The interventionists and nation-builders take their marching orders from al Qaeda.
Osama bin Laden has been playing them like a fiddle. Bin Laden’s "briar patch" strategy was to provoke the United States into an overreaction. Al Qaeda was a small rabble that had been rejected in Algeria and Egypt and had a difficult time getting at American targets (the "far enemy"). The United States crashing around the Middle East like a bull in a China shop plays right into bin Laden’s hands:
- Increases global Anti-Americanism
- Increases terrorist recruitment
- Increases the spread of al Qaeda cells (Iraq, North Africa)
- Increases American targets, serving up small units of US soldiers to al Qaeda on a platter
The interventionists’ policies fuel, market, and fund the growth of terrorism.
The CIA considered that bin Laden's 2004 video might have been reverse psychology to re-elect Bush and guarantee continued war:
CIA analysts also felt that bin-Laden might have recognized how Bush’s policies – including the Guantanamo prison camp, the Abu Ghraib scandal and the endless bloodshed in Iraq – were serving al-Qaeda’s strategic goals for recruiting a new generation of jihadists. (Parry)
Chief of the CIA Osama bin Laden unit Michael Scheuer confirms that the adminstration's current interventionist policy is HELPING al Qaeda:
It is time to pull the rug out from under bin Laden.
Ron Paul is Osama bin Laden's worst nightmare.
Captain Ron Paul's non-interventionist foreign policy foils bin Laden’s strategy and reduces the terrorist threat to America.
