Reply #20: OBL could...but our government couldn't?

[Old and In the Way]

"No, I don't think it's reasonable to assume that the government could pull off something this big."

So, is OBL and the Al Qaeda bigger, more powerful, more capable than our government? If so, maybe we should surrender now.

One could argue, as a pro-Semite, that the Sauds were partners in this. Afterall, all 15 of 19 alledged hi-jackers were from Saudi Arabia. How did we deal with this fact? We exited Saudi bases, took out their secular enemy neigbor Saddam, and have kept the Iraqi oil off the market, making the Saudi product even more valuable. The House of Saud even gets James Baker to spearhead their legal fight against a billion dollar civil law suit filed by the families of 9/11 victims.

I don't pretend to know the who, what, or why of 9/11. I do believe the Bush choreographed 9/11 Commission was a complete whitewash and we don't know the root answers to those fundemental questions.
