Was pondering the same kinda question when Osama bin Laden was accused to be the guy behind the 911 attacks. The Bush administration was pushing that terrorist threat narrative claiming Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. (that of course were never found) He was ultimately denied to go to war by Congress because of insufficient proof of that. So, how come an allegedly educated guy like ObL (that came from a good family with business ties to the Bush family) could not have foreseen that the 911 attacks would ultimately give Bush exactly what he wanted…? At that point he was already on the run. Shouldn’t he have known that an American invasion of Iraq would ultimately destabilise the Muslim world and give America further strategic advantages…?!! The outcome could in no way have suited someone considered to be a Muslim extremist, yes or no??!

Not to say there is 0 evidence Osama is at all responsible for 9/11. But the only evidence was that video of him “admitting it” has been proven to have wrong and misleading subtitles. He’s not talking about any attacks or anything related to terrorism in the video.

Yeah, …if that even was Bin Laden at all. Those ‘admitting it’ videos shouldn’t bear any significance, especially today with all that fancy video sorcery
