Saudis acting 'lapdog role' for US in 9/11: Former CIA contractor
2014-09-15
[Iran Press TV] Former CIA contractor Steven Kelley says the claim that ISIL came to power by the failure of the US to investigate Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
for the 9/11 attacks is "a massive case of denial" and the kingdom is acting the "lapdog role" for Washington.

Kelly made the comments after former US senator Bob Graham said Washington's failure to investigate the role of Saudi Arabia in the 9/11 attacks emboldened Riyadh to engage in harmful actions including supporting the ISIL terrorist group.

"I believe that the failure to shine a full light on Saudi actions and particularly its involvement in 9/11 has contributed to the Saudi ability to continue to engage in actions that are damaging to the US -- and in particular their support for ISIS (or ISIL)," said Graham, who was the co-chairman of the official inquiry into 9/11.

"We also know that ISIL is a fabrication, it is a child of the US and Mossad."
Kelly said, "what we're seeing is a massive case of denial [because] most of the US government structure was aware and behind and involved in the planning and carrying out of the actions on 9/11."

"We all know that was a massive false flag operation directly benefiting and involving [Israel's] Mossad," Kelley told Press TV on Sunday.

"We also know that ISIL is a fabrication, it is a child of the US and Mossad."

Kelley said, however, that the Saudis were only playing "the lapdog role" and solely blaming them for the September, 11 attacks is an attempt by the US government to "deflect blame."

#2  "his warped version of Islam" Not warped, orthodox.

"The sheer depravity of ISIL's crimes" Not crimes, obligations.

"Only self-delusional Iranians" Not Iranians, theocrats.

I know, not on your point, but these misses of yours in re assumptions dull your point.

#1  We also know that ISIL is a fabrication, it is a child of the US and Mossad."

The guy who heads ISIL has a degree in Islamic Studies. He (ISIL) threatens to kill people if they don't convert to his warped version of Islam.
Convert or Die are the options people of conquered areas are given. Hard to assign a motive the CIA or Mossad would have in all this.
What would either group stand to gain?
The sheer depravity of ISIL's crimes alone make me skeptical that ISIL would be a false flag operation. Besides, this dudes stated goal is to establish an Islamic Caliphate. Like Americans and Israelis would want to do that???
Only self-delusional Iranians would even postulate such a story.
