Economy.

This is coolbert:

From ONLY TODAY this item discussed on the radio talk show airways.

American commercial aviation once again in the cross-hairs of those surviving remnants of Al Qaeda. Terrorists suicide bombers with explosive devices surgically implanted into their bodies escaping all known means of detection able to bring down and airliner with immense and total loss of life. So it is thought this is the intention of Al Qaeda as a means of demonstrating staying-power sans the supreme leader [OBL].

MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, A DISLOCATION AND "CRASHING DOWN" OF THE AMERICAN ECONOMY THE GOAL!

AS IT WAS IN THOSE DAYS IMMEDIATELY AFTER 9/11, AS IT IS NOW!!

 "Osama Bin Laden Wanted 9/11 Follow-Up to Doom Economy, Terrorist Says"

"A convicted terrorist said that shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, Osama bin Laden told him that the next attack would strike a fatal blow to the American economy."

"In a video testimony played in a New York court Monday, Saajid Badat, who was convicted in London of a December 2001 plot to blow up a U.S.-bound flight with a bomb in his shoes, recounted his meeting with the al Qaeda leader just after the 9/11 attacks."

"'he [bin Laden]  said the American economy is like a chain,' . . . 'If you break one -- one link of the chain, the whole economy will be brought down. So after [the] Sept. 11 attacks, this operation will ruin the aviation industry and in turn the whole economy will come down.'"

It can be reasonably inferred to that in the months prior to 9/11 and the attacks on WTC and the Pentagon MORE THAN A FEW FOLKS KNOW THAT A CALAMITY WAS GOING TO OCCUR, BUT THAT A "CRASH" OF THE AMERICAN STOCK MARKET WAS INEVITABLE!!

Bob Brinker the radio talk show investment guru heard weekends recalling how several months prior to 9/11 receiving a phone call from a person [speaking English with a foreign accent] describing how there was going to be "something big" happen in the next few months that would be fatal for the American stock market.

Stocks in the aviation, travel, hotel, and tourist industry all to decline precipitously in value AND IT KNOWN FOR A FACT THAT ACCOUNTS ESTABLISHED BEFORE 9/11 SELLING "SHORT" STOCKS IN THOSE SECTORS REAPING IMMENSE PROFITS FOR THE HOLDERS, THOSE OWNERS OF THE ACCOUNTS NEVER CLAIMING THEIR MONEY!!

[too many questions would be asked!!]

OBL not entirely wrong about his assumption but not entirely correct either, the American economy too resilient and robust, able to respond to changing conditions in an effective and comparatively fast and quick manner!! This IS SO!
