threat for all the world. It isnt the truth. The real reason
is in money laundering and also to cover up traces after acts
of terrorism September, 11, 2001. Are real proofs of
connection between Bush and Al-Qaeda necessary for you?
Please! There is a friendly dialogue between Bin Laden and the
secretary of a state security of USA in the given photos. In
the following photo you'll see, how FBI discusses how to
strike over New York to lose people as much as possible. And
the document representing the super confidential agreement
between CIA and Al-Qaeda is submitted to your attention. All
this circus was specially played to powder brains!! You'll
find out the truth. Naked truth, instead of TV showed.
