True, and great points..RedheadedStranger » 23 Jan 2023, 7:11 pm » wrote: ↑ The planning for 9-11 started quite a while before the 2000 election. I remember reading that most of the hijackers were in the US for as long as 18-24 months prior to the attack. The ringleader, a guy named Atta I believe, was in the US as far back as early 1999 from what I can recall.
I remember reading that Osama was pretty much the black sheep of the Bin Ladin family, and most of the immediate family had actually already disowned him over his radical beliefs, prior to the attacks.
I also remember reading that Bush had allowed the Bin Ladins that were in the US to leave after the attack because they were afraid their lives might be in danger because of their relation to Osama.
I haven't read about the attack in years, but did in the immediate aftermath, as most everyone else.
Yes, Bin Laden had already been disowned by his family in 1994, before he declared his Jihad against against the US in 1996..
And also true the 2001 attack was 3 years in the planning before everything was ready to go... This is a point which those who insist the Bush administration was involved in the planning refuse to accept..
