"1) Taleban and Al-Qaeda had just recently received the biggest shock in their miserable lives - ousted from power in Afghanistan and now on the run literally for their lives."

Taleban have not been ousted from power in Afghanistan. They are taking control again in spite of American attempts to curb them.

"3) In the immediate aftermath of the attacks of 11th September, 2001, dianavan, who was the only national leader to publicly applaud the attacks and praise the attackers? Rhetorical question dianavan, you have no need to answer - it was Saddam Hussein of Iraq matter of record."

but the jump to conclusions is that Saddam had anything at all to do with 911. There were a lot of malcontents who rejoiced in that terrible incident but they were not all Al Queada.
