After spending years being grilled over at Guantanamo Bay, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed apparently confessed to planning basically every major terror attack lately—everything from 9/11 to that attempt on Pope John Paul II's life.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Pentagon is claiming that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed—who’s been sitting in that US military prison at Guantanamo Bay for at least three years now—has "fully taken responsibility" for the September 11 attacks on the USA, the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City, and a whole laundry list of terror strikes globally.

"I am responsible for the September 11 operation from A to Z," Mohammed supposedly told officials on March 10th at Guantanamo Bay during a hearing before a military commission, according to the Pentagon. The Department of Defense dropped those interrogation transcripts this past Wednesday.

The Pentagon says Mohammed didn't just take credit for the hits, but also for the planning, the money, and the training for the folks behind them—including that crazy attempt by Richard Reid to blow up an American Airlines flight flying from Paris to New York City back in 2001 using a bomb hidden in his shoe.

"I also share responsibility for the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II during his visit to the Philippines," Mohammed allegedly admitted, per the Pentagon.

He also reportedly claimed responsibility for planning 29 different attacks, including a bunch that never actually happened—like that "second wave" they talk about where the targets were supposedly the Sears towers, the Library of Congress in Chicago and Los Angeles, Bank of America in Seattle, and the Empire State Building in New York City.

And get this—he supposedly admitted he was "running a cell to produce biological weapons, like anthrax, and leading operations to create so-called dirty bombs (radioactive material triggered by conventional explosives) within the USA."

That whole "military commission" thing interrogating Mohammed is basically an administrative body meant to decide if he fits the definition of an "enemy combatant." Since 2001, the United States has been holding around 400 people at its Navy base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba—which, honestly, goes against international laws—claiming they're part of al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and other extremists. They treat them as "enemy combatants in the war on terror," and legal experts in the George W. Bush administration argue these detainees don't get protection under the Geneva Convention, meaning they can be held indefinitely without a trial.

Major props to the crew at Guantanamo Bay👍

🙄 🙄

If they really wanted to—I mean, if they actually had the guts—they could probably go ahead and blame him for our whole mess with privatization and all those war profiteers 🤣 🤣

hollowpanther5 said:As much as I despise Tit and how much I hate America, I have to admit the move was solid. He essentially established a third faction positioned between the East and the West. But again, I HATE Tit and America.

Holding onto that much hate isn't good for you—being that full of negative energy is just bad news.😉

Sam Green73 said:The Non-aligned movement is still hanging on.
We're the ones who ruined the companies that used to export there, so why?
The market is right there for the taking. Just grab it.

Sure, the market is wide open, but our factories are long gone.😢

hollowpanther5 said:As previously mentioned, they were essentially a market where we could export our waste. However, Roosevelt only established the Non-aligned movement to balance power between the East and the West (the USSR and the USA). That strategy worked for him; everyone was trying to curry favor because they all wanted to pull as many nations as possible to their side. Today, the Non-aligned movement serves no purpose other than highlighting how primitive and backward it has become. And Mason certainly proved his own level of primitivism by showing up to their meeting.

thanks 😉
but don't you think that was actually a brilliant, strategic move by FDR?

hollowpanther5 said:They were a market because we truly could have exported our junk to them, but they lacked any real power. That dynamic was manufactured by Franklin D. Roosevelt to balance interests between the East and the West; today, the Non-aligned movement means nothing.

WTF😕. I can't even follow what you're trying to say. Seriously, give it another shot—and maybe try using some actual punctuation this time, for once.😉

hollowpanther5 said:From the very start, the idea behind America was foolish because it was impossible to cram such bitter enemies into a single state. As for the Non-aligned movement, it was essentially useless—just a collection of the most incompetent and impoverished nations. Looking at how Mason behaved during that summit just proves how primitive he really is.

Who do you think you are, big shot?😂 😂

hollowpanther5 said:But he didn't subject us to a bloody collapse. If the South hadn't existed, there wouldn't have been a Civil War. You can't lump fire and water together in the same bucket.

😵 😂 😂

hollowpanther5 said:Exactly what he gave us: forced nationalization, political imprisonment camps, injustice, the violent collapse of our union, wasting taxpayer money on bunkers while waiting for a war that never happened, setting us back decades, and banning religious freedom... thanks a lot to that one-legged locksmith.

Ever since 😱
Don't you think you're getting a little confused there? 🙂

Bradley Nelson2 said:Give me a break. Who actually owns people? Sorry, but I’ve never seen a democracy where the government just steps in and says, "Hey, this corporation belongs to us now." You think it's a good idea? Fine. Let's make it ours so we can run it straight into the ground. Then you won't have anything left to worry about.

You've got a point there—in a democracy, the state usually just takes it from you in a much more sophisticated way.

Bradley Nelson2 said:Who’s actually coming back? Most of it was sold off to private interests by the government ages ago anyway. People might hold out hope for some kind of financial settlement, but it won't come anywhere close to being worth a damn.

Everything built during the old era just got looted once we switched to democracy. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about who actually screwed over the workers and the common people more.

Bradley Nelson2 said:Yeah, because he basically dragged communism across the entire territory of America. 🙄
And let's not even get started on the Americans who were killed after the war, or all the property that was stolen through nationalization—stuff that, of course, never gets returned to its rightful owners.

Look, personally, I’d take communism over fascism any day of the week. Besides—and this is just my take—we never actually dealt with "classic" communism here anyway. If you had been living in somewhere like Czechoslovakia or Canada back then, I'd love to hear if you'd still be complaining about the specific flavor of communism we had to deal with.🙄

Bradley Nelson2 said:Sure, most people would call that his greatest achievement, but if you ask me, he just gutted the American anti-fascist movement and paved the way for communism to take root.

And what exactly would that be...? You didn't actually commit to an answer, since you just mentioned how he totally trashed the entire landscape of the former America...

Bradley Nelson2 said:Bigger than we thought? Fix your head, man. How much bigger can some guy be after he completely trashed the entire former region?

And just how exactly did he screw it up?

Dammit, Ri§, you're back at it again 🤣
