What you are saying is not evidence, it is speculation.
My point is still, if the FBI is not linking Osama Bin Laden to 9/11, then they must have valid reasons. Same with Cheney.
I put trust in quotes, as I do not completely trust them.

Bin Laden has always been quick to praise the terrorist actions of others while avoiding implicating himself. I do not think the FBI has hard evidence of his involvement, because that would most likely come from his followers who are prone to protecting him.

If you read the Esquire interview with OBL conducted in Afghanistan in 1998, you will see that. You also hear him talking about civilians being fair game, and of course the final line in the interview pretty much says it all.

We have to remember the February 1993 bombing of the WTC, in which 6 people were killed and about a 1,000 injured. There were several individuals who were linked to the bombing, and some of them are still on the loose. Ramzi Yousef was arrested, among others, including Khaled Shaikh Mohammed, who was arrested in 2008, he was "Linked" to Al Qaeda. Whenever some terrorist gets arrested or killed, they'll say that he was Linked to Al Qaeda, or whichever terrorist group they were linked to, as most of these individuals are. That's how these groups have always operated, and aparently it works to their advantage because being a group scattered all over the world, many of whom manage to operate without being detected, which makes it tough for law enforcement and intelligence agencies, as well as armed forces, to keep their watch on all such individuals.

....
While the United States and other nations were trying to make sense of the September 11th attacks right after they occurred, we saw Palistinian civilians in the streets of the West Bank of Israel celebrating and praising those who were responsible for the attacks. I also remember seeing a video of Osama bin Laden shortly after the attacks, he was also praising the 19 hijackers.

No need to show me that Bin Laden is an evil guy. That is pretty obvious.
Still no explanation of why Cheney made those statements.

Did you expect him not to praise them?

Yes, you saw Palistinian civilians "celebrating". That is something that can be used forever to show "how evil those people are".
I wonder why they were celebrating. A look into the history could help, though.
I condemn violence and suppression on both sides. The amount of hatred against the average muslim is unbelievable and NOT acceptable, though.
Rather than pointing the finger on "those evil" people, one should think about solutions to those problems in the world.

In another thread I read something like "the amount of money we spent on the war in Iraq is justified because now we live in Freedom".
How was your freedom threatened by Iraq? It wasnt, but sadly to this day some americans (not all) still think that Iraq was either threatening the USA or was linked to 9/11.

lI saw Americans cheering on Shock-and-Awe Day, as Iraqi civilians' bodies were being blown apart.
