Sorry I haven't seen a "credible" source which says bin Laden is a member of the Saudi Royal Family. I will concede his family is close to the Saudi royal family and has indeed amassed a great deal of wealth building things for the royal family, but the bin Laden family is from Yemen not Saudi Arabia.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/binladen/who/bio.html There are just too many credible sources for me to accept what you have said. I don't know where you came up with the idea that I indicated the United States sold poison gas to anyone, but the use of the term unilateral implies that no one else is reducing their stockpiles of nerve agent/poison gas. Russia is, albeit at a much slower pace than we are. http://www.cma.army.mil/ Just look at how much we have left. Al Qaeda in Iraq's first leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was indeed born in Jordan, but he is a Palestinian who was born in Jordan. His connections to Al Qaeda have really never been confirmed. From what I have read, he did not share the same vision as bin Laden, the destruction of the "far enemy" (United States); his emphasis was more on Israel. What truly amazes me is how people point to his being in Iraq as a link between Al Qaeda and Hussein. 1. He was not a member of Al Qaeda, but let a group called Tawid which did change into the Al Qaeda in Iraq after the US-led invasion. 2. Zarqawi was not under the control of Hussein, he was located at a terrorist camp in northern Iraq, which strangely was in the Kurdish controlled area and thereby in the US controlled no-fly zone. If this camp was so dangerous to the United States interests, why didn't the United States take action earlier? I guess I will defer to your knowledge of what Muslims think, since I really have no idea. Personally I believe Palestinian issue causes more animosity for America than our presence in Saudi Arabia, but I could be wrong. Based on a multitude of reports I have seen over the last couple of years, I know that the majority of Muslims are not happy about our occupation of Iraq. Just my two cents again, I could always be wrong. Quadius On 5/23/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Ok, osama bin Laden is a member of the Bin Laden family which runs a multi-billion dollar engineering company. They built and designed all the saudi palaces and Bin Laden's daddy is very close t the Saudi royal family and Bin Laden has worked all over the world building mosques, roads and pipelines. We never sold poison gas to any country! The US has been destroying poison gas and biological weapons unilaterally since 1971. We have sold nuclear weapons to the UK. I personally don't believe Osama was responsible for the WTC. He isn't that smart. With that said, I think he knew about it and it was an al qiada operation. He is guilty by asociation but it wasn't his idea and he was merely kept aware that an attack of some kind was to take place. Inteligence says there were to be 12 jets hijacked that day. The hijackers were mostly Saudi, Kuwaiti, and Egyptian. No Iraqi's were involved. In fact, Al qiada in Iraq was operated by a Jordanian. He is dead and it is now run by an Egyptian. In 1991 America sent 400,000 troops into Saudi Arabia. This is a country that beheads people for violating the Quran. It is considered by many Muslims to be holy ground. Christians are tolerated as embassadors and expected to behave with respect toward Muslim laws and not draw attention to themselves. Many Muslims, even moderates, felt there was no reason to have so many infidels in their holy land. They blame the Royal Family as much as they bame America for this violation. Most would have rather seen Saddam replace the royal family. Wy were we there? Was it our place to save muslims from muslims? How would catholics feel if Osama sent a bodyguard for the pope and dismissed his security people? Its a religous and emotonal hornets nest we stirred up. When the war was over, Americans didn't go home. We kept over 100,000 infidels in Saudi Arabia. We have managed to offend the sensibilities of the entire muslim world. Most muslims think we only went to Saudi Arabia to test our weapons on muslims and steal oil. Can a billion muslims all be wrong? john -----Original Message----- From: Quadius To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [email protected] Sent: Wed, 23 May 2007 7:18 pm Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] NEW CHAIR "He's a member of the Royal Saudi family" Luis Not that I disagree with everything you have said, but Osama bin Laden is not a member of the Saudi royal family. He is from a wealthy Yemen family which has good connections with the Saudi royal family. Big difference.
