So let's see, OBL says Arab leaders resemble the US more than they resemble OBL's apparent agenda. OBL is upset the Iraelis ousted the Communist revolutionaries in Lebanon. OBL is perfectly ok with Iran cutting natural gas and oil deals with Communist China. OBL has no problem with secret Russian oil deals (oil for food) and not to mention the presence of Russian advisors in Iraq (for years before Gulf War II). OBL credits M. Atta with masterminding the 9/11 strike against America. M. Atta traveled to Czechoslovakia between 1-3 times to meet with an Iraqi case officer (and under the watchful eye of the Czech BIS). Czechoslovakia used to be used by the Soviets to coordinate the terror network of the 1970s. The only person who happened to be in the right place at the right time to film BOTH planes slamming into the World Trade Center was a Czech national. Yes, I'd say there is more than meets the eye here.
Hard to figure out the score card, but OBL is not a tactical hands on planner. He is more of a spiritual philosopher and guide. A Mullah of sorts with delusions of grandeur.
Alliances are but a convenient tool for him to achieve his goals. He is trading favor for favor. With the goal of killing or converting us all.
