What thing do you find strangest about the Terrorists?

[ck4829]

1. That Osama bin Laden (Osama who?) has never been caught

2. That Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi has never been caught

3. Osama has kidney problems and would constantly need dialysis. Osama also has other problems and has difficulty getting around. Regardless of this, Osama is still on the run.

4. That Mohammed Atta was fond of cocaine and alcohol

5. That a truck that belonged to one of Al-Zarqawi's henchmen had tags that indicate the truck came straight out of Texas

6. That reports have said that Al-Zarqawi has died

7. Other

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. all of the above

but especially the one about Atta, because Islam forbids alcohol. I've often wondered how "Muslim" the hijackers really were.

6. Atta also lived with a stripper and visited strip clubs regularly. nt

2. That they all have the same mailing address?

1600 Pennsylvannia Avenue.

[oblivious]

3. 8. That they always seem suspiciously tied in with INTELLIGENCE services.

[Maple]

4. All of it

and that anyone would believe all this nonsense in the first place.

Critical thinking went out the window the first day, and has yet to return.

5. That we haven't heard peep about Muhammed Omar since he escaped

in Afghanistan - he was one of the leaders of the Taliban.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

7. Did he "escape" on that flight filled with Taliban provided by the CIA? nt

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

8. Bin Laden + Al Zarqawi = Emmanuel Goldstein (1984). nt

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. Self-delete. Duplicated itself. nt

[linazelle]

10. That they reside in the United States' White House. n/t

[Minstrel Boy]

11. That the Chief of Pakistani intelligence ordered $100,000 wired

to Atta through an al Qaeda double agent, and was in Washington for meetings with senior officials the week of Sept 11, but was allowed to retire quietly without interrogation when the funding was exposed, and the relationship covered up.

That the CIA station chief and a fellow agent visited bin Laden on several occasions in a Dubai hospital in July 2001, according to French intelligence.

I got a million of 'em.

[oblivious]

12. And this same ISI connection now leads to the British bombings and MI6

I tell you, it's all orchestrated by these intel services. 99.9% anyway.

...Less well known is evidence of the British government's relationship with a wider Islamist terrorist network. During an interview on Fox TV this summer, the former US federal prosecutor John Loftus reported that British intelligence had used the al-Muhajiroun group in London to recruit Islamist militants with British passports for the war against the Serbs in Kosovo.

...One British Muslim of Pakistani origin radicalised by the civil war in Yugoslavia was LSE-educated Omar Saeed Sheikh. He is now in jail in Pakistan under sentence of death for the killing of the US journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002.

...The Observer Research Foundation has argued that there are even "grounds to suspect that the blasts were orchestrated by Omar Sheikh from his jail in Pakistan".

...Why then is Omar Sheikh not being dealt with when he is already under sentence of death? Astonishingly his appeal to a higher court against the sentence was adjourned in July for the 32nd time and has since been adjourned indefinitely. This is all the more remarkable when this is the same Omar Sheikh who, at the behest of General Mahmood Ahmed, head of the ISI, wired $100,000 to Mohammed Atta, the leading 9/11 hijacker, before the New York attacks, as confirmed by Dennis Lormel, director of FBI's financial crimes unit.
