I think you've done an excellent post about the supposed AQ presence in Gaza, but the idea is absurd on its face.
There is no AQ presence in Gaza, and the simplist proof of this is that nothing of any import has ever happened there that has been linked to AQ.
If OBL (if he's alive) is so upset about the Palestinian situation, and supposedly has been since before 9/11, we'd have seen something happen there
by now.
We haven't. One failed killing of some bureaucrat is hardly a reign of AQ-style terror.
I'm sorry but I've never heard of any news that AQ did anything in Gaza; and that right there shows they aren't there--because there is no news
about them that sticks in the public mind. Because AQ is, if anything, a boogeyman to scare the west, and particularly the US, created and maintained
by certain intelligence agencies, and has not (until now) been needed in Gaza.
Guess Mossad finds it opportune to put on the OBL sock puppet show right now. that's the more interesting question IMHO--why is AQ
now
officially in Gaza?
