulted in the death of
687 Pakistani civilians.
The Nation, a Pakistani daily newspaper, reported on
November 12 that the massive increase in NATO convoys
crossing the country en route to Afghanistan are
overwhelming the countrys highways and that
Pakistani authorities are simply helpless in checking
truckloads of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO)
forces badly damaging the Indus Highway, the repair of
which would cost billions of rupees to the national
exchequer.NATO trucks and trailers have not been
[held accountable] even once for the repair and
maintenance work, while cracks are developing on the
Indus Highway after every three to four months due to
overloading.


83
Persian Gulf
A local news sources wrote on November 9 that The US
has deployed a new expeditionary force in the Persian
Gulf the first time a permanent self-sustaining US naval
force has been set up in the region.
The newly established Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) 5
will serve in the area of responsibility of the US Navy 5th
Fleet Combined Task Force (CTF) 51 in Manama, Bahrain,
where the entire U.S. Fifth Fleet is based.
The Philippines
Two American servicemen were killed in a mine attack in
Mindanao in late September, the first official deaths in
the U.S.-assisted counterinsurgency war against not only
the Abu Sayyaf Group but also the Moro National
Liberation Front and the New Peoples Army.
Filipino senators called for the abrogation of the
[Visiting Forces Agreement], saying the US Seabees killed
in the explosion werent supposed to be there, asthe
presence of the alleged land mine constitutes the area
as a war zone.
Pentagon chief Robert Gates insisted earlier in the
month that some 600 US counter-terrorism troops will
remain in the southern Philippines.
An opponent of the active American military
involvement in the country said that the US military has
established its permanent presence in the Philippines
through the auspices of the Visiting Forces Agreement
(VFA).

84
Many of the US soldiers are currently deployed in
Mindanao under the Joint Special Operations Task Force-
Philippines headquartered in Zamboanga City.
On November 12 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in
Manila after the Philippine Senate recently passed a
nonbinding resolution calling on the government to
renegotiate the 1999 Visiting Forces Agreement, which
enables U.S. forces to train and assist Philippine troops
and vowedto continue American military support.
Poland
Before departing for the Philippines Clinton hosted
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski in Washington
to discuss the new anti-missile shield plan.
On the same day, November 2, U.S. Air Force personnel
transferred five C-130 Hercules military cargo planes
from the Ramstein Air Base in Germany to the Powidz Air
Base in Poland.
A U.S. Air Force website offered these details: Prepping
Polish aircrews and maintainers for the transition to the
larger Lockheed-Martin built Hercules has been
accomplished with a blend of English language and
specialty knowledge training at bases in Texas and
Arkansas and through a type of work mentorship
exchange between U.S. and Polish air force personnel.
A Polish air force officer revealed the purpose of the U.S.
transfer in stating The main task for the C-130s is to
support our contingency operations in Afghanistan,
Chad, Africa and everywhere Polish troops and supplies
are needed.

85
After NATO defense chiefs, including the U.S.s Gates, met
in Slovakia late last month and U.S. Vice President Biden
visited Poland at about the same time, Warsaw
announced that it was deploying 600 more troops to
Afghanistan, bringing the nations total toward the 3,000
mark.
Sweden
Swedens Chief of Defense Staff General Sverker
Goranson was in Washington, D.C. in early November and
was interviewed by Defense News.
His nation, which has for decades presented itself as
neutral, has 500 troops serving under NATO command in
Afghanistan Sweden and Finland are in charge of four
northern provinces for the NATO-led International
Security Assistance Force and five Swedish soldiers
were injured in a roadside bomb explosion on November
11, two them seriously.
Goransons comments demonstrate how far from
anything resembling neutrality Sweden has recently
strayed:
The transformation we are conducting is a huge
turnaround, and as I told Adm. [Michael] Mullen [U.S.
Joint Chiefs chairman], we know where we are
going.The major shift is globalization and the fact that
most of the things we are dealing with arent necessarily
about national boundaries.
What turned Sweden around is not focusing on national
defense, but being a part of this globalized world and
solving issues together, because wherever conflicts are,
whether in the Balkans or Afghanistan.

86
When asked about the potential for a showdown in the
Arctic Circle with Russia, he spoke about starting
discussions between the United States, Norway,
Denmark and Canada [all NATO members] about what are
the borders.As part of the Nordic Battle Group,
Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark are already
sharing the operational picture in the air and on the sea,
and that can be extended to the High North.
Lastly, the Swedish visitor, whose meetings included one
with the U.S.s top military commander, acknowledged:
We had a defense resolution in 1996 that said the
Swedish armed forces should be completely NATO-
interoperable, which is the standard we have worked to
accordingly, to make sure that wherever we go, as we
did to Afghanistan.
Yemen
The government of Yemen is waging military operations
against Shiite rebels in the north of the country and
neighboring Saudi Arabia started launching air strikes
against them earlier this month.
On November 10 Yemens official news agency, Saba,
announced that the U.S. has signed a military
cooperation agreement with the nation.
The news agency also quoted Brigadier General Jeffrey
Smith, the commander of the U.S. 5th Signal Command,
as renewing Washingtons support for Yemens unity,
security and stability.
One account of the agreement was provided under the
headline Yemen, US sign military deal to fight rebels.
87
As the rebels are Shiite Muslims, Washington is exploiting
the conflict to recruit Saudi Arabia and other Gulf
nations against Iran.
Yemen, on the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula,
lies directly across from Djibouti where the Pentagon
maintains its only permanent base in Africa, Camp
Lemonier, and from Somalia, which U.S. warships
periodically shell from the Indian Ocean.
U.S. Consolidates Global Military Network
Bases, Missiles, Wars



Afghanistan is occupying center stage at the moment,
but in the wings are complementary maneuvers to
expand a string of new military bases and missile shield
facilities throughout Eurasia and the Middle East.






88
The advanced Patriot theater anti-ballistic missile
batteries in place or soon to be in Egypt, Georgia,
Germany, Greece, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, the Netherlands,
Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey
and the United Arab Emirates describe an arc stretching
from the Baltic Sea through Southeast Europe to the
Eastern Mediterranean Sea and the Caucasus and beyond
to East Asia.

A semicircle that begins on Russia's northwest and
ends on China's northeast.

Over the past decade the United States has steadily
(though to much of the world imperceptibly)
extended its military reach to most all parts of the
world.

From subordinating almost all of Europe to the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization through the latter's
expansion into Eastern Europe, including the former
Soviet Union, to arbitrarily setting up a regional
command that takes in the African continent (and all but
one of its 53 nations).

From invading and establishing military bases in the
Middle East and Central and South Asia to operating a
satellite surveillance base in Australia and taking charge
of seven military installations in South America.

In the vacuum left in much of the world by the demise
of the Cold War and the former bipolar world, the U.S.
rushed in to insert its military in various parts of the
world that had been off limits to it before.



89
And this while Washington cannot even credibly
pretend that it is threatened by any other nation
on earth.

It has employed a series of tactics to accomplish its
objective of unchallenged international armed
superiority, using an expanding NATO to build military
partnerships not only throughout Europe but in the
Caucasus, the Middle East, North and West Africa, Asia
and Oceania as well as employing numerous bilateral and
regional arrangements.

The pattern that has emerged is that of the U.S. shifting
larger concentrations of troops from post-World War II
bases in Europe and Japan to smaller, more dispersed
forward basing locations south and east of Europe and
progressively closer to Russia, Iran and China.

The ever-growing number of nations throughout the
world being pulled into Washington's military network
serve three main purposes.

First, they provide air, troop and weapons transit and
bases for wars like those against Yugoslavia, Afghanistan
and Iraq, for naval operations that are in fact blockades
by other names, and for regional surveillance.

Second, they supply troops and military equipment for
deployments to war and post-conflict zones whenever
and wherever required.

Last, allies and client states are incorporated into U.S.
plans for an international missile shield that will put
NATO nations and select allies under an impenetrable
canopy of interceptors

90
While other nations are susceptible to attack and
deprived of the deterrent effect of being able to
retaliate.

The degree to which these three components are being
integrated is advancing rapidly.

The war in Afghanistan is the major mechanism for
forging a global U.S. military nexus and one which in
turn provides the Pentagon the opportunity to obtain
and operate bases from Southeast Europe to Central
Asia.

One example that illustrates this global trend is
Colombia.

In early August the nation's vice president announced
that the first contingent of Colombian troops were to
be deployed to serve under NATO command in
Afghanistan.

Armed forces from South America will be assigned to
the North Atlantic bloc to fight a war in Asia.

The announcement of the Colombian deployment came
shortly after another, That the Pentagon would acquire
seven new military bases in Colombia.

When the U.S. deploys Patriot missile batteries to that
nation - on its borders with Venezuela and Ecuador - the
triad will be complete.



91
Afghanistan is occupying center stage at the moment,
but in the wings are complementary maneuvers to
expand a string of new military bases and missile shield
facilities throughout Eurasia and the Middle East.

On January 28 the British government will host a
conference in London on Afghanistan that, in the words
of what is identified as the UK Government's Afghanistan
website, will be co-hosted by Prime Minister Gordon
Brown, Afghanistan's President Karzai and United
Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and co-chaired by
British Foreign Minister David Miliband, his outgoing
Afghan counterpart Rangin Spanta, and UN Special
Representative to Afghanistan, Kai Eide.

"The international community are [sic] coming together
to fully align military and civilian resources behind an
Afghan-led political strategy."

The conference will also be attended by "foreign
ministers from International Security Assistance Force
partners, Afghanistans immediate neighbours and key
regional player [sic]."

Public relations requirements dictate that concerns
about the well-being of the Afghan people, "a stable and
secure Afghanistan" and "regional cooperation" be
mentioned, but the meeting will in effect be a war
council, one that will be attended by the foreign
ministers of scores of NATO and NATO partner states.

In the two days preceding the conference NATO's
Military Committee will meet at the Alliance's
headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.

92
"Together with the Chiefs of Defence of all 28 NATO
member states, 35 Chiefs of Defence of Partner
countries and Troop Contributing Nations will also be
present."

That is, top military commanders from 63 nations -
almost a third of the world's 192 countries - will gather
at NATO Headquarters to discuss the next phase of the
expanding war in South Asia and the bloc's new Strategic
Concept.

Among those who will attend the two-day Military
Committee meeting are General Stanley McChrystal, in
charge of all U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan Admiral
James Stavridis, chief U.S. military commander in Europe
and NATO's Supreme Allied Commander; Pakistani Chief
of the Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and
Israeli Chief of General Staff Gabi Ashkenazi.

Former American secretary of state Madeleine Albright
has been invited to speak about the Strategic Concept
on behalf of the twelve-member Group of Experts she
heads, whose task it is to promote NATO's 21st century
global doctrine.

The Brussels meeting and London conference highlight
the centrality that the war in Afghanistan has for the
West and for its international military enforcement
mechanism, NATO.





93
During the past few months Washington has been
assiduously recruiting troops from assorted NATO
partnership program nations for the war in Afghanistan,
including from Armenia, Bahrain, Bosnia, Colombia,
Jordan, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Ukraine and
other nations that had not previously provided
contingents to serve under NATO in the South Asian war
theater.

Added to forces from all 28 NATO member states and
from Partnership for Peace, Mediterranean Dialogue,
Istanbul Cooperation Initiative, Adriatic Charter and
Contact Country programs, the Pentagon and NATO are
assembling a coalition of over fifty nations for combat
operations in Afghanistan.

Almost as many NATO partner nations as full member
states have committed troops for the Afghanistan-
Pakistan war

Afghanistan itself, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Australia, Austria,
Bahrain, Colombia, Egypt, Finland, Georgia, Ireland,
Jordan, Macedonia, Mongolia, Montenegro, New Zealand,
Pakistan, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, Ukraine and
the United Arab Emirates.

The Afghan war zone is a colossal training ground for
troops from around the world to gain wartime
experience, to integrate armed forces from six
continents under a unified command, and to test new
weapons and weapons systems in real-life combat
conditions.


94
Not only candidates for NATO membership but all
nations in the world the U.S. has diplomatic and
economic leverage over are being pressured to support
the war in Afghanistan.

The American Forces Press Service featured a story last
month about the NATO-led International Security
Assistance Force's Regional Command East which
revealed

"In addition to...French forces, Polish forces are in
charge of battle space, and the Czech Republic, Turkey
and New Zealand manage provincial reconstruction
teams.

In addition, servicemembers and civilians from Egypt,
Jordan and the United Arab Emirates work with the
command, and South Korea runs a hospital in the
region."

With the acknowledgment that Egyptian forces are
assigned to NATO's Afghan war, it is now known that
troops from all six populated continents are
subordinated to NATO in one war theater.

How commitment to the Alliance's first ground war
relates to the Pentagon securing bases and a military
presence spreading out in all directions from
Afghanistan and how worldwide interceptor missile
plans are synchronized with both developments can be
shown region by region.



95
Central And South Asia

After the U.S. Operation Enduring Freedom attacks on
and subjugation of Afghanistan began in October of
2001 Washington and its NATO allies acquired the
indefinite use of air and other military bases in
Afghanistan, including Soviet-built airfields.

The West also moved into bases in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan
and Uzbekistan and with less fanfare in Pakistan and
Turkmenistan.

It has also gained transit rights from Kazakhstan and
NATO conducted its first military exercise in that nation,
Zhetysu 2009, last September.

The U.S. has lobbied the Kazakh government to supply
troops for NATO in Afghanistan (as it had earlier in Iraq)
under the bloc's Partnership for Peace provisions.

The Black Sea

The year after Romania was brought into NATO as a full
member in 2004 the U.S. signed an agreement to gain
control over four bases in Romania, including the Mihail
Kogalniceanu Air Base.

The next year a similar pact was signed with Bulgaria for
the use of three military installations, two of them air
bases.




96
The Pentagon's Joint Task Force-East (which operates
from the above-named base) conducted nearly three-
month-long joint military exercises last summer in
Bulgaria and Romania in preparation for deployment to
Afghanistan.

On January 24 eight Romanian and Bulgaria soldiers were
wounded in a rocket attack on a NATO base in Southern
Afghanistan.

Three days earlier Romania announced that it would
deploy 600 more troops to that nation, bringing its
numbers to over 1,600.

Bulgaria has also pledged to increase its troop strength
there and is considering consolidating all its forces in the
country in Kandahar, one of the deadliest provinces in
the war zone.

Late last November Foreign Minister Rumyana Zheleva of
Bulgaria was in Washington, D.C. to "hear the ideas of US
President Barack Obama's administration on the strategy
of the anti-missile defense in Europe."

During the same month Bogdan Aurescu, State Secretary
for Strategic Affairs in the Romanian Foreign Ministry,
stated that "The new variant of the US anti-missile shield
could cover Romania."

A local newspaper at the time commented on
Washington's new "stronger, smarter, and swifter"
missile shield plans that "



97
A strong and modern surveillance system located in
Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey could monitor three hot
areas at once the Black Sea, the Caucasus and the Caspian
and relevant zones in the Middle East."

Also last November a Russian news source wrote that
"Anonymous sources in the Russian intelligence
community say that the United States plans to supply
weapons, including a Patriot-3 air defense system and
shoulder-launched Stinger missiles, worth a total of $100
million, to Georgia."

In October the U.S. led the two-week Immediate
Response 2009 war games to prepare the first of an
estimated 1,000 Georgian troops for counterinsurgency
operations in Afghanistan, prompting neighboring
Abkhazia - which knew who the military training was also
aimed against - to stage its own exercises at the same
time.

American Patriot Advanced Capability-3 interceptor
missiles in Georgia would be deployed against Russia, as
they will be 35 miles from its border in Poland.

Former head of the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency
Lt. Gen. Henry Obering stated two years ago that Georgia
and even Ukraine were potential locations for American
missile shield deployments.





98
Middle East

Last October and November the U.S. and Israel held their
largest-ever joint military exercise, Operation Juniper
Cobra 10, which established another precedent in
addition to the number of troops and warships involved

The simultaneous testing of five missile defense systems.

An American military official present at the war games
was one of several sources acknowledging that the
exercises were in preparation for the Barack Obama
administration's more extensive, NATO-wide and
broader, missile interception system.

Juniper Cobra was the initiation of the U.S. X-Band radar
station opened in 2008 in Israel's Negev Desert.

Over 100 American service members are based there for
the foreseeable future, the first U.S. troops formally
deployed in that nation.

In December the Jerusalem Post quoted an unnamed
Israeli defense official as saying "The expansion of the
war in Afghanistan opens a door for us."

The same source wrote "the NATO-U.S. plan to deploy a
cross-continent missile shield in Europe also represents
an opportunity for the Jewish state to market its
military platforms...."

"Meanwhile, recent months have seen several senior
NATO officials travel to Israel for discussions that
reportedly focused on, among other things, how.

99
Israel could help NATO troops fight in Afghanistan.

Last June Israeli President Shimon Peres led a 60-member
delegation that included Defense Ministry Director-
General Pinhas Buchris to Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, on
opposite ends of the Caspian Sea.

A year ago "Kazakhstan's defense ministry said...it had
asked Israel to help it modernize its military and produce
weapons that comply with NATO standards."

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the first Arab country
to provide troops to NATO for Afghanistan

It has a partnership arrangement with NATO under
provisions of the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative for Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) members.

Early this month a local newspaper announced that "the
UAE became the largest foreign purchaser of US defence
equipment with sales of $7.9bn, ahead of Afghanistan
($5.4bn), Saudi Arabia ($3.3bn) and Taiwan ($3.2bn).

"The spending included orders for munitions for the
UAE's F-16 fighter jets as well as a new Patriot defensive
missile system and a fleet of corvettes for the navy."

Nine days later the same newspaper reported on a
visit by Lt. Gen. Michael Hostage, commander of
the U.S. Air Force Central Command, to discuss
"the possibility of setting up a shared early
warning system and enhancing the region's
ballistic-missile deterrence."

100
Hostage was quoted as saying "I am attempting to
organize a regional integrated air and missile defense
capability with our GCC partners."

An Emirati general added, "The GCC needs a national and
multinational ballistic missile defence (BMD) to counter
long-range proliferating regional ballistic missile
threats."

The missile shield is aimed against Iran.

Last September Pentagon chief Robert Gates said, "The
reality is we are working both on a bilateral and a
multilateral basis in the Gulf to establish the same kind
of regional missile defense [as envisioned for Europe]
that would protect our facilities out there as well as our
friends and allies."

"In a September 17 briefing, Gates said...the United
States has already formed a Gulf missile defense network
that consisted of PAC-3 and the Aegis sea-based
systems."

The exact system soon to be deployed in the Baltic Sea
and Mediterranean and afterwards the Black Sea.

In addition, the "UAE has ordered the Terminal High
Altitude Area Defense system, designed to destroy
nuclear missiles in the exoatmosphere.

Over the last two years, the Pentagon has been meeting
GCC military chiefs to discuss regional and national
missile defense programs....



101
At the same time, the U.S. military has been operating
PAC-3 in Kuwait and Qatar.

The U.S. Army has also been helping Saudi Arabia
upgrade its PAC-2 fleet.

Turkey's Hurriyet Daily News reported at the end of last
year that Turkey is set to make crucial defense decisions
in 2010 as the U.S. offer to join a missile shield program
and multibillion-dollar contracts are looming over the
country's agenda.

If a joint NATO missile shield is developed, such a move
may force Ankara to join the mechanism despite the
possible Iranian reaction....

U.S. President Barack Obama's administration has invited
Ankara to join a Western missile shield system...."

An account of the broader strategy adds:

"U.S. officials are also urging Turkey to choose the Patriot
Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) against Russian and Chinese
rivals competing for a Turkish contract for the purchase
of high-altitude and long-range antimissile defense
systems....

A new plan calls for the creation of a regional system in
southeastern Europe, the Mediterranean and part of the
Middle East.

In phase one of the new Obama plan, the U.S. will deploy
SM-3 interceptor missiles and radar surveillance systems
on sea-based Aegis weapons systems by 2011.

102
In phase two and by 2015, a more capable version of the
SM-3 interceptor and more advanced sensors will be
used in both sea-and land-based configurations.

In later phases three and four, intercepting and
detecting capabilities further will be developed."

One of Russia's main news agencies reported on U.S.
plans to incorporate Turkey into its new missile designs,
with Turkey as the only NATO state bordering Iran
serving as the bridge between a continent-wide system
in Europe and its extension into the Middle East
"According to the Milliyet daily, U.S. President Barack
Obama last week proposed placing a 'missile shield' on
Turkish soil....

Both Russia and Iran will perceive that [deployment] as a
threat,' a Turkish military source was quoted as saying."

A broader description of the interceptor missile project
in progress includes "Obama's team has...sought to
'NATO-ise' the US plan by involving other allies more
closely in its development and deployment.

The idea is to create a NATO chain of command similar to
that long used for allied air defences.

That would involve a NATO 'backbone' for command-and-
control jointly funded by the allies, into which the US
sea-based defences and other national assets, such as
short-range Patriot missile interceptors purchased by
European nations including Germany, the Netherlands
and Greece, could be 'plugged in' to the NATO system
creating a multi-layered defence shield."


103
The advanced Patriot theater anti-ballistic missile
batteries in place or soon to be in Egypt, Georgia,
Germany, Greece, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, the Netherlands,
Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey
and the United Arab Emirates describe an arc stretching
from the Baltic Sea through Southeast Europe to the
Eastern Mediterranean Sea and the Caucasus and beyond
to East Asia.

A semicircle that begins on Russia's northwest and ends
on China's northeast.

Baltic Sea

Poland's Defense Ministry revealed on January 20 that
the U.S. will deploy a Patriot Advanced Capability anti-
ballistic missile battery and 100 troops to a Baltic Sea
location 35 miles from Russian territory.

The country's foreign minister - former investment
adviser to Rupert Murdoch and resident fellow of the
American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. -Radek
Sikorski, recently pledged to increase Polish troop
numbers in Afghanistan from the current 1,955.

"We will be at 2,600 by April and 400 additional troops on
standby, which we will deploy if there is a need to
strengthen security."

Fellow Baltic littoral states Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
combined have almost 500 troops in Afghanistan, a
number likely to rise.



104
The Lithuanian Siauliai Air Base was ceded to NATO in
2004 after the three Baltic states became full members.

The Alliance has flown regular air patrols in the region,
with U.S. warplanes participating in six-month rotations,
ever since. Within a few minutes flight from Russia.

The three nations will be probable docking sites for U.S.
Aegis-class warships and their Standard Missile-3
interceptors under new Pentagon-NATO missile shield
deployments.

Far East Asia

South Korea pledged 350 troops for NATO's Afghan war
last year and in late December Seoul announced that it
would send a ranking officer for the first time "to attend
a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) conference
to seek ways to strengthen cooperation with other
nations in dispatching troops to Afghanistan and
coordinate military operations there," likely a reference
to the January 26-27 Military Committee meeting.

In the middle of January the U.S. conducted Beverly
Bulldog 10-01 exercises in South Korea which "involved
more than 7,200 U.S. airmen at Osan and Kunsan air bases
and other points around the peninsula in an air war
exercise" and "about 125 soldiers of the U.S. Army's
Patriot missile unit in South Korea...."

On January 14 the new government of Prime Minister
Yukio Hatoyama ended Japan's naval refuelling mission
carried out in support of the U.S. war in Afghanistan
since 2001.


105
However, pressure will be exerted on Tokyo at the
January 28 conference in London, particularly by Hillary
Clinton, to reengage in some capacity.

On last year's anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor, December 7, the U.S. and Japan held joint war
games, Yama Sakura (Mountain Cherry Blossom), on the
island of Hokkaido in northernmost Japan, that part of
the country nearest Russia on the Sea of Japan.

North Korea was the probable alleged belligerent.

Over 5,000 troops participated in drills that included
"battling a regional threat that includes missile defenses,
air defense and ground-forces operations...."
"Japan's military has been actively developing its anti-
missile defenses in cooperation with the United States.

It currently has deployed Patriot PAC-3 missile defenses
at several locations and also has two sea-based Aegis-
equipped Kongo-class warships with anti-missile
interceptors," the latter having engaged in joint SM-3
missile interceptions with the U.S. off Hawaii.

If support for the war in Afghanistan is linked with
deployment of tactical missile shield installations in Israel
and Poland, in the first case aimed at Iran and in the
second at Russia, the case of Taiwan is even more overt.

Almost immediately after announcements that the U.S.
would provide it with over 200 Patriot Advanced
Capability-3 missiles and double the amount of frigates it
had earlier supplied, with Taiwan planning to use the
warships for


106
Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System upgrades, the
nation's China Times newspaper wrote that "Following a
recent US-Taiwan military deal, the Obama
administration has demanded that Taiwan provide non-
military aid for troops in Afghanistan....

The US wants Taiwan to provide medical or engineering
assistance to US troops in Afghanistan that will be
increased...."

Dispatching troops to Afghanistan would be too
gratuitous an incitement against China (which shares a
narrow border with the South Asian nation), but Taiwan
will nevertheless be levied to support the war effort
there.

Wars: Stepping Stones For New Bases, Future
Conflicts

The 78-day U.S. and NATO air war against Yugoslavia in
1999, Operation Allied Force, allowed the Pentagon to
construct the mammoth Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo and
within ten years to incorporate five Balkans nations into
NATO.

It also prepared the groundwork for U.S. Navy warships
to dock at ports in Albania, Croatia and Montenegro.

Two years later the attack on Afghanistan led to the
deployment of U.S. and NATO troops, armor and
warplanes to five nations in Central and South Asia.




107
The war in Afghanistan and Pakistan has also contributed
to the Pentagon's penetration of the world's second
most populous nation, India, which is being pulled into
the American military orbit and integrated into global
NATO.

The U.S. and Israel are supplanting Russia as India's main
arms supplier and U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates
recently returned from India where his mission included
"lifting bilateral military relations from a policy-
alignment plane to a commercial platform that will
translate into larger contracts for American companies."

With the quickly developing expansion of the
Afghanistan-Pakistan war into an Afghanistan-Pakistan-
Yemen-Somalia theater, NATO warships are in the Gulf of
Aden and the Indian Ocean and the U.S. has stationed
Reaper drones, aircraft and troops in Seychelles.

[On the same day as the London conference on
Afghanistan a parallel meeting on Yemen will be held in
the same city.]

After the 2003 invasion of Iraq the Pentagon gained air
and other bases in that nation as well as what it
euphemistically calls forward operating sites and base
camps in Jordan, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

In less than a decade the Pentagon and NATO have
acquired strategic air bases and ones that can be
upgraded to that status in Afghanistan, Bulgaria, Iraq,
Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania and Romania.




108
Global NATO And Militarization Of The Planet

The January 26 Chief of Defense session of NATO's
Military Committee with top military leaders of 63
countries attending - while the bloc is waging and
escalating the world's largest and lengthiest war
thousands of miles away from the Atlantic Ocean - is
indicative of the pass that the post-Cold War world has
arrived at.

Never in any context other than meetings of NATO's
Military Committee do the military chiefs of so many
nations (including at least five of the world's eight
nuclear powers), practically a third of the world's, gather
together.

That the current meeting is dedicated to NATO
operations on three continents and in particular to the
world's only military bloc's new Strategic Concept for
the 21st century - and for the planet - would have been
deemed impossible twenty or even ten years ago.

As would have been the U.S. and its NATO allies invading
and occupying a Middle Eastern and a South Asian
nation.

And the elaboration of plans for an international
interceptor missile system with land, air, sea and space
components.

In fact, though, all have occurred or are underway and
all are integrated facets of a concerted drive for global
military superiority.
