RECOMMENDATIONS:
Defeating Al Qaeda through an Ideological Campaign

VIEW SUMMARY

READ ON FOR UNABRIDGED VERSION

Although the above geopolitical and psychological analyses of Bin Laden's plan do offer uniquely valuable insights into his method and madness, the resulting recommendations ultimately address widely lamented inadequacies of the Bush Administration's policy for the 9/11 War, including:

(A) Allowing Pakistan to serve as the safe haven for 9/11's key orchestrators, Al Qaeda's high command, who persist in a 7-year-old sanctuary to plan the next 9/11 and acquire nuclear weapons.
(B) Losing to Al Qaeda on the central battlefield of the war, the ideological front, by seemingly vindicating Al Qaeda's indictment of America as a belligerently crusading empire.
(C) Refusing to pursue the clearest path to victory over Al Qaeda, a concerted initiative to solve the global energy crisis with sustainable energy sources.

Arising from the complex political, cultural and economic factors underlying the "clash of civilizations", Osama bin Laden poses an entirely new scale of global threat that, ironically, offers a yet-to-be-seized golden opportunity to resolve this conflict between Islam and the West while ushering in a new era of global stability.

The seedling of this new conflict resolution lies in the understanding that the 9/11War has been orchestrated by a planetary menace graver than Adolf Hitler. Today's world-war provocateur wields an arsenal of deployed nuclear weapons with which he plans to help ignite a global holocaust to destroy all nations. In light of the revelation of Osama bin Laden's apocalyptic intentions and capabilities, the world's superpower must immediately lead all nations to suspend existing international disputes and collaborate to destroy Al Qaeda. The looming alternative to such a worldwide reconciliation is the global destruction that will result when the terrorist empire implements Bin Laden's plan for a nuclear war.

The key to thwarting his plan lies in identifying its motive and method. As observed by scholar Dr. Timothy Furnish, Al Qaeda's global campaign is another in an age-old series of messianic Islamic insurgencies that can be defeated by the historically prescribed response: an effective propaganda campaign that is not nullified by the military measures to quash the movement . The fate of humanity's conflict with the Messiah pretender Osama bin Laden hinges on the U.S. ability to win the battle for the world's hearts and minds, the only viable path to the expansion of America's intelligence capabilities necessary to achieve decisive military victory over the guerilla network of Al Qaeda. America's triumph on the battlefield of world opinion would deprive Al Qaeda of its:
(1) Sustenance, the tens of millions of ideologically motivated supporters responsible for the global network's strategic cohesion, safe havens, funding and recruits, and
(2) Purpose, sustainable world domination by messianic nuclear terrorism.
A debilitated Al Qaeda would then face a rejuvenated U.S.-led global coalition capable of reversing Al Qaeda's successes to date as an Islamic insurgency and ultimately destroying this preeminent threat to civilization. These ambitious goals of the proposed U.S. campaign for image-reform can only be achieved by conclusively dispelling both the illusion of Al Qaeda's righteousness and the portrayal of America as a crusading "Great Satan" empire.

A cornerstone for this new campaign against Al Qaeda must be a broadly disseminated promulgation, endorsed by the United Nations, Congress and the American people, acknowledging that the Iraq war was the result of the usurpation of U.S. foreign policy by two fringe groups, the secretly neo-conservative Bush Administration and the duplicitous apocalyptic cult AQ. This declaration must condemn the Bush Administration's redirection of the 9/11 War to pursue imperial aggression in Iraq at the expense of the war on Al Qaeda. Additionally, this promulgation must condemn Al Qaeda's millennialist machinations, particularly Bin Laden's willful:
(1) Provocation of the Afghan and Iraq invasions,
(2) Assistance to Bush's two presidential election victories, and
(3) Fomentation of the Apocalypse War.
Prompted by this public acknowledgment, Muslim leaders and scholars could authoritatively denounce Bin Laden on a theological basis, declaring to his Muslim support base that he is a megalomaniacal Messiah pretender who has nefariously hijacked the Islamic Revolution and intentionally provoked an American crusade against Islam. By publicly deflecting sole responsibility for the current global conflict onto a Doomsday cult that had hijacked American foreign policy, the United States can reverse the vilification of the American people in world opinion that is the necessary pretext for Al Qaeda's overriding ambition to portray the righteous vanquisher of the Great Satan.

Based on this redefinition of the 9/11 War, the widely embraced U.N. resolution must proactively identify the nexus of power behind the 9/11 War as the greatest threat to civilization, equivalent to an incoming Earth-busting meteor that motivates all nations to dismiss existing grievances and cooperate fully to deflect it. As a launching pad for such an endeavor, this global initiative would commit to the immediate cessation of all support for both the Bush Administration's neo-conservative experiment in the Middle East and Al Qaeda's war effort. To lead by example, America would jumpstart the global campaign by radically reforming U.S. foreign policy. Most importantly, two imminent events must be averted:
(1) The looming U.S. bombing of Iran,
(2) A third presidential-election-eve surprise by Al Qaeda intended to postpone indefinitely the 2008 American election and portray a Bush imperial dynasty supported by the tacit consent of the American people.
American implementation of this new initiative's cornerstone U.N. resolution would face a daunting challenge in reclaiming political power from the entrenched special interests represented by the Bush Administration, including the military-industrial complex of the defense and oil industries, as well as the religious extremism of militant Evangelical Christian and Israeli sects. However, the vital necessity of removing this duplicitous neo-con influence on U.S. foreign policy requires that the American people explore all non-violent means of expulsion, including radical reform in campaign and war financing as well as national "recall" elections. Only by halting the imminent neo-con war on Iran can America can have a secure foundation from which to reverse the U.S. image of imperialistic military and economic aggression that is the principle basis for Al Qaeda's power, the broad ideological appeal of the group's anti-American war effort. Having eliminated the neo-conservative influence on America's war effort, the new U.S.-led alliance would not focus on vaguely articulated, unattainable objectives like eliminating evil or combating all groups designated as "terrorists", but rather focus on isolating and destroying the masterminds of the 9/11 attack currently based in Pakistan.

With the stage set for a critical realignment of the global perspective on the 9/11 War, America can proceed to salvage its reputation by displaying its unparalleled value to civilization with its greatest feat of technological wizardry to date. Recognizing both the calamitous role of Middle Eastern oil supplies in this war and the central importance of energy to increasing the global standard of living, America must embark on an international initiative to resolve the current global energy crisis with technological innovation. In an effort analogous to the Manhattan Project or the moon landing, America and its allies must make an unprecedented investment of resources to answer the alternative energy question:
· "What is the safest, most cost-effective, technologically feasible method to provide practically inexhaustible energy to all of the world's people? Will a multi-year research and development project discover the atom bomb of peace, one such cheap, renewable energy source? Will this project enhance the opportunity for a short-term hybrid solution in which a U.N. study group would assess all of the world's populated regions and recommend a unique solution for each region that maximizes the energy production potential of the area's natural resources and combustion-engine-based infrastructure?"
Based on an influx of cheap, abundant energy, fossil fuel dependency can be eliminated and valuable resources like potable war can be manufactured in abundance to increase dramatically the global standard of living and the pace of future scientific discoveries. Considering that the emerging sciences of genetics and nanotechnology offer the prospect of virtually unlimited natural resources, the dramatic acceleration of this research from a massive influx of inexpensive energy could bring to fruition the technocratic dream of liberation from the shackles of Earth's natural limitations on life support. With just one more technological miracle, America can save its reputation by convincingly displaying this nation's indispensable value to civilization. Most importantly, America's industrial wizardry can save the world from Bin Laden's war and the related international conflict over limited natural resources.

Another cornerstone for this new American war effort must be a broad diplomatic realignment, including:
(1) Reestablishing America's commitment to the sanctity of international law (including nuclear arms limitations treaties, the Geneva Conventions, the Kyoto pollution protocols, the outlawing of imperialistic war by U.N. Article 51, as well as respect for global peace, international democracy and economic justice through initiatives such as the United Nations and the Earth Charter (www.earthcharter.org)),
(2) Replacing the widely reviled American occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan with Muslim-based U.N. forces.
Having reestablished a strong, broadly based international alliance against Al Qaeda, this U.S.-led coalition can then militarily confront and defeat a crippled Al Qaeda high command in its sanctuary of Pakistan.

On the basis of a public relations victory, America can finally begin to use military means effectively to eliminate Al Qaeda. A prerequisite to vanquishing the terrorist empire militarily must be the elimination of its strategic nuclear advantage as a stateless nuclear power. Six years after 9/11, the world community can no longer accept the farce of Pakistani national rule in regions dominated by the Taliban that have continuously served as safe haven for Al Qaeda's high command. Pakistan must reestablish global observance of Al Qaeda's official state sponsorship by formally acknowledging the secession of these regions and then aiding the global effort to eliminate the greatest threat to civilization. Once again bound by the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction, and faced with crumbling ideological support that threatens to expose the global terrorist network, Al Qaeda will then be confronted with total collapse amidst a multinational invasion of its high command's safe haven.

Having eliminated the apocalyptic threat of Al Qaeda and reestablished a semblance of global stability, America can then confront secondary threats like nuclear proliferation and non-Al Qaeda terrorist groups without the international illegitimacy and belligerency of the Bush Administration's neo-conservative policies.

However, if America fails to implement these recommendations, at least one fact must be observed if the nation is to survive the 9/11 war: the key to Al Qaeda's final victory lies in the U.S. invasion of Iran.

Defeating Al Qaeda through an Ideological Campaign


SUMMARY

The 9/11 War has been orchestrated by a planetary menace graver than Adolf Hitler. Today's world-war provocateur wields an arsenal of deployed nuclear weapons with which he plans to help ignite a global holocaust to destroy all nations. In light of the revelation of Osama bin Laden's apocalyptic intentions and capabilities, the world's superpower must immediately lead all nations to suspend existing international disputes and collaborate to destroy Al Qaeda. The looming alternative to such a worldwide reconciliation is the global destruction that will result when the terrorist empire implements Bin Laden's plan for a nuclear war.

The fate of humanity's conflict with the Messiah pretender Osama bin Laden hinges on the US ability to win the battle for the world's hearts and minds, the only viable path to the expansion of America's intelligence capabilities necessary to achieve decisive military victory over guerilla network of Al Qaeda. America's triumph on the battlefield of world opinion would deprive Al Qaeda of its:

(2) Purpose, sustainable world domination by messianic nuclear terrorism.
A debilitated Al Qaeda would then face a rejuvenated U.S.-led global coalition capable of reversing Al Qaeda's successes to date as an Islamic insurgency and ultimately destroying this preeminent threat to civilization. These ambitious goals of the proposed US campaign for image-reform can only be achieved by conclusively dispelling both the illusion of Al Qaeda's righteousness and the portrayal of America as a crusading "Great Satan" empire.

A successful American PR campaign might proceed according to the following steps:

1) WAR PROMULGATION: Successful resolution to the global conflict can proceed from a denouncement by the international community of the war's provocateurs, the Bush Administration and Al Qaeda. Public observance of the machinations that ignited this planetary conflagration necessarily and explicitly binds the signatories to cease all support for the two groups. In the near term, this agreement would serve to short-circuit the unfolding designs for a U.S. invasion of Iran and Al Qaeda's next hijacking of a U.S. presidential election in 2008. As leader of the anti-Al Qaeda coalition, America must precipitate the cessation of global support for Bin Laden's war plan by aborting its principle catalyst, the Bush Administration's neo-con war plan. Most impotantly, America's governmental reform must focus on curbing the political influence of Big Oil, defense contractors and the religious extremism of Evangelical Christian and Israeli sects.

2) ALTERNATIVE ENERGY INITIATIVE: With the stage set for a critical realignment of the global perspective on the 9/11 War, America can proceed to salvage its reputation by displaying its unparalleled value to civilization with its greatest feat of technological wizardry to date. Recognizing both the calamitous role of Middle Eastern oil supplies in this war and the central importance of energy to increasing the global standard of living, America must embark on an international initiative to resolve the current global energy crisis with technological innovation. In an effort analogous to the Manhattan Project or the moon landing, America and its allies must make an unprecedented investment of resources to answer the alternative energy question:
· "What is the safest, most cost-effective, technologically feasible method to provide practically inexhaustible energy to all of the world's people? Will a multi-year research and development project discover the atom bomb of peace, one such cheap, renewable energy source? Will this project enhance the opportunity for a short-term hybrid solution in which a U.N. study group would assess all of the world's populated regions and recommend a unique solution for each region that maximizes the energy production potential of the area's natural resources and combustion-engine-based infrastructure?"

3) RECREATING THE GLOBAL COALITION: Having laid the foundation for reentry into world community, America can proceed to rejoin the numerous important international treaties from which the Bush Administration has removed America. Following this reestablishment of the legitimacy of the only existing body capable of peacekeeping in the nuclear age, the United Nations, America can then transfer the occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan to U.N. Muslim-based peacekeeping forces. This replacement of the inflammatory American occupations would largely be accomplished by American funding, including the transfer of existing US military bases and equipment in these war zones to the new forces.

4) DESTROYING AL QAEDA'S HIGH COMMAND: Facing the consensus of a fortified global alliance, the Pakistani government must concede the secession of its Taliban/Al Qaeda-dominated Western provinces to form a new independent nation. This redrawing of the world's most critical national boundary would: A) Re-anchor the image-conscious Al Qaeda to its obligation under the MAD doctrine as an officially state-sponsored group to not engage in offensive nuclear war, B) Geographically isolate the group in prelude to a U.N.-led invasion of the region to destroy Al Qaeda's high command.
