What really worries me is that the Bin Laden in "the Bin Laden tapes" apparently are not the same man. The tapes depict various men who look like
Bin Laden, but some of the supposed tapes have different men portraying Bin Laden.
Your right, the video tape was a "hollywood" job most probably directed by the FBI or CIA. The VHS videotape was supposedly physically located in a
house in Jalalabad in Afghanistan.
The tape bore a label indicating it was made on November 9. Administration officials wouldn't reveal exactly how or when they got it, except
to say it was found in a house in Jalalabad after anti-Taliban forces moved in. -

Why would Bin Laden make a confession tape and not release it himself, rather place the video in some house?
You have to realise that the confession videotape was highly effective in the divertion of media attention away from the deportation of five Israelis
who danced as the twin towers burned. What happened to these 5 Israeli's who were dancing around as New York was under attack?
In the Israeli's van they found box cutters (what the apparent "terrorists" used to hijack the planes), about $4700 cash stuffed in a sock, and
foreign passports. Also NYPD told the reporters that bomb sniffing dogs were brought to the van and that they reacted as if they had smelled
explosives. -

Some could also say searching for Bin Laden in Afghanistan was just a pretext for entering Iraq...
That is exactly what it was for, they needed to blame the terrorists attack on someone in order to get the people behind a war. They blamed Osama even
though there was no hard evidence to pinpoint him to the attacks.
They invaded Afghanistan, showed the appearance of attacking apparent terrorists, instead bombed mountains accompanied by know one. Instead the
Taliban and most probably Al-qaeda members were deported on a chartered flight to pakistan.
Annals of National Security about a clandestine airlift of Pakistani military and intelligence personnel who had been aiding the Taliban in
Afghanistan, out of the country, and the likelihood that elements of the Taliban leadership were able to escape with them... (Pakistan had been the
Taliban’s staunchest military and economic supporter in its long-running war against the Northern Alliance.) The airlift was sanctioned by the U.S.
government in order to retain the cooperation (and political power) of Pakistan’s pro-U.S. leader, General Pervez Musharraf. -

Lets examine further:
On September 15th, 2001 Bush states: "If he thinks he can hide and run from the United States and our allies, he will be sorely mistaken."
2 days later, he states, "I want justice. And there's an old poster out West, I recall, that says, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive.'"
On December 28th, 2001 a few weeks after the Afghanistan war ends, Bush says, "Our objective is more than bin Laden."
Bush's January 2002 State of the Union speech describes Iraq as part of an "axis of evil" and fails to mention bin Laden.
On March 8th, 2002, Bush still states: "We're going to find him."
But only a few days later on March 13th, Bush states, "He's a person who's now been marginalized.... I just don't spend that much time on him....
I truly am not that concerned about him." Wow thats an amazing statement. So it was never about Bin Laden in the first place.
Instead, Bush is "deeply concerned about Iraq."
The rhetoric shift is complete when Joint Chief of Staff Chairman Myers states on April 6th: "The goal has never been to get bin Laden."
I think you get the picture now. It was always about Iraq. Alot of Government contracts have been given to the companies most of the Government sit on
the board of directors or either own them.
