They have, it's just not advertised. This is like claiming the Mafia never existed because it didn't own a country. A LOT of Gulf money flows their way from ostensibly legitimate Saudi sources. This is a new age, where the internet and dirty bombs can empower small groups to do great damage. Into what perspective shall I put the half a trillion of economic damage they did n 9/11? And that was with boxcutters! Supply another such group with a few dirty bombs, they can do 10 times as much. They want to do it. They have means method and opportunity - if our intelligence forces fall down on the job again. What is so farfetched about this scenario? Would you have said 9/11 was possible, the day before it happened? Fear mongering again? I hope AIPAC is not paying too much. You are not doing a good job. The reason I care about AIPAC paying too much is that AIPAC gets its money from US taxpayers, and you need to maximize the taxpayers ROI.

This is like claiming the Mafia never existed because it didn't own a country. Exactly. They are very much like the Mafia. A loose bunch that sometimes got together to score big. Once they scored big, that was the end of them. Who was the most successful Mafia leader? What did he ever have? Maybe a body guard here and there. Maybe some expensive suits and cigars. Once they become successful, the feds, local law enforcement, and assorted informants are all over them.
