In the beginning of the 21st century the United States invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, but was it worth it? The war was incredibly expensive in terms of lives and money. It cost a total of $4 trillion in lifetime expenses, at least 4,424 deaths, and at least 31,952 wounded. The government claims that these wars were necessary to get revenge for 9/11 (Afghanistan) and to root out weapons of mass destruction (Iraq). However, these two reasons were only coverups for the government’s true purpose of going to war. Many Americans lives were destroyed and many more had their hard-earned money stolen to finance these wars that only benefited the government. Not to mention all the innocent people in the Middle East who have suffered. So, was it really worth it?
Afghanistan
According to the government, the reason we went to war in Afghanistan was to capture Usama Bin Laden, who was supposedly the mastermind behind 9/11. But is this really true? There is substantial evidence to the contrary. The 9/11 attacks are not mentioned on the FBI’s most wanted poster for Bin Laden . The only crime specifically mentioned is his connection to attacks on U.S. embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya, which killed over 200 people. This crime pales in comparison to 9/11. So, if Bin Laden was responsible for 9/11, why not include it on his wanted poster?
On June 5, 2006 the Muckracker Report contacted the FBI and asked why 9/11 was not included on Bin Laden’s wanted poster. They got in contact with the FBI’s Chief of Investigative Publicity, Rex Tomb, who said: “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.” Let that sink in for a moment. The FBI said that they cannot connect Bin Laden to 9/11. Then why did we go to war in Afghanistan?
There is the matter of the “confession” video the U.S. government released on December 13, 2001. The video showed Bin Laden with some of his buddies recounting on the 9/11 attacks with delight. The government declared that this video proved Bin Laden’s involvement. But, this video could easily have been faked. Additionally, if the video was real, why did the FBI not consider it hard evidence indicating Bin Laden’s involvement in 9/11? Maybe they knew the video was a fake designed to fool the American public. Clearly, this all points to Bin Laden not being the orchestrater behind 9/11, so what was the point of the war?
The U.S. government had planned to go to war in Afghanistan even before 9/11. There are multiple news sources that establish that the U.S. government was planning to go to war in Afghanistan in the summer of 2001. BBC news was told by a Pakistani diplomat that the U.S. had planned to go to war in Afghanistan even before the 9/11 attacks. BBC news writes: “Niaz Naik, a former Pakistani Foreign Secretary, was told by senior American officials in mid-July that military action against Afghanistan would go ahead by the middle of October.” The full article is here.
MSNBC finds the same thing. The U.S. government already had plans for war. That article is here. Additionally the government of India released in the summer of 2001 that they would support the U.S.’s military invasion of Afghanistan. Why did they say they would support an invasion that supposedly wasn’t even planned yet? More on that here. The FBI said Usama Bin Laden wasn’t behind 9/11. Additionally, the U.S. government already had plans to invade Afghanistan before 9/11. Therefore, this war was not about justice. It was not about 9/11. It was about advancing the U.S. government.
The U.S. government used Usama Bin Laden and 9/11 to justify their war in Afghanistan. The 9/11 attacks were like the second Pearl Harbor. They rallied the American public in support of the government’s war. This was to the governments benefit. They needed the attacks on 9/11. So, this leads to the conclusion that maybe they were ones who were behind it, just like how Franklin D. Roosevelt manipulated the Japanese into attacking at Pearl Harbor.
There is mountains of evidence showing how the government’s narrative of 9/11 is false. One particularly great site is Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. This site is the testament of thousands of architects, engineers, and physicists. They prove that it is impossible from a physics standpoint for the government’s narrative of how the buildings fell to be correct. It is also strange that the many defense systems in place all did not work on 9/11. Normally, as soon as any plane flies off course fighter jets are scrambled to intercept it within 20 minutes. There would have been enough time to stop the 9/11 attacks. But, that conveniently didn’t happen that day. Therefore, it is my theory that the government intentionally set up the 9/11 attacks to get public support for their war. (In addition to satisfying their evil, satanic desires to hurt people.)
The war in Afghanistan was not to get justice for 9/11. The war was planned before the attacks on 9/11 took place. Plus, Bin Laden was most likely not the orchestrater of the attacks. Therefore, the war in Afghanistan was simply for the government’s benefit. I don’t claim to know their exact motives. It could have been oil, to enact new interventionist legislation (which did come in the form of the Patriot Act), or maybe just for their sick pleasure. Whatever the reason was, it was not worth American lives or American money to fight that war. The sacrifice of all those Americans was wasted on the government’s sick goals. The same thing is true of Iraq.
Iraq
Shortly after 9/11, President Bush decided to invade Iraq as well. They wanted to topple Saddam Hussein’s governmental regime, but they, of course, needed a reason. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. The government tried to find a link to Iraq and 9/11, but was generally unsuccessful. Therefore, the government needed to come up with a new reason to invade Iraq. They decided to attack Iraq on the basis of rooting out their chemical/biological weapons of mass destructions. However, this is not really why the U.S. invaded. The point of the invasion was to install an American puppet government in Iraq. This would give control of the Iraqi oil fields to the American government and the big oil companies (which are in cahoots with the government). They want this control for obvious reasons.
However, the weapons that the U.S. invaded to destroy were not there when the U.S. invaded. They were already disposed of before hand if they had even existed in the first place. Long-suppressed evidence from a top Iraqi defector was posted on World Net Daily, which shows that the weapons of mass destruction were destroyed. The defector was General Hussein Kamal. He was Saddam Hussein’s son-in-law. He said: “…he (Saddam Hussein) ordered the destruction of all chemical and biological weapons stocks and the missiles to deliver them…” The original article is here. Additionally, a former CIA analyst has come out saying they knew there was no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. That video is below.
This war was not about weapons of mass destruction; it was about oil. Iraq has a relatively large percentage of the world’s oil reserves within its borders. The American government and their oil company buddies wanted the money from these reserves. Therefore, they started a war to get control over them, much like what Bush’s father did in Kuwait during his presidency. If you would like to read more on this subject, I suggest some of Gary North’s great articles, two of which you can find here and here.
Conclusion
With all this in mind, was the cost of the wars in the Middle East worth it? Was it worth thousands of American lives and 4 trillion dollars? The point of the wars was not to get justice for 9/11, stop terrorism, or destroy weapons of mass destruction. The primary goal of the U.S. government was to get access to oil. They used terrorism as an excuse to start these wars and I believe they set up 9/11 primarily for the same purpose. The sacrifice of all the Americans who fought and funded this war were wasted. There was nothing just about it. In the end, it was simply another power grab for the U.S. government.
Oh, this is definitely interesting. Wouldn’t it be helpful if this truth got out to the American public?
