In the years preceding 9/11 Osama bin Laden was a young freedom fighter who promised American officials -- to help them to oust the Soviets from Afghanistan.
Following the defeat of the Soviets and the fall of the Berlin Wall capitalism was triumphant and communism was gone.
But in 1991 when the United States invaded Iraq for the first time we establish military bases in Italy and revered by -- Furious that the American government for desecrating their lands.
Bin Laden and his maniacal associates began plans that would lead to the clash of civilizations.
That culminated in the tragic events of 9/11.
But the signs of trouble were apparent after the bombings of the American embassies in Africa and the initial bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993.
It's now become increasingly clear that the Clinton administration should have done something.
Michael shorter claims have been -- was identified as the mastermind of those attacks.
And was targeted multiple times and could've been captured and tried for these assaults.

-- answer -- how many persons have been tried for committing the attacks on 9/11.
Answer.
Nine.
Why is the government afraid of the truth.
In the days after 9/11 well the country wept on the warhawks -- for blood.
One quiet voice rang out from the despair and offered a simple solution to solve our problems in a manner set forth in the constitution.
Texas congressman Ron Paul offered legislation.
To authorize the president to send paid assassins.
To capture or kill bin Laden and his cohorts.
It would of course just a few 100000 dollars instead of the two trillion dollars -- presidents bush and Obama.
Have borrowed and spent on our war is in the Middle East.
But that -- was drowned out in the ocean of cheers and cries from -- and occupation regime change.
The bill failed on the wars came on the blood -- in the borrowing of cash couldn't come fast enough.
Now here we stand.
A decade after the attacks with thousands more dead and the bill for two trillion dollars that needs to be paid.
What are we -- America.
Do they truly hate us for our freedoms or for our presence and their lands.
Of the terrorists won this war already by getting us to surrender our most basic rights in return for a false sense of security.
Are the constitution.
And our economy stronger now after this tragedy.
Are they infinitely weaker.
We will continue to ask all of this here on freedom watch.
Freedom watch has never forgotten the victims who were slaughtered.
And the heroes who died trying to save them.
The firefighters and police responded will forever be iconic.
Of the bravery that was necessary to save those who could be saved.
And god bless the troops they don't belong there when they leave chaos will and sue and -- I profoundly rejected their mission.
I am in law of the selfless men and women who have served their country honorably and well.
One day are descendants will know the answers to all of this.
Will you.
