Robert Fisk: Invasion could be more costly than Vietnam

by Robert Fisk Wednesday, Sep. 19, 2001 at 7:29 AM

So, are the Americans planning a mere attack by cruise missiles? They fired 70 missiles at Osama bin Laden's camps after the bombing of the US embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam ­ they knew where they were, of course, because the camps were built by the CIA during the Afghan-Russian war ­ but they did not touch Mr bin Laden

If Bush wants an invasion, it could become more costly than Vietnam

Afghanistan

By Robert Fisk

18 September 2001

President Bush is talking about a "crusade''

-----

And then there is that main supply route. Pakistan has already made clear that it will not involve its own military in a campaign, although there are suspicions that enough money might persuade General Musharraf now respectfully referred to as President by the Americans even though he took the presidency illegally to change his mind. However, the "Jihadi" culture has already impregnated the Pakistan army and there is a real possibility of unrest turning to civil war if the Americans arrived to invade Muslim Afghanistan.

------

There is a striking irony for the above passage to the fact that Bush is not an elected US President, rather anointed by the felonious five US Supreme Court appointees by Bush the elder.

The symmetry of the situation raises the very real probability that such US Civil unrest will hinder or even stop Bush's plans to scapegoat the Taleban as cover for establishing US hegemony over the Caspian Sea Oil pipeline in what amounts to using the US military as his private vigilantes in a proxy war in the Mid-East.
