Answer 1

it seems damned strange to me that the F,B,I, has said all along that O,B,L, had nothing to do with the bombing of the W,T,C, yet some of you people still claim he was the one responsible, don't you think the F.B.I. has more knowledge about what happened than we do? sure G,W.B, has maintained that O.B.L. is guilty, he also said Saddam had all of these W,M,D, Chemical and Biological weapons all of this info was gave to him supposedly by the Israeli Mossad who Georgie said had men inside Iraq and verified their existence, now no one remembers these statements why???
our author ties released over 150 Israeli"s after this bombing and they all had failed the lie detector test gave to them by the F,B,I, why, ?? this within it self smells to high heaven , I wonder if this is another cover up same as the cover up for the U,S,S, Liberty? if not then why has the F.B.I. NOT SAID WHO THEY THINK IS THE GUILTY PARTY?? OR CAN THEY ? CERTAIN PEOPLE SEEM TO BE ABOVE THE LAW , CAN YOU GUESS WHO????

Answer 2

What does it matter? He served a purpose. He provided the administration with a CAUSE. Do you remember the constant drum beat from cheney & bush about "wanted dead or live" ? We put on a half hearted attemp in Afganistan, a prelude for the invasion of Iraq. Why did we invade Iraq? I don't remember. Was it Saddam's butchering of his people? A good cause for sure, but I doubt it. Many other dictators in the world doing the same thing, only on a greater scale(darfur). We didn't get involved there. No oil. After the invasion of Iraq, we dismissed the Bin Laden hunt for all practical purposes. Bin Laden served his purpose. If you remember, not one word about Hussien being responsible for the attack on America, at the time(9/11).

Answer 3

certain Osama claimed duty quickly after al-Qaeda replaced into expelled from Afghanistan. i'd say that ninety% of the yank human beings watched bin weighted down take duty and there are a sort of naive childrens that were nevertheless pooping of their diapers even as it handed off claiming that he did not do it, yet human beings from Saudi Arabia did it. this is gloomy that they teens are not from now on knowledgeable any better than this. it is a darn shame... no newborn might want to even go away grade college with such lack of information, a lot less intense college.

Answer 4

It may be that he was not involved in the terrorist attacks on 9/11. It may have been another group of terrorists, some say it was the White House itself. It may also be the fact that he didn't want to take responsibility for it, knowing that the U.S. would try to hunt him down.

Answer 5

Maybe it was his one chance to try and say he wasn't responsible. Though, judging from the enormous amounts of evidence, he's not responsible @ all. I don't think 19idiots w/ boxcutters could outsmart a $40Billion/yr air defense. Especially since 8 of those alleged hijackers are still alive and well.

Answer 6

The only thing better than getting a shot at the all powerful enemy is getting that shot and passing the buck to the leaders of that enemy.

Answer 7

From the moment 9/11 happened, Al qaeda had admitted it, and so the justifications and strong evidence by suicide bombers..Only conspiracy theorists keep on insisting about their baseless theories and hallucinations. I doubt this a product of rich Arabs and governments who paid big sums of money to PR companies to restored their damaged image here in the US and Europe...

Answer 8

Cause he knows where the laser dot is pointed. Denying he hopes would make the US point that thing else where.

Answer 9

He was lying, A muslim is under no responsiblity to tell the truth to infidels.

Answer 10

dude, he has claimed all along he did it. there is even a freaking video of him bragging and laughing about it. he never denied a darn thing about it..you are just saying that to start a new conspiracy...you must understand one thing, numbskull, we got your number, ok?
