BF2S Forums IF bin Laden Turned to Politics.........

I'm sure had McGuinness been blowing up Americans they would not so readily have let him into their country.

They have a very effective sectarian political branch, its called "The House of Saud".

I thought 9-11 was politics.

In his manifesto Bin Laden laid out several declaration wherein he defined why he was opposed to us, what our crimes were, etc. War is politics by other means. Osama declared war on us. He had religious, financial and cultural objections to America.

I would also call the Oklahoma bombing by Timothy McVeigh a political act. It was a protest against what he perceived to be a murder and cover up  in the deaths of the Branch Davidians. After it had wound it's way through the courts and systematically the evidence was squashed, the guilty cops forgiven and promoted and the surviving Davidians were given ridiculous long sentences, he did what some considered a patriotic thing and brought war against the government. It was politics. Unfortunately, many innocents perished as a results of his, and the United States governments crimes. But it was still politics.

Bin Laden and company consider it legitimate politics to attack civilian targets because from their point of view that is the only kind of war they can wage. They will never stand and fight or face our A 10 Warthogs in trenches. Why would they?

They need simply continue to do what they are doing; keep a level of paranoia such that we will spend our fortunes chasing shadows and we eventually go broke. If you read his manifesto ( ladens ) where he talks about waging finacial war on America you will see that, just like George Bush he announced his intentions for war, how it was going to be waged, and then set out and did it.  It seems to me that this war is going exactly how they planned it in that our government has crushed civil liberties, exploded in size, shape and spending and that we have come across largely looking like assholes. In this political game, Osama Bin Laden is winning. He doesn't care as much about the military war because winning it was never part of the plan. Getting America to destroy itself from within is the plan, and it is working.



I can recognize Osama as a good military leader while still wanting his head on a pike pole hanging from the White House walls. I can recognize george Bush and his croonies as being a real clear and present danger while still maintaining a deep and profound love for my country.

I would say, the more you love America, the angrier you should be right now with the open borders, devalued currency and financial rape via borrowed money for idiotic wars that will cost my childrens children.

people need to refamiliarize themselves to what AQ actually is.

Or some plywood, cellophane, and few gallons of water.

you cant compare the IRA and AQ.  Apples and oranges.   AQ got their start, not to free themselves from some colonial power, but to go into a wholly different country and wage a jihad against the godless soviet invasion of afghanistan.  AQ was started and funded by a rich saud who doesnt give a fuck about politics.  Its the afterlife they care about and what motivates them.

their main beef is the fact we have troops in saudi arabia

Why do you have troops there anyway?
