Robert Fisk Bin Quotations

Bin Laden always wanted to get rid of Mubarek and Ben Ali and Gaddafi and so on, claiming that they were all infidels working for America, and in fact, it was millions of ordinary people who peacefully, more or less - certainly in the case of Tunisia and Egypt - got rid of them.

To look for bin Laden now is as useful as detaining nuclear scientists after the creation of the atomic bomb.

Bin Laden is not well read and he's not sophisticated, but he will have worked out very coldly what America would do.

I don't know what happens if they get bin Laden. I'm much more interested in what happens if they don't get bin Laden.
