By Daniel Benjamin and Steven Simon For more than two decades, through two wars and domestic upheaval, the idea that al-Qaeda acted alone on 9/11 has been the basis of U.S. policy. A blue-ribbon commission concluded that Osama bin Laden had pioneered a new kind of terrorist group—combining superior technological know-how, extensive resources, and a worldwide network so well coordinated that it could carry out operations of unprecedented magnitude. This vanguard of jihad, it seemed, was the first nonstate actor that rivaled nation-states in the damage it could wreak. That assessment now appears wrong. And if our understanding of what transpired on 9/11 turns out to have been flawed, then the costly policies that the United States has pursued for the past quarter century have been rooted in a false premise. The global War on Terror was based on a mistake. A new filing in a lawsuit brought by the families of 9/11 victims against the government of Saudi Arabia alleges that al-Qaeda had significant, indeed decisive, state support for its attacks. Officials of the Saudi government, the plaintiffs’ attorneys contend, formed and operated a network inside the United States that provided crucial assistance to the first cohort of 9/11 hijackers to enter the country. The 71-page document, released in redacted form earlier this month, summarizes what the plaintiffs say they’ve learned through the evidence obtained in discovery and recently declassified materials. They allege that Saudi officials—most notably Fahad al-Thumairy, an imam at a Los Angeles mosque and an accredited diplomat at Saudi Arabia’s consulate in that city, and Omar al-Bayoumi, who masqueraded as a graduate student but was identified by the FBI as an intelligence operative—were not rogue operators but rather the front end of a conspiracy that included the Saudi embassy in Washington and senior government officials in Riyadh.
So paps deep-state buried Jr's deep-state complicity in 9/11. This is why papa struggles to keep friends. He can't keep his mouth shut when someone hurts his feelings.
It's a lawsuit, so of course they're going to make grand claims. I can revisit after the court's finding, but this probably isn't the best avenue for finding the truth.
Well of course they did but maybe not the way you’d think. Bin Laden’s whole motive centered around Saudi Arabia and fundamentalism. Religious propaganda in the Arab world is important for someone like Bin Laden prior to 9/11 so he himself made the case to his followers that this was about that US military base in SA that was on “holy land”. He was writing and talking about it is wrong that there are women walking around showing their elbows, people drinking alcohol, etc. etc. That was the fundamentalist propaganda though. The real reason was to drive a wedge between the US and the governments of SA and other Arab nations so there was a greater vacuum in the region for political power from extremist groups like Al Qaeda. So it would seem counter to logic that the government officials in SA would have wanted the attacks to happen since they would stand to benefit from a US relationship, but they understood the politics of the religious right in the Arab world so they knew getting in bed with the west was politically dangerous and could get them in hot water or even killed. I believe the financiers though of 9/11 were out of Germany and the UAE. The planning was done in Florida of all places, and the pilots were trained in US flight school. So there’s all these contributing conflictions but at the core this was a Saudi Arabian focused terrorist mission to get the US base moved out of the holy land. Bin Laden was Saudi Arabian as were most of the hijackers.
