The biggest person that he and his henchmen have manipulated is President Bush.. They have done a masterful job on him. Since bin Laden was very familiar with the Bush family, having done business with them for many a year, he knew all about George W. long before the rest of us did. He knew exactly how that guy operated, for he is a Bush after all, and they all operate in the same way. He knew just how easily that W. could be manipulated. He knew that committing an act like this was something that George W. Could not comprehend any more than the average American could. As such, he would not know how to react to it any more than the average citizen. Difference, is, George W. Has far more power and influence in America than the average American. As such, it was obvious that Bush could be manipulated into the instant war that commenced, and have all sorts of innocents over in Afghanistan be killed while they figured out how to fight a war on the fly like that, and that would be perfect for manipulating the Islamic people into hating the West. He got that too. He also got something else that he was after as well. He knew full well that the one sore spot in the Bush family is Saddam Hussein, specifically, that he is still in power in Iraq today. He knew that if he got George W.'s cowboy roots all stirred up, that he would eventually use the war to try and avenge the family honor. Sooner or later, he would turn the American War Machine against Iraq, regardless of whether there was a reason for it or not. And what have we sen in the last few weeks? President Bush pulling out all the stops trying to convince one and all that a war with Iraq is necessary to help win the Terror War. This has played right into the hands of the terrorists for many reasons, a number of which I wrote about recently in the "Promises, Promises" column. Those are some scary reasons. Bin Laden pretends to be a pious Muslim, just like all the tyrants of that faith do. He faithfully went to the local mosque every Friday to pray and hear the fuckin' lying Muslim Holy Men use the services as platforms to preach radical shit against the rest of the world. He knew full well that in most Muslim countries, the Friday prayer services are no more than thinly veiled political rallies for one party or another. There is every bit as much political preaching going on at your average mosque on Friday as there is teachings from the Koran. The pilgrims get as stirred up with some political horseshit as they do with the words of Allah. Besides proving that all religions are nothing more than devices that man has invented to subjugate and control other men, it also shows that the average Muslim citizen knows only these political views that he gets at the mosque on Friday, since the mosque control so much of the daily lives of the average people. The main topics at many mosques deal with how the West is insidious and evil and how they are out to destroy Islam in the name of God and Jesus Christ. The lying Mullahs point to example after example in the history books as proof of this. They tell the people that it will happen again, anytime now. So this gets the people all paranoid and suspicious and hateful of the West. Since the USA is considered the most successful Western country, they are considered the leaders of the West in the Islamic world. So for bin Laden;s purposes, it was most important to manipulate the leader of America, i.e. The President, in order to effectively complete his mad plans. That was the real reason behind the events of September 11th, 2001. Not destroying Mr. Businessman's palaces. For bin Laden is the spawn of Mr. Businessman, and is actually Mr. Businessman himself, so everything that he has came from that scene. Knocking down the towers was pure gravy as far as bin Laden was concerned. His intent was not to destroy the Pentagon either, because he knows full well that is a bunker that virtually cannot be destroyed, just fucked up a bit, and that is what he did. The Pentagon itself has been bragging about how little damage and loss of life there was there that day. The real intent of bin Laden and his boys was to get President Bush all riled up and into cowboy mode and have him declare a war that would eventually lead back to the Persian Gulf and Saddam Husein. When George W. Goes before the American people or the United Nations and says that he truly believes that America must topple Saddam and uses the name of God as he does it, the Muslim people see that Western crusader saying that he is out to destroy Islam in the name of God and Jesus Christ, just like the Mullahs said would happen. The manipulation is complete.
Why does bin Laden want to do this? In the name of Allah like he says? Sure thing. He wants to do it because he is intent on bringing about a Holy War between Islam and the West. He is no different than Charles Manson in this respect. Charlie wanted to start a Race War between blacks and whites in America, and he used his "Family" and the ghastly acts that they committed as his starting point. He wanted to start this race war because he was just some cheap ass punk that had spent more of his life in prison than out of it and was mad at society and wanted to start this war to get back at them and be forever known as the dude that started it, so that he could be immortal. He has gotten his immortality, he will never be forgotten because of what he did, but because he was nothing more than a cheap ass American punk, he could not get the war started like he tried to. Osama bin Laden is not just a cheap ass American punk. He is someone that was born into enormous wealth and power and has just lived off of that for his entire life. As such, he has the resources and general wherewithal to do a lot more than Charlie Manson ever could. Since bin Laden shares the same mad dream as Charlie does, that is starting a Racial/Holy War, that makes him many, many times more dangerous than Charlie could ever be, and Charlie is no choirboy. Bin Laden also want to be immortal, he is that vain a man, and he wants to be known as the dude that started the Holy war that all the paranoid Mullahs preached about over the years. That is all that he is after, nothing more. He does not even give a fuck who wins that war, just as long as it happens. But to do so, he needed to manipulate President Bush and the American people into fighting a war that would be seen as a Holy War in the Islamic world. So far, it looks like he has done just that. He has everything set for that to happen at anytime now. The only way that it can be avoided is for Bush to see how he has been manipulated in all of this, and discern between what is truly necessary to win the war, and what is not. For if he does not and is further manipulated, things could end up coalescing into something far worse than they ever should have, and that fuckin' asshole bin Laden will have the immortality in the way that he desires. Just the fact that he was behind what happened last year gives him the same sort of immortality that Charles Manson has, and that is too much as it is, and he should not be able to gain the exact type of immortality that he is after , for that would be giving him exactly what he wanted when he planned these acts originally, and that fucker has done enough damage already, and he does not need to do any more.So his manipulations must be resisted and refused, or else the damage that he has already done will look like nothing compared to what he will do then.
