You and I and many here may know that . . .

But the simpletons it was directed at didn't have a clue it was untrue.

Several years back, I read

In reply to Could you explain how

Several years back, I read through a whole lot of "Islamists" sites. I mean a lot; more than a hundred. The CIA support for the mujahadeen in Afghanistan during the fight with the Soviet Union is where most of the tool language is based upon.

I saw a lot of references to a Wahhabi agenda that only referenced the US as a supporter of Saudi Arabia. And these references mostly came from the Sufi in Central Asia who see themselves as under siege by the Wahhabi. From what I have read, they are.

Some Iraqi Sunni expelled many Al Qaeda elements with US help. Does that make them our allies?

I mention these bits only as examples, not as an argument that such and such is the situation. The situation is complicated. Allies on one level are working against each other on other levels.

Enter Machiavelli.

Does this mean Peter is one

Does this mean Peter is one of the 9/11 Truthers? I lost patience with them a long time ago.

In reply to Oh I sooo know this answer!

Is the chicken participating in the meal (scrambled eggs) or is the chicken committed to the meal (fried chicken)?

Oh I sooo know this answer!

Oh I sooo know this answer! The oligarchy uses fear of Al Qaeda to manipulate the masses into endorsing empire re-enforcing activities.

Beware: it's not possible to win any arguments against this theory because Al Qaeda also wishes to manipulate western masses into empire-reinforcing activities, in order to inspire the ummah to join jihad against the same. You get into a chicken-or-the-egg type of situation as to who is the tool.

Could you explain how Al-Qaeda is a tool of the West?

I believe this is what you

I believe this is what you call Magical Thinking. While I think Al Qaeda is a tool of US Empire they did state that the US would destroy itself and we are well on the way to validating that statement.

Also easier to cast in

Also easier to cast in movies.
