The CIA was involved in Afghanistan during the Soviet conflict there. I think the CIA funded and equipped the Taliban back then. That's where the Bin Laden fable was created.
you think, and you are correct, the CIA funded the groups to fight the soviets, bin Laden being one of them, who later turned into the fabricated globe trotting terrorist group we are "fighting" now.
In fact, OBL died in 2001, and not only did he NOT take credit for 911, he spoke out against it as any true Muslim on jihad would not target soft innocent targets such as that.
go find the early news reports from when 911 was taking place. They weren't even sure exactly what had happened yet, but you've got various "experts" immediately saying OBL had fingerprints all over it.
OBL made a convenient scapegoat, and because of the US media's unwillingness to investigate and make public the long reaching connections between the bin Laden family and the Bush family, most people don't know all the facts.edit on 2-2-2012 by phishyblankwaters because: (no reason given)
I agree with all of that, except the fact OBL died in 2001 .. I don't buy that conspiracy theory at all .. there's no evidence of it .. there's only here-say and rumor.. I do believe we killed him in Pakistan, and I do believe the Pakastan government was well aware of him living there despite what they say.. the tensions between the US and Pakistan have only increased since we took it upon ourselves to make an incursion into their country to kill OBL .. we only took it upon ourselves to do it because we knew full well we couldn't trust Pakistan anymore..
