He did not claim he did it
Not personally no, but he directed it andtakes credit for directing it.
How did OBL happen to plan this attack on the same day that the US was running simulations about terrorists attacking the US? Do you think he just got lucky? Hijacked planes flying over US airspace for 2 hours?
Don't you think this is something he would have claimed responsibility for right off the bat to encourage others into siding with him and add a sense fearlessness, credibility, and serious devotion to Alqeada?
Why did the FBI say they had no evidence of his involvement?
Why were there reports of him being hospitalized the day before?
Why were their numerous reports that he actually died?
On a curious side note, are you aware that the 7-7 London bombings also occurred on a day that was scheduled for terrorists drills?
Also where are you getting your evidence that he even took credit for it, or directed others
in their participation?
Why was he allegedly murdered and thrown into the ocean, instead of parading him about, and being "interrogated" at length? Surely much useful information could have been gained from this, and even more important, much needed credibility on behalf of the US and coalition forces was to be gained as well.
I do not believe the OCT because there are many instances of lies, and complicity between OBL, and certain US officials, and their family as well.
How many instances of these lies, regarding 9-11, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Halliburton, PNAC etc are you personally willing to just ignore and set aside before you start to research these matters.
I'll engage you in this discussion if I at least know what you believe happened. Do you believe everything occurred the way it has been explained from official sources?
Some do and some don't....I personally think that given all the instances where there is compelling contradictions, that the OCT is full of shit, and that people who do adhere to it are naive, never have dug deeper into it then what they heard on from the MS, or know that it is BS but are afraid to talk about it.
