Its not a (what if) its how can we prove it?That governments have permitted terrorist acts against their own people, and have even themselves been perpetrators in order to find strategic advantage is quite likely true, but this is the United States we're talking about.
That intelligence agencies, financiers, terrorists and narco-criminals have a long history together is well established, but the Nugan Hand Bank, BCCI, Banco Ambrosiano, the P2 Lodge, the CIA/Mafia anti-Castro/Kennedy alliance, Iran/Contra and the rest were a long time ago, so there’s no need to rehash all that. That was then, this is now!
That Jonathan Bush’s Riggs Bank has been found guilty of laundering terrorist funds and fined a US-record $25 million must embarrass his nephew George, but it's still no justification for leaping to paranoid conclusions.
That George Bush's brother Marvin sat on the board of the Kuwaiti-owned company which provided electronic security to the World Trade Centre, Dulles Airport and United Airlines means nothing more than you must admit those Bush boys have done alright for themselves.
That George Bush found success as a businessman only after the investment of Osama’s brother Salem and reputed al Qaeda financier Khalid bin Mahfouz is just one of those things - one of those crazy things.
That Osama bin Laden is known to have been an asset of US foreign policy in no way implies he still is.
That al Qaeda was active in the Balkan conflict, fighting on the same side as the US as recently as 1999, while the US protected its cells, is merely one of history's little aberrations.
The claims of Michael Springman, State Department veteran of the Jeddah visa bureau, that the CIA ran the office and issued visas to al Qaeda members so they could receive training in the United States, sound like the sour grapes of someone who was fired for making such wild accusations.

First of all, President Bush would never support a terrorist. Period.
Second of all, if the USA really wanted to control Persia and the Middle East, we would. We have the man power, the fire power and the will power. Basically, we have the power.
We don't WANT the Middle East or Persia. We simply want to be left alone and if some arrogant people who SAID they attacked for religious reasons had left us alone, we wouldn't be there now! We also wouldn't have sent food and medical supplies to those nations, we wouldn't have helped those nations get back on their feet or help them set up better governments of their own choosing.
The USA and the Middle East are having the largest "sibling rivalry" fight in history. The USA is the youngest of all nations, basically, and the Middle East ones are the oldest and are jealous that "little brother" has more toys than they have! We have more because of our political beliefs. We don't hold people back because of their rank in society.
Sam Walton was a farmer until the day he died. He was also the founder and owner of Wal-Mart and one of the richest men in the world. How many other countries can claim the same freedom to grow when they were in their adolescence? We are a young country made up of PEOPLE from EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THIS WORLD!
Every one of us is important to this country and we are as concerned for other countries as anyone else is, and sometimes more so, because we ARE made up of people from all the other countries.
I have an older sister that has the same problem and there are times I would like to slap the silliness out of her, but she is as entitled to her opinion as I or anyone else is - including Osama! That is the AMERICAN WAY! We respect the right of every person to have their own opinions and beliefs - but that doesn't mean we have to sit back and let others walk all over us because they have interpreted their religion in such a way that it says to them "go out and kill Americans and their allies." People's rights end when they use them irresposibly thinking that because they have their right to believe, then they have a right to act and hurt others in so doing. That gives the trampled the right to defend and to ensure it doesn't happen again - to us or anyone else.
That is the USA. We might not like what Osama believes and what he does in his beliefs, but we will be there to help the others in his country. Why? They are family to someone in our country which makes them family to all of us. It will always be the same for whoever needs our help and we will always respond the same when someone tries to shove their beliefs down our throats especially by cowardly acts that hurt innocent people. We don't go looking for fights, but we won't back down from any that are brought to our doorstep and it will be a frozen day in Hades before we even think about turning the other cheek and getting it slapped just as hard.
THAT and ONLY THAT is the reason President Bush picked up the guantlet and smashed it back in the face of terrorism and said "NO MORE!"
We don't want Persia and the Middle East. We've got enough problems just dealing with the day to day goings on in America - you know, hurricanes, volcanoes, earth quakes, drive-bys, clogged arteries from fast food, Michael Jackson's nose, Brad Pitt's love life. With all that, what do we need Persia for? Thought so!

State wanted to keep the pro-American Saudi royal family in control of the world's biggest oil spigot, even at the price of turning a blind eye to any terrorist connection so long as America was safe. In recent years, CIA operatives had other reasons for not exposing Saudi-backed suspects.
there's always been constraints on investigating Saudis, under George Bush it's gotten much worse. After the elections, the agencies were told to "back off" investigating the Bin Ladens and Saudi royals, and that angered agents. I'm told that since September 11th the policy has been reversed. FBI headquarters told us they could not comment on our findings. A spokesman said: "There are lots of things that only the intelligence community knows and that no-one else ought to know.
***Allowing the fair expression will eventually end terrorism.***

Bush did not support Osama.
He supported the CIA. No Muslims were involved in any way
It was an inside job, perpetrated by the US government
See below for details.

Osama didn't need to do anything. The USA has had millions of reasons for years to bomb the hell out of the Middle East.
