    911 was terrible but I never worried about america folding.

    the goal of Osama bin Laden was to get the US into such a fucking quagmire that it would collapse by running out of money.

    Sometimes I think he succeeded.

      Oh he absolutely succeeded. 9/11 wasn’t just an attack, it was a plan. Bin Laden detailed it in his videos, he knew exactly how the US government would react. Everything has unfolded according to his plan. Better, even. The ascension of Trump was even part of that plan. Bin Laden may be in hell, but he’s smiling.
