Richard Engel Quotes
The Saudis, And In Some Cases The CIA, Had Encouraged And Funded Their Foreign Jihads, And These Men Had Seen Combat, Lived Hard In The Mountains, Did What Their Religion Asked Them To Do. Then They Came Home To Egypt And Were Rewarded With A Death Sentence. The Result Was The Creation Of A Standing Army Of Jihadis Who Couldn't Go Home. They Would Go On To Found Al-Qaeda, Which Became Something Of A Jihadi Veterans Association. History Is Always Obvious In Retrospect, But In This Case The Rise Of Al-Qaeda Should Have Been Fairly Easy To Predict.
