Oh contrare, Brumar89.
It is not about Judaism, it is about colonialism, straight up!
After reading the evidence as presented by the British, I am convinced enough to agree (providing the "facts" are true), that we are within our rights to go after bin Laden. Keep in mind that is one side of the story and the US is not making those comments. Also, the Americans, nor the British turned over any evidence to the Taliban when requested (not that they would do anything with it except to delay our response to the WTC).
"Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida have been engaged in a jihad against the United States, and its allies. One of their stated aims is the murder of U.S. citizens, and attacks on America's allies."
None of the text the British offered in their release says anything about bin Laden's word that include and it's allies.
"Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida provide the Taliban regime with material, financial and military support. They jointly exploit the drugs trade. The Taliban's strength would be seriously weakened without Osama bin Laden's military and financial support. "
Why would they need bin Laden's money?
"Suicide attackers
1.Coordinated attacks on the same day
2.The aim to cause maximum American casualties
3.Total disregard for other casualties, including Muslim
Meticulous long-term planning
1.Absence of warning.
6. Al-Qaida retains the capability and the will to make further attacks on the U.S. and its allies, including the United Kingdom.
7. Al-Qaida gives no warning of terrorist attack. "
After 11 September we learned that, not long before, bin Laden had indicated he was about to launch a major attack on America. The detailed planning for the terrorist attacks of 11 September was carried out by one of Osama bin Laden's close associates.
Say that again?
"The Security Council, in Resolution 1267, condemned Osama bin Laden for sponsoring international terrorism and operating a network of terrorist camps, and demanded that the Taliban surrender Osama bin Laden without further delay so that he could be brought to justice. "
Which UN Security Council Resolution should we ignore and which one should we enforce?
"69. No other organization has both the motivation and the capability to carry out attacks like those of the 11 September only the al-Qaida network under Osama bin Laden. "
What is all the talk about Iraq then?
2. The material in respect of 1998 and the USS Cole comes from indictments and intelligence sources. The material in respect of 11September comes from intelligence and the criminal investigation to date. The details of some aspects cannot be given, but the facts are clear from the intelligence.
3. The document does not contain the totality of the material known to Her Majesty's Government, given the continuing and absolute need to protect intelligence sources.
British intelligence or American intelligence? Have there been indictments in the bombing of the USS Cole?
"The details of some aspects cannot be given, but the facts are clear from the intelligence.
It is accurate because we say it is accurate.
Overall, I give a thumbs up giving America the benefit of the doubt.
