7. Osama bin Laden may have had long-term ties with Saudi Intelligence...

During the 1980s, when the CIA launched its secret war against the Soviet-backed regime in Afghanistan, "This relationship involved cooperation with Saudi intelligence, particularly in providing resources and support for the mujahideen, including Bin Laden's Maktab al-Khidamat which funneled money, arms, and fighters to Afghanistan. " - according to Google AI.

I believe that once the Soviets left Afghanistan, and the US suddenly pulled out leaving these "freedom fighters" fully armed, this "Base" of fighters then began turning their attention against the ruling House of Saud. I know from other internet posts at that time, there was concern about Marxism running rampant and, presumably, posing a threat to the wealthy Saudis. Enter Osama bin Laden, from one of the wealthiest families of SA second only to the House of Saud, uniting these freedom fighters under a unified Jihad directed more toward the United States. This new threat would then give neocons the excuse they needed to wage war against al Queda (the Base), somehow blaming Saddam Hussein for his role, in effect defending the Saudis, and ultimately protecting and securing oil interests.
