al queida declared war on the kingdom of saud for hosting the infidel americans after the gulf war. so they were SA traitors hanging out in Afghan.
what boggles my mind, is that after 50 years of islamic terrorism, bombings, hijackings, kidnappings, towers bombed and the Twin Towers themselves bombed just 8 years earlier, some people refuse to beleive they were capable and willing.
Especially because of how 'easy' the plot really was. There was basically no airline security pre-9/11 and the SOP was to surrender to hijackers, as it had been an off-and-on problem throughout the 70s and 80s.
Gotcha. That certainly gives me something to pivot on. Though I'll be honest, I still can't fathom the rationale for Afghanistan even if AQ was there. We went in aren't we still there?
Were not nearly all the hi-jackers Saudi Arabian? Genuine question. Or were they defectors and were hanging out in Afghanistan?

They wanted to bankrupt and otherwise destroy the US.
They wanted to destroy the symbol of the UN.
They were incredibly successful.
