Chomsky on Faith-based Wars and 9/11

Noam Chomsky spoke out about 9/11 on Iranian TV in November 2010, saying the US had no evidence that al Qaeda had done the 9/11 attacks. He pointed out discrepancies between the declared reason for the invasion of Afghanistan and the actual performance of the war. The video shows that the Taliban and al Qaeda figures alleged by the USA to be the perpetrators of 9/11 were allowed to escape without interference from the US military. For the statement by FBI Director Muller that the FBI “believed” the 9/11 attacks were planned in Afghanistan, see Walter Pincus, ‘Mueller Outlines Origin, Funding of Sept. 11 Plot” Washington Post 6 June 2002 Chomsky had previously referred to this statement in his 2003 essay “Commentary: moral truisms, empirical evidence, and foreign policy” For Admiral Sir Michael Boyce’s announcement that the bombing would continue “until the people of the country themselves recognize that this is going to go on until they get their leadership changed” see “War Plan Iraq” by Rai and Chomsky p. 32 For Mr. Mueller’s statement 4/19/02 to the Commonwealth Club that “”In our investigation, we have not uncovered a single piece of paper either here in the United States or in the treasure trove of information that has turned up in Afghanistan and elsewhere that mentioned any aspect of the September 11 plot” see www.fbi.gov In 2005 CIA head Porter Goss told TIME magazine “I have an excellent idea of where [Osama bin Laden] is” but they’re not going after him. www …

(3/4) The Hate Mongers Among Us

Many of America’s most prominent political leaders were induced to comment on “International Burn A Koran Day”—a high profile provocation proposed by a Christian-Zionist preacher with a small congregation in a small town in Florida. When US General David Petraeus spoke out against the proposal, the issue immediately gained an international profile as did Pastor Terry Jones who quickly became an international celebrity. One need not dig deep to identify who may have advised General Petraeus to grant a global profile to a provocation consistent with Israeli goals for the region. In March, as head of Central Command, Petraeus offered testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee confirming facts that have long been obvious but are seldom mentioned: our “special relationship” with Israel and its oppressive occupation of Palestine undermine US interests in the Middle East and endanger American personnel. Read it for yourself: “The enduring hostilities between Israel and some of its neighbors present distinct challenges to our ability to advance our interests… Israeli-Palestinian tensions often flare into violence and large-scale armed confrontations. The conflict foments anti-American sentiment due to a perception of US favoritism for Israel. Arab anger over the Palestinian question limits the strength and depth of US partnerships with governments and peoples in the [region] and weakens the legitimacy of moderate regimes in the Arab world. Meanwhile, al-Qaeda and other …
