This is exactly correct.
And OP, we're not "conspiracy theorists".
We're truth seekers.
Osama initially denied taking part but apparently did say that we deserved it:
Bin Laden says he wasn't behind attacks.
It wasnt until the fake Osama took responsibility that the the media told told us that he admitted to the crime.

Seems to me their agenda would have been better served denying it than taking credit for it, at the very least they could've sown some discord.

"Lauer: "So at no time did you discuss evacuating bin Laden family members from the United States while the U.S. airspace was still closed down?"
Bin Laden: "It was impossible. U.S. airspace was closed. Nobody could move."
Lauer: "Michael Moore leaves the impression that 23 members of the bin Laden family were given special treatment, at the very least, by U.S. officials, to leave the United States in the days immediately following Sept. 11."
Bin Laden: "That is not true. The airplane landed in Geneva. I went to the airport."
Lauer: "What day?"
Bin Laden: "It was Thursday the 20th of September."
That was seven days after U.S. airspace had re-opened. NBC News analyst Roger Cressey worked on the National Security Council at the time and says the NSC approved the Saudi flights.
cressey: "We had asked the FBI, did they have any reason to keep these planes and prevent these individuals from leaving. The Bureau told us they did not. So we said, well, if you're ok with it, we're going to let them go."
NBC News interview with Yeslam Bin Laden, half brother to Osama
Bin Laden never laid claim to 9/11. He said "who had the most to gain?". It was a very good question.
Seems to me their agenda would have been better served denying it than taking credit for it, at the very least they could've sown some discord.
After the attacks, Ahmed quickly began to round up members of his family for a return to Saudi Arabia. He ordered his son and a couple of friends, who were in Florida, to charter a plane and get themselves to Lexington to connect with the plane he was taking home. They managed it, one of them told the security man hired for the flight, because “his father or his uncle was good friends with George Bush Sr.”
Late on the night of the 13th, Prince Bandar’s assistant called the F.B.I.’s assistant director for counterterrorism, Dale Watson. He needed help, the assistant said, in getting bin Laden “family members” out of the country. Watson said Saudi officials should call the White House or the State Department. The request found its way to counterterrorism coordinator Richard Clarke, who has acknowledged that he gave the go-ahead for the flights. He has said he has “no recollection” of having cleared it with anyone more senior in the administration.
An F.B.I. memo written two years after the exodus appears to acknowledge that some of the departing Saudis may have had information pertinent to the investigation. Asked on CNN the same year whether he could say unequivocally that no one on the evacuation flights had been involved in 9/11, Saudi Embassy information officer Nail al-Jubeir responded by saying he was sure of only two things, that “there is the existence of God, and then we will die at the end of the world. Everything else, we don’t know.”
In a press conference today, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Dana Perino about the administration’s ongoing efforts to find Osama bin Laden, calling him the “mastermind” of 9/11. Perino interrupted the reporter, claiming bin Laden was not the true “mastermind” of the attacks:
Q But Osama bin Laden is the one that — you keep talking about his lieutenants, and, yes, they are very important, but Osama bin Laden was the mastermind of 9/11 —
PERINO: No, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was the mastermind of 9/11, and he’s sitting in jail right now.

Gee....your half brother's minions conducted an attack that killed almost 3,000 people and caused a great deal of concern over your children possibly being in danger because of the deranged actions of their disowned uncle..........don't think that maybe some dates might stick in your head for years?
You should read it. It lists one Osama Bin Laden as an co-conspirator in the 9/11 attacks. You might want to update your research AND quit misrepresenting what Toombs said.
Bombshell: Bin Laden Worked for US Until 9/11
In the interview, Sibel says that the US maintained ‘intimate relations’ with Bin Laden, and the Taliban, “all the way until that day of September 11.”

The date my plane landed in Geneva to meet my family and know they are safe? You are right, not a chance in hell I would remember that date.....
