The Hollywood film "The Long Kiss Goodnight" was released in 1996, and raised a few eyebrows with the quote from the movie, shown below. 5 years later when 9/11 happened, alarm bells started ringing. Not another false flag operation, and again blaming the Muslims, a.k.a the world's favorite patsy (i.e. scapegoat, fall guy, etc.)
(Quote from the movie)
Mitch: You're telling me that you're gonna fake some terrorist thing, just to scare some money out of Congress?
Leland Perkins (CIA): Well, unfortunately, Mr. Hennessey, I have no idea how to fake killing 4,000 people - so we're just gonna have to do it for real. We'll blame it on the Muslims, naturally. Then I get my funding.
Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn't believe them. However, there was a hint of truth. You don't regret anything today?
A: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter. We now have the opportunity of giving USSR it's Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.
