Anonymous Comrade writes "cryptome.org has posted Al-Qaida's Endgame, a report by Decision Support Systems, a firm supplying consultancy in strategic analysis and planning to US and other business interests.

An excerpt: "The ‘network of networks’ known as Al-Qaida has successfully laid a trap for the United States. Al-Qaida retains the initiative
and the U.S. is operating ‘inside the intentions and plans’ of Al-Qaida

Al-Qaida cannot destroy the U.S. forces inside the U.S., nor can it convince the U.S. to leave the Middle East using terror
attacks. The intention of the terror attacks is a provocation to force the U.S. to engage and deploy forces to the Middle East,
where such forces could be destroyed

The intention and purpose of Al-Qaida’s plans are either to make the Middle East ‘ungovernable,’ or to gain control of the
petroleum production system in the region. Application of the ‘oil weapon’ could be used to attempt to force withdrawal of
U.S. presence in the region; outright destruction of the petroleum production system would leave the U.S. with no or greatly
reduced real interests in the region

Control or destruction of the petroleum production system in the Middle East, and the potential for attacks on global petroleum
production, would transform the political situation in the region, initiate a global depression by degrading or destroying critical
industries of developing and advanced Nation-States, and drastically shift the geopolitical balance""
