4. didn't you know? "al qaeda" also caused Mt St Helens to blow, Challenger AND Columbia to explode,
the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and disappearance of numerous young blond white women, not to mention numerous "unsolved" homicides and robberies over the past 500 years. D. B. Cooper was actually a member of "al qaeda" and his heist was an important contribution to their coffers.

7. I heard they knocked down the World Trade Center....

It means the Treasury Departments efforts of pushing them out of the international banking system has been successful.
