You obviously didn't hear that Osama boasted about his success in destroying the Twin Towers and the rest. The fascinating thing is that people who believe 911 was perpetrated by the CIA actually did hear and believe Osama's boast. It could be that Sarman believes that Osama works for the CIA. It would be that Sarman believes that both Osama and the CIA work for the "Joooooos." Or it could be that Sarman believes at one and the same time that Osama is a hero of Islam who destroyed the Twin Towers AND that the CIA did it. This is a not uncommon example of cognitive dissonance. You can call it being "off your rocker" but it's far too common for that. Take the example of the woman who believes that her husband loves her even though he beats the crap out of her and she's got the credit card receipts for the hotel trysts with his lover. When you're believing what you want to believe, facts are subordinate to imagination.
