I know people who think that Bush Sr actually met with Bin Laden.

[smadurski]

too many people think the xfiles was a documentary.

[marron]

Bin Ladin was not a CIA agent. He was a Saudi agent.

I recently read a book by a former SAS member you may want to check out. The author (Tom Carew) talks about British Ops. during the Russo-Afgani conflict. There are is a brief mention of U.S. involvement in teaching guerrilla tactics and unothodox methods. I'm not sure of the validity of the piece but you may want to read JIHAD The Secret War in Afganistan.

Oh, gee...TWO different foes (Saudi + Western) united against a COMMON ENEMY (Soviets)? Man...so do you think maybe there MIGHT be some truth in TWO different foes (Iraq + Al Qaeda) uniting against a COMMON ENEMY (USA)?

Someone wake Ted Kennedy up out of his sauce induced sleep.

What about indirect funding through the ISI?

Perhaps the putting of OBL in the driver's seat in Afghanistan is hard to prove (Brzezinsky, anyone?), but Clinton Adminsitration helped OBL to establish a foothold in the heart of Europe.

9-11 was a thank-you note

>>>>>this myth weakens America’s case for the war on terror by setting up a moral equivalency between America and Al Qaeda<<<<

Clinton admininistration waged a war on behalf of KLA,an Al-Qaeda ally and the remnants of Clinton Adminstration in The State Department still provide overt and covert support to Al Qaeda allies in Kosovo, Bosnia and FYR Macedonia.

WOT? Yeah, right.

[Sam's Army]

Uh-oh!

>Mr. Peikney added in an e-mail to me: “I don’t even recall UBL [bin Laden] coming across my screen when I was there.”

"Yeah, that's what I mean,
I never saw him! Never
even heard his name..."

[Snuffington]

Good article. A decent followup would be debunking the notion that the U. S. government installed Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Another lie that won't die.

[swarthyguy]

Little revisionsism here. The CIA has perfect plausible deniability.

So this is just trying to whitewash recent history.

Keeps the Saudi coverup going.

All American money was channeled thru the ISI. Hekkmatyr got the most, and Osama was close to him.

Also, It is a fact that BinLadin Sr and Pappa Bush were friends.

The BUshBinladin connection is extensive. BinLadin's brothers were flown out of the US; one was the head of WAMY in the USA. A terror group.

As long as we engage in this ostrich in the sand attitude, concerning the extensive history between Saudi and the US and refuse to look at the facts of Saudi involvement and sponsorship of jihad thru the 90's, we're pissing in the wind and

Bush is starting to lose votes because of his cowardly refusal to confront the Saudis, all valid reasons nothwithstanding.

[Robert A Cook PE]

WOW!

Now, I'm sure Newsweek going to put THIS on the their cover.

Maybe the NY Times will have it top and centered?
