Pity the Americans
By Asim H. Akhund • Aug 6th, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look • (4,123 views) • One ResponseAfter 9/11, Al Qaeda did not take the responsibility of the attacks. It was only a week or so before the US Presidential elections in 2004 (in which Bush was again standing for the President), Osama Bin Laden released a footage claiming that they have carried out the attacks of 9/11.
Now that the 2008 US Presidential elections are few months away, there has come another admittance from Al Qaeda’s second in command (his position only determined by the intelligence agencies) in the Al Qaeda Mustafa Abu Al Yazid, where he has claimed that they were behind the 9/11 attacks, bombing of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 and the bombing of Danish embassy in June in Islamabad.
We should ask, why has he claimed again something that has been already claimed by his supreme commander Osama Bin Laden, relevance of the timing and who exactly will benefit from his footage/claim? Why all these claims come when there is something significant about to happen especially in relation to when US policy makers are or would be questioned for their policies of war on terror?
These claims are not for any one else but the Americans and these messages time and again only serve the purpose of reinforcement of US policies in their minds by stressing again and again that they were attacked in 9/11 and their homeland is in danger because of these mythic groups. And also to reinforces US policies in countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran in coming days. Are the Americans ever going to ask as to why their monies are extortionately used in this war on terror game?
These statements from Al Qaeda (even the name Al Qaeda is never taken by any of the claimants) are only doing good to the US policy makers and most probably given on their behest. The reason I say on the behest of policy makers is that, we all saw that when US was involved in hegemonic activities like Vietnam it was the Americans who came on the streets and made the policy makers listen to their voices i.e. they do not want US to indulge in such activities and their tax money should not be spent on such hegemonic games rather themselves.
We often say that Pakistanis are very naive as they always elect people who have time and again let them down. Well, if that is the case then Americans are no different, the way their media and establishment play with their minds and get the war mongers elected for their purposes is blatantly obvious but they cannot see it.
Why the Americans are not perspective enough to see and question Bush about their $400 Billions of tax money wasted on war on terror and with no results. Pity the Americans.

A friend in need is a friend indeed!
I bear repeating it here that after capturing Iraq; United States forces moved North and are now in occupation of Afghanistan, out there to catch Osama & Co; the declared culprit of 9/11 attack.In Afghanistan supposedly, US holds the full command of this country.
But Osama and his top commanders are still out of reach for last many years. Reportedly, they are living right in Afghanistan and are doing their businesses very successfully in the same country, the way they want.
Is it not very surprising?
Yes; of course! It is.
But- we don’t want to catch them!
Why we will not be catching them?
Well, I have to tell you a… little story:
Once there was a conference going on, of ‘police heads’ of different countries.
The on going discussion was that how early the thugs can be caught by police in respective countries?
Country ‘A’ said that they can get hold of the culprit, after three days of the incident.
‘B’ said; well they can do it with in one day.
And when the turn of ‘C’ came, the man said; catching of thugs, well no problem. We will know this plan, three days earlier… before the incident happens.
How come – asked every body?
Reply was; ‘Because the theft… we carry out our selves’.
Like wise in case of United States all the actions in the wide stretched battle fields of ‘War on Terror’ are very well coordinated and well measured. The lynch pin of Terrorism; the Al Qaeda, they know their duties very well. The grand stooge and the myth runner; the abettor Osama bin laden; May there, no harm come to him. He is George W Bush’s best loyal friend. Carrying out, all the good jobs for United States! Only he is made to sit out there in the wilderness for a specific purpose; even when he must be now grown old and turn very frail.
Who can be a better abettor, better henchmen than Osama & Co? Always ready to fix the predicaments for George W Bush by sending a simple audio or video tape with rhetoric of terror, in advance and with the input, that the man exactly wants. When there is war like conditions, Conservatives in US Elections usually do better. Osama services are most appreciatable.
And have Osama & co ever been late– or– they have disappointed Bush in this regard? No… Never.
A friend in need is a friend indeed!
Please don’t be surprised. This is the way, the way it is.
