All because a white Republican shot another white Republican.

Ultimately the US was... by its own cancerous military industrial complex.

Bin Laden set out to destroy America and he did. The terrorists have won the war on terror.

Oh, the guy who did it denied doing it. And never mind that he later bragged about it.

There's overwhelming evidence that Binladen and Zawahiri planned and executed the attack. The only unknown (at least to the public) is how much Saudi government (versus loose-cannon individual) involvement there was. And it's worth keeping in mind that the Saudi government is run like a poorly-organized family business, where the right hand seldom knows what the left hand is doing (though this is changing since MBS runs a tighter but far more oppressive ship).
