Ingabe i-United States yaphoqeleka ukuba ihlasele i-Afghanistan ne-Iraq ngezenzakalo zikaSepthemba 11, 2001?
Isihluthulelo sokuphendula lowo mbuzo omkhulu kunakho konke kungase kuvele emfihlakalo ukuthi uhulumeni wase-US ugcina ngeSaudi Arabia.
Abanye sekuyisikhathi eside bethi lokho okwakubonakala sengathi ubugebengu ku-9 / 11 empeleni kuyisenzo sempi esidinga impendulo edale ubudlova esifundeni sonke futhi kuze kube namuhla amasosha ase-US abulala futhi afela e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq.
Kungenzeka yini ukuthi kusetshenziswe izingxoxo zombuso kanye nomthetho? Kungenzeka yini ukuthi abasolwa balethwe enkantolo? Ngabe ubuphekula bungancishiswa kunokuba benyuswe? Impikiswano yalawo mathuba iqiniswa iqiniso lokuthi i-United States ayikhethanga ukuhlasela iSaudi Arabia, uhulumeni wayo okungenzeka ukuthi ungumholi ohamba phambili esifundeni futhi ohola imali ngodlame.
Kodwa yini i-Saudi Arabia ihlobene ne-9 / 11? Yebo, yonke i-akhawunti yabagijimi iningi labo njenge-Saudi. Futhi kukhona amakhasi ka-28 we-9 / 11 umbiko weKhomishana uMengameli uGeorge W. W. Bush owake wayala eminyakeni engu-13 edlule.
I-Senate Intelligence Committee eyisihlalo sangaphambili Uthi uBob Graham ISaudi Arabia “ubambisene naye ngo-911,” futhi igcizelela ukuthi amakhasi angama-28 ayasisekela leso simangalo futhi kufanele abekwe emphakathini.
UFiliphu Zelikow, usihlalo weKhomishini ye-9 / 11, uye waphawula “amathuba okuthi izinhlangano ezisiza umphakathi ezixhaswe uhulumeni waseSaudi zadlulisela izimali zaya e-Al Qaeda.”
UZacarias Moussaoui, owayeyilungu le-Al Qaeda, usemangalele ukuthi amalungu aqavile omndeni wasebukhosini waseSaudi Arabia ayengabaxhasi abakhulu ku-al Qaeda ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1990s nokuthi waxoxa ngecebo lokudubula phansi i-Air Force One esebenzisa umcibisholo we-Stinger nomuntu osebenzela kwi-Saudi Embassy eWashington.
Abaxhasi be-Al Qaeda, ngokusho kukaMoussaoui, babandakanya uPrince Turki al-Faisal, ngaleso sikhathi owayeyinhloko yezobunhloli eSaudi; UPrince Bandar Bin Sultan, inxusa lakudala laseSaudi e-United States; UPrince al-Waleed bin Talal, umtshali-zimali ovelele wezigidigidi; kanye nabefundisi abaningi abahamba phambili ezweni.
Ukuqhuma kwamabhomu nokuhlasela i-Iraq bekuyinqubomgomo esabekayo. Ukusekela nokuhlomisa iSaudi Arabia kuyinqubomgomo esabekayo. Ukuqinisekisa iqhaza likaSaudi Arabia ekuxhaseni i-al Qaeda akufanele kube izaba zokuqhumisa iSaudi Arabia (okungekho bungozi kuyo) noma ukubandlulula abantu baseMelika ngemvelaphi yaseSaudi (okungekho sizathu).
Esikhundleni salokho, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi uhulumeni waseSaudi uvumile futhi kungenzeka ukuthi ubambe iqhaza ekufakeni imali ku-al Qaeda kufanele kuvuse wonke umuntu ukuthi izimpi ziyakhethwa, akudingekile. Kungasisiza futhi ukungabaza ingcindezi yaseSaudi kuhulumeni wase-US ukuthi ahlasele izindawo ezintsha: iSyria ne-Iran. Futhi kungakhuphula ukwesekwa kokunqamula ukugeleza kwezikhali zase-US ziye eSaudi Arabia - uhulumeni ongathathi indawo yesibili ku-ISIS ngesihluku.
Ngivame ukuzwa ukuthi uma singafakazela ukuthi babengekho ngempela abaduni ku-9/11 konke ukusekelwa kwezimpi kungaphela. Esinye sezithiyo eziningi engingakwazi ukweqa ukufika kuleso sikhundla yilesi: Kungani ungaqamba abaduni ukuze bathethelele impi e-Iraq kodwa wenze abaduni cishe bonke babe ngabaseSaudi?
Kodwa-ke, ngicabanga ukuthi kukhona ukwahluka okusebenzayo. Uma ungafakazela ukuthi iSaudi Arabia ibihlobene kakhulu ne-9/11 kune-Afghanistan (eyayingahlangene nakancane nayo) noma i-Iraq (eyayingahlangene nakancane nayo), lapho-ke ungakhombisa ukuthi uhulumeni wase-US uyamangalisa kepha ukuzibamba kwangempela njengoba ikhetha ukuthula neSaudi Arabia. Lapho-ke iphuzu eliyisisekelo lizoba sobala: Impi akuyona into uhulumeni wase-US aphoqelelwa ukungena kuyo, kepha yinto ayikhethayo.
Lokho kungukhiye, ngoba uma ingakhetha impi ne-Iran noma iSyria noma iRussia, nayo ingakhetha ukuthula.
