The war on terror is a fraud perpetrated on the American people so they would willingly pay for a business venture in Afghanistan. I'm not saying 9-11 didn't happen, and I'm not suggesting Al Qaida was not involved. I'm saying, however, that Kahlid Sheik Mohamed is going on trial for the very thing our media blamed on Osama Bin Laden as George W. Bush declared the Taliban were harboring terrorists. (He later declared they WERE terrorists...a slight play on words.) The problem with his logic was that the Taliban did NOT attack us on 9-11, and they were the legitimate government of Afghanistan when he wined and dined them in Houston on behalf of Unocal.
Bush was trying to establish an agreement by which Unocal could build the Trans-Afghan Pipeline across their country. (The BBC was the only news organization which covered the event.) Unfortunately, a company called Bridas Corporation from Argentina had beaten them to the punch and procured a contract for a similar pipeline. To get them out of the way meant Unocal (and Bush) had to undermine that deal and the Taliban government as well. China was ready to build the export terminal in Balochistan, and the Asian markets were wide open. (Besides that, China is oil deficient, and they already owned the largest portion of our national debt along with the countless loans they'd made to our government.) The rest, as they say, is history.
