How we trained al-Qa’eda

[Gawain of Orkeny]

If you think about it - just how many highly sophisticated al-Qa’eda underground bunker complexes have they found in Afghanistan ?

None.

Why ? There bever was any.

Tora Bora?

And what about this

HIGH-RENT CAVES

Osama did some building for the infidels in Afghanistan as well. That was during the late 1980s. Under contract with the CIA, he and the family company built the multi-billion dollar "caves" (1) in which he is now, supposedly, hiding, thus causing the U.S. and Britain to bomb the Red Cross, the Red Crescent, and other strategic military installations:

"He brought in engineers from his father's company and heavy construction equipment to build roads and warehouses for the Mujaheddin. In 1986, he helped build a CIA-financed tunnel complex, to serve as a major arms storage depot, training facility and medical center for the Mujaheddin, deep under the mountains close to the Pakistan border."

No, you cannot compare what the German Army did in the East in 1941-45 with fictious abuses of Germans by "Jewish bankers". There's no equivalence between that kind of BS and a country reaping the whirlwind of a war it started.

They are not fictitious abuses! Jews are people, just like you and me, and they will on occasion behave badly. So are they not "reaping the whirlwind" of overcharging someone on their chequeing account? Sounds foolish? That's because it is, just as foolish as saying that some housewife in Prussia deserves to get gang-raped because her neighbour across the way voted for Hitler.

I don't hold all Jews responsible for what some mean Jew might have done, way back when, and by the same principle I do not hold all Germans responsible for what was done by other Germans. Personal accountability, not racially responsible!

Tora Bora?

And what about this

They found this did they ?



Or not

A few weeks after the "Meet the Press" interview US special forces and their Afghan allies occupied Tora Bora. They painstakingly searched Gree Khil mountain and the surrounding area. They found no underground fortress, no hydro-electric power plant, no 2000 room hotel, no ant farm, no iron doors, no ventilating shafts. The troglodyte Lair of Bin Laden turned out to be mythic.
