I love this conspiracy theory

because I just came up with it. :)

It's a hostile takeover business deal.

bin Laden attacked on 9/11 for one purpose: To destroy George W. Bush and all associated with him. He knew - KNEW - that Bush Jr. would destroy himself after such an event; given the close ties between the Families, Bush would be so conflicted that he wouldn't even begin to be effective in any kind of 'Terror War.' The futile rip-assing Bush would undertake, Osama knew, would be so silly and dangerous that he would destroy himself. And so much for dividing the profits.

Whose house? Run's house.

1. one problem

bin Laden attacked on 9/11 for one purpose: To destroy George W. Bush and all associated with him.

The attack was years in the making. But replace GWB with USA and it fits.

6. Didn't they meet in the Philippines in January 2000?

I think I just read that this week, the guy they just captured said they started planning this in January 2000.

8. Occam's Double-Edged Razor

The first WTC bombing was on Clinton's watch. If you suppose that was meant to fail as some epicycle to an epicycle to a conspiracy theory, why even blame al-Qaeda when there's perfectly good Freemasons to do the job?

9. you gloss over it ONCE AGAIN

since it was nearly one month after Clinton took office, you can hardly say that it was a failure on Clinton's part

Also, this is post Gulf War, so there's a lot of credibility behind the notion that the attack was because of the continued presence of military bases in Saudi.

Also, this site describes an intentional lack of FBI effort when it came to pre-WTC'93 terrorism prevention...an FBI RUN by GW Bush (12 years of Repuke FBI control wiped out in a month by Clinton? I seriously doubt it)

Now, I know you folks are in a panic like chickens with their heads cut off, but Bush is going down!!!!!!!!!!!

4. hahah

oh yeah? makes perfect sense considering George's father was the one who soiled the holy land with US military filth. Makes sense that he'd have it in for the Dim Son.

2. Interesting

I agree with you in part. I do believe bin Laden hit us because he hates the BushCo. Unfortunately, Bush hasn't gone down yet and it has been nearly 2 years. i only hope that bin Laden doesn't decide to hit again to force the issue.

7. I'm thinking its a trap

Bush & Co are following the gameplan set up by Bin Laden. That is, to go it alone, piss off the world and become isolated. This gives other countries a chance to show leadership, grow less dependent on the US, and of course, this will eventually have an effect on the US economy.

10. i've always worried that it wasn't only OBL...

Edited on Sun Jul-13-03 02:10 AM by bpilgrim

the rest of the world ain't stupid and they know how 'successful' we have been by fighting proxy wars via TERRORIST/TERRORISM and then exploiting the OBVIOUS weak yet hostile newly selected regime.

that's my biggest fear...

i hope it's all just a tsunami of errors by this incompetent admin that will easily be righted once they are removed.

:hi:

peace

11. I'm sure they didn't anticipate that they would be lionizing W.

Whatever the truth, one assumes OBL and his crowd never in their wildest imagined that the attacks would be the one thing that would propel Shrubbies ratings into the stratosphere, and make him a very difficult challenge to unseat.

And now that have an American public that is putty in the hands of the RW fascists.

The whole fucking thing has backfired on them as far as I can see.
