fodeja-
. I'm just wondering: if he was directly involved and knew everything about it (possibly giving direct orders), why didn't he confess right away, preferably the minute it happened, for increased effect? Why did he wait so long? Doesn't make sense to me.afghanistan has been his private little palace for some time now. he funds the taliban, and in return he has full run of the countryside, setting up terrorist training camps and getting full government (if you can call the taliban that) support along the way.
so why did he wait so long to confess? my guess is that he fully realized the impact and implications of what he and his army had just carried out. he no doubt knew that once evidence linked al qaeda to the bombings, that afghanistan and his own little govt. (the taliban) would no doubt feel the wrath of the u.s., and his personal paradise would come under attack. he was delaying the inevitable i guess. or maybe he thinks the u.s. is so naive that they wouldnt have ever linked him to the attacks. weve seen the taliban use this same manuever/tactic. whether they believed us to be naive, or were just stalling, they definitely layed lies across the board many times when we were trying to get them to surrender bin laden. notice when the real truth came out, from the taliban and from bin laden: after the attacks on afghanistan had begun. i tend to lean toward the "stalling" theory myself, perhaps preparing and recruiting troops in the meantime, setting up strategic locations and hiding places. this makes more sense, as i doubt bin laden and the taliban are that stupid to think we wouldnt eventually discover the entire truth. furthermore, it is my belief that the taliban and al qaeda are actually one party, all involved in the planning and carrying out of the attacks in one way or another.
these are merely my theories, for which i have no hard backing. certainly this would answer the question that was puzzling you if true, or i could be all wet.
If Bin Laden didn't exist, he would have to be invented - he's a face, he's a target, he's a figure to be ridiculed and hated.nah, we wouldnt have to invent him, weve always got hussein.
