“No confusion, the question for me is, what gives OBL the moral authority we should listen to him and obey his will regarding those lands?”
who cares about “moral” authority? Sheeesh....
Go back to my analogy...why should you care if I have or had a “moral” authority to punch you in the nose? What difference does that make?
The fact is...OBL made it well known before Gulf War 1 even....that he felt all infidels should exit the holy land.
RP merely believes that there were enough military powers in the area, between the Arab States to nullify Saddams efforts to occupy Kuwait. let the friggin Arabs deal with that jerk. What was he gonna do? Blow the oil wells?
Oh, forgot, he already did that... after we intervened.
If the Arabs can’t get their shit together and protect themselves.... well...they get what they deserve.
As I explained earlier, there are no American forces in any of the holy sites in Saudi Arabia and there never have been. Nevertheless, can you provide a source for any statement prior to the fall of 1990 where OBL made any mention of this?
If the Arabs can’t get their shit together and protect themselves.... well...they get what they deserve.
Right, then MoRon Paul can be president of a country that is living in the dark ages under a cloud of nuclear fallout.
So just because this nutcase with no moral authority says so, the World should listen? I guess if you're another nutcase like Ron Paul, that makes sense.

That's just Paul's opinion and one not shared by most of the World leaders (including those of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and other gulf states). And, yes, Hussein DID sabotage the oil wells after the first gulf war.
