Bin Laden plays Bush and the neocons like a finely tuned instrument.

Americans knew that was the idea during the first day of 9/11. So, what happened to Bin Laden that day? $450 million of Bin Laden's assets were frozen solid. Did it bankrupt Bin Laden? Yes, and he had to get funds through another means.
Back home, here in America, the stock market trading was suspended for one week, then when trading resumed, One Trillion Dollars was lost the first week. DId it bankrupt us? Nope.
Since 9/11, America had a housing market boom, has been seeing a rise in the stock market with the Dow over 15, 000, we are flying so much that the airlines have bounced back and are raising prices, vacations are up, and the cost of gas is 3 times higher than it was during 9/11. Of course the war is in the billions, but we have that money. In fact, our billion-dollar military jets are flying high, and the new F-22 Raptor is the ultimate flying wapon in the world.
Bin Laden will die someday (if not already). He can't be as important as you think because there is only a $50 Million tag on his head- dead or alive, and America will continue to fight the war on terror. We can afford it.

No Bush used Bin Laden as excuse to steal the Iraqi oil

It is not Bin Laden's fault we are in all of these wars. We did not have to go to war but our government decided to. We are not even after Bin Laden any more.

So, the attack on the WTC wasn't enough evidence?
PBS doesn't have a monopoly on figuring out bin Laden.

Bin Laden's plan?
Try Israel's plan... the problem is, they are a parasite in danger of killing its host.

I knew it from 2001. The only way to break us is through the wallet.
But you know what happens to people when they dare contradict Fuhrer and his "war on terrorism."

The purpose of terrorism is to reveal the teeth behind the handshake.

I would think there is a basic understanding. I've heard this other places and PBS. Maybe someone should inform the warmongers.
