E) "On 9/11/2001, we were brutally attacked by the terrorist organization known as al Qaeda. We will declare war on al Qaeda, its agents and affiliates around the world. With the help of our allies, we will hunt them down and capture or kill them, one by one if necessary, until they no longer pose a threat to the U.S. and our allies."

First of all terrorism has its origins in poverty, oppression & suffering. So using the CIA to prop up brutal tyrants & dictators & assasinate democratically elected leaders may not be such a shit hot idea after all.
Constantly interfering in the internal affairs of other countries has apparently PISSED SOME PEOPLE OFF.

GO FIGURE!

"we were brutally attacked by the terrorist organization known as al Qaeda"

Says who, oh yeah the same people who have been doing this for the past 60 years.

using the CIA to prop up brutal tyrants & dictators & assassinate democratically elected leaders, constantly interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.

History.... it's hard to escape it.....

1953: Iran
CIA overthrows the democratically elected Mohammed Mossadegh in a military coup, after he threatened to nationalize British oil. The CIA replaces him with a dictator, the Shah of Iran, whose secret police, SAVAK, is as brutal as the Gestapo.

1954: Guatemala
CIA overthrows the democratically elected Jacob Arbenz in a military coup. Arbenz has threatened to nationalize the Rockefeller-owned United Fruit Company, in which CIA Director Allen Dulles also owns stock. Arbenz is replaced with a series of right-wing dictators whose bloodthirsty policies will kill over 100,000 Guatemalans in the next 40 years.

1959: Haiti
The U.S. military helps "Papa Doc" Duvalier become dictator of Haiti. He creates his own private police force, the "Tonton Macoutes," who terrorize the population with machetes. They will kill over 100,000 during the Duvalier family reign. The U.S. does not protest their dismal human rights record.

Dominican Republic
The CIA assassinates Rafael Trujillo, a murderous dictator Washington has supported since 1930. Trujillo's business interests have grown so large (about 60 percent of the economy) that they have begun competing with American business interests.
