9/11 - Where is Osama?


How come we never got this guy? After watching about 9/11 all day, it makes you wonder how, after 9 years, that we are not any closer in getting this evil Islamic terrorist.

"Allah knows it did not cross our minds to attack the towers but after the situation became unbearable and we witnessed the injustice and tyranny of the American-alliance against our people in Palestine and, I thought about it. And the events that affected me directly were that of 1982 and the events that followed – when America allowed the Israelis to invade Lebanon, helped by the U.S. Sixth Fleet. As I watched the destroyed towers in Lebanon, it occurred to me punish the unjust the same way (and) to destroy towers in America so it could taste some of what we are tasting and to stop killing our children and women."

~Osama bin Laden, 2004
