Here’s
Why We Attacked America
When
Barack Obama was still in office, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, one of the
perpetrators of the 9/11 terror attacks, penned a letter to him.
Though a judge recently ruled that letter could be sent to the White
House before the outgoing president left office, the contents were to
be withheld from the public until a month later — until after
President Trump had assumed power.
This
week, the Miami Herald obtained and published the contents of the
18-page letter, originally written in 2015 and titled “LETTER FROM
THE CAPTIVE MUJAHID KHALID SHAIKH MOHAMMAD TO THE HEAD OF THE SNAKE,
BARACK OBAMA, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE
COUNTRY OF OPPRESSION AND TYRANNY.” It contains the Kuwait-born
Pakistani terrorist’s insights into why 9/11 occurred, as well as
surprisingly accurate assessments of American politics.
One
of the main reasons for 9/11, according to Mohammed, is one
terrorists have referenced before: American foreign policy. His
explanation is rooted both in history and in current affairs.
“The
American people were misled by the Johnson administration and the
Pentagon into waging a war in Vietnam that cost 58,000 U.S. lives and
millions of Vietnamese lives and ultimately led to a humiliating
defeat,” he writes, correctly referencing Johnson’s false
flag attack in the Gulf of Tonkin, which the Democratic president
used to push the U.S. into a prolonged, messy, and ultimately failed
war.
Mohammed
also focused on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and the Muslim
world specifically, providing a long list of reasons why the “U.S.
reaped what it sowed on 9/11.” One of those grievances was the
U.S. government and CIA’s scheme to back and support “the
Indonesian dictator Suharto when his army-led massacres slaughtered
hundreds of thousands of landless farmers,” though his examples
span the globe.
He
cites America’s notorious desire for oil, referencing when the U.S.
built “military bases in the Arabian Peninsula in Tabuk,
Dhahran, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and U.A.E – which is prohibited by
Sharia laws – to secure a non-stop flood of oil to [their] country
at the cheapest price.” He argues this was “to support the
dictatorial rule of monarchial families and oppressive, corrupt,
dynastic regimes and looting the wealth of the Muslim Ummah
population; and to accomplish [U.S.] military objectives there.”
He
references the CIA’s 1953 coup in Iran — conducted in conjunction
with their British intelligence counterparts — to overthrow the
country’s democratically elected leader and empower the “Shah
of Iran and Safak, the brutal Iranian intelligence agency, for 40
years.”
Discussing
Iraq in the 1990s, he references “when Anglo-Saxon crusaders
imposed sanctions against the Iraqi people in a manner of collective
punishment that resulted in the death of half a million civilians.”
He later addresses former U.N. ambassador Madeleine Albright’s
claim that the deaths of half a million children were “worth
it.”

Mohammed
concludes:
“If
your government and public won’t tolerate 9/11, then how can you
ask Muslims to tolerate your 60 years of crimes in Palestine,
Lebanon, the Arabian Peninsula and the whole Muslim World?”
As
former congressman and longtime non-interventionist Dr. Ron Paul
warned in 1998 — long before 9/11:
“Far
too often, the bombing of declared (or concocted) enemies, whether
it’s the North Vietnamese, the Iraqis, the Libyans, the Sudanese,
the Albanians, or the Afghans, produces precisely the opposite effect
to what is sought. It kills innocent people, creates more hatred
toward America, unifies and stimulates the growth of the extremist
Islamic movement and makes them more determined than ever to strike
back with their weapon of choice – terror.”
