If It Is Bin Laden, He's A Very Intelligent Guy. He's Been Planning His War For A Long Time. I Remember The Last Time I Met Him In 1997 In Afghanistan. And Bin Laden Said To Me "from This Mountain, Mr. Robert, Upon Which You Are Sitting, We Beat The Russian Army And Helped Break The Soviet Union. And I Pray To God That He Allows Us To Turn America Into A Shadow Of Itself." When I Saw The Pictures Of New York Without The World Trade Center, New York Looked Like A Shadow Of Itself.

Bin Laden Was Very Keen To Point Out To Me That His Forces Had Fought The Americans In Somalia. He Also Wanted To Talk About How Many Mullahs In Pakistan Were Putting Up Posters Saying, "we Follow Bin Laden." He Even Produced A Sort Of Kodak Set Of Snapshots Of Graffiti Supporting Him.
