President Jimmy Carter and National
Security Adviser
Zbignew Brzezinski: Giving birth to the
terrorism crisis.
'American Terrorism': Washington Never Learns its Lesson (Al Ahram, Egypt)
"On September 11, 2001, the United States absorbed a devastating
blow from the al-Qaeda group, and American blood was shed at the
hands of terrorists who had been trained, funded, armed and mentored by the
the U.S. … It seems that the Americans failed to fully grasp the lesson
of the terrorism industry in Afghanistan, and went right back into the business
in Iraq and Syria. Now that they have suffered another terrorist coup, the
Americans have reverted again to an international campaign against terrorism."
"Because
the United States itself has a long record of supporting terrorists and using
terrorist tactics, the slogans of today’s war on terrorism merely makes the
United States look hypocritical to the rest of the world. ... By any measure
the U.S. has long used terrorism. In ‘78-79 the Senate was trying to pass a law
against international terrorism - in every version they produced, the lawyers
said the U.S. would be in violation." -- NSA director under President Ronald
Reagan, Lt. General William Odom. [Audio]
It is a well-known historical fact that the
United States established, sponsored, trained, armed and organized Islamic
terrorist groups in order to pressure and exhaust the Soviet Union after its
forces crossed the Afghan border and occupied the country to protect its fast-collapsing
communist regime at the end of 1979.
To oppose the atheist forces of communism, the Americans
chose the slogan "Islamic Jihad." This they used to great advantage to
avenge themselves for what happened to them in Vietnam at the hands of communist
forces led by the Soviet Union. They wanted to bury the Soviets in their own Vietnam.
The Americans managed to recruit thousands of young men from the Arab and
Muslim words with the help of a wide range of Arab countries, which provided generous
funding and training camps, with the rest of the tasks carried out by the various
intelligence services. This was accompanied by a major media operation that
included a host of clerics and proselytizers issuing the necessary fatwas.
Islamic political groups seized on the opportunity to
prepare their cadres with military training - specifically to serve their plans
and ambitions while at the same time working to consolidate their political and
security relations U.S. and Western intelligence agencies. In the meantime, they
stored whatever weapons, munitions and equipment they could get their hands on.
On September 11, 2001, the United States absorbed a devastating
blow from the al-Qaeda group, and American blood was shed at the
hands of terrorists who had been trained, funded, armed and mentored by the
U.S. Its reaction wasn't long in coming. It launched a military campaign
against "terrorism," leading a global military alliance to counter al-Qaeda
and the Taliban regime. Despite its successful occupation of Afghanistan and the
toppling of the Taliban regime, the campaign failed to eradicate either al-Qaeda
or terrorism. When the United States embarked on the occupation of Iraq in
2003, al-Qaeda leaders found the environment there conducive for operating
against U.S. forces in the country. The United States wasn't alone in suffering
from terrorist operations. The whole world has thereby suffered, and finally, U.S.
military units managed to kill Osama bin Laden in his secret location in
Pakistan.
During those years, Washington adopted policies the goal of
which was to avoid ever being targeting by Islamic terrorist groups again, which
included pushing these forces to fight one another, i.e.: to have Muslims killing
Muslims. In most Arab countries, such policies soon delivered power to the
forces of political Islam, after reaching deals with such groups that they
would commit to protecting the security of Israel and to respect the political,
economic and social rights of Christians and women.

From the heart of the Arab Spring, the Muslim Brotherhood reached
the pinnacle of power in Tunisia and Egypt, gained wide influence in Libya,
Syria and Yemen, with strong support for this scheme coming from Turkey and
Qatar along with the Europeans.
During the year the Muslim Brotherhood spent organizing its
rise to power in Egypt, it kept its pledges to America. It protected
the security of Israel and opened the doors of Egypt to terrorists from
countries around the world. It turned Sinai into its main area of operation as
a prelude to transforming it into an Islamist emirate adjacent to the terrorist
emirate of Hamas in the Gaza strip. The truth of the Muslim Brotherhood had
been thoroughly exposed to the world, and the result was the immediate loss of both
the land it relied upon and its popular support. On June 30,
2013, Egypt revolted in an unprecedented fashion and succeeded in isolating
the Muslim Brotherhood.

House to discuss Soviet atrocities in Afghanistan, Feb. 2, 1983.
With the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt isolated and America's plans
and strategic objectives exposed, it was necessary to find a solution. Once
again the U.S. resorted to unleashing the terrorists of “Daesh”
into the Syrian desert, which stretches from eastern Syria to Western Iraq,
first to accommodate these terrorist forces and then to direct them against
targets in Syria and Iraq.
It seems that the Americans failed to fully grasp the lesson
of the terrorism industry in Afghanistan, and went right back into the business
in Iraq and Syria. Now that they have suffered another terrorist coup, the
Americans have reverted again to an international campaign against terrorism.
Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by
asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the
United States in Afghanistan, people didn’t believe them. However, there was a
basis of truth. You don’t regret anything today?
Zbigniew Brzezinski: Regret what? That secret
operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into
the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets
officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We now have the
opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war.
Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the
government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the
breakup of the Soviet empire.
Q: And neither do you regret having supported the
Islamic (integrisme), having given arms and advice to
future terrorists?
Brzezinski: What is most important to the history of
the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire?
Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the
cold war?
