The Strategy Behind Al Qaeda

OVERVIEW

BUSH'S WAR POLICY FAILED AMERICA by:

(A) Allowing the high command of Al Qaeda's global insurgency the 7-year boon of a Pakistani safe haven,

(B) Exhausting America's financial, military and ideological resources on a war in Iraq that has only increased the oil revenues, terrorist recruitment and ideological appeal fueling Al Qaeda's war against American imperialism,

(C) Blocking the necessary platform for American victory: a U.S.-led "Manhattan- Project" initiative to resolve the global energy crisis through sustainable uses of cheap, renewable energy sources.

BIN LADEN'S STRATEGY

Goals

  • Overarching:  AL QAEDA HAS ENDEAVORED TO PORTRAY ITS WAR ON AMERICA AS A DEFENSIVE JIHAD AGAINST A "GREAT SATAN" EMPIRE.  Most successfully, Bin Laden prompted this display of imperial belligerence from the United States by baiting the oil-hungry Bush Administration into crusading across the Middle East in pursuit of its "Project for the New American Century" initiative.  On the central front of the war, the ideological battlefield, the 9/11 masterminds duped Bush into sabotaging America's reputation and enhancing that of the Al Qaeda insurgency.  Among the terrorist syndicate’s arsenal of weapons, CRUSADER BAITING MOST THREATENS U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY.

  • Short term:  Al Qaeda primarily seeks to provoke the U.S. invasions of Pakistan and Yemen, along with the U.S.-backed Israeli invasion of Iran in order to solidify the image of a crusading superpower.

  • Long term:  Al Qaeda aspires to enact the Apocalypse myth by portraying Bin Laden as the awaited Muslim Messiah at war with the Great Satan empire.

Methodology
  • Selecting an appropriate U.S. President:  Bin Laden's October surprises in 2000 and 2004 supported Bush's presidential election victories, a pattern of support for U.S. war hawks that Al Qaeda tried to repeat in 2008 and 2012.  

  • Provoking America:  Al Qaeda waged a ten-year campaign to provoke an American invasion of Iraq, an effort that culminated in the 9/11 attack.

  • Creating a nuclear Frankenstein:  The Bush Administration's botched occupation of Afghanistan and disastrous Pakistan policy transformed Al Qaeda into the world's strongest nuclear power, a stateless terrorist empire with access to nuclear weapons, the capability of worldwide deployment and immunity from nuclear counterattack.  As long as America fails to isolate geographically the syndicate’s high command outside of the official borders defining U.S.-allied nations, Al Qaeda will enjoy a “nuclear shield” by which it effectively subverts the doctrine of mutually assured destruction that had prevented nuclear war since the dawn of the atomic age.
  • Portraying leadership of a defensive jihad:  During its many years of sanctuary in Pakistan, Al Qaeda's high command has directed its swelling squadrons of affiliates to wage an unprecedented global terrorist campaign.  This effort has principally aimed at winning the world war for hearts and minds by depicting Bin Laden as the vanguard of a defensive insurgency against U.S.-led imperialism in the Middle East.  Most importantly, Bin Laden's decision to refrain from openly attacking the American homeland since 9/11 served to transfer war guilt to the bellicose Bush Administration.
