#2 No surprise here.

HMMMMM, iff my old Afghan War cohort OSAMA was truly intent on attacking and destroying the WH + Congress, SUICIDE TRUCKS OR SUIC COMMANDO-SAPPER TEAH COULD HAD ACHIEVED IT AND AT HIGHER PAN-SUCCESS PROB THAN USING AIRLINERS. IMB the only pragmatic utility of using commercial airliners in that fashion on 9-11-2001 would be as a HIGH-PROFILE, SELECT POLITICAL-MEDIA STATEMENT.

As a WAR/ATTACK METHOD, many of the CIVILIAN deaths at the WTC may arguably be UNAVOIDABLE, BUT IMO OSAMA's CREDIBILITY + PRESTIGE, INCLUD FOR RADICAL ISLAM, WOULD HAD BEEN GREATER IFF THE AIRLINER CIVILIANS WERE NOT INVOLVED.

'TIS POLITICS + CORRECTNESS, NOT WAR.

Methinks ZARKEY = ZARQHAWI would agree wid me.

#3 HIGH-PROFILE, SELECT POLITICAL-MEDIA STATEMENT

Not solely. It disrupted an industry, placed constraints on the freedom of travel, forced a government to take actions that impinged on its citizens liberty and placed a brake on several nations' economies.

Sounds like was an attack in a guerrilla-warfare campaign to me.

#4 Not to mention they were also able to make a fortune by short-selling the stocks of airlines before the attack.
