@kingdomofwitches osama bin laden was NEVER trained in The United States of America. get your 'facts' straight BEFORE opening your mouth. osama bin laden was in afghanistan during the soviet occupation in the 1980s and led a faction of majahadin AGAINST the communist government of afghanistan and their soviet allies. as for osama being a CIA "agent" goes , NO he was NOT , a 'client' though , YES , maybe.

@SocratesTheGadfly osama bin laden the father of alqeda is CIA agent are you denying this.he was trained in US.are you denying this

@kingdomofwitches NONSENSE! militant islamo facism was created by moslums who are INTOLERANT of others and seek to regress the world into a 7th century civilization in which moslums rule the world by intimidation, fear, terrorism and everyone is under the pagan barbarism of the shariah law in which only those who are deemed "true moslums" have rights and ALL others are slaves to their barbarism. islamo facists STARTED this conflict and by God America will FINISH it!

[kingdomofwitches]

@SocratesTheGadfly militant islamo facists was created by The United States of America during the cold war against the soviet union.so its the American responsibility to end what it has started.by the United States of America couldn't.so the the general keep on saying we need to ask the international people to the development,the war which was started by US against the wish of the international community.

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@kingdomofwitches what you just stated is ABSOLUTELY WRONG. the militant islamo facists started this war of terrorism and The United States of America will END IT!

A lot of ignorant people today would like to ignore the exemplary service done for our country by Arab-Americans such as Gen. Abizaid.
