How US warmongers exploited the 9/11 terrorist attacks
By Norm Dixon
[This article was first published on
September 11, 2002, on the first anniversary of the September 11, 2001,
terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. Its observations remain
relevant to this day.]
* * *
In the week before the first anniversary of the devastating September 11, 2001,
terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, TV networks aired a seemingly
never-ending string of ``special events'' featuring ``exclusive'' or ``never
before seen'' footage of the collapse of the twin towers of the World Trade
Center (WTC) and its aftermath. People around the world again experienced the
horror, anger and tragedy of that terrible day, when almost 3000 working people
were murdered.
Culminating on the anniversary of the day itself, thousands of journalists and
TV presenters from across the globe will converge at ``ground zero'' in New
York for ``remembrance and reflection''. Solemn ceremonies will be telecast and
patriotic speeches by top US politicians broadcast, restating Washington's
determination to pursue its ``war on terrorism''.
But by the end of the 9/11 anniversary hoopla, after the thousands of hours of
TV time and the column-kilometres published in the world's newspapers and
magazines, you can be sure that the most glaring aspect of the post-9/11 period
will have remained unmentionable by all but the most honest commentators: that
Washington's ``war on terrorism'' is a cynical fraud.
The most repeated 9/11 media cliche is that on that day ``the world changed''.
However, few commentators have bothered to explain how.
September
11 did mark a change in the US and world politics -- just how permanent
remains to be seen. On that day, the US rulers realised that those
awful acts of terrorism provided them with a golden opportunity to
achieve the US capitalist ruling class' long-held objective of world
domination -- the ``American century'' it predicted was at hand at the
end of World War II.
Top officials in President George Bush junior's administration seized that
opportunity, coldly calculating that the traumatised US people would now
support significant military interventions by US ground troops abroad, in the
guise of fighting ``terrorism'', even if there was a risk of large numbers of
US casualties -- something they have refused to accept since the end of the
Vietnam War in 1975.
Before September 11, Washington had long labelled governments and political
movements it opposed as ``terrorists''. The US State Department each year
publishes a list of countries that ``support terrorism''; for years it has
included Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan, North Korea and Cuba. Until September
11, that was not enough to convince the US people to support sustained military
operations against them.
Almost as soon as the smoke from the rubble of the WTC had cleared, the Bush
administration moved to take the focus of the ``war on terrorism'' from the
alleged perpetrators of the 9/11 atrocities -- Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda
network of religious reactionaries -- to US-defined ``terrorism'' and ``evil''
in general.
``From
this day forward'', Bush told Congress on September 20, 2001, ``any
nation that continues to harbour or support terrorism will be regarded
as a hostile regime''. The ``first war of the 21st century'' will not
end, he declared, ``until every terrorist group of global reach has
been found, stopped and defeated''.
The bombing of Afghanistan began on October 7, 2001. On November 21, Bush
outlined what has become known as the ``Bush doctrine'': ``Afghanistan is just
the beginning of the war against terror. There are other terrorists who
threaten America and our friends, and there are other nations willing to
sponsor them. We will not be secure as a nation until all these threats are
defeated. Across the world, and across the years, we will fight these evil
ones, and we will win.
``America has a message for the nations of the world: if you harbour
terrorists, you're terrorists; if you train or arm a terrorist, you are a
terrorist; if you feed or fund a terrorist, you're a terrorist, and you will be
held accountable by the United States and our friends.''
On November 26, with Iraq now in his cross-hairs, Bush expanded the scope of
the ``war on terrorism'' further when he stated, ``If they develop weapons of
mass destruction that will be used to terrorise nations, they will be held
accountable''.
The transformation was complete with Bush's January 29, 2002, State of the
Union speech. The next stage of Washington's ``war on terrorism'' was
officially delinked from the specific events of 9/11. Bush did not even mention
bin Laden or al Qaeda. Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had suddenly taken the
elusive Bin Laden's place as public enemy number one.
The ``axis of evil'' that now topped Washington's hit-list -- Iraq, Iran and
North Korea -- has no proven links with al Qaeda, bin Laden or the 9/11
attacks. Nor do three of the four organisations Bush cited by name -- Hamas,
Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah -- have a connection with al Qaeda; their ``crime''
was to oppose Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine.
Bush also bluntly stated that the US had the right to unilaterally launch
military action against ``terrorists'' inside any country, and launch
preemptive military strikes against states that Washington suspected of
developing chemical, biological or nuclear weapons: ``Some governments will be
timid in the face of terror. And make no mistake about it, if they do not act,
America will.''
Bush
reminded the world that US vengeance has no geographic limits. ``Our
armed forces [in Afghanistan] have delivered a message now clear to
every enemy of the United States: even 7000 miles away, across oceans
and continents, on mountain tops and in caves, you will not escape the
justice of this nation'', he warned.
In less than six months, Bush's ``war on terrorism'' had morphed seamlessly
from action directed at the alleged perpetrators and backers of the 9/11 mass
murders into a war against any Third World state or political movement that
Washington considers too independent, too defiant or a hurdle to the goal of US
global hegemony.
Bush's State of the Union speech was the formal announcement that Washington is
unashamedly seeking world domination. As the February 1, 2002, New York Times
editorial noted: ``The application of power and intimidation has returned to
the forefront of American foreign policy. Not since America's humiliating
withdrawal from Vietnam more than a quarter-century ago has US foreign policy
relied so heavily on non-nuclear military force, or the threat of it, to defend
American interests around the world.''
Since the end of World War II, the US ruling class' overarching strategic goal
has been the maintenance of overwhelming military, economic and political
dominance and the prevention of the emergence of other powers -- great or
regional -- that could challenge that position. This goal was dubbed the
``American century'' at the end of World War II.
However, Washington's expectations of total world domination were frustrated
for nearly 50 years by the industrial and military strength of the Soviet Union
and the national liberation struggles, beginning with the victory of the
Chinese revolution in 1949 and the Cuban revolution in 1959, followed by the
wave of successful independence struggles in Africa and Asia throughout the
1960s that culminated in the historic defeat of US forces in Vietnam in 1975.
Washington's defeat in Vietnam was a political defeat as well as a military
one. Over time, with the assistance of a growing anti-war movement, the US
people had come to realise that the US rulers had cynically lied when they
proclaimed the bloody war against the people of Vietnam as a fight for
democracy -- at the cost of 50,000 young US soldiers' lives and the deaths of
millions of Vietnamese -- when in fact it was an unjust, imperialist war of
aggression.
The ``Vietnam syndrome'' was born, and for more than 25 years, it made it
politically impossible for Washington to deploy large numbers of ground troops
in ``hot'' wars overseas.
Militarily and politically hamstrung by the Vietnam syndrome, US imperialism
suffered further setbacks in the late 1970s with the victories of the
independence struggles in Angola and Mozambique, a revolution in Ethiopia in
1977, the 1978 Afghan revolution, and the revolutionary processes begun in
Nicaragua and Grenada in 1979.
The overthrow of the pro-US Shah of Iran in 1979 was also a serious threat to
US imperialism's hold on the strategic oil-rich Persian Gulf.
Under President Ronald Reagan, who came to power in 1980, the US ruling class
launched a counter-attack against what it dishonestly dubbed ``Soviet
expansionism''. Washington massively funded and armed counter-revolutionary
bandits and terrorists, such as RENAMO in Mozambique, UNITA in Angola, the
contras in Nicaragua and the mujaheddin in Afghanistan. Reagan also boosted US
support to the apartheid regime in South Africa and dictatorial regimes like
those in Pakistan, Indonesia and Chile.
However, Reagan's strategy was also specifically engineered to avoid putting US
troops in harm's way. When Reagan ordered US troops to invade Grenada in 1983
(and when George Bush senior ordered the invasion of Panama in 1989), the
operation relied on massive firepower before elite US troops entered and then
left as quickly as possible.
However, Reagan massively boosted US war spending across the board, including
on the ``star wars'' missile defence system. The goal of this fanciful project
was to achieve the ability to launch a first-strike nuclear attack on the USSR
without fear of retaliation. Attempts to match these massive military
expenditures played a role in ``bleeding'' the Soviet Union, hastening its
collapse.
With the demise of the USSR in 1991, the US rulers hoped that the ``American
century'' was again on the horizon. George Bush senior hailed the US victory
over Iraq in the 1990-91 Gulf War as also marking the ``end of the Vietnam
syndrome'' and declared that Washington would now oversee a ``New World
Order''.
However, he spoke too soon. Bush senior had been not prepared to test the
Vietnam syndrome. The US military had relied on the use of its overwhelming air
superiority and its massive technological edge to avoid significant ground
operations. Fear of the Vietnam syndrome in part deterred Bush from sending US
troops into Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein.
Throughout the 1990s, this was the pattern of US military operations. The
Vietnam syndrome was shown to be alive and kicking with the public outcry in
the US to the deaths of 18 soldiers during Washington's ``humanitarian''
intervention in Somalia.
The Bush senior and the Clinton administrations clothed their military actions
in the guise of defending human rights, halting ``ethnic cleansing'' or
providing humanitarian assistance. They were conducted under the cover of
regional or UN ``peacekeeping'' operations and were generally conditional on
winning multilateral endorsement.
The American people's hopes that the end of the Cold War would result in much
reduced military spending and a ``peace dividend'' also frustrated US ruling
class demands for the maintenance of military spending at Cold War levels.
With 9/11, the dominant wing in Bush junior's administration clearly believes
the Vietnam syndrome has finally been put to rest.
The claim that the attacks on the WTC ``changed the world'' are part of a myth
that is being carefully crafted: that the launch of the ``war on terrorism''
was simply a response to the terrible events of one day.
This myth-making is exemplified by a melodramatic September 5, 2002, article by
Associated Press White House correspondent Ron Fournier: ``In a cramped nuclear
shelter deep beneath the White House, President Bush stared across a spare
wooden table and told his national security team, `Get the troops ready'.
Twelve hours after the terrorist strikes, moments after his nationally
televised address, Bush was preparing for a war that would transform and define
his presidency -- `This is a time for self defence', he told his war council.
`This is our time'.''
The truth is more straightforward. In the 12 months following 9/11, Bush
junior's administration cynically seized upon and exploited the terror attacks
to launch a drive to achieve the US ruling class dream of an ``American
century'' or ``New World Order'' -- an unchallenged global US military,
political and economic empire.
The power behind the throne of George Bush junior's regime is vice president
Dick Cheney and a warmongering team made up of veterans of the Reagan and Bush
senior administrations.
Throughout the 1990s, these ``hawks'' organised for their return to power,
formulated their programs for unchallenged US hegemony and advocated the
unbridled use of US military power through a network of tightly interlocked
right-wing ruling-class think-tanks -- the Project for the New American Century
(PNAC), the American Enterprise Institute, Americans for Victory over Terrorism
and the Center for Security Policy. The Murdoch-owned Weekly Standard and the
editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal championed their views (and continue
to do so).
The lessons of the Bush senior and Clinton administration, the new
``centurions'' constantly claimed, was that US power should not be constrained
by attempts to balance US interests with those of its European or other allies.
Alliances, international organisations or multilateral treaties must not get in
the way of the unfettered exercise of US military or economic power.
Other key planks pushed by the hawks have been unconditional military and
political support for Israel -- Washington's key ally in the Middle East -- and
implacable opposition to any regimes in that region that could pose a threat to
US domination of the strategic, oil-rich Persian Gulf. As a result, a trademark
of the centurions has been extreme hostility towards the regimes in Iraq, Iran,
Syria, Libya and even Lebanon, as well as cheering every move made by Tel Aviv
to crush the national liberation movement in occupied Palestine.
In 1997, the PNAC was established to promote ``American global leadership''.
Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld (now US defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (now deputy
defence secretary) and Jeb Bush (Bush junior's brother) were signatories to the
PNAC's founding ``statement of principle''. It stated bluntly:
``[Conservatives] seem to have forgotten the essential elements of the Reagan
administration's success: a military that is strong and ready to meet both
present and future challenges; a foreign policy that boldly and purposely
promotes American principles abroad; and a national leadership that accepts the
United States' global responsibilities.
``America has a role in maintaining peace and security in Europe, Asia and the
Middle East. If we shirk our responsibilities, we invite challenges to our
fundamental interests. The history of the 20th century should have taught us
that it is important to shape circumstances before crises emerge, and to meet
threats before they become dire. The history of this century should have taught
us to embrace the cause of American leadership.''
The PNAC argued that the US must ``increase defense spending significantly''
and ``modernize our armed forces -- if we are to carry out our global
responsibilities today'' ; ``strengthen our ties to democratic allies and to
challenge regimes hostile to our interests and values''; ``promote the cause of
political and economic freedom abroad''; and ``accept responsibility for
America's unique role in preserving and extending an international order
friendly to our security, our prosperity, and our principles''.
``Such a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity may not be
fashionable today'', the PNAC conceded. ``But it is necessary if the United
States is to build on the successes of this past century and to ensure our
security and our greatness in the next.''
In September 2000, the PNAC fleshed out its imperial vision with the release of
a report, Rebuilding America's defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a
New Century. The project's participants included Wolfowitz, Lewis Libby (who
became Cheney's chief of staff) and Weekly Standard editor William Kristol.
The report's introduction noted that the US ``is the world's only superpower,
combining preeminent military power, global technological leadership and the
world's largest economy... At present the US faces no global rival. America's
grand strategy should aim to preserve and extend this advantageous position as
far into the future as possible''. To preserve this ``desirable strategic
situation'', the report stated, the US ``requires a globally preeminent
military capability both today and in the future''.
The report's authors admitted that they had built upon the 1992 draft of the
Pentagon's Defense Planning Guidance (DPG), which was prepared for Cheney, who
was then US defence secretary in the Bush senior administration, Wolfowitz and
Libby.
This document stated bluntly that the US must continue to ``discourage ...
advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or ... even
aspiring to a larger regional or global role ... [To achieve this, the US] must
retain the preeminent responsibility for addressing ... those wrongs which
threaten not only our interests, but those of our allies or friends, or which
seriously unsettle international relations.''
This was an admission that the massive build-up of US military might in Europe,
Asia and the Middle East after 1945 was not simply directed at containing
``Soviet expansionism'', crushing Third World revolutions and controlling
natural resources such as Middle Eastern oil -- as vital to US interests as
they were. It was also aimed at enmeshing its potential capitalist rivals --
Britain, France, Germany and Japan -- within US-dominated military alliances
designed to prevent them developing independent armed forces.
The PNAC report endorsed the DPG's ``blueprint for maintaining US preeminence,
precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international
security order in line with American principles and interests... The basic
tenets of the DPG, in our judgment, remain sound.''
The PNAC report recommended that the US turn around the 1990s ``decade of
defence neglect'' and boost war spending to a minimum of 3.5-3.8% of GDP (up
from around 3%) by adding US$15 billion to US$20 billion annually; increase the
numbers of active-duty military personnel from 1.4 million to 1.6 million; and
... reposition US forces ... by shifting permanently based forces to southeast
Europe [the Balkans] and Southeast Asia [preferably the Philippines and/or
Australia], and by changing naval deployment patterns to reflect growing US
strategic concerns in East Asia [meaning the `containment' of China and the
`defence' of Taiwan]''.
The
report also urged Washington to develop the capability to ``fight and
win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars'' and at the same time
``perform the `constabulary' duties associated with shaping the
security environment in critical regions''; maintain ``nuclear
strategic superiority'' by developing smaller ``bunker-buster'' nuclear
weapons and resuming nuclear testing; develop the ``star wars'' global
``missile defence system''; and ``control the new `international
commons' of space and `cyberspace' and pave the way for the creation of
a new military service -- US Space Forces -- with the mission of space
control.''[!]
As all the above indicates, the Cheney-Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz
cabal had had a long-standing program for the expansion of US hegemony.
What it lacked was the ``trigger'' to implement it or the existence of
a serious enough ``threat'' that would convince the US people to
abandon their desire for a ``peace dividend'' and their opposition to
US war casualties abroad.
Which is why the 9/11 attacks were a godsend for the Bush gang. Washington
immediately recognised the opportunity with which it was presented. As Bush
junior's national security adviser Condoleezza Rice admitted: ``I really think
this period is analogous to 1945 to 1947 in that the events ... started
shifting the tectonic plates in international politics. And it's important to
try to seize on that and position American interests and institutions before
they harden again.''
Since 9/11, Bush's new centurions fast-tracked the implementation of their
agenda in case the ``window of opportunity'' closed. They won a massive
increases in military spending of US$48 billion, to US$379.3 billion, in
2002-2003. Adding non-Pentagon military spending, mostly by the energy
department for the nuclear weapons program, total military spending was
US$396.1 billion.
A further US$38 billion was spent on ``homeland defence'' -- mainly for the
plethora of US police agencies. Washington has projected that the war budget
will steadily increase to more that US$451 billion by 2007, a 30% increase.
Washington has signalled -- with its repudiation of the Kyoto Protocol on
greenhouse gas emissions, the war crimes provisions of the International
Criminal Court and the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty -- that US military,
economic and political power will not be subject to any form of international
constraint.
It has been revealed that the US has plans to use nuclear weapons against
non-nuclear states under guise of eliminating the threat of ``weapons of mass
destruction''. There have also been reports that US special forces will soon be
authorised to kill or capture ``terrorists'' anywhere in the world, whenever
the opportunity arises, without having to obtain permission from the relevant
government.
As a result of its war to overthrow the Taliban, Washington has secured a
permanent military bases and stationed tens of thousands of troops for the
first time in the increasingly strategic Central Asian region. From these
bases, the US can more easily ``contain'' Russia and China, control the
emerging oil and gas resources of the Caspian Sea region, strengthen its hold
over the Persian Gulf and increase further its military stranglehold on most of
the world's vital energy resources.
Using the cover of the ``war on terrorism'', Washington has increased or
resumed military funding for notoriously repressive regimes -- including as
Yemen, Georgia, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Colombia and the former
Soviet Central Asian republics -- as well as sending thousands of troops and
military advisers to help them crush anti-government movements.
Washington has given the green light for Russia to continue its brutal campaign
against the Chechen freedom struggle and the Chinese government's repression of
separatists in Xinjiang.
The
September 11 attacks and the subsequent US ``war on terrorism''
presented the US ruling-class warmongers with their biggest opportunity
yet to ``cure'' the Vietnam syndrome.

Makers' Aims for the Conflict and Postwar Rule of Iraq

Washington,
DC, September 22, 2010 - Following instructions from President George
W. Bush to develop an updated war plan for Iraq, Defense Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld ordered CENTCOM Commander Gen. Tommy Franks in November
2001 to initiate planning for the "decapitation" of the Iraqi government
and the empowerment of a "Provisional Government" to take its place.
Talking
points for the Rumsfeld-Franks meeting on November 27, 2001, released
through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), confirm that policy
makers were already looking for ways to justify invading Iraq - as
indicated by Rumsfeld's first point, "Focus on WMD."
This
document shows that Pentagon policy makers cited early U.S. experience
in Afghanistan to justify planning for Iraq's post-invasion governance
in order to achieve their strategic objectives: "Unlike in Afghanistan,
important to have ideas in advance about who would rule afterwards."
Rumsfeld's
notes were prepared in close consultation with senior DOD officials
Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith. Among other insights, the materials
posted today by the National Security Archive shed light on the intense
focus on Iraq by high-level Bush administration officials long before
the attacks of 9/11, and Washington's confidence in perception
management as a successful strategy for overcoming public and allied
resistance to its plans.
This compilation further shows:
* The preliminary strategy Rumsfeld imparted to Franks while directing him to
develop a new war plan for Iraq
*
Secretary of State Powell's awareness, three days into a new
administration, that Iraq "regime change" would be a principal focus of
the Bush presidency
* Administration determination to exploit
the perceived propaganda value of intercepted aluminum tubes - falsely
identified as nuclear related - before completion of even a preliminary
determination of their end use
* The difficulty of winning
European support for attacking Iraq (except that of British Prime
Minister Tony Blair) without real evidence that Baghdad was implicated
in 9/11
* The State Department's analytical unit observing that a
decision by Tony Blair to join a U.S. war on Iraq "could bring a
radicalization of British Muslims, the great majority of whom opposed
the September 11 attacks but are increasingly restive about what they
see as an anti-Islamic campaign"
* Pentagon interest in the
perception of an Iraq invasion as a "just war" and State Department
insights into the improbability of that outcome
Rumsfeld's
instructions to Franks included the establishment and funding of a
provisional government as a significant element of U.S. invasion
strategy. In the end the Pentagon changed course and instead ruled
post-invasion Iraq directly, first through the short-lived Office of
Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance and then through Paul Bremer
and the Coalition Provisional Authority.
Today's posting is the
first of a three-part series of electronic briefing books detailing the
run-up to Operation Iraqi Freedom. This edition covers the critical
first year of George W. Bush's presidency. The following two - featuring
newly available British government documents - will treat the question
of whether the Bush administration ever seriously considered alternative
strategies for Iraq and how the U.S. and Great Britain attempted to
sell the war strategy to the world.
In addition to an analytical
essay and the documents, today's EBB includes two research aids - a
detailed timeline and an illuminating collection of quotations from key
individuals and government documents.

CIA USA ,,, CIA USA ,,, CIA USA, this was the slogan that the

activities via its criminal espionage agency CIA in additional to
various means thats including puppets regimes. In recent move into same
terror-ism activities, America represent real danger on the world
safety, is propelling another puppet regime of the south Korea into
staging a tension on the region.
"The south Korean military warmongers has been busy with madcap
large-scale air battle ex-ercises with U.S. forces in the air over the
western part of the Korean Peninsula since October 15"
"exercises with the U.S. imperialists right after their provocative
PSI exercises came to a clo-se. This is an intolerable provocation to
the DPRK and a blatant challenge to the desire of the Koreans to see the
inter-Korean relations improved and the need of the times."
"The puppet military is spearheading the exercises now under way in
