Just see SKL's post above yours. That pretty much says it all and in my world is pretty much common knowledge by now.
Nov 8, 1998
In the hours after powerful explosions tore into two U.S. Embassies in Africa last August, there was little doubt within the FBI about a prime suspect. Just two months earlier, a federal grand jury in New York had returned a secret set of charges accusing Osama bin Laden, a Saudi millionaire turned Mideast militant, of building a terrorist network targeting U.S. interests. The sealed indictment charged that Bin Laden and his network, known as Al Qaeda....
Jul 7, 1999
U.S. officials said the measure is intended to put pressure on the Taliban to surrender bin Laden, who is accused of masterminding the Aug. 7 bombings in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya, that killed 12 Americans and nearly 300 Africans and wounded thousands more. Days after the attack, the United States launched cruise missiles at targets inside Afghanistan that officials described as bases used by bin Laden and his group of armed Islamic extremists, al Qaeda.
Oct 26, 2000
Bin Laden has been indicted for the terrorist bombings of U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 in 1998. He recently was televised delivering a threat against the United States while wearing traditional Yemeni clothing. He also recently married a woman from Yemen and has longtime family ties to the country, [Clinton] administration officials said. U.S. military forces in the Persian Gulf are on heightened alert because of the threat of new attacks. U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials also are taking steps to thwart an attack by bin Laden and his al Qaeda terrorist network, who want to drive the U.S. military out of the region.

An excellent and very well presented post my friend, as always.
Yes it is all a con, but since we as a nation are still more or less buying it, it really is something that discussing becomes warranted.
Not everyone has the wisdom or presence of mind of a Spartan King.
Thanks for joining in my friend.

No can do, as long as the freedom fighters keep protecting Al Qaeda, then its not possible. Oh sorry no such thing as freedom fighters or Mujahadeen. They don't exist cause its all CIA created. There is no such terrorists of any kind. No Muslims hate America.

As far as "Muslims hating America", the US has been waging war in the Middle East since 1953 with the overthrow of the democratically elected leader of Iran, Mohammed Mossadegh. So I'd say some hate is in order. Wouldn't you?
Mohammad Mosaddegh
On 28 April 1951, the Majlis (Parliament of Iran) named Mosaddegh as new prime minister by a vote of 79–12. Aware of Mosaddegh's rising popularity and political power, the young Shah appointed Mosaddegh to the Premiership.
In 1951, after the assassination of prime minister Ali Razmara, Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh was elected prime minister by a parliamentary vote which was then ratified by the Shah. As prime minister, Mossadegh became enormously popular in Iran after he nationalized Iran's petroleum industry and oil reserves
Still enormously popular in late 1951, Mosaddegh called elections. His base of support was in urban areas and not in the provinces.[26] This fact was reflected in the rejection of Mosaddegh's bill for electoral reform (which no longer disqualified illiterates from electoral participation) by the conservative bloc, on the grounds that it would "unjustly discriminate patriots who had been voting for the last forty years".

Mohammad Mossadegh (19 May 1882 – 5 March 1967), was the democratically elected[1][2][3] Prime Minister of Iran from 1951 to 1953 when he was overthrown in a coup d'état backed by the United States Central Intelligence Agency.
en.wikipedia.org...
Written in 1954 by one of the coup's chief planners, the history details how United States and British officials plotted the military coup that returned the shah of Iran to power and toppled Iran's elected prime minister, an ardent nationalist.

The Independent, 1996 and 1997 Bin Laden gave an interview to the Independent newspaper's Robert Fisk on December 6, 1996. This was the first he had ever given to a Western journalist.[3] Fisk again interviewed Bin Laden on March 20, 1997; Bin Laden said of his operations at the time "We are still at the beginning of our military action against the American forces."[4][5] [edit]
CNN: 1997 Peter Arnett of CNN interviewed bin Laden in March 1997.[6][7] [edit]
ABC: 1998 A recorded interview in May 1998, a little over two months before the U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, shows bin Laden answering questions posed by some of his followers at a mountaintop camp in southern Afghanistan. In the latter part of the interview, ABC reporter John Miller asks further questions.[8] [edit]
Time: 1999 Rahimullah Yusufzai, a journalist for Pakistan's The News, TIME, and ABC News, in 1999 secured a four-hour interview with bin Laden in Afghanistan's Helmand province. During Yusufzai's late-night conversation, bin Laden appeared to be in good health, though he admitted to a sore throat and a bad back. He continually sipped water from a cup, and Yusufzai caught him on videotape walking with the aid of a stick. This latter footage was erased by bin Laden's bodyguards.[9] The interview appeared in the January 11, 1999 issue of Time Asia. [edit]
2001: Ummat The Daily Ummat is said to have interviewed Osama bin Laden weeks after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. In the interview bin Laden is said to deny his involvement in the attacks; the interviewer, however, has never been identified, so there is no proof of the interview's authenticity.[10] [edit]

I think its safe to say that Operation Ajax entailed the overthrow of a democratically elected leader.
