In my opinion, with NO facts to support my claims, this is my position.
Usama Bin Laden was always a phoney. Reagan, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush 1 made him who he was. They trained him, they funded him, they supported him. After he fought the russians in afghanistan, there was nothing left for him to do since Reagan was facing a possible impeachment for gun running and arms for hostages. Lucky for Reagan, he got shot and the impeachment never took root.
Going into Clinton, think tanks like "the project for the new american century" were already talking about war in the middle east. Bill Kristol, the founder and fox news contributor, made a statement in july 1997 when he said, "the only way to get the american public to endorse war would be for another event to happen in the United States that would eclipse Pearl harbor".
How did he know that in 4 years, he would get his wish? Kristol, a man who has been involved in many republican administrations since reagan appears to be the real "Karnac" the future teller.
I believe republican think tanks working with Usama Bin Laden, who had been so helpful to the republicans throughout the reagan/bush administration may have been working together to create strife in the middle east to get war started.
9/11 clearly ECLIPSED pearl harbor, and I dont believe anyone would disagree with that.
But there is no proof. Not yet anyways.
When you look at the newly released Usama tapes, it appears all hollywood. A false boogeyman.
At home, Usama appears like a pennyless homeless man, yet, never leaving his compound, how does he get the elaborate clothes, the makeup, and the backgrounds for his tapes? Hair dye, beard dye, pressed clothes... how does this happen when there is no dry cleaners on the premises???
If someone was trying to create a boogeyman in order to get 2 wars going, and then profit from each of them despite the human costs, then making Usama Bin Laden a ghost was in order.
If they made him a ghost, and convinced americans that usama was in afghanistan in the mountains, then they knew they could stay there for years and never catch him. Putting out a tape over time keeps the americans convinced that the boogeyman is still out there.
Playing on americans fears and patriotism isnt a tough challenge. Cable news channel fox brings on many defense think tank officers daily to talk about usama in afghanistan and reinforce the claims that he is there. Over and over, they talk about him being in the mountains, in caves, under ground , blah blah blah....and what makes them experts, is that they are former military men who are recruited to these think tanks to do the speaking for those behind the scenes.
It all sounds so professional and real.
But its all B.S.
Look at the video of Usama sitting in a dump watching tv, everything in that room would cost about 200 bucks combined, yet, his back drops in the videos would cost about 1000 bucks.
How does this figure? Unless there is a network to support him. Who is behind it? Why was it near a military compound, and there for almost 6 years.
Who made the deal to harbor him there? Bush/Cheney and the ISI? Bush/CHeney and the pakistani army?
Bin Laden was a useful tool to the republicans during reagan bush so why would it be such a stretch to believe he wasnt used again successfully against our own country for monetary gain?
The same people were involved during 9/11 as in reagans term with the exception of Bush 2.
Think about it.
Peace.
