General Allen’s Service to Al Qaeda’s Paymasters
A badge of shame.
August 4, 2016
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.
After
two American soldiers were murdered by an Islamic terrorist in
Afghanistan while a crowd of protesters shouted “Death to Americans” and
“Death to Infidels”, General Allen visited his men.
“There
will be moments like this when you’re searching for the meaning of this
loss. There will be moments like this when your emotions are governed by
anger and a desire to strike back,” Allen pleaded. “Now is not the time
for revenge, now is not the time for vengeance.”
General Allen had already apologized
to the killers for the “desecration” of the Koran by American soldiers
who had been destroying copies of the hateful document being used by
Taliban prisoners to send notes to each other. "I offer my sincere
apologies for any offence this may have caused, to the president of
Afghanistan, the government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, and
most importantly, to the noble people of Afghanistan," he had whined.
The “noble people” of Afghanistan were the ones chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Infidels”.
Meanwhile General Allen was telling
the American soldiers grieving the loss of their own that the real
tragedy was the destruction of the terrorist books. “Now is how we show
the Afghan people that as bad as that act was in Bagram, it was
unintentional and Americans and ISAF soldiers do not stand for this.”
Then
Allen said that he was “proud” to call General Sher Mohammad Karimi “my
brother”. Karimi, was the Afghan military strongman who had defended
previous attacks on NATO troops and demanded that the American soldiers
be put on trial.
“We admit our mistake,” General Allen cringingly continued. “We ask for our forgiveness.”
Then he
praised the “Holy Koran”. Six American military personnel faced
administrative punishments for doing their duty in order to appease the
murderous Islamic mob in all its nobility in Afghanistan.
This was
typical of General Allen’s disgraceful tenure. It is also typical of
his post-military career which has included a prominent spot at
Brookings and a speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention.
After his enthusiastic endorsement of Hillary and attacks on Trump,
Hillary has insisted that anyone who criticizes Allen is not fit to be
president because Allen is a “hero and a patriot”.
If there’s anyone who is an expert on heroism and patriotism, it’s Hillary.
Allen’s
heroic post-military career brought him to Brookings. The road from the
think tank runs to Qatar which donated nearly $15 million to promote its
agenda. That agenda took General Allen to its US-Islamic World Forum in
Doha, Qatar.
Allen
praised the “magnificent institutions” of Qatar. He endorsed the
mobilization of the Jihadist terror groups known as Popular Mobilization
Forces, some of whom have American blood on their hands and are owned
and operated by Iran. Allen insisted that “many PMF fighters are not
Shia-hardliners but Iraqis who volunteered last summer, answering Grand
Ayatolah Ali Sistanti’s fatwa to defend Iraq.”
Then Allen sank to a new unimaginable low by urging compassion toward ISIS Jihadists from abroad.
“We must
strive to be a Coalition of compassionate states,” Allen insisted.
“There is no denying that many societies find the idea of rehabilitating
foreign fighters objectionable. And indeed, those who have broken the
laws of our lands must be held accountable. But long-term detention
cannot be the sole means of dealing with returning foreign fighters.”
Then he touted “deradicalization” and “reintegration” programs by Muslim countries for Jihadists.
Allen
claimed that seeing the “Muslim faith practiced and lived” in
Afghanistan had made him a “better Christian”. But his messaging wasn’t
surprising considering his employment and his location.
Qatar was a key international state sponsor of terror.
Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11, had been tipped off by a member
of the Qatari royal family. The same Qatari royal family whose shindig
Allen had shown up to perform at. Their terrorist media outlet, Al
Jazeera, had been Al Qaeda’s media drop outlet of choice.
Qatar is
a strong backer of Hamas. It has been accused of funding Al Qaeda. More
recently it’s been linked to backing Al Qaeda’s local platform in
Syria, the Al Nusra Front. The Taliban opened an office in Qatar. Even
an early ISIS leader got his start with patronage from Qatar’s royal
family.
A strong
backer of the Arab Spring, Qatar exploited the chaos by aggressively
smuggling weapons to Jihadists in the region. Two years ago, a
bipartisan majority on the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the
Middle East and its Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and
Trade had called for an investigation of Qatar’s links to terrorist
funding.
General
Allen’s visit to Qatar was shameful. He was praising and pressing the
flesh of the paymasters of Islamic terrorists whose hands were and are
covered in American blood. Allen had betrayed the soldiers fighting
against Islamic terrorists. He had betrayed his country and his cause.
He is a traitor to both.
Allen’s
disgusting DNC performance was the climax of a series of betrayals. It
is not the worst speech he has ever given. Nor is it the most dishonest
or the most despicable.
General
Allen has gone from serving his country to serving the enemies of his
country. That is the man whose endorsement Hillary Clinton is proudly
waving around as if it is a badge of honor instead of a badge of shame.
Allen is
neither a hero nor a patriot. He is a man who has sold his soul to the
highest bidder. Hillary Clinton has won this latest bid for Allen’s
shopworn soul, alongside the tyrants of Qatar who trade in human slaves
on a global scale. It is likely worth about as much as Hillary’s own
soul. Whatever tattered spiritual scraps are left of it.
The mass
deaths of American soldiers in Afghanistan under Obama still remains a
largely untold story. It is the story of how Obama and his collaborators
among the military elite sold out our soldiers and left them to die on
the battlefield without allowing them to defend themselves so as not to
offend the “noble people” of Afghanistan and their fine religious
traditions.
74.5%
of American deaths in Afghanistan occurred under Obama. Countless more
came home, crippled and scarred. While General Allen hobnobs at parties
with Al Qaeda bosses, the men he betrayed come back in body bags.
They are heroes. Allen is a traitor.
