Surveys conducted across the US show that the
majority of Americans, including senior citizens old enough to remember
the US entry into World War II, regard the September, 11, 2001 drama as
exceeding in historical importance the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack.
Speaking of the latter, these days it is an open secret that the US
Administration was aware of the coming Japanese offensive and, instead
of taking adequate measures beforehand, knowingly sacrificed around
1,500 lives to have the country drawn into a war as planned in
Washington. US Secretary of War Henry Stimson rote in his diary
following the November 25, 1941 government meeting: “The question was
how we should maneuver them [the Japanese] into the position of firing
the first shot without allowing too much danger to ourselves. It was a
difficult proposition”.

The CIA’s Islamist Terrorist Network
From: Strategic Culture:
The Central Intelligence Agency
cobbled together the forerunner of the present Muslim jihadist terrorist
network in the late 1970s to battle Soviet troops in Afghanistan.
Throughout the next three decades, the CIA continued to maintain links
with the jihadist groups, using them as allies for certain operations
and attacking them when America’s «commitment» to the «war on terrorism»
required an propaganda boost in the world’s media.
An example of the CIA ‘s flip-flopping between using its mujaheddin and
jihadist allies and then declaring them «terrorists» and putting a
price on their heads is the recent declaration by Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton that the Haqqani network based in North Waziristan,
Pakistan is a «foreign terrorist organization».
The Haqqani network, led by Jalaluddin Haqqani, was cobbled together by
the CIA and the Pakistani Directorate of Inter-Services Intelligence
(ISI) in the 1980s.
