I could go on for longer on little bits like this but I'm going to summarise here:-
facts
OBL used to oust old leaders/russia
OBL and collegues received military training
OBL also received weapons and monetary support from US
Attacks happen, instant world outcry, USA could nuke afganistan and the globe would only of blinked because of the bright flash
US move into Afganistan, start the process of introducing a more western thinking leadership
OBL "makes" claims he new how much damage the attacks would make, gloats about it, US citizens take this as insult and want blood allowing the US to
march on
Amazingly OBL makes it out of his Cave network and through all American/British armed forces hunting him
My opinion
Bin laden never taken of US payroll
An un-named agency new they could find a use for him.
OBL slowly raised his international profile with attacks on US targets, and loudly proclaiming his hatred of the US
[un-named agency] decides that a terror strike would be best, one that caused some death but was more symbollic. Allows fro retribution and access to
afganistan
Plans laid, OBL speaks out even louder, attacks the olympics
Agency decides that going on the data that was available about the twin towers at the time suggested that they would withstand a plane crashing into
them
Paper trails start getting laid
Agency wants more public outcry about attacks, gets OBL to make claims of sturatual knowledge for demolishing towers
Agency sees the beifits of keeping OBL at large gets armed forces to allow him to escape his cave prison
OBL disappears, to reappear where?, my money is if Bush and Blair can't get enough support for an attack on Iraq over the weapons of mass detruction
route which they are going, and failing on, OBL will appear in Iraq and harbouring the worlds most dangerous man will be enough to allow US forces to
move into Iraq another rich depositary of oil and somewhere the US has had it's eyes on for ages..
Saddam gets booted out/killed and a western friendly ruler placed their
Oh yeah OBL again escapes, to run wild until another area needs "dealing" with
Sorry for rambling but I hope there's some food for thought there.

I thought his prediction of the war in Iraq was dead on. And his theory on Bin Laden was interesting as well.
