(19,240 posts)Why hasn't it gotten more press that up until his death Osama Bin Laden still had command and control of Al Qaeda.
This was a shocker, he was not living in a cave isolated, he was communicating with his network and planning attacks against the US as the leader of Al Qaeda. This should have been headline news for months. We were lied to in order to cover up the Bush failure in Tora Bora. My god, Bin Laden was still the largest active threat to our safety and they tried to hide that from us, where is the outrage!!!???
