Back in the 2008 presidential race, I explained to then-candidate Rudy Giuliani the concept of \u201cblowback.\u201d Years of US meddling and military occupation of parts of the Middle East motivated a group of terrorists to carry out attacks against the United States on 9\/11. They didn\u2019t do it because we are so rich and so free, as the neocons would have us believe. They came over here because we had been killing Muslims \u201cover there\u201d for decades.<\/p>\n

How do we know this? Well, they told us. Osama bin Laden made it clear why al-Qaeda sought to attack the US. They didn\u2019t like the US taking sides in the Israel-Palestine conflict and they didn\u2019t like US troops on their holy land.<\/p>\n

Why believe a terrorist, some responded. As I explained to Giuliani ten years ago, the concept of \u201cblowback\u201d is well-known in the US intelligence community and particularly by the CIA.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it is clear that Giuliani never really understood what I was trying to tell him. Like the rest of the neocons, he either doesn\u2019t get it or doesn\u2019t want to get it. In a recent speech to the MeK \u2013 a violent Islamist-Marxist cult that spent two decades on the US terror watch list \u2013 Giuliani promised that the Trump Administration had made \u201cregime change\u201d a priority for Iran. He even told the members of that organization \u2013 an organization that has killed dozens of Americans \u2013 that Trump would put them in charge of Iran!

Giuliani shares with numerous other neocons like John Bolton a strong relationship with this group. In fact, both Giuliani and Bolton have been on the payroll of the MeK and have received tens of thousands of dollars to speak to their followers. This is…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
