Hey guys I was thinking while driving home from work tonight and it just hit me. Do you think maybe our Government is trying to mislead everybody right now? I was thinking that maybe the primary target for our revenge will not be Bin Laden. Think about it for a moment.
According to all the news this attack required and support of 100 or more individuals and 5 years or more of planning and staging. These attackers needed good quality forged IDs, money, documented personal history, training, intelligence, etc. All this requires more resources than even Bin Laden could provide. That means it had to have support of a government. Which leads to what government would provide such support.
Obviously the first candidate is Afghanistan but I don’t think they would get involved in such attack at this time because they know US would retaliate and they can not afford that right now because the Northern Alliance would take advantage of the situation to fight back and Northern Alliance may get US help (intelligence and material).
Second candidate is Iran but IMO not likely as they are trying to behave these days so they can improve their relationship with the West.
Third is North Korea but not likely as they are having too much problems internally trying to feed themselves to get involved in such act.
Forth potential candidate is Libya but they have been behaving lately and I don’t think they hate us enough to get involved in such massive attack.
Other potential candidates include Sudan but they have no resources for such attack.
Final candidate and IMHO the most likely is Iraq. They have the resources, hate us enough and just plain crazy enough to do it.
So it is possible that our government is trying to make everybody think we are going to attack Ben Laden while the real battle plan is to attack Iraq with their pants down? I have no doubt that we’ll take out Bin Laden and his supporters in Afghanistan but we would probably do it with a “surgical” strike while the real battle will take place against Iraq.
Does it sound like a crazy idea put together by a tired and overworked fool? What do you think?
