The CIA’s “Founding” of Al Qaeda Documented. DOCUMENTED! Le Nouvel Observateur’s Interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski Originally published 1.
January 1. 99. 8Translated by Jean Martineau(Editor’s Note: The following article and interview have been suppressed by Google, now a “black- ops” contractor. It is important for three reasons. First, it flatly contradicts the official US justification for giving billions of dollars to the mujahedeen in Afghanistan in the 1.
US and Saudi Arabia were defending so- called freedom fighters against Soviet aggression.“Not so,” says Brzezinski. He confirms what opponents have charged: that the US began covert sponsorship of Muslim extremists five months *before* the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. He says that after President Carter authorized the covert action: “I explained to the president that this support would in my opinion lead to a military intervention by the Soviets.” Second, the interview is instructive concerning so- called “conspiracy theory.” To be sure, there are plenty of nutty theories out there. And of course, there are plenty of just plain wrong theories.
But as Brzezinski demonstrates, the US foreign policy establishment did, for want of a better word, conspire. Even as they claimed to oppose Muslim extremism, they knowingly fomented it *as a weapon of policy.* And they lied about what they were doing, pretending they were helping freedom fighters resist an invasion. In other words, deceit on two levels. One must ask oneself: if the US foreign policy Establishment used Muslim extremism as a weapon once, how can one argue *in principle* that they would not use it again? We say they *have* used it again; that they have used it continuously; and that we are seeing the fruits of this policy.

S. Information Agency. Congress appropriated $5. In making the money available, Congress all but instructed USIA to consider an organization like Friends of Afghanistan, a new group whose board includes former Carter administration national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, known for hard- line anti- Soviet views. USIA has solicited proposals, due Sept. Friends of Afghanistan includes other American foreign policy luminaries such as Lawrence Eagleburger, a former undersecretary of state, and Dr. Zalmay Khalilzad, a Columbia University political science professor and some- time paid adviser to the State Department on Afghanistan.
Afghan rebels, called the Mujahedeen, have been battling 1. Soviet troops who have occupied the rugged, mountainous country since December 1. The Associated Press referred to Khalilzad as a “some- time paid adviser to the State Department on Afghanistan.” This was in the late summer of 1.
The relevant message was delivered to the rebels in the Pakistani city of Peshawar last week by Zalmay Khalilzad, a special adviser on Afghanistan to under secretary of state Michael H.

Because they graphically demonstrated that the media was lying when it claimed that the Bosnian Government was moderate and multiculturalist and so on.
The white costumes these troops are wearing are the uniforms of Middle Eastern mujahedeen, not Yugoslav Muslims. Because ordinary people would never support such a policy, it was sold to the public as support for freedom fighters (Afghanistan) or as defense of abused Muslims (Bosnia.)By the late 1. Brzezinski’s prot. Zalmay Khalilzad, was the top strategist of the Afghan war. Under the administration of Bush, Sr., Khalilzad was in charge of strategy at the Pentagon. He then personally chose the Afghan government.
Now he’s Ambassador and Special Envoy to Afghanistan. Even while Khalilzad was in charge of Afghanistan he was also the key man on the ground before, during and after the invasion of Iraq. He was in charge of political relations with Iraqi exile politicians and the Iranian and Saudi governments up until the fall 2. A crucial period. GEORGIAHis area of official responsibility included Georgia during the period when the US was intensifying the financing and training of the Georgian military.
Oops – did I say rzezinski? Sorry; I meant Zalmay Khalilzad. At that time you were president Carters security advisor; thus you played a key role in this affair. Do you confirm this statement? Zbigniew Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version, the CIA’s support for the Mujahideen began in 1. But the reality, which was kept secret until today, is completely different: Actually it was on 3 July 1.
Carter signed the first directive for the secret support of the opposition against the pro- Soviet regime in Kabul. And on the same day I wrote a note, in which I explained to the president that this support would in my opinion lead to a military intervention by the Soviets. Le Nouvel Observateur: Despite this risk you were a supporter of this covert action? But perhaps you expected the Soviets to enter this war and tried to provoke it? Zbigniew Brzezinski: It’s not exactly like that. We didn’t push the Russians to intervene but we knowingly increased the probability that they would do it.
Le Nouvel Observateur: When the Soviets justified their intervention with the statement that they were fighting against a secret US interference in Afghanistan, nobody believed them. Nevertheless there was a core of truth to this? Zbigniew Brzezinski: Regret what? This secret operation was an excellent idea.
It lured the Russians into the Afghan trap, and you would like me to regret that? On the day when the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote president Carter, in essence: “We now have the opportunity to provide the USSR with their Viet Nam war.” Indeed for ten years Moscow had to conduct a war that was intolerable for the regime, a conflict which involved the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet Empire. Le Nouvel Observateur: And also, don’t you regret having helped future terrorists, having given them weapons and advice?
Zbigniew Brzezinski: What is most important for world history? The Taliban or the fall of the Soviet Empire? Some Islamic hotheads or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war? Le Nouvel Observateur: “Some hotheads?” But it has been said time and time again: today Islamic fundamentalism represents a world- wide threat! It’s said that the West has a global policy regarding Islam.
That’s hogwash: there is no global Islam. Let’s look at Islam in a rational and not a demagogic or emotional way. It is the first world religion with 1. But what is there in common between fundamentalist Saudi Arabia, moderate Morocco, militaristic Pakistan, pro- Western Egypt and secularized Central Asia? Nothing more than that which connects the Christian countries.
