4. Bin Laden = CIA asset

What was the head of Pakistani inteligence doing in Wasington D.C. on the morning of 9/11? Meeting with U.S. government officials. Why did he wire $100,000 to 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta?
It's not really hard to connect the dots.

10. al Qaeda = "Database of radical Islamist mercinaries"....

Former CIA director Casey used them for "wet work" after the Church Committee clipped his wings in 1978.

20. That's the most messed up part

The one thing a transnational terrorist organization needs is a brand. These yokels didn't have a brand, they were just sitting around in their cave in the Kush saying, "man, it would be nice if we had a base (qa'ida) of our own so we wouldn't have to keep paying these Pakistanis to smuggle us in". To the extent they talked about themselves they only called it, interestingly (to me), "our thing", which is exactly what cosa nostra means.

We pick Al Qaeda as what to call them simultaneously violating most conventions of Arabic transcription orthography and giving them a succinct brand.

22. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

A military industrial complex NEEDS an enemy to justify its bloated existence.

5. 1) Stage new Pearl Harbor

3) Feed American troops into one end of the meatgrinder and jihadis into the other end
4) Extract profits

23. Actually, you're probably going to have to put up with it today.

For whatever reason, the mods let the loonies have control of GD on this date. At least they did last year. But after midnight, they'll clean it up.

[baldguy]

14. One more time.

The bushies have lied about everything.

They lie about their goals. They lie about their intentions. They lie about things big and small - from the reasons for an illegal war which has caused the deaths of a million people to what George Bush eats for breakfast.

Why would they tell the truth about the single event which has allowed them to stay in power?
