Al-Qaeda, do you believe it exsists as a terror group independant of the CIA today?

Question

Shortly before his untimely death, former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told the House of Commons that "Al Qaeda" is not really a terrorist group but a database of international mujaheddin and arms smugglers used by the CIA and Saudis to funnel guerrillas, arms, and money into Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. Courtesy of World Affairs, a journal based in New Delhi, WMR can bring you an important excerpt from an Apr.-Jun. 2004 article by Pierre-Henry Bunel, a former agent for French military intelligence.

n 1995, the U.S. finally stopped funding the Mujaheddin, but Benazir Bhutto, Prime Minister of Pakistan in 1996, said in a BBC interview that the Taliban training schools in Pakistan had been paid for by the United States and Britain.

So is Al-Qaeda really out to get us, or just a CIA front group used to justify US agression abroad?

Answer 1

I believethe CIA still controls Al-Qaeda. I remember British agents in Iraq dressed up as arabs getting arrested by Iraqi police and broken out of prisone by a british tank. I heard how Joyce Riley covered the story of US special forces troops during the First Gulf war entering the oil fields just ahead of coalition forces and setting charges to ignite the oil fields.

I know that the mainstream media has been compromised by out CIA in operation Mockingbird and that former CID Director William Colby publically stated the CIA had an asset in the majority of US media back in the 1970's.

I know the CIA openly engages in operations domestically which it allegedly is forbidden for doing. I know Kroll security is a revolving door for the CIA and that Kroll security had the contract to do security in the World trade center just up to Sept 10th 2001.

I know that LAPD and many other police forces have CIA agents openly working with the departments.

Therefor it is no surprise to me that the CIA is in bed still with their creation Al-Qaeda, or as stated earlier and far more accurate, Al-CIAda.

Answer 2

The US foreign policy has a long history of a policy that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" We helped Stalin fight Hitler during WWII, and after the war when Russia became the greatest threat to our security, we back a host of nasty people to fight the Communist menace, including the fighters in Afghanistan. We back Saddam in his war with Iran, and we are now backing the Sunnis in Iraq and the right wing dictators in the middle east in our fight against terror. Ten years from now something will blow up in our face, and people will ask why did we do that, and the answer will be " It seemed like a good Idea at the time."

Answer 3

SilentDeath88 is obviously ignorant of how crimminal elements in power utilizes resources to cover themselves in a scandal. In the past, it has been proven that the CIA was involved with wickedness (arms dealers, the mafia, drug trafficing, assasinations, terrorism, getting leaders out of power, running foreign contracts into the ground for America's corporate interests, etc). But still, the CIA exists today.

Answer 4

The Mujaheddin did receive assistance from the CIA during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan... but I think it is incredibly foolish conspiracy/paranoia to think that the CIA is still SUPPORTING them...

Answer 5

I would have to say no. I think Al-Qaida is completely in-house CIA. And we have to keep it that way, keep control over it. The spectre of terror is too important to the continuation of our way of life as it stands. We can't outsource this operation to anyone else. In fact, it might be better if we ran Al-Qaida ops from the White House, which is clearly the best place to consolidate all state power right now.

I mean, Cheney is really the only one who is with the program right now. If only we could remove his brain, put it in a vat in the Lincoln room and keep it going with some molecular cocktail so we stay on program here.

Answer 6

Lame.

Twist some facts and misrepresent others and you have an instant conspiracy theory.

Even the most brief of research would give you the date that Al Quaeda came into existence. (Hint: It was after the first Gulf war.)

Answer 7

So if I am about to die and say Aliens bugger our dogs, will you believe that also. Is there proof positive, I mean proof that can stand up in court. Obviously not since otherwise we would have seen it all by now.

Answer 8

Obviously your information is as much erred and fraudulent as it is simply idiotic. I cannot back a lack of a connection between the two as no such ties exist. One cannot prove non-existence. I, however defy you to prove the existence of such a link.

Answer 9

Conspiracies never sleep. They just get more and more absurd.
