Need to update that story there trodas.
If you notice the date of the article, the meeting took place in July 2001 before September 11th 2001. The hunt was not on for OBL until after 9/11.
This story has been posted a few times on ATS.
I serious doubt that the US would be willing to give medical aid to OBL at this time or anytime in the future, unless of course he is behind bars
Ofcourse thats what you want us to think,oh its been discussed befor no need to bring it up again,ok what exactly was proven last time? Are you saying Bush is in no way responsible? Why should we not discuss the falability of this administration?

People need to wake up. This administration and Democrats and Republicans alike are lying through their teeth to keep this warfare state alive. And to keep OPEC from going with the Euro.
A tid bit - OPEC is on the defensive as they understand we have the pipeline to the Caspian sea and Iraqi oil, the second largest untapped reserves in the world. We have succesfully put OPEC in check and that was a goal with Iraq and Afghanistan. Gas prices are high not because of the "peak oil" scapegoat, or refineries, but due to OPEC's revenge on the US taking a Muslim nation. Few people do, but if you check out when we went into Iraq you will see OPEC cut production, and raised the price, why? lol, the answer was to regulate price index for the future. I have a bridge to sell you in Dubai if you believe that one.
If you know the history of OPEC then you know oil has always been used as a political tool and weapon, which is why we are in Iraq and will continue to be in Iraq. Terrorism is real and is why we are securing logistics.

Does anyone else pay attention to stuff like this?
In his new exposé of the National Security Agency entitled Body of Secrets, author James Bamford highlights a set of proposals on Cuba by the Joint Chiefs of Staff codenamed OPERATION NORTHWOODS. This document, titled “Justification for U.S. Military Intervention in Cuba” was provided by the JCS to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on March 13, 1962, as the key component of Northwoods. Written in response to a request from the Chief of the Cuba Project, Col. Edward Lansdale, the Top Secret memorandum describes U.S. plans to covertly engineer various pretexts that would justify a U.S. invasion of Cuba. These proposals - part of a secret anti-Castro program known as Operation Mongoose - included staging the assassinations of Cubans living in the United States, developing a fake “Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington,” including “sink[ing] a boatload of Cuban refugees (real or simulated),” faking a Cuban airforce attack on a civilian jetliner, and concocting a “Remember the Maine” incident by blowing up a U.S. ship in Cuban waters and then blaming the incident on Cuban sabotage. Bamford himself writes that Operation Northwoods “may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government.”
Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Justification for US Military Intervention in Cuba [includes cover memoranda], March 13, 1962, TOP SECRET, 15 pp.

What I want you to think? I do not know where you get that. Trodas, presented the article in an attempt to state that the US was willing to give medical aid to OBL now. Unfortunately the article is 5 years old thus negating his / her argument.
What was proven last time? No a whole heck of a lot, other than prior to 9/11, OBL may have recieved assistance for the US all the way up to 7/2001 that is. Nothing more.
Am I saying that Bush is in no way responsible? To what? He may have been responsible for the "CIA" contacting OBL in July 2001 and offering medical assistance. This has not been proven either way though.
I am not asking for you not to dicuss the fallabilities of the Bush administration. What I do ask is if you attempt to present evidence to support your statments either for or against the Bush Adminstiration, present in the correct context. Trodas did not do that and I am sure that if take alook at the article which trodas has presented, you will quickly see how it did not support his / her argument.
