US Foreign Policy and Its Consequences
Siapa yang menciptakan al-Qaeda? Maaf, Zbigniew
Brzezinski dan CIA.
Karena mereka ingin membawa Uni Soviet
ke, memancing Uni Soviet ke dalam perang di
Afganistan.
Kita juga punya riwayat keluar masuk wilayah
Pakistan. Maksudku, ingatlah, orang-orang yang kita
perangi hari ini, kita danai 20 tahun lalu.
Dan kita melakukannya karena kita terjebak dalam perseteruan dengan
Uni Soviet.
Mereka menginvasi Afganistan, dan kita tidak ingin melihat
mereka menguasai Asia Tengah.
Dan kita
mulai bertindak. Dan itu adalah Presiden Reagan bekerja sama dengan
pihak
Kongres,
dipimpin Demokrat, yang berkata, tahu tidak? Kedengarannya ide yang cukup bagus.
Mari bekerja sama dengan ISI dan militer Pakistan,
dan mari kita rekrut
para Mujahidin ini. Dan itu bagus.
Mari datangkan orang dari Arab Saudi dan tempat lain, mengimpor
paham Islam Wahhabi mereka agar kita bisa mengalahkan Uni
Soviet. Dan coba tebak? Mereka mundur.
Mereka rugi miliaran dolar, dan berujung pada runtuhnya Uni
Soviet. Jadi ada argumen kuat bahwa itu bukan investasi buruk
26: untuk mengakhiri Uni Soviet, tapi berhati-hatilah dengan apa yang
kita tabur karena kita akan menuainya.
Lalu kita tinggalkan Pakistan. Kita bilang, oke, baiklah.
Urus sendiri rudal Stinger yang kita tinggalkan di seluruh negeri kalian.
Urus ranjau-ranjau yang ada di sepanjang perbatasan.
Dan omong-omong, kita tidak mau berurusan lagi dengan
kalian.
Bahkan, kita menjatuhkan sanksi pada kalian.
Jadi kita berhenti berurusan dengan militer Pakistan
dan dengan ISI, dan kini kita sedang menebus banyak
waktu yang terbuang.
Tanah di seberang sana adalah milik kalian.
Kelak kalian akan kembali ke sana karena perjuangan kalian akan menang
dan kalian akan mendapatkan kembali rumah dan masjid kalian karena
perjuangan kalian benar dan Tuhan berada di pihak kalian.
Dalam empat tahun sejak para pengawas pergi,
laporan intelijen menunjukkan bahwa Saddam Hussein telah berupaya
membangun kembali persediaan senjata kimia dan biologisnya,
kemampuan peluncuran rudalnya, dan program nuklirnya.
Dia juga telah memberi bantuan, dukungan, dan suaka kepada
para teroris, termasuk anggota al-Qaeda.
Namun, jelas bahwa jika dibiarkan tanpa pengawasan,
Saddam Hussein akan terus meningkatkan kemampuannya untuk melancarkan
perang biologis dan kimia serta akan terus
berusaha mengembangkan senjata nuklir.
Jika dia berhasil dalam upaya tersebut, dia dapat mengubah lanskap politik dan
keamanan di Timur Tengah,
yang kita semua tahu betul memengaruhi keamanan
Amerika.
Ini pemungutan suara yang sangat sulit.
Ini mungkin keputusan tersulit yang pernah harus kuambil.
Suara apa pun yang dapat memicu perang haruslah
sulit.
Namun, kuberikan suaraku dengan penuh keyakinan.
71 hingga 2021. Dan menanyakan apa
dampak dari sanksi-sanksi tersebut.
Dan kita membunuh 38 juta orang.
38 juta orang. Besarnya kekacauan yang telah
kita timbulkan di Timur Tengah beberapa tahun ini sungguh
mencengangkan. Jika memikirkan dampak dari
perang Irak,
apa yang kita lakukan di tempat seperti Venezuela, Kuba, Iran, kau paham kita
memakai pengaruh ekonomi luar biasa yang kita miliki untuk
pada dasarnya membuat orang kelaparan, membuat mereka menderita, untuk
menimpakan hukuman berat pada mereka agar mereka bangkit
melawan pemerintahnya. Kau paham bahwa ini
yang kita lakukan di
Venezuela. Inilah yang kita lakukan di Iran.
Kita menjatuhkan hukuman berat kepada orang-orang ini.
Mengingat semua itu,
saya
merasa sangat sulit menyebut Amerika Serikat sebagai negara yang
mulia.

Original transcript (English)
Who created al-Qaeda? Excuse me, Zbigniew Brzezinski and the CIA. Because they wanted to bring the Soviet Union into, lure the Soviet Union into a war in Afghanistan.
We also have a history of kind of moving in and out of Pakistan. I mean, let's remember here, the people we are fighting today, we funded 20 years ago. And we did it because we were locked in this struggle with the Soviet Union.
They invaded Afghanistan, and we did not want to see them control Central Asia. And we went to work. And it was President Reagan in partnership with the
Congress, led by Democrats, who said, you know what? Sounds like a pretty good idea. Let's deal with the ISI and the Pakistani military, and let's go recruit these Mujahideen. And that's great.
Let's get some to come from Saudi Arabia and other places, importing their Wahhabi brand of Islam so that we can go beat the Soviet Union. And guess what? They retreated. They lost billions of dollars, and it led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. So there's a very strong argument, which is, wasn't a bad
investment to end the Soviet Union, but let's be careful what we sow because we will harvest. So we then left Pakistan. We said, okay, fine. You deal with the stingers that we've left all over your country. You deal with the mines that are along the border.
And by the way, we don't want to have anything to do with you. In fact, we're sanctioning you. So we stopped dealing with the Pakistani military and with ISI, and we now are making up for a lot of
lost time. That land over there is yours. You'll go back to it one day because your fight will prevail and you'll have your homes and your mosques back again because your cause is right and God is on your side.
In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to
terrorists, including al-Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.
Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security. This is a very difficult vote.
This is probably the hardest decision I've ever had to make. Any vote that might lead to war should be hard. But I cast it with conviction. 71 to 2021. And it asked what were the
consequences of those sanctions. And we murdered 38 million people. 38 million people. The amount of havoc we have wrought on the Middle East in recent years is just stunning. If you think about the consequences of the
Iraq war, what we do in places like Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, you understand we're using this tremendous economic leverage we have to basically starve people, to make them suffer, to inflict great punishment on them so that they'll rise
up against their government. You understand that this is what we're doing in Venezuela. This is what we're doing in Iran. We're inflicting massive punishment on these people. Given all that,
I find it very difficult to talk about the United States as a noble country.
