Like it or not the 'Arab Spring' was to a large degree empowered by guys like Binny. The revolutionists have twin enemies: the regimes in control and the masters the tyrants serve... i.e.- Pax Americana.

That's an interesting assessment. However, the beliefs he espouses are in many ways antithetical to those being pushed for now.

And, he was a creation of the tyrants those regimes serve, himself.

What he espoused was independence from Leviathan and self rule. That's the central message of all revolutions of all times.

No, they helped fund him and make him the leader he turned into.

As Lenin said- 'Give them the rope and they will hang themselves.' Binny used the time-tested tactic of America's most famous Muslim warrior. Mohammad called it "rope a dope." See?

I think you're giving him too much credit. I think he was flying by the seat of his pants for a long time.

He is owed much credit for a strategy that has proven successful in vanquishing the empire. The guy was a warrior. You want to marginalize him as a coward and a quisling... go for it. But results speak for themselves.

I've never called him anything here. I don't know what a "quisling" is.

What he did to the empire since 9/11 was some evil mastermind Dr Evil stuff for sure. I think he had some help, personally.

I do know that without the American Government funding him against the Soviets, he wouldn't have become the leader he became. That's what I'm saying.
