Why did Bush allow the Bin Laden family to fly out on 10/11 when all other planes were grounded?

Question

This is a question which has never been answered, and which everyone I know has been wondering about ever since. Why, would the family of a major sponsor of terrosim be given special permission by Bush to fly out of America the day after the biggest atrocity against humanity and American citizens occured?,apparently orchestrated by their family member. And why has Bin Laden been allowed to vanish behind the radar?. How come we never hear about him. Why did they not invade Saudi, since the hijackers were all from Saudi Arabia? Anyone got any answers?

Answer 1

I have no answers because the idiot running my country hasn't seen fit to give us the answers yet. He spews lies and the ramblings of an idiot but do we get any real info out of him??? NEVER!!!!The next year and a half can not go fast enough. Hopefully he doesn't do too much more damage to us. Bush not Bin Laden. I am not worried about the terrorists, they only hurt a few Americans Bush hurts millions of us every day and yet he still pretends to run our country.

Answer 2

The question is based on a slightly flawed assumption. Many "special people" flew out immediately after 9/11(you might want to edit your date). Including several members of the Saudi Royal Family. I am agreeing with you, but it's important to get the facts, because with one tiny error, some loudmouth will say, "wrong about a detail, wrong entirely".

The official line is that there would have been severe retribution against certain peoples.

We didn't invade Saudi Arabia because none of the members of the Royal Family were hijackers, and we do the best with what we get. I would be greatly surprised if some of the hijackers families had not quietly disappeared. Saud has been paying off the mullahs to not cause problems in the kingdom, and haven't seemed to care what kind of terrorism that money funded. That is why the families couldn't be publicly humiliated, because the mullahs would have stirred up trouble in the kingdom.

And the mullahs are forming strategic alliances now with military powers of the extremist branch outside the kingdom to take over the kingdom. Give it a couple of years, and an effort will have been made.

Answer 3

Michael Moore is not always right you know! No matter how entertaining his film was, there were some major flaws in his film which is only his interpretation of the events of 9/11.

What do you think should have happened to the family of Bin Laden? There has never been any proof that his relatives were involoved in the attacks of 9/11.

And not all 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. Some were from other countries like Egypt and just because a criminal or terrorist comes from a specific country it does not mean that the entire country is responsible!

Saudi-Arabia is (still) considered a friendly nation to the US (the government of Saudi Arabia not the people of course). So no reason for attacking them!

Answer 4

This has actually been answered many times. That portion of Bin Laden's family has been cooperating with the U.S. government long before 9/11 and they don't agree with his ideas or methods. Bin Laden no longer considers some of them his family for their beliefs. The U.S. got them out of the country to protect them, much of his family has been a very good source of intelligence on him.


EDIT: as for your saudi arabia question, it is another question that has been answered over and over again but no one seems to listen

The stated goal of the Iraq war was NEVER has a direct response or retaliation for 9/11. Only the action in Afghanistan was a direct response for 9/11. The Saudi government was very cooperative with the U.S. after 9/11 and is our semi ally. They was no direct link between the Saudi state and the Saudi citizens that hijacked the planes. There are millions of reasons why Saudi Arabia was not invaded, I hope the few I gave were enough.

Answer 5

While I question the decision to allow the Bin-Laden family from a political standpoint. It was the right decision from a moral standpoint. There would have been great danger to their lives to remain in America. Further, an entire family should not be held responsible for the actions of one.

We did not invade Suadia Arabia because we could not prove any direct involvement in 911 by the Saudi government. We invaded Afghanistan because that was the headquarters of Al Queda with the express consent and protection of the ruling Taliban government. Contrary to popular belief by many, 911 was not stated as factor in the decision to invade Iraq.

Bin-Laden is hiding, and apparently doing a very good job of it. The world is a very big place. If you wonder why Bin-Laden is not in custody, then you need to ask why when given his location several times, and even when provided with an offer from a foreign government to turn him over to us, did the Clinton administration fail to take any action.

Answer 6

Bush is extremely close to the Bin Laden family.
Bush W.'s first buisness partner was a Bin Laden.
Bush'es father was meeting with Shafik Bin Laden on 9/11

Sudia Aribia took out a television ad run on American television reminding us of how much money they had invested in the US and how they were not to be messed with.

more fun reading.

Their official line is that the Bin Ladens are above suspicion - apart from Osama, the black sheep, who they say hijacked the family name. That's fortunate for the Bush family and the Saudi royal household, whose links with the Bin Ladens could otherwise prove embarrassing. But Newsnight has obtained evidence that the FBI was on the trail of other members of the] Bin Laden family for links to terrorist organisations before and after September 11th.

This document is marked "Secret". Case ID - 199-Eye WF 213 589. 199 is FBI code for case type. 9 would be murder. 65 would be espionage. 199 means national security. WF indicates Washington field office special agents were investigating ABL - because of it's relationship with the World Assembly of Muslim Youth, WAMY - a suspected terrorist organisation. ABL is Abdullah Bin Laden, president and treasurer of WAMY.

This is the sleepy Washington suburb of Falls Church, Virginia where almost every home displays the Stars and Stripes. On this unremarkable street, at 3411 Silver Maple Place, we located the former home of Abdullah and another brother, Omar, also an FBI suspect. It's conveniently close to WAMY. The World Assembly of Muslim Youth is in this building, in a little room in the basement at 5613 Leesburg Pike. And here, just a couple blocks down the road at 5913 Leesburg, is where four of the hijackers that attacked New York and Washington are listed as having lived.

The US Treasury has not frozen WAMY's assets, and when we talked to them, they insisted they are a charity. Yet, just weeks ago, Pakistan expelled WAMY operatives. And India claimed that WAMY was funding an organisation linked to bombings in Kashmir. And the Philippines military has accused WAMY of funding Muslim insurgency. The FBI did look into WAMY, but, for some reason, agents were pulled off the trail.

Answer 7

Bin Laden is a rebel child of a very rich saudi family. Just because Bin Laden was behind it, doesn't mean that his family was or that they knew about it (and all indicators show that they didn't).

However, can you imagine the persecution they would have faced by many arrogant and stupid americans?

They were innocent....and most likely would have been victimized. They were flown to safty. That was the right decision.

Answer 8

flow watch your action picture lower back. The bin weighted down family members did no longer fly in another united states of america whilst no person else ought to. F-9/11 does not even say that this surpassed off, although maximum people who watched it believe that that's what Moore reported. In F-9/11, Moore needless to say states that the bin weighted down's did no longer go away till 9/13 - AFTER the ban have been lifted. He means that they have got been allowed to go away throughout the return and forth ban, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that that's no longer real and he does not say it, although he's successfuly made you think of he did.

Answer 9

because if that hadn't they would have been hung in are streets. second the bin laden family as a whole doesn't sponsor terrorism and we cant annihilate a country a few of their citizens feel

Answer 10

Sssssshhhh!...you don't wana ask questions that upset the government....This is just one of the questions in a very long list that remained unanswered...points towards a conspiracy...Americans can't handle the facts...they just prefer to accept whatever bull their government feeds em.
