This is no different than the US funding fundamentalists fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. Bin Laden came back to bite us. The fact that all these washed-up intelligence "analysts" are beating up on Israel is just a tactic to divert attention from their failures with Bin Laden.

I agree, it sounds like a lot of hypocrisy.

I agree with your comments.

.....he had helped fund "Islamic movements as a counterweight to the PLO and communists,"....

Many forget that the present situation was facilitated and exacerbated by the USSR as early as 1948. Stalin was eager to expand into the middle east and control the oil, just as Hitler had been, and there was a struggle between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. for the hearts and minds of the people in that area. We had supported the U.N. resolution to create Israel and Israel was the only democracy in the region so they were a natural for us to support. During the 1967 six day war Israel was equipped by the U.S. and all the Arab countries had Soviet weapons. Israel soundly trounced all its enemies and could have controlled all of the middle east had we not stopped them.

After that we supported the Shah's rise to power in Iran and the Saudis and the Egyptians in our ideological war with Stalin in that area. Along the way we have supported quite a few unsavory characters just as Israel may have backed Hamas.

What you fail to see is that Islam was planned to be the next great enemy for the West to have as the curtain wrapped on Communism and the threat from the Soviets was to crumble at the end of the 80's.

Zbignew Brezinski was the architect of the militant Islamic resistance in Afghanistan in the late 70's. It was coordinated through the Pakistani ISI, heavily influenced by the CIA. In his book entitled "The Grand Chessboard", he writes that it the Afghani islamic radicals would launch a Pearl Harbor like attack on the US, to be followed by a US response/invasion. All he leaves out is that Bin-Laden, the designated bogey-man, was needed to tie-in to the Taliban to focus the target onto Afghanistan and Central Asia.

Also, see the article that was just reported of how Israel created Hamas as a counterpoint to the PLO. Barry Hamish, a writer in Israel, says that the true leaders of the Israelis and Palestinians are playing a dangerous game of high stakes conflict for their own agendas. Peace is not to be allowed.

Bin-Laden, the former and still(if not dead) CIA asset, was supposedly transformed from a decadent playboy to a religious zealot, standing against everything that made his family an institution in his home country.

All this is leading to a World War III, and a new great depression, leading to the establishment of a New World Order, run by the elites, who vainly feel they can control the chaos and they dont need 80 % of the world's population, all they need is a little more science and they believe they will live forever. These are the descendants of Kings and mighty families like Rothschild, Rockefeller and Bush who feel they entitled to rule since the population is so meek and ignorant to their plans. They follow the dictum that the useless eaters, common people are steaks on their table by their consent through their willful ignorance.

Its like Zbig says, the world is a grand chessboard, and us peeon US citizens are expendable pawns in the game of global domination. The truth is there if you dare to seek it.
