Mujahadin Army of Iraq Issues Letter to America

This is an archive page. For the latest news about communiques and videos coming from terrorists in Iraq, please go to the MAIN PAGE HERE.
----------------------------

UPDATE: Something just clicked. I've updated this post here, check it out.
mujahadinarmylogo.jpgThe General Headquarters of the Mujahadin Army in Iraq has made the following statement addressed to the American people. The communique is written in English. The letter is published in its entirety below, with brief commentary and analysis.

A propaganda video was also put out with the message. The video may be downloaded here (see 'communique7.wav).

The video shows IEDs being made and used, while the letter is read as a voice over. The voice over on the video is more extensive than the printed letter. Part of the video shows insurgents digging up previously buried ordinance, which is then converterd to use as IEDs. The video is desinged to show a strong insurgency in order to sway American public opinion. It paints a Vietnam like picture in exactly the same way the American left portrays Iraq.

Notice the heavy use of Leftist media reports, including the allegation made by Giuliana Sgrena that chemical weapons were used in Fallujah, to justify ongoing efforts to kill Americans. Also notice the heavy use of anti-Semetic imagery and the major theme of a global Jewish conspiracy. Hat tip Infovlad.

Letter to the American People

People of America

We wish to share with you our thoughts on the events we experienced, as well as what the future may bear, & despite the madness we have endured & still, we see no harm in presenting you the criminal nature of your newly re-elected Emperor.

Despite our belief, that the elections were flawed, we know now that when there is a close tie between the candidates, there is something wrong. Some in our ranks, believe that any candidate from any side of the spectrum, are two faces of the same coin. You the people, have said your word, in what is claimed to be a democracy; & thus, have chosen a leader, who claims to represent your vision.

It is your right to lead the world, as it is the right of any nation which chooses to do so, yet this does not allow you to conquer others. There is a belief of a large number of our people, that a lot of facts do not reach you, facts that may be classified as unsuitable for the general public. Facts, that are twisted to gain a positive image here or there. Nothing new to an emperor who represents deceptions, lies, crimes, half victories, & total defeats.

Your administration, time after time, lied & presented you with achievements directed by Hollywood & preformed in Iraq.

You have elected these criminals, & thus, you are responsible for their actions. We hope that your future decisions will be based on reason & belief, for your emperor tomorrow will mirror the image of America to the world, & by his actions, will your new empire beMeasured.

And for the first time in history, a mafia of the weapons plants represented by Bush, Oil companies represented by Dick Chayne, & the Zionists by Paul Wolfowitz & Richard Pearle, hijack the United States of America in an ingenious plan to control the world. This type of Administration is exactly what Benjamin Franklin once warned you of.

The reference is to a now debunked statement allegedly made by Benjamin Franklin warning against trusting the Jews. The statement actually first appeared in a Nazi publication A Handbook on the Jewish Question in 1935. Arab presses and various extreme right and left wing publications continue to pass along the 'Franklin Prophecy' as if it were true.
By weakness & ignorance, you have allowed this gang of criminals to hijack you country, create a new phobia, to recruit those whom they regard as nothing but fuel & vehicles to their master plan.

This administration, will enforce on you as it tries to enforce on our people, new laws that will result in a police state similar to those your consecutive governments back in our region.

Notice how the 'resistance' in Iraq believes the left-wing European and American media reports on the Patriot Act. For instance, if you were a regular reader of The Nation you might also believe this was true.
Legislation will soon be drafted by the appointed puppets to allow foreign ownership of land & structure & soon our people will be the foreigners on the land of their for-fathers. This new world order, will enslave people of all religions & race& Soon your children as well as ours, if they survive, will truly live in a planet of apes, & with a reduced population for ease of control, this can only be the implementation of a plan once presented by Henry Kissinger.
Again, the extreme right-left-and Islamists all converge on the idea of a New World Order out to enslave humanity. And who is behind this global order? The Jews, of course.
This world has not yet seen an empire, which constitutes in itÂ’s prime objectives, the destruction & genocide of whole populations & societies, only to control the energy resources of this planet.
Again, listen to Moveon.org rhetoric and you would actually believe this to be the case. Did you watch the anti-war rallies over the weekend? Genocide was the word of the day.
Your representatives, & their media, have portrayed an image that an insurgency is in Effect & that it is led by elements of foreign fighters entering from Syria & neighboring Countries; yet we assure you, that it is only a continuation of what Bush once claimed, “Mission Accomplished”.

This resistance movement was prepared for, & is only the second chapter of this War. And we are mostly if not all Iraqis, Proud Iraqis who kept their oaths to defend people & country. And because this war may last longer than what the invaders anticipated, we have all promised to make their stay long, costly & painful.

Blaming other countries, is nothing but creating new pretexts to invade other sovereign states & back future expeditions.

This seems to suggest that the resistance is admitting to ties with Saddam Hussein. If the resistance had prepared itself before the invasion then it certainly did so under the supervision of Hussein. This particular group, the Mujahadin Army, is not one the three main terrorist groups in Iraq. Such generic names have often thought to be used by former Baathists who now cloak their fight in religious terms.
They have made our country a battlefield to settle accounts with elements of Al-Qaida, formerly dear allies and partners, they have also created new phobias to justify their continued presence, despite their loss of this war.

As for the general media, we call on them to think about what they declare, & not fear death & imprisonment, do not fall into traps prepared by those pull the strings from Tel Aviv.

As for the declared casualties, This is an epic on itÂ’s own. We assure you that the figures are far higher than declared. It is not a secret today in Iraq, what we call the green card soldiers, young men from South America & other parts of the world gathered and promised the U.S. citizenship & large sums of cash for their mercenary services in Iraq. They are always on the frontlines, & their casualty figures are never declared. They are hidden in unmarked graves and dumped into rivers under the cover of moonless nights. Some of which, the resistance has provided evidence of. There are also the large numbers of security contractors, who are not listed as military personnel. To us, it is one thing to be tricked into this war, but it is totally different, to come here & fight someone elseÂ’s war.

Err....right.
After the failed American Elections in Iraq, they will now play the sectarian card. They are already sending their mercenaries to destroy churches & mosques alike in order to prepare the grounds for civil war & unrest. They will train more & more local traitors to conduct police operations & detention raids on anyone who does not accept democracy performed at the muzzle of a barrel. The local mercenaries will also act as sandbags to their masters, when we choose to strike.


The non conduct of your troops has also taken itÂ’s toll on our people, it has created resentment & disgust. They dismiss these war crimes as isolated cases, yet the figures are always on the rise. WhatÂ’s more are the scandals of Abu Graib, poka, The use of Chemical weapons on Falluja, & only gods knows whatÂ’s to come.

Thank you leftist media, you traitorous thugs, for giving the jihadis a reason to kill Americans and pro-democracy forces in Iraq. I document that Sgrena makes the allegation that chemical weapons were used in Iraq here.
Life under Dictatorship is far more safer, than behind the bars of your democracy.

Have you not asked yourselves, where are the weapons of mass destruction, & where are the links between our previous government & the once CIA sponsored AL-Qaida? Or is that all now a thing of the past?

What happened to the thousands of innocent people who died & continue to die of cancer,

Women who give birth to deformed babies, caused by the effect of your militaryÂ’s depleted Uranium shells. Since 1990, our first encounter with your troops on the battlefields, thousands on both sides of the conflict have suffered unknown illnesses, many have died since then, & others lack medical attention. Large parts of Iraq will be radioactive for millions of years to come, & if we were to return this radiating material to the U.S. & Britain, we would be no different than those who use them.

The left-wing media also is rife with reports that depleted uraniam is harmful and causes mass birth defects and hundreds of thousands of deaths. A completely unsubstantiated allegation, which has been debunked time and time again. The 'depleted' part of 'depleted uranium' means that the substance has been depleted of most of its harmful radiation.
May we ask you, why you think the British government decided to set foot only in areas of the south, where the resistance is still partially active. They have left the difficult areas for your boys to suffer. This deal was accepted by your government only to form a purely cosmetic alliance with a nation that still strives for the glory of itÂ’s imperial past.

They have turned the land of the free, into a camp of capitalist slavery, and then changed The home of the brave into a printing house for papers they call dollars & guarded it with enormous military might. This administration, which claims that you have re-elected, has brought on more humiliation & insults to each & every one of you, than any other government in your short, yet tremendous history.

& as odd as it may seem, we advise you to take matters into your own hands, & rid this world of such criminals, or any form of government which resembles the Neo-cons in their aims. Form a third party if need be, appoint those who resist pre-emptive war as true representatives of the people, before it is too late. & if demonstrations & protests are not heard, use & protect what is left of your constitution & correct matters by force. The world awaits your move. Today, these words may seem strange, but we believe that a nation which once gave the world John F. Kennedy, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Hughes, & Henry Ford, will not fall short of giving true leaders of substance & dignity.


This war has taught us, that one man on the field can change the outcome of a day, One man, who believes in true freedom, can do what nations put together dare think of.

We share these thoughts with great honesty, to those of you who spent days & nights trying to prevent this war. Timeless efforts to prevent this real holocaust.

To all of you we say, you are the true patriots, & thank you for your time.

The Mujahideen Army
Baghdad- Republic of Iraq

The 17th of March 2005

Dear Mujahadin Army,

Thank you for your concern. Now look up. What you do not see or hear is a 2000 lb bomb falling on your position. That is our reply.

Sincerely,
America

2 Well, it's good to see someone post the truth and be willing to stand up for it. The quote in which he was referencing to Benjamin Franklin is this: "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security." -- Benjamin Franklin (1759) I for one support this Army, I hope it fights against the forces of America's Corporate Imperialist War against the poor common man. Congratulations for doing the right thing against the occupation forces! There are those in America who support your efforts to clean the tarished name of the United States around the world, but we know it will not come until we stand up against the Tyrannical forces that have taken almost complete control of this country since 1980. May both Bush's be put to trial and found guilty at the International Criminal Court. I will be there looking on.

3 Neil, I almost deleted your post then realized that your comments are so assanine that they stand out in the anals of stupidity. Congratulations on winning the asshat of the day award.

Posted by: Rusty Shackleford at March 21, 2005 01:41 PM (JQjhA)

4 Oh, please don't delete posts like Neil's. The only differences between his post and the Mujahadin Army's letter is his spelling's better and he doesn't use ampersands so annoyingly. They're both equally humorous. The message is the same. In America as in Iraq there are severely alienated fringe people who are full of hatred for their country. They're both living in fantasy worlds of their own creation. The terrorists are losing in Iraq and the Bushes are never going to be tried anyplace as war criminals. At least to Neil's credit he's not beheading innocent people.

7 Mr. Franklin was right. Also there is a grain of truth to what they have said. I am all for the war and I thought 911 smelled of Sadam from the get go. However if Americans who have the right to question the motives of our government fail to do so then we deserve neither our liberty or security. However twisted they believe what they have just said. Why are we immune to the same rules that have governed for thousands of years. Power rises to the top. Power is abused. Revolution redistributes power. Over and Over again. Vigilant we must be, and strong against our enemys. Oh yeah we can fight a war have and expanding economy and win all at the same time with no sacrafice by anyone other than soldiers. Sounds like a pipe dream to me. Wake up and look at your own government with the same sceptical eye you use against our enemys. Not just your Right but your duty as a citizen. Patriot act was not needed. Just a good old fashioned war fought to win not to get along. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Yep you can unpost me I'm ranting

8 Bet you did'nt know that Ben Franklin sold American Maritime info to the Brits to fund is lavish homosexual lifestyle in Paris did you? Losses to American Shipping were quite High during Franklin's stay in Paris. Payment records to Franklin for these Maritime records can be found in the National Library in London. So... keep quoting Franklin and see how far that gets you.

Posted by: OB SNOOKS at March 21, 2005 03:17 PM (yBHNA)

9 And you invented what??? And Without Mr. Franklins help who would have had the british bottled up in the Harbor. Maybe the Portuguese. Just trying to get you to think with your head not your heart. Second quote from Declaration of Independance try reading it and see how far it gets you.

Posted by: Howie at March 21, 2005 03:23 PM (D3+20)

10 Either way you all miss the Franklin the terrorists are quoting. They are alluding to Franklin's warning about the Jews, not to his pithy statement (which is stupid and untrue, BTW) about security and liberty.

Posted by: Rusty Shackleford at March 21, 2005 03:25 PM (JQjhA)

11 Franklin was a traitor and a boy lover. Typical liberal behavior. Plus, he loved the frogs. They should dig him up & hang him.

Posted by: Obsnooks at March 21, 2005 03:33 PM (yBHNA)

12 Yeah I got what they said. Don't buy that either: Note I don't buy your opinion either. When we have been fighting this war 10 years instead of doing it right the first time you can write me and tell me I am right. Sorry don't believe anyone is always on the right side very time. Not even us.

Posted by: Howie at March 21, 2005 03:39 PM (D3+20)

13 Sounds like obsnooks needs to get himself some. I find that most people overly converned with the sexual habits of others have been making love to themselves too long. Franklin risked his life and property along with the rest of the founding fathers. I don't see your face on a "C" note. Bye way "C" is the roman notation for 100. You may know that already I'm just not sure due to the low level of intelligence you have displayed, particularly on that last post.

Posted by: howie at March 21, 2005 03:53 PM (D3+20)

14 Howie- Do the research. Not only was he a child molester(permissable in islam) but he sold out our shipping to the Brits. You probably think Clinton was a great President. You are an ass. Open your eyes you simpleton.

Posted by: Obsnooks at March 21, 2005 04:06 PM (yBHNA)

15 Obsnooks, Dude, what does child molestation and Islam have to do with Franklin?? I'm serious?? I don't see the connection.

Posted by: Rusty Shackleford at March 21, 2005 04:08 PM (JQjhA)

16 Howie mocks what he cannot comprehend. I have read the same thing snooks only in the endnotes of a Flashman novel. I was interested and had a friend investigate and yes, you are right. He did sell out shipping info but, I learned of no boy loving activities. Howie is a pimp.

Posted by: Filthy Allah at March 21, 2005 04:09 PM (yBHNA)

17 Yea but not a stupid pimp. Not sure about Franlkin on maritime shipping please post link. I think he may have liked money. Also know he was trying to work out a settlement before he was humiliated on the house of Lords. Maybe changed his tune about then. Anyway I find it hard to believe that we would put a traitor on the "C" note. Guess what Not liberal at all. Voted for both bushes every time. Preferred Sr. as he had more sense. W is quite a bit braver but not quite as bright. Registered Republican considering moving to libretarian. But see I live in ILL and didn't vote for George Ryan just because he had an R by his name. I know a crook when I see one. Think don't follow. Following is what they do. thinking is what we should be doing. It was fun upsetting you guys. I grow tired of this one.

Posted by: Howie at March 21, 2005 04:21 PM (D3+20)

18 Before I go one more item. Jefferson had a slightly different take on the security thing. "A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will loose both, and deserve neither" Thomas Jefferson. Looks like they originated from the same idea. Go ahead and flame Jefferson now.

Posted by: Howie at March 21, 2005 04:35 PM (D3+20)

19 Of course both quotes are nice, but they don't really tell you anything. Wars require a lower scrutiny level for those engaged in marginal activities, thus a reduction in some amount of civil liberties. This is one of the reasons war is generally a bad thing. You don't go to war unless your other options are worse.

Posted by: Rusty Shackleford at March 21, 2005 04:42 PM (JQjhA)

20 Amen Rusty. And you fight to win. And when you win you put things back right. Somehow I don't think that will happen this time. Let's hope I'm wrong. I don't post very often. Thanks for tolerating me today. I just get upset by non thinkers spouting crap. I come here seeking information. Thanks for the good work. I get some good info from your site. Also some crap but all in all pretty good stuff.

Posted by: Truthseeker at March 21, 2005 05:34 PM (5bt2a)

22 First off, The Reasons given for the Iraq war were WMD, and a supposed Connection to "Al Qaeda". The Government already admits there are no WMD, and it is well known that Saddam and Bin Laden are ENEMIES. Being that the reasons given for war were lies, US forces are a hostile attacking enemy to Iraq. And the Iraqi People have the right to fight back. If Russia came here and attacked us for something that wasn't true, you would fight back as well, wouldn't you? Or would you just sit there and allow the destruction of your homeland continue? The US has NO business in Iraq. This is a war for natural resources, especially oil. And I will tell you exactly why they are trying to take the oil reserves. They don't want the oil to make it cheaper for you and I to buy it, they want the oil because they realize the Political power they will gain from stealing it. See, every modern military has trucks, tanks, etc. that run on either gas or deisel, and both of those come from crude oil. So thus, if the US gains control of a majority of the oil in the world, and sits on it, eventually the rest of the world will need that oil. When those other countries need that oil, the US will be able to use oil as a leverage to get other countries to support the agenda of the US. Those who don't support the US agenda, don't get the oil, and thus cannot fight back against the US. The US IS trying to take over the world, peice by peice. And because of your ignorance of the facts, they are succeeding. And if your thinking about playing the "Iraq broke several UN Security Councill Resolutions" card, don't even go there. Israel (our "Ally") has violated more than 67 UN Security Councill Resolutions, so if we were attacking Iraq over Security Councill Violations, then we should be bombing Israel as well. Speaking of Israel, the Mujahadin Army in Iraq isn't talking about regular Jews, they are talking about Zionist Jews. If you watch communique #6, you'll notice they say "...put an end to Zionism, before it ends the world..." They say nothing against Jewish people in general, only against Zionists, and if they said "Jews" in #7, I'm sure it's a safe assumption that they meant "Zionist Jews". And for whoever said "They are alluding to Franklin's warning about the Jews" I believe Franklin was also talking about the Zionist Movement, Zionists masquerade as Jews, but they are entirely different. And for whoever said "I am all for the war and I thought 911 smelled of Sadam from the get go". Saddam had absolutely NOTHING to do with 9/11, so get that stupid idea out of your head. Saddam and Osama Bin Laden are ENEMIES. The Saddam-Bin Laden thing is just one of the many lies created to try to justify our illegal invasion of Iraq. And to get you to accept it. HOWEVER, The Bush family is friends with the Bin Ladens. Muhammed Bin Laden (Osama's Father) is good friends and Business partners with George H. W. Bush (our "President's" father). Infact, Bush Sr., Jr., Mohammed Bin Laden and Osama Bin Laden are all Principle investors in the Carlyle Group, a defense contractor, which might I add has received a majority of the defense contracts. And also, During the Russian-Afgan war, the CIA funded Osama Bin Laden to start "Al Qaeda" to fight the Russians. The CIA also trained "Al Qaeda". Go ahead, research what I've said. And by research, I don't mean read FOX News' website or MSNBC, or CNN, I mean go out and read everthing you can find. Find out the truth, if you dare. Oh yeah... If you look at the Passenger lists from the planes used on 9/11, you'll see that there were no arabs names on any of them. Here's a few Things you all should look up and find: U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Memo Operation Northwoods - Justification for U.S. Military Intervention in Cuba On March 4th, 2001, a show called "The Lone Gunmen:" (episode 1AEB79 Pilot) aired. The Pilot episode ends up being about a small faction within the US Government, taking over a Boeing 737 via remote control, and (drum roll please) CRASHING IT INTO THE WTC. Now, right after 9/11 the government said "We never concieved of anyone using planes as weapons" but this episode is from early 2001. I know your thinking "but that doesn't prove anything..." but I can tell you something that does prove what I'm saying. Between October 24-26, the Pentagon held something called "The Pentagon Mass Casualty Excercise" in which one of the execrises a "passenger plane" crashed into the Pentagon. Thus proving that they DID conceive the idea that someone could use a plane as a weapon. Link about the Pentagon Mass Casualty Exercise from Army.mil: http://www.mdw.army.mil/news/Contingency_Planning.html And READ THE USA P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act. It is a huge threat to the US Constitution, and our rights. Excerpt from USA P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act (H.R. 3162): SEC. 802. DEFINITION OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM. (5) the term `domestic terrorism' means activities that-- `(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; That literally makes J-Walking a terrorist offense. For the FULL P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act go here: http://www.epic.org/privacy/terrorism/hr3162.html Everything here is easily verified, if you take the time to look.

Posted by: Rusty Shackleford at March 21, 2005 01:41 PM I didn't realize this was a censored Blog. There is so much censorship these days. For example, this story from Brit Hume on Fox news was spiked because it was so explosive: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7545.htm Requires a high-speed connection. By the way Doc, it’s: Asinine not “assanine”, and it’s: Annals not “Anals”. You must have Anals on the brain what with the Kennneth Mehlman and Jeff Gannon stories and all.

27 The Ranter is correct about Operation Northwoods. The original 15-page US Government TOP SECRET document, "Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Justification for US Military Intervention in Cuba [including cover memoranda], March 13, 1962," available at the National Security Archive website in pdf format at the following link: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/doc1.pdf This document has since been declassified.

28 Greg, Ranter, A) This blog is MY PERSONAL PROPERTY. You are a guest here. How is that 'censorship'?? B) Take lithium. C) A string of quotes does not analysis make. D) A series of 'true facts' is meaningless without context. Since the context you provide is conspiritorial and anti-American, I reject the inferences you draw from them.

Posted by: Rusty Shackleford at March 22, 2005 10:52 AM (JQjhA)

29 Doc, I do congratulate you on mastering a very thought provoking blog even if I disagree with you most of the time. I will continue to make my minor contribution to the site if allowed to do so.

31 Rusty-sorry for the following R-rated statement Neil-you have a right to express your opinion, so do I, GO FUCK YOURSELF Also- greg does anyone really care about typo's or spelling on a blog?

Posted by: dreamer at March 22, 2005 12:59 PM (DHVuR)

32 I usually don't give rat's A about typos but I thought the misuse of the word "anals" was hilarious. Especially from someone who throws around words like "stupidity" so freely. For the record, guys like Ranter and I love America, the ideal and the American people. We just think we've been betrayed by our government. The Democrats take away our second amendment rights and then the Republicans take away our 1st, 3rd, 4th, 6th and 8th amendment rights and they both spend us into a state of economic slavery. By the time the two parties get done we've got penis left. It's like tag team wrestlers beating the crap out of us. I have faith that the American People will prevail eventually. I also don't believe that 9-11 resulted from a failure to connect the dots. It appears that the terrorists were shepherded. In the months just before and after 9-11, over 200 Israeli spies were caught in the United States and whisked quietly back to Israel. This was reported by Brit Hume and Carl Cameron of Fox News in a 4 part series on Dec. 11-14, 2001 and was then removed from Fox’s website on Dec. 15, 2001. In the report, a senior U.S. intelligence agent was asked if the spy ring was in anyway related to 9-11 and he said, “This information is classified, I cannot speak about it”. This 4 part series is still available at: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7545.htm I highly recommend that you listen to these reports. They’re about 5 minutes long each. High-speed connection required. It’s Brit Hume for God’s sakes! Is he an anti-semite?

33 You guys are familiar with the fact that the original mujahadin who fought the Soviets in Afghanistan were backed and trained by the CIA, right? In the mid-eighties we loved these guys and every paramilitary expert who worked with them considered the mujahadin the bravest fighters they had ever seen. Everyone was amazed at how every one of them, to the man, planned to fight to the death and would never surrender. It took the crazy democratic congressman Charlie Wilson and the unconventional approach of CIA operative Gust Avrakotos to secretly get them the weapons and training they needed to fight the Soviets but in the process what did we create??? A highly trained guerilla force who were experts at fighting a super-power in urban combat. Our support included supplying them with shoulder-to-air weapons that could be carried on the back of a mule and the expertice to use them effectively: a crucial ingredient to counter the Soviet "Hind" helicopters that were terrorising their camps and villages. We also replaced their old fashioned box and T-bar detonator devices with highly sophisticated (and reuseable) handheld radio triggers for their roadside explosives. And then there were the really creepy urban weapons of terror that the CIA acquired from the Egyptions: bicycle bombs, briefcase bombs, etc. along with advanced training in staking out a target, recognizing travel patterns, and detonating roadside devices for the greatest impact... We bought loads of old Soviet weapons from the Chinese and other former Soviet allies so that when discovered in the field they would look like captured Soviet weapons rather than anything the US might have supplied. By 1985 we were funding these guys to the tune of a half billion per year. Most of the heroes and standout warriors of these mujahadin were targeted immediately after 9/11 as dangerous enemy combatants and a few were taken out with unmanned drones in the weeks before the US occupation of Iraq even though they would have made great allies against the Taliban. Mike Vickers who is now a military expert associated with the Project For A New American Century orchestrated most of this this training and weapons selection as our involvment. If you read the vision statements and goals of Project For A New American Century they are not far off the claims that the muj are making in this letter. I'm not pro-muj by any stretch but I'm also not fond of ignoring fact no matter how inconvenient. Wake the F up and do some research before you blindly disregard these guys as freaks. They are one of the last products that you could stamp "Made in the USA" on with a clear conscience. We screwed the Mujahadin basically but we also trained them extrememly well and this is the same training that Bin-Ladin mastered as a participant in that conflict and brought to the Taliban. If you don't like the facts then feel free to call me asshat of the day or whatever. This history can be found from a variety of sources. I would recommend "Charlie Wilson's War" by George Crile for starters. -jack bunny
