Did US sponsor the Islamic uprising and invasion against the secular reform-minded Afgan republic, the Chechen (Islamic) terrorists and the Kosovo (Islamic) terrorists/separtists? Here is something about that ... ............. During the US-sponsored Islamic uprising and invasion against the s ecular reform-minded Afghan republic in 1989, Washington teamed up with Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and other Muslim states (including Iran) to recruit, finance and arm tens of thousands of Muslim Fundamentalists from all over the Middle East, North Africa, Southern Caucasus and Southern Asia. Numerous “volunteers†from Chechnya fought in Afghanistan against the Afghan government and its supporters. The US achieved a pyrrhic victory in Afghanistan: it severely weakened the decaying Soviet state, but created tens of thousands of well-armed and trained fundamentalist network. While one sector of the Islamic forces went into opposition to the US in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere another group lent itself to US imperial strategy in the dismemberment of Yugoslavia and Russia. Thousands of Afghans fighters from the Fundamentalist armies went to Bosnia, where they were armed and financed by the US to fight against the Yugoslavs and in favor of a separatist state under US tutelage. Many writers on the left ignored the presence of these “volunteers†who were in the frontlines in ethnic purges of Serb enclaves and who detonated a terrorist bombing in a major market in Sarajevo to focus Western opinion on Serb “genocideâ€. Following the successful dismemberment of the major regions of Yugoslavia and the division of the new “mini-states†into US and European clients, the US moved toward adding a new regions to the empire. Washington and Europe backed the separatist Kosovo Liberation Army, first with financing, training and arms and later by declaring war against the remnant of Yugoslavia. Chechens participated with the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army, a widely recognized terrorist group that was classified as ‘criminal’ by Interpol prior to becoming a Washington client. The KLA was financed from several “internal sourcesâ€. In part it derived funds from its control over the drug routes from South Asia and the Middle East and in the large-scale trade in sex slaves. Later it raked in dollars and euros from the brothels in ‘liberated’ Kosovo. Above all it stole land, businesses and personal property from the expelled Serb population and stole billions of dollars from Western aid. Under Nato protection, the KLA ethnically cleansed over 200,000 residents who were not ethnic Albanians and became a de-facto client state living off of Western handouts and with all of its factories and mines shut. The US contracted Halliburton to build huge military bases in Southern Europe, Kosovo, Bosnia and Afghanistan all of which were US battlegrounds where Washington had sponsored separatist movements under the guise of ‘self-determination’. These are all now being converted into client states. Chechen separatists developed close working relations and terrorist skills working with the US and Western Europe in all of these conflicts and became the beneficiaries of US diplomatic, political and military support (via Saudi Arabia). Like the Kosovars, the Chechen leaders came out of a mafia-financed network, which uses nationalist rhetoric to cloak gangster rule. Throughout the 1990’s to the present, the West has backed the Chechen terrorists even as they draw heavily on support from Moscow gangsters and Islamic fundamentalists. Their leaders embrace a “rule or ruin†policy, refusing any status except to separate from Russia and become a US client. For the US, a victory for the Chechen terrorists would become a springboard for further dismemberment of Russia throughout the Caucasus. The Chechens combine the violent tactics they learned in controlling gangland activity in Russia with the terrorist practices of the Afghan war which targeted female rural school teachers and medical workers for beheading, throat slitting and the skinning of ‘Communist’ captives alive. ............. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=PET20040923&articleId=599 Making Friends with Gangsters/Terrorists .......?
Talking about dishonesty and double standards.... ....In response to the Chechen terrorist assaults, all the Western mass media continued to refer to them as “nationalistsâ€, “militantsâ€, “rebels†and as legitimate representatives of the Chechen people, even after they had massacred the school children. In the immediate aftermath, all the print and electronic media, from the BBC to the Guardian, to Le Monde, New York Times etc. criticized the Russians for failing to negotiate with the terrorists  even as the terrorists were murdering children and even after they had set off explosives maiming innocent kids. Nothing captures the profound media commitment to empire and backing for the dismemberment of Russia than its support of the terrorists in the midst of mass murder. The most primitive and craven support for terrorist demands in the midst of national grief and international outrage finally provoked the Russian state to react with indignation  and for some of the media to temporarily downplay its support of the terrorists and the breakup of Russia. The Russian media was no exception. Most of the privately owned media and commentators yearn for the return of the Yeltsin period of servility and enrichment and seek to discredit and destroy the Putin regime. Many of the billionaire oligarchs have close working relations with the Chechen leaders, especially Boris Berezovsky. The oligarchs and their pundits in the Russian media echo the Western political and media line of blaming the Russian security forces rather than the Chechen terrorists. Eyewitness survivors provide vivid accounts of bombing and killings prior to the Russian rescue operations  thus putting the lie to the Western cover-up for the terrorist action.......... http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=PET20040923&articleId=599
This goes even further and dirty as greed for $$$$$ and power can be: ...In England the British government provides asylum to a major Chechen terrorist leader sought by Russian authorities. In the United States, one of Chechnya’s separatist leaders, Ilyas Akhadov, was given asylum last August, largely through the efforts of “American Committee for Peace in Chechnya†chaired by Carter’s National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski and Reagan’s Secretary of State Alexander Haig  principle backers of the Fundamentalist invasion and destruction of the secular Republic of Afghanistan in the 1980’s. Brzezinski’s life-long obsession has been the total dismemberment of Russia  and its reduction to a feudal enclave controlled by the West via local oligarchs, warlords and gangsters  like those he backs in Chechnya. Brzezinski and his neo-conservative colleagues in the National Endowment for Democracy  the civilian face of the CIA  awarded this terrorist ‘spokesman’ a research grant, including a monthly allowance, medial insurance and travel expenses. Anglo-US governments and their “political fronts†provide sanctuary to the Chechen terrorist leaders as part of their strategy to sustain a war of attrition against Russia and especially Putin using the Chechen people as guinea pigs. The outcome of Chechen independence would most likely resemble Kosovo  a client state, with a big US military base, run by gangsters and warlords, trafficking in drugs, sex-slaves and military contraband  and deeply involved in fomenting separatist terror along Russia’s southern border  namely the Republic of Dagestan (which is multi-ethnic and close to the oil and gas rich Caspian Sea). The enemy of Russia is not an autonomous Chechen Republic but a terrorist gangster-run state, controlled by US and British security forces, aimed at further dismembering Russia and destroying Putin’s efforts to reform the Russian state. One of the possible unanticipated consequences however is that the terrorist slaughter and maiming of hundreds of children and parents in Beslan’s public school, may give Putin the chance to get rid of all the security officials left over from the Yeltsin regime. It may force Putin to create a new efficient security regime capable of breaking up the gangs and gangsters (Chechen and otherwise) who have financed the terrorists. More important he will have to realize that Anglo-US imperialism is not a partner against terror but an accomplice of terrorists in their mission to fragment Russia and destroy its public authority.... http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=PET20040923&articleId=599
The whole idea of Islamic countries was part Kissinger plan for making an Islamic green belt in front of Red danger (Soviet union). Soviet needed access to warm waters in Indian ocean for their navy and these Islamic countries were suppose to be the first line of defense if they decided to cross over and try to reach Persian Gulf or Indian Ocean. On that time, Islam was considered USA's best ideological friend because they were much more against the God less communists than typical Europeans.
