We've heard and seen so much about the 9-11 events

it took me a year to see the obvious.

With the resources of AlQuaeda and the personal fortune

of the Saudi bin Laden, why were there only 4 planes?

The attack was devastating beyond expectation, but why such

a half-assed effort. 100 men in the air would have been 20

planes, a major effort.

Add to that the chaos and fall-out of US fighters shooting down

civilian aircraft (probably some not hijacked) and you have a mess.

Was bin Laden blinkered or did something set him off early?

Just my little theory.

Interesting thoughts, that's for sure. Hope that maybe they just couldn't either get enough volunteers (??) or maybe enrolling them in flight schools would be too obvious with a hundred or more applying. Maybe some day we'll know.

Dicksbro, maybe one day.

Moderators, any chance of moving the thread to general chat?

fat finger syndrome.

OF, I heard that it must have been a big effort preparing the attacks. (I do not know if it is true). Perhaps that could have been the reason. At least I think that it was not easy.

This is not to hard to answer. First off the smaller the group the less likely they are to be discovered. Also maximum effect with minmum effort. UBL using a minimal amount of people was able to destroy the center of capitalism for the world. So to me it was impressive because they managed to do so much with so little. Whoever hatched the plan was deffinatly a criminal genius.

Thinker, UBL was astounded his plan bore such fruit.

He is not a minimalist.

He tried the same trick at the same place with a truck bomb.

I agree with thinker,

Lots of small cells acting independently ( but with the same goal) are harder to detect and more likely for at least one of them to succeed.
As i heard someone quote at the time " They only need to get lucky once, We need to be lucky all the time"

I'm ROTFLMAO.

Irish,

You're not planning on tricking Lilith in to punishing you?

For harbouring that thought alone you're probably for it!!

And get that smile off your face.

The depths of her anger are legendary.
