Thank God we still had a few republicans that could see this charade for what it was and wanted a STOP to the irrelevant attacks since OBL was NOT a cult figure before the attacks.

Alec Station (the bin Laden unit of the CIA) was started in 1996, 2 years before the attacks in Africa.

In 1996 bin Laden was seen being congratulated for the attacks on Khobar Towers that killed 19 American servicemen.

in fact he was about to be kicked out of Afghanistan by the Taliban who didn't want him there.

I believe that your statement is contracted by the classified March 2001 report titled Taliban Holding Firm on Bin Ladin for Now

You can't lie your way out of the fact that the right wing supported al Qaeda prior to 9/11
