OSAMA WAS OUR BUDDY!
OsamaGate
by MICHEL CHOSSUDOVSKY
'Now the Taliban will pay a price' vowed President George W. Bush, as American and British fighter planes unleashed
missile attacks against major cities in Afghanistan.
The US Administration claims that Osama bin Laden is behind the tragic events of the 11th of September.
A major war supposedly 'against international terrorism' has been launched, yet the evidence amply confirms that
agencies of the US government have since the Cold War harbored the 'Islamic Militant Network' as part of Washington's
foreign policy agenda
