i see wut Mendenhall iz sayin though cuz Qlquida never claimed the attack... usally a terrorist attack is followed by the terrorist org claiming its victory there was no such case of thet in 9/11
Just another crazy conspiracy theory. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for that attack and many others numerous times. They also claimed it right after it happened. The article that you posted was written 5 months after the attack.
The withdrawal of the Soviet Union from Afghanistan creates a power vacuum, and the US-sponsored mujahideen movement is able to slowly seize control from the fragile communist government. Osama Bin Laden and other fighters within the group form al-Qaeda, meaning “the base”, and begin focusing on holy wars abroad.

i cant say i give a fuck if this guy wants to have retarded conspiracy theory thoughts, but if you are a professional athlete in the public eye, you just dont say stupid shit. even normal everyday people can think this, just not say it unless they want to be beat up...
im a die hard steelers fan but come on mendenhall, bin laden WAS (HAHAHAHHA) a huge piece of shit and im defenitely glad he's dead. but i will admit in mendenhall's defense that it is somewhat hard to grasp the fact that 1 plane can collapse an entiring building that size because i wondered the same thing right after it first happened but after seeing all these arcitects and whatnot explain that is very much possible my mind was quickly changed. and bin laden made tons of video tapes where he threatened america and talked about how much he hated america. he WAS (HAHAHAHHAHA) the fuckin' leader of a group of terrorists lol. we heard both sides of the story. we paid bin laden to help defeat the russians and end the cold war. then bin laden wanted our help with something else he wanted to do (i cant remember what it was) and we said no, he got pissed and thats probably why he attacked us, theres the story right there lol. i'm mildly dissappointed in mendenhall. now lets all go in the streets and celebrate with some AMERICAN beer........USA, BITCHES!!!! HAHAHAHA
