Osama Bin Laden's family thought he was a nutcase, and sent him packing with a bag full of money (the Bin Laden family are the Rockefellers of Mideast Construction, which is how OBL knew that the twin towers, and not the Empire State Building, had design aspects that would turn them into crumbling flames if hit with firebomb cruise-missiles like they were).
Furthermore, even Al Quieda thought he was kind'a cracked... but he kept paying the bills with that bag-full of money his family kicked him out with.
Now, the thing is, Al Quieda isn't a big operation. Per capita they're about the same percentage of Muslims as the north American White-Pride neo-Nazis are of Christians, and they have an interesting policy in common, which is that it's better, and more effective, to have a small number of totally dedicated members than lots of so-so members... and they're right; it only took about a dozen-or-so very dedicated souls to take down the Twin Towers, whereas if they'd been a larger organization with lots of wishy-washies they'd have been ground down to the mundane like Taliban and Hammas.
What that means is, because they were a small, uber-concentrated nucleus of very hard-core dedicates, the real response should have been to kick into gear covert-ops intelligence and assassins. That's what they're there for. You don't take out worms like Al Quieda with mass bombings. They're just going to sit in their caves playing gin until the bombing stops. You take them out with intelligence and assassins.
Okay, so Bush had to do something big to show the American people that he was reacting to the attack, and so Afghanistan was hit, which wouldn't have been so bad if they'd actually had an occupation plan to back it up, in order to actually restructure the place after kicking out Taliban, but Bush had no such plan (you can't use troops to be cops; troops are trained to win battles, not be cops; that's a totally different kind of training), and then that FUBAR on Iraq pushed America's international credibility beyond the drop to spill the cup.
Therefore, the response should have been:
1) Taliban get bombed out of Afghanistan by the US.
1.1) Canadian forces *protecting* Canadian RCMP trainers move in.
1.1.1) The RCMP trainers teach the locals how to be cops.
This all has the effect of enabling Jack-and-Jane average feeling like their government is doing its job.
2.0) Unbeknownst to them and in the mean time, the real work of weeding out Al Quieda is being done by intelligence and assassins.
In other words, covert ops was the way to handle that one.
Now, because this is a Canadian forum, I'm going to explain something that might not be known by Canadians.
In most nations, Covert Service works in two branches: Intelligence and Ops. Ops is code for assassins.
Canada is the only member of the G8 who's Covert Service does *only* Intelligence, with *no* Ops branch. No assassins, and yes there are those who think maybe she should reconsider that position, as a function of the situation.
That means for OPI 9/11 to have worked:
- Two birds are killed with one stone, with Canada de-Talibanizing and civilizing Afghanistan via RCMP police trainers protected by Canadian forces so north Americans can think a forceful response has been done to the attack,
- American covert Ops weeds out Al Quieda with the help of Canadian intelligence, because Canadian intelligence only does Information, but not Ops, however the Information is World Class, so it could be passed on to the Yanks with their Ops division.
Instead, we just got a f-cked up waste of money with no results and lots of wasted lives spawned by Goldman's Sack taking over government and doing as much damage to the internal economy with the last recession as their government did not fix overseas.
Do you have any idea how simple it would be to reveal Goldman's Sack-holes to be the puppets of Lucifer racing the world to Armageddon by turning north America into the Beast?
