Some people have the opinion that US itself created Usama bin Laden as a terrorist to get the legitimacy to impose war against Afghanistan and Iraq. As President Bush Senior Used Saddam Hussain in 1991 to drop US forces in Gulf to occupy oil.
I want to get your unbiased opinion. Please do not be emotional if you have difference of opinion.

It is really a sensitive matter. I am not sure about about the things but it is a reality that Usama was trained by CIA and he got lot of support from USA in term of money, weapons etc. when he was fighting against USSR in Afghanistan. I have also this belief that after USSR, USA badly needed an enemy to fight against. It was a political and strategic need of USA, so may be they hired the services of USAMA. Because the way his organization did terrorism is not allowed in Islam. Al-qaida strikes the innocent people which is not allowed in Islam. I believe it was a big conspiracy to give the bad name to Islam and Muslims. It this way USA justify his and his baby's (Israel) terrorist activities in the world.

He wasn't an American agent. However, he was trained by the CIA. The USSR was invading Afghanistan. Obviously, the U.S. didn't want another communist nation. U.S. sends CIA to train people to fight against the USSR. CIA trains Bin Laden. In what ways though?
Basically in every method that his terrorists are doing right now. Well, minus the suicide part, but basically the aspect of using explosives and bombs he learned from the CIA.
This was during the Cold War when the USSR was still around. Circa before the first Gulf War.

He WAS an american agent in Afghanistan against the Russians to help stop the spread of communism. That is why Afghanistan was the first place the American's attacked Afghanistan in the first place. So, it is very possible that he somehow maintained a relationship, but to say that Usama was in cahoots after he helped plan the twin towers is far fetched.

He was during Daddy Bush's regime and according to the book Fortunate Son by James H Hatfield. The bin Ladens and the Bush's have been close friends and business partners up untill lil' George's oil company "Arbusto" went ar"Bust"o and left the bin Laden family holding a large amount of worthless stock.
You usually have to order the book. The book was yanked from the shelf before the 2000 fiasco and James H Hatfield was found dead in a hotel room... it's been officially decided to call it a suicide.

Bin Laden.... an "agent" of American interests, hmmm. I don't think so. Did he personally receive U.S. military training.... No. He knew how to raise money to fund an ongoing fight while our military trained taliban fighters to keep the Soviets at bay.
The reason we went to Afghanistan first... because Bin Laden decided to use his power for evil instead of good and kill 3000 Americans whose "crime" it was to live and work in prosperous society and the additional crime of being "western"... thats why we are in Afghanistan.... hell, even the French didn't oppose Afghanistan, what does that tell ya?
