Why OBL *really* hates Americans?

Even more than with most of my gleanings from the Russian language press, I offer this with the caveat that salt should be included . . . . According to a story published today, OBL had a brief affair in Lebanon w/ an American female when he was younger. Apparently everything went smoothly until the relationship became intimate. The story goes that the lady was less than impressed with his equipment and technique, expressing her views rather forcefully & scornfully and apparently sharing them with other parties to OBL's utter humiliation. Now *if* this really happened, I'm surprised it hasn't been made public in the West if only to discredit his pious image among potential & actual followers. But it makes a lot more sense on a psychological level than his published rationale of the sacrilege of having infidel American troops protecting the homeland of Islam's holy sites. Or perhaps it adds credence . . . with him seeing his nation symbolically in the same situation where he once found himself? I don't know. Despite being exposed to 30+ years of media fawning over the likes of Chappie Ted, Hanoi Jane & the Bubba/Hillary show, I still don't pretend to understand abnormal psychology.

    Perhaps money soothes all, because it's been reported that those who knew what was going to happen sold airline and other stocks short. Seems those trades total at least 500 million that they can identify. Not a bad day's work, even for a little prick, wouldn't you agree?
