This is such crap! The cia- Eric station, were so obsessed & cocky, they refused to share important information with the FBI. Go watch their 9/11 interviews when being questioned for the 9/11 commission! Watch the looming tower, & the man who knew. They hated John o’Neil because they didn’t want him getting or having any information to corroborate or add to what he already had on UBL because THEY were so damn afraid of not getting credit & their ego boosted. Eric stations “sources” were shit which is why they kept being wrong when trying to get UBL! The hijacker’s & many people within our government are to blame for 9/11. And none of them will answer for it like they should
Alec Station-the Bin Laden desk. Also, one should never confuse sheer stupidity with malice. A mistake is only an error, until one fails to correct it. And most of what one hears is just somebody elses opinion on the subject. (Marcus Aurelias) Real actionable intelligence is hard to come by. And nobody wants to be the guy (without a chair) once the music stops.
Great documentary, great topic, great narration. I really, really wish the producers let up on the dramatic music, even a little - it cheapens the show. I know when to be emotionally invested, I don’t need the music to dictate it to me. Pet peeve of mine admittedly - but heartfelt none the less
The cia made him their terrorist leader in 1977. They never had to look for him because they always knew where he was due to him being their leader. From the start as al qaeda, then changed it to taliban, then changed it to isis, and finally changed it to u.s. Altho he was executed 2•6•2011 [2nd May 2011] along with his husband Micheal, the terrosist group still functioned without a leader for a short time after. As soon as they changed the name from isis to u.s., many where tracked down and executed. There are still 336 million terrorists in the l.o.s.

Y’all forgot that this started on January 17, 1991, for operations leading to the buildup of troops and defense of Saudi Arabia in the Gulf War against Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Bin Laden never liked the idea of America and Europe getting involved in Arabian issues because Americans didn’t send military troops on the ground in the Afghanistan war against the USSR regime and only provided weapons and equipment to fight against them. He was expecting the same support, not military forces on the ground, because he thought he could take on the fight against Iraq, but that never happened and after the war, that is when he started his war against the United States and other allies that were involved in the conflict. Get this straight.
Sending US troops on the ground in the Soviet-Afghan war was an impossibility; that would've been the start of WWIII. It's like saying we should send American troops to Ukraine today, it's simply impossible geopolitically. Btw those weapons and equipment caused the Soviet withdrawal so idk what the issue was. A little payback for Vietnam in that regard too as the Soviets (and Chinese) provided plenty of military aid for the NLF/VC
No they didn't, during Operation Cyclone in the 1980's Pakistan was who funneled all the money and arms to the fighter's in Afghanistan and they had a policy of not giving any money, arms or any kind of training to any of the fighter's that came from countries outside of Afghanistan, all of them had to entirely fund themselves, it's even pointed out in this video that Bin Laden was a hit in Afghanistan during that time because of his family's money he was throwing around when he was there. It's a myth that Bin Laden was ever given any kind of money, arms or training by the CIA, they didn't even run that part of things in Afghanistan with the exception of CIA training Afghans on how to use Stinger missile's, they had to because it was a US weapon but only Afghans were given them and received the training for them as per Pakistans policy. Quit spreading fake news.
I am not an American but a citizen of the world. I remember vividly returning home at 9pm seeing the news breaking in Singapore that the twin towers were attacked. I was numb, literally. Many years later, was out with my wife stepping into a 7-11 outlet when again the news broke, that Osama has been hunted down and killed. I am a Muslim so i had to say a prayer for him. However, I was relieved in the fact that the world could now ease back on the the threat of terrorism. Yes, we need to be vigilant always. Singapore was nearly attacked by Al Qaeda's affiliate, which they had targeted US servicemen and the American embassy.
The story of the CIA’s Alec Station, also known as the Bin Laden Issue Station, is one of the most critical chapters in the history of modern U.S. intelligence. Alec Station was established in 1996 with the sole mission of gathering intelligence on Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the al-Qaeda terrorist network. It played a crucial role in the years leading up to and following the September 11, 2001 attacks.
I had no idea the WTC was attacked before 9/11 I've watched soooo many doccos on it and not once was that mentioned...it seems like a pretty important detail, atleast contextually.
Had clinton listened more attentively and been less scared.. There might never have been a 9/11.... I knew it was Saudi Arabia, but I never tied it to bin laden...and I never knew HE originated the words al kaida...AND taliban....!!! What an eye opener this was!!!
No questions what so ever on why National Security Advisor Condi Rice on TV stated that no one could imagine that somwone would drive a plane into a building like that, a clip that later has been hard to trace and find. Either she was blatantly lying, or she wasn't fit for the job. One of so many highly dubious factors about 9/11.
I was 23 years old on 9/11. My friend who worked in tower 2 called me and told me that a plane had hit the World Trade Center Tower. My friend lived in Long Island and for some strange reason the power in his neighborhood had gone out at night or very early morning and his alarm clock didn’t wake him up so he missed work that day. He told me to turn the tv on because it was on every channel. About 3-4 minutes after turning the tv on we seen the second plane hit the other tower. My brother,we lived together,just looked at each other and where like “Are we watching a Micheal Bay movie?” Like WTF is going on. We lived in Newport News Virginia at the time. We get a call from our boss and he said that we have the day off today. A few of the guys we worked with would always stop by our condo before going into work and they showed up a few minutes after the second tower was hit. They had heard on the radio in their cars on the way over. We all sat there and watched this all unfold live. I was going to go up to the gas station and get us all some drinks because our fridge was empty. As I’m walking to my car my brother runs out and says “The Pentagon just got hit”. I thought that he was joking because my brother is a clown but I could tell by the look on his face that he was dead serious. I ran in to see for myself and then after about 15-20 minutes I said that I’m going up to the store to get us drinks. I will never forget that drive up to the store. There were no cars on the road. It looked like a ghost town. Everyone was inside watching this all go down. When I got back about 10 minutes after the first tower fell and we were like “there’s no freaking way “. There were news reports of “secondary explosions “ being reported that day constantly. It’s funny that when you go back and watch the footage of 9/11 you don’t hear about the “secondary explosions “. I find that very strange. Then the second tower fell and we all didn’t believe it. Then at about 5:00 pm there was a BBC reporter who was reporting that Building 7 had just fallen,that it had just collapsed but building 7 was right there in the background. Then about 15-20 minutes later 7 comes down. It wasn’t struck by a plane or anything like that. I remember watching a live news feed of firefighters and cops telling the media and people who were out on the street to get back that building 7 was about to come down. How did they know that it was going to come down. Then a couple years later we see an interview with Larry Silverstein who purchases the World trade center complex when nobody in their right mind wanted to buy this asbestos filled complex that was estimated to cost about a billion dollars to have all the asbestos cleaned up from the complex. Larry purchased the complex 6 weeks prior to 9/11 for pennies on the dollar out of his pocket. He said in this interview that they made a decision to “pull the building,7” Pull means bring the building down with explosives. I don’t know what people know about rigging a skyscraper for controlled demolition but it takes way more than a day to do it. These things take weeks to do. All the supporting columns need to be drilled and filled with explosives that are detonated all at a certain time in order for the building to collapse in on itself. There have been so many architects and engineers who have come forward talking about that this was a controlled demolition and I believe them 100%. Then when people started asking questions as to the towers and building 7 collapsing the way they did,they were attacked and called non patriotic. How dare you ask questions. You should believe what the government tells you. They were saying “how dare you? Have some respect for the people who died” It’s like I am showing them respect by trying to find out what really happened because what we are being told doesn’t make any sense. Like they said that ground zero and the air in lower manhattan was perfectly safe to breathe. Then 90% of the first responders got cancer from most likely all that asbestos and were treated like shit when they needed medical help. I was still young but that’s when I lost all faith in the US government. As I got older I started doing my own research on 9/11 ,JFK,MK ULTRA and many other things. We have been lied to so many times that it’s just par for the course. I’ve heard many people say “that’s the government,that’s what they do. They lie all the time “. People have just accepted this which is wrong. We are not supposed to just accept the fact that the government,military and three letter agencies just constantly lie to us. I’m 46 years old and I have seen this country change so dramatically from the time I was 15-16 years old when I first started paying attention to world events and the news to what it’s turned into today. It’s absolutely disgusting to watch. But so many people have woken up and are seeing through all the bullshit that’s been going on for the last 20 years. Guys who I have a ton of respect for like Shawn Ryan,definitely go and check out Shawn’s podcast if you haven’t. There’s a reason why he has millions of followers. So many former special forces guys are talking now,ex CIA, former government contractors and officials are coming forward because they are sick about what’s going on in this country. President Eisenhower warned us all about this in his farewell speech in 1961 prior to JFK taking over. He warned us about the Military Industrial Complex and everything he said over 60 years ago had come true.
That's what they say Obama was not from USA BORN,, BUT A FOREIGN COUNTRY. WAKE UP AMERICA WE HAVE GLOBALISTS WITH IN FOR ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT ONE WORLD CHURCH AND ONE WORLD LEADER THE ANTICHRIST SATAN. ITS WRITTEN. REVELATION 13. NEXT RIGHT NOW, NEAR, WW3 REVELATION 9:13-21 200 MILLION SOLDIERS WILL FIGHT AND 1/3 OF POPULATION WILL DIE. IT'S WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE GODS WORD PROPHECY FULFILLMENT! RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES and J3SUS WILL COME FOR HIS BRIDE. MEETING IN THE CLOUDS!
I really don’t think we give our former President Barack Obama enough recognition and respect, for having the balls and the courage to do with no other president in the United States of America for the past two terms could do, or would do. God bless America and thank you Mr. former President Obama, from having the courage to get the job finished.
Yes, President Obama made a courageous decision that had eluded Presidents Clinton and Bush. He knew very well that a similar daring and risky operation--that one to free American hostages in Iran--had lead to the death of American soldiers and probably the electoral loss of President Carter.
Papa Bush had a lot of oil business connections with the many siblings of Osama. The Laden family is a big Saudi family and Papa Bush was meeting them frequently before 911.
I worked with Mike Scheuer after he left "ALEC station" and had spent 3 months in exile in the CIA library. He was chief of two branches in the DCI/CIA's Counter Narcotics Center (CNC). There he was able to fight the very very inexpensive heroin flooding into Europe made by the Taliban. On 9/11 I had been working for Mike in CNC for about 6 months running the Thailand desk and we were standing watching the TV in CNC when the second plane hit the World Trade Center. Michael Scheuer was at that moment in history was LITERALLY the saddest man on planet Earth because he had tried and failed to warn both Clinton and Bush to the point where they almost fired him. He also later warned not to stay in Afghanistan, that failed too ending with the Biden fucked up withdrawal 13 dead three years ago August 2021. 9/11 was an FBI fuck up, everybody said it was a law enforcement issue, that the FBI would take care of it, that CIA had no role to play, but the FBI was CLUELESS, being arrogant shit birds they NEVER listened to any CIA people who they thought were stupid because if you ain't FBI you ain't shit, FBI knew next to NOTHING about Al Qaeda, had no people overseas, were idiots. So Mike had to stand by on 9/11/2001 and watch it all happen. Of course, FBI has the best PR in history, came out smelling like a rose, nobody ever focused on the fact CIA warned them over and over and over and instead the whole intel community was unnecessarily reorganized. Fork me.
Even after having all these information, USA still trained those terrorists to fly planes, carry box cutters to the cabin and paid the price with the lives of those innocent civilians.
he made no plan for an escape and ended up trapped like a rat waiting to get executed with noplace to exit. he could have easily dug a getaway tunnel. Some people just don't know how to panic constructively. He never asked himself "what if",.
Politics and diplomacy. After defeating the Taliban (temporarily unfortunately), the U.S. was already trying to nation build and develop alliances for a new Afghan government. It was a stupid decision based upon wishful thinking.
They did not want him in a public proces. The Americans were afraid of the truth. He had nothing to do with Twintowers. There fore they waited to kill him in the field
Sometimes I wonder if it were possible to capture him alive. However, given the state of our entertainment industry, he probably would’ve gotten his own reality series.
Awesome story... but totally different from what the DIA operators are currently talking about on available credible podcasts. Just shows how many teams were put to task on this case of interest.
They knew 30minutes after the second plane hit the ex foreign minister of isreal just happen to be at the BBC news station naming bin Laden 😂😂😂. How did he know? The FBI said they had zeri evidence in Bin Laden.
He knew because at the time there wasn’t a more competent intelligence service in the world than Israel’s Mossad. Unfortunately, their reputation took a serious hit on October 7, 2023.
Abbotabad is a famous tourist destination home to many high schools of top level ... I was there when American helicopters came at night and one of the gunships crashed ... We were there for night stay going to kaghan valley.. let me tell you that Pakistani people have no idea that osama was living there as Pakistan was first line ally of America in war against terror and it was a very very big humiliation for our government that the highest value target of this war was hiding at striking distance from the only military academy of Pakistan at kakool abbotabad...
@@patrickokpe6315 All I am going to say is, I remember when 9/11 happened and the US Government wanted Bin Laden "Dead or Alive". Not just Dead. The fact that they didn't stick to what they originally stated is ridiculous and mind boggling. And rightfully so.
Almost every documentary or scholarly journal fails to mention his doctor who delivered treatment and his family’s medication. He received part of the 27 million bounty, but sources to credit him have disappeared over the years.
Exactly……there’s no way it would take 10 years….15 years…or even a month to find and kill him if they actually wanted….and his death is opaque and sounds very fishy

It has always baffled me why the CIA took so long to find him when they knew about him and his family for years
The cia made him their terrorist leader in 1977. They never had to look for him because they always knew where he was due to him being their leader. From the start as al qaeda, then changed it to taliban, then changed it to isis, and finally changed it to u.s. Altho he was executed 2•6•2011 [2nd May 2011] along with his husband Micheal, the terrosist group still functioned without a leader for a short time after. As soon as they changed the name from isis to u.s., many where tracked down and executed. There are still 336 million terrorists in the l.o.s.

Like my grandfather always told me. You can write anything on paper to make it look & sound good
Well i hope he don't believe in the Bible 😂😂😂
They used a internet company called Paltalk to communicate . I was the Canadian that reported that to both the RCMP and the FBI as well as local police . Did that and only one day later it was made known that they had used an American chat site to comm. Glad I was able to help

Because Pakistan is in the N-Club. You don't mess with Members of the N-Club.

Thank you very informative.
They knew where he was at all times they just didnt want to end profitable wars
Y’all forgot that this started on January 17, 1991, for operations leading to the buildup of troops and defense of Saudi Arabia in the Gulf War against Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Bin Laden never liked the idea of America and Europe getting involved in Arabian issues because Americans didn’t send military troops on the ground in the Afghanistan war against the USSR regime and only provided weapons and equipment to fight against them. He was expecting the same support, not military forces on the ground, because he thought he could take on the fight against Iraq, but that never happened and after the war, that is when he started his war against the United States and other allies that were involved in the conflict. Get this straight.
Sending US troops on the ground in the Soviet-Afghan war was an impossibility; that would've been the start of WWIII. It's like saying we should send American troops to Ukraine today, it's simply impossible geopolitically.
Btw those weapons and equipment caused the Soviet withdrawal so idk what the issue was. A little payback for Vietnam in that regard too as the Soviets (and Chinese) provided plenty of military aid for the NLF/VC
Wasn’t Bush’s father head of the CIA at one time?
Yes&he was Potus also.
Yes.
The elder Bush literally hand delivered forms of payment to Bin Laden’s second in charge
Imagine being so lost and thinking you are on to something, lmao
No 😖.. .😢 I hate facts ! 😭
43:36 Who dropped the ball on bin Laden? Here you go.
They had every idea how hard it would be , THEY TRAINED HIM !!! .
No they didn't, during Operation Cyclone in the 1980's Pakistan was who funneled all the money and arms to the fighter's in Afghanistan and they had a policy of not giving any money, arms or any kind of training to any of the fighter's that came from countries outside of Afghanistan, all of them had to entirely fund themselves, it's even pointed out in this video that Bin Laden was a hit in Afghanistan during that time because of his family's money he was throwing around when he was there.
It's a myth that Bin Laden was ever given any kind of money, arms or training by the CIA, they didn't even run that part of things in Afghanistan with the exception of CIA training Afghans on how to use Stinger missile's, they had to because it was a US weapon but only Afghans were given them and received the training for them as per Pakistans policy.
Quit spreading fake news.
@@dukecraig2402He was their leader. They didn't have to train him. He was just as natural a terrosist as they are.
I am not an American but a citizen of the world. I remember vividly returning home at 9pm seeing the news breaking in Singapore that the twin towers were attacked. I was numb, literally. Many years later, was out with my wife stepping into a 7-11 outlet when again the news broke, that Osama has been hunted down and killed. I am a Muslim so i had to say a prayer for him. However, I was relieved in the fact that the world could now ease back on the the threat of terrorism. Yes, we need to be vigilant always. Singapore was nearly attacked by Al Qaeda's affiliate, which they had targeted US servicemen and the American embassy.
Weird they didnt talk about osama bin laden working for the cia between 1980-2000
Because he didn't.
Because he didn't.
Thank you for this great documentary.
This was a good documentary
Great documentary!!!
Did they mention the Cole bombing?
No, I didn't hear anything about the USS COLE TRICKLE.
@@kevinroark5024Whoa NASCAR. Rusty Wallace please .!! Later
The story of the CIA’s Alec Station, also known as the Bin Laden Issue Station, is one of the most critical chapters in the history of modern U.S. intelligence. Alec Station was established in 1996 with the sole mission of gathering intelligence on Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the al-Qaeda terrorist network. It played a crucial role in the years leading up to and following the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Makes me wonder what was they doing in Iraq 🤨
Good documentary, but omitting the Millennial and Cole attacks brings into question the film’s accuracy. RIP Jennifer Matthews.
It’s not accurate at all… it is the narrative that our government wants us to believe
I had no idea the WTC was attacked before 9/11 I've watched soooo many doccos on it and not once was that mentioned...it seems like a pretty important detail, atleast contextually.
Not sure what docos you watched but its mentioned too often, first attack happened in 1993.
There is precedent for returning to a target previously attacked.
Who are you
Trust me… they left out a lot
Everyone knows about it
I was in USA when all the event took place.I was living in Florida by that time.
Many news reports, easily , interviewed Bin Laden , but the CIA couldn’t find him !!!
You had a Black Hawk Down episode, then now a chopper malfunctioning on this mission…best of the best. Really?
I've lost respect for the 4mer A.M president.😡
So was one of the “Sisterhood” killed in the suicide bombing at one of our outposts as was suggested in the movie?
Wow what a awesome job God Bless the USA
Had clinton listened more attentively and been less scared.. There might never have been a 9/11....
I knew it was Saudi Arabia, but I never tied it to bin laden...and I never knew HE originated the words al kaida...AND taliban....!!!
What an eye opener this was!!!
.oml
No questions what so ever on why National Security Advisor Condi Rice on TV stated that no one could imagine that somwone would drive a plane into a building like that, a clip that later has been hard to trace and find. Either she was blatantly lying, or she wasn't fit for the job. One of so many highly dubious factors about 9/11.
She was lying
She was very wellbteained and equipped for her job.
I was 23 years old on 9/11. My friend who worked in tower 2 called me and told me that a plane had hit the World Trade Center Tower. My friend lived in Long Island and for some strange reason the power in his neighborhood had gone out at night or very early morning and his alarm clock didn’t wake him up so he missed work that day. He told me to turn the tv on because it was on every channel. About 3-4 minutes after turning the tv on we seen the second plane hit the other tower. My brother,we lived together,just looked at each other and where like “Are we watching a Micheal Bay movie?” Like WTF is going on. We lived in Newport News Virginia at the time. We get a call from our boss and he said that we have the day off today. A few of the guys we worked with would always stop by our condo before going into work and they showed up a few minutes after the second tower was hit. They had heard on the radio in their cars on the way over. We all sat there and watched this all unfold live. I was going to go up to the gas station and get us all some drinks because our fridge was empty. As I’m walking to my car my brother runs out and says “The Pentagon just got hit”. I thought that he was joking because my brother is a clown but I could tell by the look on his face that he was dead serious. I ran in to see for myself and then after about 15-20 minutes I said that I’m going up to the store to get us drinks. I will never forget that drive up to the store. There were no cars on the road. It looked like a ghost town. Everyone was inside watching this all go down. When I got back about 10 minutes after the first tower fell and we were like “there’s no freaking way “. There were news reports of “secondary explosions “ being reported that day constantly. It’s funny that when you go back and watch the footage of 9/11 you don’t hear about the “secondary explosions “. I find that very strange. Then the second tower fell and we all didn’t believe it. Then at about 5:00 pm there was a BBC reporter who was reporting that Building 7 had just fallen,that it had just collapsed but building 7 was right there in the background. Then about 15-20 minutes later 7 comes down. It wasn’t struck by a plane or anything like that. I remember watching a live news feed of firefighters and cops telling the media and people who were out on the street to get back that building 7 was about to come down. How did they know that it was going to come down. Then a couple years later we see an interview with Larry Silverstein who purchases the World trade center complex when nobody in their right mind wanted to buy this asbestos filled complex that was estimated to cost about a billion dollars to have all the asbestos cleaned up from the complex. Larry purchased the complex 6 weeks prior to 9/11 for pennies on the dollar out of his pocket. He said in this interview that they made a decision to “pull the building,7” Pull means bring the building down with explosives. I don’t know what people know about rigging a skyscraper for controlled demolition but it takes way more than a day to do it. These things take weeks to do. All the supporting columns need to be drilled and filled with explosives that are detonated all at a certain time in order for the building to collapse in on itself. There have been so many architects and engineers who have come forward talking about that this was a controlled demolition and I believe them 100%. Then when people started asking questions as to the towers and building 7 collapsing the way they did,they were attacked and called non patriotic. How dare you ask questions. You should believe what the government tells you. They were saying “how dare you? Have some respect for the people who died” It’s like I am showing them respect by trying to find out what really happened because what we are being told doesn’t make any sense. Like they said that ground zero and the air in lower manhattan was perfectly safe to breathe. Then 90% of the first responders got cancer from most likely all that asbestos and were treated like shit when they needed medical help. I was still young but that’s when I lost all faith in the US government. As I got older I started doing my own research on 9/11 ,JFK,MK ULTRA and many other things. We have been lied to so many times that it’s just par for the course. I’ve heard many people say “that’s the government,that’s what they do. They lie all the time “. People have just accepted this which is wrong. We are not supposed to just accept the fact that the government,military and three letter agencies just constantly lie to us. I’m 46 years old and I have seen this country change so dramatically from the time I was 15-16 years old when I first started paying attention to world events and the news to what it’s turned into today. It’s absolutely disgusting to watch. But so many people have woken up and are seeing through all the bullshit that’s been going on for the last 20 years. Guys who I have a ton of respect for like Shawn Ryan,definitely go and check out Shawn’s podcast if you haven’t. There’s a reason why he has millions of followers. So many former special forces guys are talking now,ex CIA, former government contractors and officials are coming forward because they are sick about what’s going on in this country. President Eisenhower warned us all about this in his farewell speech in 1961 prior to JFK taking over. He warned us about the Military Industrial Complex and everything he said over 60 years ago had come true.
Just so you know....we not reading all that
Well said 👍🏼

@tomking7080 I can guarantee you that alot of people tried to read it and was like nope it's too long....you probably didn't read it either
Before 9/11, on A&E, the CIA admitted that they had uncovered a plot to fly a plane into tall buildings in the U.S.
The snake biting its own tail. Period.

That's what they say Obama was not from USA BORN,, BUT A FOREIGN COUNTRY. WAKE UP AMERICA WE HAVE GLOBALISTS WITH IN FOR ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT ONE WORLD CHURCH AND ONE WORLD LEADER THE ANTICHRIST SATAN. ITS WRITTEN. REVELATION 13.

RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES and J3SUS WILL COME FOR HIS BRIDE. MEETING IN THE CLOUDS!
I really don’t think we give our former President Barack Obama enough recognition and respect, for having the balls and the courage to do with no other president in the United States of America for the past two terms could do, or would do. God bless America and thank you Mr. former President Obama, from having the courage to get the job finished.
Yes, President Obama made a courageous decision that had eluded Presidents Clinton and Bush. He knew very well that a similar daring and risky operation--that one to free American hostages in Iran--had lead to the death of American soldiers and probably the electoral loss of President Carter.
😂😂 🤡🤡
He didn’t have a choice. Don’t give him that much credit…
Excellent video
Papa Bush had a lot of oil business connections with the many siblings of Osama. The Laden family is a big Saudi family and Papa Bush was meeting them frequently before 911.
And so the money flows then they throw little amounts of aid to the victims of the wars they cause
I worked with Mike Scheuer after he left "ALEC station" and had spent 3 months in exile in the CIA library. He was chief of two branches in the DCI/CIA's Counter Narcotics Center (CNC). There he was able to fight the very very inexpensive heroin flooding into Europe made by the Taliban. On 9/11 I had been working for Mike in CNC for about 6 months running the Thailand desk and we were standing watching the TV in CNC when the second plane hit the World Trade Center. Michael Scheuer was at that moment in history was LITERALLY the saddest man on planet Earth because he had tried and failed to warn both Clinton and Bush to the point where they almost fired him. He also later warned not to stay in Afghanistan, that failed too ending with the Biden fucked up withdrawal 13 dead three years ago August 2021. 9/11 was an FBI fuck up, everybody said it was a law enforcement issue, that the FBI would take care of it, that CIA had no role to play, but the FBI was CLUELESS, being arrogant shit birds they NEVER listened to any CIA people who they thought were stupid because if you ain't FBI you ain't shit, FBI knew next to NOTHING about Al Qaeda, had no people overseas, were idiots. So Mike had to stand by on 9/11/2001 and watch it all happen. Of course, FBI has the best PR in history, came out smelling like a rose, nobody ever focused on the fact CIA warned them over and over and over and instead the whole intel community was unnecessarily reorganized. Fork me.
The Afghans and Vietnamese we're underestimated by the yanks & the yanks paid the price for it
Might doesn’t mean right! Sloppy moves
Nevelle chamberland had "Peace in our time" paper from Hitler and the English under estimated the argentine missiles ....
gotchya, you can run but you sure can't hide ...
Even after having all these information, USA still trained those terrorists to fly planes, carry box cutters to the cabin and paid the price with the lives of those innocent civilians.
Inside job
Wow, great video.
George Bush was friends with the BIN LADEN Family. They were extremely rich.
bunch of actors ffs
Pearl harbor has repeated itself all over again "whats next" lol 😅
How did Bill O Reilly of 60minutes find bin Laden for that interview in a cave?? But nobody else can find him hmm.
He met with other members of Al qaeda who then blind folded and transported him
@@chrishumphrey3887 so who was liason to AlQuada? I know the CIA
Who created Al-Qaeda and funded again?
he made no plan for an escape and ended up trapped like a rat waiting to get executed with noplace to exit.
he could have easily dug a getaway tunnel. Some people just don't know how to panic constructively.
He never asked himself "what if",.
Why in the world did the military let Afghans to take the lead in trying to capture Bin Laden?
Politics and diplomacy. After defeating the Taliban (temporarily unfortunately), the U.S. was already trying to nation build and develop alliances for a new Afghan government. It was a stupid decision based upon wishful thinking.
Because the military was not in a hurry to get Bin Laden at all
They did not want him in a public proces. The Americans were afraid of the truth. He had nothing to do with Twintowers. There fore they waited to kill him in the field
Sometimes I wonder if it were possible to capture him alive. However, given the state of our entertainment industry, he probably would’ve gotten his own reality series.
Good one . Sad but true . Take care. Joey
Bill Clinton dropped the ball. Shocker.
Remember this is an entitled rich Arab. His daddy made him rich.
Was but I think he was cut off from family and monies lean while he hides for last 5 years as per news
You mean something like Donald Trump?
Awesome story... but totally different from what the DIA operators are currently talking about on available credible podcasts. Just shows how many teams were put to task on this case of interest.
They knew 30minutes after the second plane hit the ex foreign minister of isreal just happen to be at the BBC news station naming bin Laden 😂😂😂. How did he know? The FBI said they had zeri evidence in Bin Laden.
Hell no
USA knows the truth what happened in September 11 and they have their scape goats
He knew because at the time there wasn’t a more competent intelligence service in the world than Israel’s Mossad. Unfortunately, their reputation took a serious hit on October 7, 2023.
Not anymore
Even I, a regular Canadian citizen said bin laden after the 2nd plane.
Reader’s digest had an article about him.
Clinton was such a cat 😮
in us more than 3000 people were killed in afganistan that number is unknown
Unreal documentary. (in every way).
When he addressed the nation, I can honestly tell you it was the first time I called him my President.
Abbotabad is a famous tourist destination home to many high schools of top level ... I was there when American helicopters came at night and one of the gunships crashed ... We were there for night stay going to kaghan valley.. let me tell you that Pakistani people have no idea that osama was living there as Pakistan was first line ally of America in war against terror and it was a very very big humiliation for our government that the highest value target of this war was hiding at striking distance from the only military academy of Pakistan at kakool abbotabad...
Thanks for the details.

May 1, 2011: The moment in time where the term 'rules of engagement' went out the proverbial window and cold blooded murder was committed.
What are you trying to say?
@@patrickokpe6315 All I am going to say is, I remember when 9/11 happened and the US Government wanted Bin Laden "Dead or Alive". Not just Dead. The fact that they didn't stick to what they originally stated is ridiculous and mind boggling. And rightfully so.
You know that Seal Team 6 didn’t go into Pakistan under orders from the military but rather they were going in as a CIA unit.
Well the same cold blooded that happened on September 11
Brother did you want him alive?!
I call bullshit
CIA? Tracked him down?
You gotta be f'ing kidding me.
15 years looking, yeah I believe that part.
Are you deaf dumb and blind or did you not even watch the full video?
Almost every documentary or scholarly journal fails to mention his doctor who delivered treatment and his family’s medication. He received part of the 27 million bounty, but sources to credit him have disappeared over the years.
Classic Hollywood story !
Exactly……there’s no way it would take 10 years….15 years…or even a month to find and kill him if they actually wanted….and his death is opaque and sounds very fishy
Your right all bs
This video is like a CIA commercial - blames everyone but themselves....
