Please explain to us your beliefs as to why Bin Laden was able to rise to power, why he issued a declaration of war against the US, and how the presence of US troops on Saudi soil to contain Saddam played NO part in leading to his acts of terror or recruiting for Al-Qaeda.
I am not going to write a book here, Hawk. Saddam and Bin Ladin are unrelated. You know it and I know it and so does everyone else. Bush et al tried very hard to prove a connection, with all the intelligence capabilities they possess, and comically failed, which tells me that there probably isn't anything damning to be found.
Possibly because Al-Qaeda effectively launched, or attempted a major terrorist attack each year since the embassy bombings in africa, which killed 200, and injured over 5,000, predominantly locals.
That figures he would try one attack every year for 20 years, or 5%.
Huh?
"Figures he would try one attack every year for 20 years" DOES NOT MEAN that the current Iraqi regime raises the probability of a terrorist attack by 5%!!! It doesn't even mean that the PROBABILITY of Al-Qaeda trying or succeeding in an attack in any given year IS is 5%, as you seem to believe !!!
I can't believe you said that :-)
Here's what the original sentence, if you are a bit confused after this comment:
suppose that the current Iraqi regime raises the
probability of a terrorist attack of the same magnitude as 9/11 by 5 percent per year (one additional attack every 20 years).
