It's funny to see how stupid the majority of my peers here in America are. How ignorant can some of you be? YOU DO REALIZE BIN LADEN WORKED FOR THE CIA (and probably still does) YOU DO REALIZE WE ARMED BIN LADEN AND TRAINED HIS MEN YOU DO REALIZE WE SENT SADDAM BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS Who had heard of "Al queda" before 9/11? Where were all these crazy madmen terorrists before 9/11 ???? Why don't you study the first WTC bombing which has RECORDED PHONE CALL PROOF that the head of the FBI ordered the bomb to be made and set off. It's people with closed minded views saying "tin foil" that are the whole reason 90% of the world hates the United States.
The word "Al-Qaida" translates to "The Database" in Arabic. It is a database of operatives which work for the CIA. The so called terrorist group is a spin off of the "Muslim Brotherhood" which was controlled by the US government in order to combat the soviet threat starting in the 1950s. Bin Laden was used against the soviets in the 70s, and against the Serbians in the 90s. There are a lot of people here that are very ignorant of history. Stop listening to CNN and FOX and join the rest of us in the emerging alternative news media.
Just one question: Being the world's biggest empire, having technology most of us doesn't even know that exists and one of the biggest army and intelligence service on the globe... how can the US still not know where the leaders of Al Qaeda are??
Yeah, I totally agree. Clinton is partially to blame for 9/11, for not going after Al Qaeda during his tenure.
I think our military has a flaw of being too reliant on technology. We use satellites to eavesdrop on cell phone calls. But when people start communicating via less sophisticated methods, it gets a lot more difficult.
Russia invaded Afghanistan in December 79====boycott of Olympics directly after... Russia was bloodied in the 80's
You really are "dense" aren't you? Bush stopped the head of Anti-Terror in the FBI from going after bin laden for 3 months before 9/11. That guy was forced to quit his FBI job and "handed" over a new job paying 3x as much as head of security at WTC and died his first day on job. I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." - G.W. Bush, 3/13/02 "I am truly not that concerned about him." - G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden's whereabouts, 3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)
Please re-read your original post: Where do I absolve bush of any burden? You made the point: Al Qaeda did not exist before 2001. I posted, yes it did, Clinton mentioned them on a few occasions. You agreed and said yep, and he & Bush let Bin Laden go several times. Who is dense here?
