A CIA report from 2002 indicated that the Clinton White House knew exactly where he was on one occasion, but he was visiting several Saudi princes who were in negotiations to buy $14 billion dollars of US fighter bombers. So they let him go. There was big corporate money involved.
If anyone doesn’t think big money kept him safe for all these years, you’re living in a fantasy land.
Remember from time to time over the years, Al Jazeera would air tapes from Bin Laden? I always wondered about that, because I figured somebody, somewhere, had to deliver these messages to Al Jazeera; had to pick up the tapes from someone who definitely knew where he was hiding.
Yes, he had high level protection all these years. With the joy that he is now learning his fate is something other than having 72 virgins, I hope we learn more details about how he was able to hide all these years.
