osama bin laden was "depressed"?

[45calibre]

according to this article bin laden became depressed after al-qaida began to fall apart. i guess maybe he thought that the US would not hunt him down after 9/11?

I would be depressed too if i knew that the entire civilized world wanted my mounted head hanging on the wall.

Maybe he became depressed after the billions of dollars the CIA gave him ran out. Bin Laden is a U.S. asset. The CIA helped him create Al Qaeda, funded them, trained them, and radicalized them. On record.

lets also not forget that he basically succeeded in what he set out to do. Sure we 'killed" him but the price we are still paying is much higher than one mans life.

Mindless myrmidons will believe anything, especially if they're predisposed to see conspiracies behind every curtain. There wasn't a single "fact" in Rambone's comment, just a semi-religious belief in the evils of the US gummint.

Wow, that is depressing!!

Just think, if he'd owed back taxes, the IRS would have found him much quicker.

Except it's all true. We financed his people when the Soviets went into Afghanistan. We supplied money, weapons, training, and propaganda to most of the Middle East. We're now fighting the monster we had a hand in making.

Well, at least now he's cured.

"No facts," he says. Denial is a stinky cologne, Blackhawk. This isn't exactly some recent development in American history. But it is widely ignored by the religious supporters of the Federal Government.


Who is Osama Bin Laden? | BBC News
"...Bin Laden left Saudi Arabia in 1979 to fight against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The Afghan jihad was backed with American dollars and had the blessing of the governments of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. He received security training from the CIA itself."

Who Is Osama Bin Laden? | Forbes
"...[Osama bin Laden] received military and financial assistance from the intelligence services of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the United States."

Osama Bin Laden: Profile of a Terror Leader | ABC News
"In the 1980s, bin Laden left his comfortable Saudi home for Afghanistan to participate in the Afghan jihad, or holy war, against the invading forces of the Soviet Union - a cause that, ironically, the United States funded, pouring $3 billion into the Afghan resistance via the CIA."




Resistance fighters learned jihad from U.S. textbooks
In the twilight of the Cold War, the United States spent millions of dollars to supply Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings, part of covert attempts to spur resistance to the Soviet occupation. The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system's core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books, though the radical movement scratched out human faces in keeping with its strict fundamentalist code.
