US a very young nation with too much power – ex-Pakistani spy chief

Amid the fallout between Washington and Islamabad over the killing of Osama Bin Laden, RT spoke to Hamid Gul, former chief of Pakistan's Intelligence Agency. He calls the US a haughty empire spoiled by a sense of authority.
“You have to understand the arrogance of the West, especially the US. They are a very young nation that received too much power. They created the image of Bin Laden to justify war with Afghanistan,” said Gul. “They wanted to finally look as if they are victorious and make the world believe it, because they can’t forget the defeat in Vietnam.”
Hamid Gul stated that while US had been using the image of Bin Laden for the past several years, the terrorist had been dead for a long time already:
“Osama Bin Laden was not killed. He died of natural causes years ago. In any case, even if he was alive, he was a living dead. Because if he was hiding in Pakistan, let’s assume that the story is right, then how effective could he be from there?” stated Gul.
According to former chief of Pakistani Intelligence Agency the US had an obvious aim in staging Bin Laden’s death.
However, Gul maintains Bin Laden’s death will on no account cause terrorism to double.
“Osama was not a symbol of resistance. I don’t think he did much, I don’t think he carried out 9/11,” he said.

US veterans left to fight post-war demons aloneAmerican soldiers who return from Iraq are often left to adjust to life after service all by themselves, struggling to make sense of and justify the deaths caused by the war. The US government is often accused of failing to help them. |

The American government aint just a baby; it's a crab walking both ways!
The U.S. is not young. The U.S. Constitution is the oldest in the World, and it became an independent nation a long time before the rest of the World.
Not Tru SIR.
For example this country .
From the 10th century to the 16th century, Holland proper was a unified political region, a county ruled by the Count of Holland. By the 17th century, Holland had risen to become a maritime and economic power, dominating the other provinces of the Dutch Republic.
And for sure the USA is Arrogant And a Bully . And look how much money and manpower you spend on FBI and CIA and more and are you safe? And your an Plutocracy and for sure not an democracy
Israeli Intelligence agents were not the only people filming 9/11 as it occurred.
Of course, when the high quality footage comes out in decades to come, only then, will people start to wonder.
All this from a plot of a few people to bring about systematic change for the benefit of profit, and geopolitics.
Some may say that they almost pulled it off. But in the end, it will all come undone.
