The FBI Can’t Link Bin Laden to 9/11? Why Is This Not News?

    There’s no “hard evidence” to link to Bin Laden because he had nothing to do with it. All the evidence, hard or circumstantial, ultimately links to George Herbert Walker Bush. As long as he owns the country, no one in a position to will do anything about it. Now that people are finding out, they’re going to have to do something spectacular to get the terror story moving again. Say good bye to New York.

    The average American citizen doesn’t realize that America as a nation state needs to maintain certain conditions that maintain its super power status in the world – energy, weapons, and economics (petrodollar monopoly) – which is needed to sustain the world’s highest standard of living, is easier spun by the government into an “US vs Them”, chasing down terrorists with no questions asked. George W. Bush is as much a puppet president as much as Bin Laden is a phantom menace for a shadow government that controls democracy with absolute power.

    Where the government failed is not that they lied, but they got caught; and with the relatively new era of the Internet, people have the power to talk about it without being filtered by the bought out media. (what comes in the future is bombardment of garbage media and propaganda AI bots).

    http://www.fbi.gov/congress/congress02/watson020602.htm - FTA: “However, as the events of September 11 demonstrated with horrible clarity, the United States also confronts serious challenges from international terrorists. The transnational Al-Qaeda terrorist network headed by Usama Bin Laden has clearly emerged as the most urgent threat to U.S. interests. The evidence linking Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden to the attacks of September 11 is clear and irrefutable.”

    Keep in mind that Al Capone was jailed for Tax Evasion. Was there a conspiracy on the FBI’s part? They knew that he did more than evade taxes, but they couldn’t pin anything on him. The evidence that Osama was connected is there, but it isn’t evidence that could get him convicted.

    There is no conspiracy here. Mostly there are a bunch of whining idiots trying to find a way to blame their government for anything. It is too bad that many people here will embrace some conspiracy instead of recognizing the exigencies of war. Sure the War on Terror is silly, but they had to do something. We will never truly win this war because there will forever be people like those commenting here that never come to undestand that some people don’t like us. They don’t like because we are free to be idiots. They don’t like us because we are free to make really bad mistakes.

    Not least of those mistakes is our belief that “they” will recognize that “freedom” is better than Tyranny.

    I used to be into that 911truth shit, but then I just stepped back and realized that there were flaws in their thinking.

    “It is not news because US mainstream Media is owned by very rich supporters of the government who do not want the US people to know anything about what is happening politically.”

    And I’m sick of people saying shit like that. If you want to change this country go out and do something more than be on fucking digg.com all day in order to post meaningless comments.

    “They don’t like us” because we take their resources and we give them a bankrupt fiat currency to pay them for their miraculous liquid energy you can just pump out of the ground. But that’s not why we’re in Iraq… we’re there chasing terrorists, since by obvious logic, Bin Laden is a terrorist, Saddam is in Iraq, and Saddam is a terrorist, therefore, all terrorists are in Iraq, DUH!?

    I am pretty certain we can still blame Bin Laden, whether or not there’s “hard proof.” If somebody else did it, they would have spoken up by now. You don’t commit such an act without a long, preachy speech to follow it up. If the government was behind it, the FBI wouldn’t be giving us this insight.

    I wouldn’t be surprised that we have no hard evidence. It’s not like he left fingerprints or anything on the WTC site. There’s tons of hard evidence that the hijackers pulled off 9/11. And there’s hard evidence linking those hijackers to Al-Qaeda. There’s also hard evidence linking Al-Qaeda, to Bin Laden.

    That’s the connection. You people are completely misinterpreting this. The fact of the matter is Osama Bin Laden did not pull off 9/11. He simply leads the group that did. And has confessed to it.

    the tape doesn’t count because Bin Laden never officially took credit for 9/11 – which is rare because every other terrorist attack he was responsible for, he took credit for immediately afterwards.

    the tapes in question are just him expressing his approval for the actions taken in 9/11, not claiming responsibility.

    Well, all of you Republican liars can go and suck my dick. Everyone living outside of your silly darn country knows that it’s just George W. Bush going after the oil and since most of the redneck Americans are just stupid shitpricks, no-one gives a rat’s ass about what he is doing. Power, yeah, you want to be the world police? Come here then and I will kick your sorry asses. You want to have all the resources and take down every little piece of shit that disagrees with your old and mighty emporium? Ha, how about just a reality check from time to time. Half of the world hates you, dumfucks. No reason, we just do. Or.. It might have something to do with your policies, like ignoring the UN and just starting your own wars. Who the fuck gives a shit about the rest of the world, when you have George and his mighty powers?! Come on, blow the whole fucking world up, you still got the nukes so come on… I dare you, you fucking monkeys.

    To brad tittle:

    They never did pin anything of import on Al Capone, now did they? They couldn’t because he was smarter than the cops.

    But that’s neither here nor there.

    You say the war on terror is silly. No sir, it’s not silly at all. Its cost, so far, is past $500 billion (http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/1121/p01s03-usmi.html — sorry, it’s an old link — I’m not really in the mood to do more fishing for you) and 3,679 American lives (http://www.icasualties.org/oif/BY_DOD.aspx) so far. I’m not laughing. And if you’re laughing then your as heartless and cruel as Bush and Cheney.

    People speaking their minds about their opposition to how America’s reaction to what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, can’t lose a war, you idiot, and to attack those of us exercising our FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS marks you as a terrorist.

    good to see the truth starting to seep into mainstream america. no UBL is not listed as the FBI as even a suspect; shouldnt that tip-off anyone? instead look at what the PTB has gained from their war of terror and look at what you have. it’s not even close.

    Here’s an idea on how to try and clear up the issue on why the FBI did not include 9/11 on Osama’s Wanted Poster: Call the FBI and ask why.

    Any questions or comments you have on the matter would be best referred to them as they and only they can answer from a position of authority on this matter. Nearly anyone else’s answer to the question would come off as speculative.

    LOL, you guys crack me up. Watch Loose Change, or shut up. We need a Big Banner to hang over Ground Zero that says, “JET FUEL CAN’T MELT STEEL. PERIOD.” It’s F**king Science you monkey tards. If someone wants to go ahead and show me one circumstance where they can heat burning jet fuel to a temperature that would weaken steel, please be my guest, until then, shut up.

    We need MythBusters to tackle this since the 911 commission was too busy assisting in a cover up.

    Wait a second, something doesn’t mesh here. In 2001, the US Government claimed Bin Laden was behind the attacks. The FBI poured more resources into the 9/11 investigation than anything prior. The UK came to the same conclusion. Bin Laden himself admitted to his involvement in 04. Later that year Bin Laden says he trained the hijackers. They even have video of Bin Laden with some of the hijackers prior to the attacks. So why would Tomb say there’s no hard evidence? I mean we invaded Afghanistan looking for Bin Laden (among other things). OH I see. This is all circumstantial evidence.

    People use your brain this is just a dumb ass story, basing all your facts from an HTML page. Dont be simple minded, if you can read you can think and now think about what you just read. Does the theorist use good and solid logic? Does the writer provide you with hard facts? Because to me this is the dumbest theory yet. Dont you think if the FBI or the government was trying to cover this up that they would removed the details about the boomings in Africa and just have something like “Wanted for terrorist attacks around the world.”

    Thank for yourself, dont follow the guy with the biggest bullhorn.

    Oh to answer your question about why this is not on the news, because it is a stupid theory. It is not even worth being called circumstantial evidence it is more like circumvented evidence.

    If there were a conspiracy here, the wanted poster would say “for 9/11,” whether they had hard evidence or not.

    I just wrote this to the author:

    Hi,

    I just read your Bin Laden to 9/11 link article. An admission of guilt is NOT hard evidence, especially when it comes to these kinds of terrorist activities. If you look back you’ll see that almost every time there is an attack several groups step forward to claim responsibility. Heck, you want to have some fun you can Google “several groups claimed responsibility” (put it in quotes) and see what you get.

    You can also look directly at our domestic judicial system. There have been criminals in the past that have admitted guilt to a crime but because they could not link any bit of evidence to them they couldn’t be prosecuted. Generally a problem occurs when the person admitting guilt can’t get the story right, but we don’t have Bin Laden in custody to see if he knows the fine details that only the attacker would know.

    So why are we going after him at all then? Because he is a prime suspect or as the police might put it, a “person of interest.” If your wife shows up dead and you skip state, you’re not guilty of a crime, they may not have any evidence at all, but they’ll certainly chase you down. That’s really about where we’re at in the whole thing, although it has certainly lost almost all steam in the last few years.

    As for the media being just a bobbling head with a pre-recorded voice, we’re on the same page there. That’s kind of a multifaceted problem. Firstly, shocking stories create the most income for them. We all know this. However, with it being so easy to blame the government if something comes out wrong, financially there’s all the incentive to just say it and none to question it. Plus it costs money to question what is being fed. Why bite the hand that feeds you? Of course we can also bring up the clear political bias of many media outlets but that’s a few paragraphs on it’s own. I’m sure you’re already very well versed on those issues.

    Anyway, I hope that really sums it up. Maybe you can ‘call off the dogs’ because I really don’t see it as something that deserves outrage. If you want some good reading I might suggest how Bin Laden considered Saddam an “infidel” and that he was not in-fact harboring him. That being the case, why are we in Iraq at all?

    Hope it helps. J

    Someone confessed to the crime of killing Jon Benet Ramsey and it turned out NOT to be him.

    Aren’t the Bush family and the Bin Laden families buddies? Wasn’t the Bin Laden family allowed to leave hurriedly after 9-11 from the U.S.? Weren’t all of the 9-11 terrorists Saudis? Isn’t the same Bush family helping Verichip plan to electronically tag every person? http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/08/01/chips.humans.ap/index.html

    Think big picture, dudes. Perhaps 9-11 was designed to start something far more insidious than war with Iraq. Why is it that no one hears about the rest of Iraq except Baghdad?
