As we have reported for some time, the US support to Al Qaeda affiliated jihadist groups waging an insurgent war in Syria would cause the conflict to spread beyond Syria’s borders.  Specifically, we pointed out that the Qatari and Saudi backed insurgents would threaten the Shia dominated (Iranian leaning) government in Iraq.  This came to fruition after anti-government militants seized control of the city of Fallujah in December.  Since then Iraqi forces have been unable to get the city back from the rebel fighters.  Further proof of our predicted regionalization of the war came recently after Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki accused Saudi Arabia and Qatar of declaring war on Iraq and supporting global terrorism.  The Iraqi leader blamed the two countries for orchestrating the latest wave of bloody violence to hit Iraq this year, which continues unabated and at levels not seen since the height of the bloodshed during the US occupation.  Of course you will never hear this in a White House briefing or on the CNN and Fox propaganda networks.

Prime Minister Maliki placed the blame for the increasing terrorist violence in Iraq on Qatar and Saudi Arabia in an interview with France 24. He said both countries are supporting extreme sectarian groups within Iraq, with a view to destabilizing the country and are “attacking” Iraq through Syria.  “I accuse them of inciting and encouraging the terrorist movements.  I accuse them of supporting them politically and in the media, of supporting them with money and by buying weapons for them.  I accuse them of leading an open war against the Iraqi government,” said Maliki, adding that Saudi Arabia and Qatar not only supported terrorism in Iraq, but also sponsor terrorism worldwide.  Maliki made it clear that Saudi Arabia and Qatar are causing the violence when he said both countries are “buying weapons for the benefit of these terrorist organizations.”  Maliki also echoes our warnings over US policy supporting known terrorists in Syria when he warned the Gulf States that their support of global terrorism “will turn against them.”  Let’s consider for a minute that the leader of Iraq just squarely blamed Saudi Arabia and Qatar for terrorism worldwide.  If it is true, would it not mean the entire war on terrorism has been one of the largest and misguided scams?  How can it be that after a decade of fighting terrorism all around the globe that US intelligence and our leaders missed evidence that showed Saudi Arabia and Qatar were supporting terrorists?  After all, aren’t Saudi Arabia and Qatar solid allies and friends of the US?  The fact is Maliki is a politician suddenly caught in a rare candid moment of truth telling and the US has for decades turned  a blind eye to Saudi Arabia’s blatant and deliberate support to terrorism against Americans.

If only the US government was as honest as Maliki we might actually make some headway against Islamic extremism.  It should come as no surprise that one of the primary reasons we have been unsuccessful in the war on “terrorism” is because we have never attacked its real epicenter within Saudi Arabia.  In fact we have criminally turned a blind eye to the terrorist acts of the Saudi government, which have led to the deaths of thousands of Americans.  According to the leaked and still classified congressional report on 9/11, senior Saudi government officials were directly involved in the funding, planning, and execution of the 9/11 attacks; yet, our government has covered it up and kept it from the American people that deserve the truth.  Instead of attacking Saudi Arabia for carrying out an act of war against the US, the US falsely accused and attacked Iraq under false pretenses.  Instead of telling the truth to Americans, two presidents have now sent Americans to fight and die in foreign lands far removed from the real problem.  Unlike Maliki, the US government has consistently misled and lied to the American people to protect THE terrorist state of Saudi Arabia.  In the land of laws, this is called aiding and abetting terrorism and it is still a federal felony crime.  This is nothing short of treason.
