Why did GWB help bin Laden? |

I never could figure out why dubya rewarded Osama, by invading Iraq. Talk about a gift. Wow.
Like Rummy says, "Some things are just not knowable". :o

The bin Ladins are the second wealthiest family in Saudi Arabia, behind the Sauds. It is reported that the Bushes have struck deals with Osama's brothers in the past. 9/11 was their way of getting Bush's attention, and saying "yes we like your neocons."

5. Well, the families have been in business together and friends for 30 years |

OBL's reward for allowing Bush to pretend that OBL did 9-11 was removing our bases from Saudi Arabia. That was the deal. OBL was dying of a terminal illness so he wouldn't be hunted, but he got what he asked for.
