But you are making some good points throughout this thread.
That's probably true in a roundabout way. He felt it should have been Muslim forces defending the other Muslim nations not westerners. Now was that his way of saying he wanted to create a Muslim standing army? Possibly. I think it's also fair to say we contributed to that way of thinking in some part through the CIA basically doing that in Afghanistan to fend of Russia. The world is complex but when you take into account the amount of covert ops we do that sometimes go against what we do publicly things can get down right explainable.
