So basically you made it up. Like the bit about 'giving in with embolden them'.

I think in the early post 11/9 days I think Bin Laden, suprised by being placed at the head of this group he previously didn't realise he was head of, decided to make a play for power in Saudi. I think he was hoping for a popular uprising there that he could lead.

He doubtless has fantasies about being the Caliph of Arabia - but I think that's as far as his ambitions went. All this world domination and kill all the infidel stuff is just played up by our governments to scare us into line.
