Osama Bin Laden: U.S
built 199 days ago
The Houston Chronicle ran a series of articles starting in June 4, 1992 which attempted to follow the Bush oil investment trail, only to discover what are now seen as financial ties to capitalistic terrorist, Osama bin Laden. According to the Chronicle, entrepreneur James R. Bath, a man involved in CIA proprietaries, guided money to Bush oil firms from Saudi investors in hopes of influencing U.S. policy under President Reagan and Vice President Bush. He brought more than the bin Laden Brothers, to include players from CIA money laundering conduites via the BCCI scandal.

Bin Laden's whereabouts remain mystery: U.S. officials still do not know where Osama bin Laden is, but capturing the al Qaeda leader isn't a prime mission of the Bush administration, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Sunday. (24 Feb 2002, CNN)

Suppose Osama bin Laden is discovered in a country outside of Afghanistan and the government of that country allows him to stay in that country and refuses to try to capture him. Do you think the U.S. should rely on military force -- or non-military measures -- to try to bring bin Laden to justice?

Bin Laden helped the Taliban with money, troops and expertise and they allowed him to set up his terrorist training centers there. In 1998, the Taliban regime even declared that bin Laden was innocent in the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania; it ... rejected any claims of his culpability in the bombing of the USS Cole in October 2000.

Although results of the Abt study would seem to completely contradict the directive, the VA seemed about as willing to accept this evidence as the Taliban was disposed to turning over Osama bin Laden to the U.S. government. The fact remains from this study and elsewhere that the initial recommendations from the VA were incompatible with an emerging body of credible scientific evidence.

In building this terror network, bin Laden has been able to assemble a coalition of disparate radical Islamist groups of varying nationalities to work towards the common goal of the expulsion of non-Muslim Forces and influence from Muslim-inhabited lands. The virulent ideological variant of Islam, enshrined in several pronouncements signed by bin Laden and his network of terror, has led him to support Islamist terrorists against Serb forces in Bosnia; against the Russian forces in Chechnya; against Indian forces in Jammu and Kashmir; Chinese forces in Xinjiang, pro-Western governments in Egypt, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, and Uzbekistan, and against U.S. troops and citizens in the Persian Gulf, Somalia, Yemen, Jordan, and the U.S. mainland itself.
