On other 9/11 threads, HalfIrish named OBL at 9:08 & I named him at 9:09. It was a gut instinct guess, based on past history, notably the prior terrorist attack at the WTC in 1993.
What else do I have for you? Only what a few commentators have said: OBL has this obsessive-compulsive side. He & al Qaeda will select targets (primary, secondary, possibles) and try repeatedly to hit it (the WTC is a prime example), using a variety of tactics, coming at it from different directions, misdirection, using the unexpected. The WTC was bombed the first time & was probably prepared for a bomb in a vehicle driven into its underground parking garage. It was not prepared for hijacked planes flying into the buildings, terrorism coming from the sky.
The other thing is that there is about an 18 month interval between terrorist acts from OBL. However, because we know this, it could be longer or shorter. In other words, we can never let down our guard until bin Laden and al Qaeda are wiped from the face of the earth. Toss in some of the Palestinian terrorist groups, who hate us as much as they hate the Israelis (note that more than one Freeper named Palestinians on 9/11), and I don't think we'll be safe for quite some time.
This statement is so true and one a vast majority of Americans understand. Which begs the question.....why don't those idiots in the DNC understand it? To me, it's criminal that they are obviously more concerned with a D*MN election than they are in doing what is necessary to protect this country. If, G*D forbid, the terrorists manage to nuc D.C. or any other American site, who wins an election won't matter. All the whining by Dashcle, Old fools Byrd and Hollins and others, are proof positive THEY DON'T HAVE THE BEST INTEREST OF AMERICA AS THEIR PRIMARY INTEREST.
True. I just read the 9-11-01 portion of this thread again.
NEVER FORGET!
