SubscribeIn the Vietnam War, the leaders of the White House claimed at the time that it was necessary and crucial war, and during it, Rumsfeld and his aides murdered two million villagers. And when Kennedy took over the presidency and deviated from the general line of policy draw up for the White House and wanted to stop this unjust war, that angered the owners of the major corporations who were benefiting from its continuation.Vietnam War ended April 30, 1975; Donald Rumsfeld became the Secretary of Defense November 20, 1975.
And so Kennedy was killed, and al-Qalda wasn't present at that time, but rather, those corporations were the primary beneficiary from his killing.
In the interview Bin Laden states “I wish to declare that if America used chemical or nuclear weapons against us, then we may retort with chemical and nuclear weapons. We have the weapons as deterrent”. When Hamid Mir asks him he got the weapons, bin Laden tells him to go to the next question.There was a hellish scare in late 2001 when US intelligence received multiple reports from reliable, disparate sources that there was a nuclear threat from al Queda to the US homeland. The action taken in response was comprehensive, from shuttling US officials to "undisclosed locations" to actually threatening Pakistan with nuclear annihilation unless we were granted unfettered, surprise access to secure their facilities (which we got) and everything in between. The threat never came to fruition, and the discoveries borne from the response to the scare yielded the opposite conclusions.
Mir recalled telling al-Zawahiri it was difficult to believe that Al Qaeda had nuclear weapons when the terror network didn't have the equipment to maintain or use them.
Dr Ayman al-Zawahiri laughed and he said 'Mr. Mir, if you have $30 million, go to the black market in central Asia, contact any disgruntled Soviet scientist, and a lot of ... smart briefcase bombs are available”. "They have contacted us, we sent our people to Moscow, to Tashkent, to other central Asian states and they negotiated, and we purchased some suitcase bombs," Mir quoted al-Zawahiri as saying.
Iraq isn't a country he's ever cared much about.
there are probably very few smart people willing to pull off suicide attacks and they were mostly used up in September 11
The 19 hijackers were covert operatives on foreign soil for years
