I remember around 2005 when OBL location was called out on CNN, i believe. The blue curtain behind OBL wasnt covering the cave location.

Soon after bunker buster thermobaric bombs destroyed the area and the belief was he was dead or severly injured that would lead to death.

Anyway,

OBL was going to purge the Marxist Islamic groups in the Arabian peninsula, but was stopped and abandoned by the Saudi govt.

So they were protecting them from him.

Once 9/11 happened, OBL got the target on his back and now they can make him go away.

OBL took the bait. His self righteous violence was used against him.

Why would royal families across the world protect Marxist terrorist groups from everyone else?
