bin Laden had got plenty of attention before 9/11.

No one did anything much about him because no one
expected him to be able to organise something like 9/11.

Yeah who'd a thunk that merely because he was busy with the Cole
and those bombings of the Africam embassies and also had a piece
of WTC I, he would be able to actually pull off something like this.

Yep, the simultaneous hijacking of 5 aircraft in the US and doing that with
them was quite a step up from anything he had previously been involved in.

Thats the main thing that makes it unlikely that it was JUST bin Laden involved in 9/11
apart from the fools that actually put their pathetic excuses for 'lives' on the line.

Boggles the mind that anyone would think that.

Once the "heat" starts lookin' at you, it is a whole other
story. Maybe Osama had help with 9/11. maybe not.

Its unlikely that whoever organised it expected the
towers to implode as spectacularly as they did.

True. Although he had killed a few people before the towers
went down but nothing to get all that excited about, huh?

There were attempts to do something about the embassing bombings
particularly, but it wasnt that easy to pin those on bin Laden particularly.

They did go after those who could be proven to have been involved in WTC I.

Maybe it was just a coincidence that the
neo-cons got just what they were prayin' for.

Yep, thats what happened.

Of course most of the prelude and almost all of the
planning took place before Bush, et al, took office.

Yep, nothing to do with Bush at all except what was done with the justification of 9/11 after that.
