This is not good, and has come after a whole bunch of recent american attacks around the northern boarder areas of Pakistan. My father is from Pakistan and most of my family are from out there and the concesus is that the people are fired up now and ready to do something stupid. Im quite worried because my dad actually just left home in London about 15minutes ago to go on trip to northern Pakistan where he is from.

Actually, the Al-Qaeda and the Taliban started it when they hijacked 4 planes and decided to kill nigh on 3000 innocent people with them.

But then hey, all the cool kids and idiots blame the Yanks so it must be true. :rolleyes:

They allowed 9/11 to happen.

You're not a terrorist are you and have Bin Laden's memory stick from a camera that quite clearly shows he was on holiday in Mali when the the **** happened do you?

its not my penis, i swear

this is interesting, Bin Laden is obviously in the top ten of the 10 most wanted criminals from the FBI website......but hang on.....no mention of 9/11 on his crimes?

and when the FBI were asked why this is they said it was because there was

“No hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11”

sambo_joseph · 20 Sep 2008 at 18:42

I should try find the video of a US congress spokeswoman who says bin laden had nothing to do with it, it was some other chappy

ooo about 56 days.

Seriously though, I doubt the bombers will be in a condition to breathe never mind get on a plane and fly to england.
