A question for Osama Bin Laden: Did you or didn't you do it?

[mopaul]

the white house says you did it, but i'm not convinced mr. bin laden.
i'd like to hear it from your own mouth, because our leader as you know is a congenital liar.

i've seen some grainy tapes, purporting to be you, stating some connection, or at least celebrating the twin towers attacks. is that really you? did you really claim responsibility? did you really do it, or not sir?

1. My question would be -

Is Al Qaeda better off today than it was 4 years ago?

2. in all the confusion after 9/11. . .

I remember OBL issueing a statement wherein he denied responsibility. * demanded that the Taliban hand over OBL to the US. The Taliban denied having him. Then came OBL's praise of the attacks. Then we invaded Afghanistan.

Does anyone else remember OBL's initial denial? I thought it quite odd at the time for someone who had encouraged a Jihad against America, not wanting to take full credit.

3. i've never seen bin laden, but the bush's know them personally

why doesn't bin laden step out in front of a live camera somewhere and reveal to us that he is an actual living person at least?

i'd like to see him make an appearance other than some 10 year old grainy videos of him strolling around. i'm beginning to suspect that there IS NO osama.

only the bush family, and the bin laden family knows for sure. they go back for decades. they are real tight. but few know this.

7. Interesting thought

4. I don't remember that, but

Since my daughter was born last year, my memory has been shot to hell... (and I'm an atheist!)

I do remember we asked the Taliban to hand him over and I thought they said they would be happy to hand him over if we showed evidence of Osama's guilt to the Taliban, and then Bush's response was that the terms were unconditional.

5. Strange indeed

plus the fact that Bush Senior was meeting his brother on that very day hmmmmmm...

And why did the pictures of all 19 hijackers appeared on TV almost immediately? How did the media know who the real hijackers were that fast?

I don't think Osama ever took responsibility for 9/11. He first denied it and then praised the attacks several times, but he never took responsibility.

6. I am extremely doubtful he is guilty

There is nothing from his past to indicate he had the
technological/logistical wherewithal to pull this off.
Who had the willingness and ability to spearhead 911?: Cheney, Wolfy, Rummy, Papy Bush, Pearl, Rice, Bush, Sharon.
The same people who have done everything possible to
prevent an investigation, of course.
