Reply #90: not really.

The claim that al qaeda does not exist is mostly a claim that al qaeda is a front for the cia. I think that claim is a bit strong. There was in 2001 a commonality of interest between muslim extremist militants and the neocon faction of the governing elites of our nation. That common interest expressed itself as the attack on NYC and DC and the subsequent invasion of Iraq. What the relationship is now between the Saudi royals, the neocon faction, and the sunni jihadists is a good question. Nine years and at least one trillion dollars later it remains puzzling that bin Laden is not captured.
