The history of the Bin Laden Family-good!-3/6

Steve Coll on The Bin Ladens: An Arabian Family in the American Century

Nearly seven years after the first bombs were dropped on Afghanistan, the US war there continues to escalate. President Bush recently announced he will send an additional 5,000 troops to Afghanistan. Both major party presidential candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama, have pledged to send more troops if elected. The United States launched the war in Afghanistan in response to the 9/11 attacks. The stated purpose of the invasion was to capture Osama bin Laden and remove the Taliban regime, which had provided support and safe harbor to al-Qaeda. Osama bin Laden is known worldwide as the founder of al-Qaeda and the mastermind of 9/11. But much less is known of his sprawling Saudi family and their multiple ties to the United States. A new book by award-winning journalist Steve Coll details the complicated family history of Osama bin Laden, one of 54 children born to Mohammed bin Laden. [includes rush transcript]

At that time there was no reason to stop any such transaction of arms - Osama during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was working in the community of interest sphere of US policy. Which was co-ordinated with the Saudi & Binladen families, how & who else? US will always negotiate with the key power brokers.

Binladen's did 9/11 not just osama in a cave - this interview spends much of the time in retro-spective plausable deniability mode - so Osama got weapons from Heckler & Koch a west German arms maker which has long standing ties to US so the US must of known that Osama was getting weapons because H&Koch is part of the NATO logistics complex -
