| Could Bin be alive ? So all in all the war in Afghanistan is lost... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.guardian.co.uk/afghanistan/story/0,1284,738779,00.html Dispersed al-Qaida poses even bigger terror threat, US says David Teather in New York Monday June 17, 2002 The Guardian The routing of Taliban and al-Qaida forces in Afghanistan has only succeeded in deepening the terrorist threat to the west, senior US government officials believe. The war disrupted Osama bin Laden's network but spread the threat around the world, according to a classified report. This seems to be borne out by the recent attacks on US and European interests, including the car bomb which killed 12 people outside the US consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, on Friday. An FBI official said yesterday that the bomb could have been exploded by remote control, rather than the less sophisticated means of a suicide bomber ramming the van involved into a concrete barrier, as first reported. According to an official quoted in yesterday's New York Times the war has brought forward a group of mid-level agents working with terrorist groups in Islamic states. "Al Qaida at its core was really a small group, even though thousands of people went through their [its] camps," he said. "What we're seeing now is a radical international jihad that will be a potent force for many years to come." The Washington Post reported that three al-Qaida members arrested in Morocco last month were said to have told officials there that in December Bin Laden ordered his fighters to spread across the globe to attack "American and Jewish interests". They said they were heading to Morocco to make suicide attacks on US and British warships in the Strait of Gibraltar with speed boats. US officials believe a loose alliance of terrorist groups is as capable as al-Qaida of planning and carrying out attacks as powerful as those on September 11. Makeshift alliances have been formed with militant groups in Pakistan, Egypt and Algeria, the report says. The FBI has identified at least seven al Qaida operatives they believe have the skill and authority to plan and carry out attacks. They are said to have assumed greater responsibility since the central command in Afghanistan was badly damaged by US and allied forces. · Audio cassettes containing messages from the fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, saying he is safe, and from other clerics, were put outside governments offices, hotels and houses in Kandahar on Friday night, travellers to Pakistan said.15 |

| The US could have captured Bin Laden but instead we did not want people to know that our administration knew about these events ahead of time also we wanted revenge on someone and OIL which we will always shed innocent blood for. There is a good book people should read written by a french author called Bin Laden the Forbidden Truth. In it the book basically describes many thing that the mainstream media has refused to reveal. In it the book says that when the bush administration came into office the administration on the behalf of an oil company brought Taliban officials here (a country the US supposdly had no ties to) to arbitrate a building of a pipe line through afghanistan. The taliban refused to allow a pipline because instead of just a one time payment for purchase of the land etc they also wanted limited access to the oil for the people of Afghanistan. The oil company and bush officials refused they told the Taliban diplomats that either there country "would be carpeted in gold or bombs" these book as documents to prove these events transpired. Now if we take this meeting into account do you remember a couple days after 9/11 the Taliban offered to give bin laden up if the US could show some sort of evidence that he had committed this crime. The US refused we know now that at the time they had evidence. Our basic response was we told them to jump they should say how high. This is not how the world works this is not how our country works when a crime is committed you need evidence to prusue the suspect (at least theortically not if Ashcroft had his way) So at that time had we shown this evidence we could have had him. We know now that they evidence was not sensitive most likely we did not give it to them because at the time how bad would it have looked if it was leaked that the Bush administration knew about hijackings happening. So we decided to lie about our knowlege of 9/11 and go to war. In the process we kolled 5,000-6,000 civilians destablized a country created more impovershment and backed drug trafficiking unjust northern alliance officials for what reason did we do this? 1) because we did not want our people to know at the time we had knowledge of these attacks ahead of time 2)People wanted revenge on some one and a 3rd world country is always an easy target 3) we wanted to uproot a islamic state that did not follow our orders and capture osama 4) and probably one of the most important reason we wanted a nice new pipe line. Well congratulations US we got revenge uprooted an Islamic state and will have oil a little cheaper at the price of 5.000 innocent peoples blood. Although we failed our "true purpose" finding Bin Laden when we could have had him in september we did accompish a lot |
