The Arab Puppets
If American documents affirmed that an Arab king, whose country was named after him, used to get a salary of $7,966.50 (U.S.) from Britain's Secret Intelligence Service during the establishment of his country, and if those same documents stated that another Arab king used to receive $1 million a year in exchange for providing services to the CIA and Israeli Intelligence, how would you feel about it?
Ever since the fateful moment when American President Roosevelt told General Halifax, the British ambassador to the U.S. at the time, "Persian oil … is yours. We share the oil of Iraq and Kuwait. As for Saudi Arabian oil, it’s ours," the Arab region has become a farm for American policies. And if you read Robert Dreyfuss' recently published book, "Devil's Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam," you will discover that the puppeteers in the White House hold the strings of their Arab-king puppets at all times, even while asleep in their beds.
In January 1980, America's national security advisor Brzezinski visited Egypt to mobilize Arab support for jihad. A few weeks following his visit, Anwar al-Sadat [president of Egypt in 1980] agreed to Egypt's complete participation in jihad and gave consent to American forces to use Egypt as an air base where they could supply the participants with shipments of arms. He also launched the process of recruitment, training and arming activists of the Islamic group to fight the battle. For a while, Sadat and his government were active participants in the recruitment and administration of a secret number of zealots who were being prepared to fight against the Soviets [in Afghanistan]. The Egyptian planes of shipments took off from Qina and Aswan to transfer continuous supplies to the jihad bases in Pakistan.
John Cooley, the head of the CIA branch in Pakistan during the war, said, "Egypt opened its warehouses to supply the mission of Jihad."* Egypt and other countries, as Dreyfuss mentions in his book, provided more than just arms. A number of Islamic states had decided it would be sagacious to send Islamic jihadists to the Afghan war, with the intention of killing two birds with one stone: First, they would satisfy the U.S.; second, they would get rid of a thorn in their side. Sadat may have felt, as most of the other leaders did, that these jihadists would be killed in the war. By the end of 1980, however, the U.S. had sent instructors from the United States Army Special Forces division to teach the Egyptians responsible for training Egyptian volunteers participating in jihad in Afghanistan.
The same scene is now being repeated as the U.S. recruits the Arab policy for the benefit of Israel, which subsequently benefits the U.S. This recruitment is clear, and there is no misunderstanding or masking with regards to the orders and instructions according to which everyone is working: first, a settlement of the Palestinian cause, achieved by giving up rights in exchange for fractions of land (conservative Arabs will accept less than 90 percent of the West Bank and Gaza — which constitutes 22 percent of the remains of Arab Palestine — in exchange for a flag, anthem and treatment of Mohammed Dahlan in the hospitals of Tel Aviv); second, a strike on Iran to fracture the bones of its nuclear project.
In any case, I don't believe that any Arab official is now receiving a single cent from the CIA or otherwise. What they obtained from looting the riches of their people is already enough for them to pay the CIA back, as well as spend on the CIA's projects and plans in the region.
