    Russian Intelligence Chief Says Al-Qaeda a Myth

    MosNews | March 21 2005

    On the pretext of fighting international terrorism the United States is trying to establish control over the world's richest oil reserves, Leonid Shebarshin, ex-chief of the Soviet Foreign Intelligence Service, who heads the Russian National Economic Security Service consulting company, said in an interview for the Vremya Novostei newspaper.

    Using the anti-terrorist cause as a cover the United States has occupied Afghanistan, Iraq and will soon move to impose their "democratic order" on the Greater Middle East, Shebarshin said. "The U.S. has usurped the right to attack any part of the globe on the pretext of fighting the terrorist threat," Shebarshin said.

    Referring to his meeting with an unnamed al-Qaeda expert at the Rand Corporation, a nonprofit research organization in the U.S., Shebarshin said: "We have agreed that [al-Qaeda] is not a group but a notion."

    "The fight against that all-mighty ubiquitous myth deliberately linked to Islam is of great advantage for the Americans as it targets the oil-rich Muslim regions," Shebarshin emphasized.

    With military bases in Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, Shebarshin said, the United States has already established control over the Caspian region -- one of the world's largest oil reservoirs.

    Consider for a moment the admission, on September 10, 2001, that the Pentagon has "lost" several trillion dollars over the course of a decade; roughly a third of its budget. Apparently it would prefer to be considered grossly negligent, than to admit to a deep black budget with no oversight.

    You're disgusting. Suggesting the US is Germany 1935 is an egregious overstatement and shows little regard for those unfortunate enough to actually suffer throught that period. You are right. This kind of slanted, exaggerated rhetoric is disgusting and obscures accurate discussion of the issue.

    For the record, the U.S. is Germany c. 1933.
