OK, here's the deal;
Bush/Cheney was, without a doubt, the most corrupt and incompetent President that our nation has ever had. And I do not doubt for one minute that he intended to invade Iraq long before 9-11, and that he used 9-11 as an excuse.
That being said, the conspiracy theories simply do not add up.
If I am Bush/Cheney and I want to create some sort of "Pearl Harbor" event to justify military action that I had already decided upon ahead of time...there are much simpler and easier ways to do it than arranging for 4 airliners to get hijacked and turned into Kamakaze flights against buildings that I have had pre-wired with demolition charges.
A conspiracy of that magnitude is too complicated, it involves too many people, and there are too many loose ends, variables and potential points of failure.
If I am Bush/Cheney and I want to "justify" a war against Iraq under the pretense that WMD's are being produced there, I wouldnt hire a bunch of Saudi Arabians to hijack airliners with box cutters. Instead, I would "arrange" for a small, crude nuclear device to go off somewhere in the United States that could be blamed on Iraq. Such a device could be constructed and deployed by a mere handful of people, as opposed to the hundreds or even thousands that would have to be "in on" a conspiracy to destroy the Twin Towers using jet airliners and demolition charges.
I do believe that a conspiracy took place after the fact to cover up the potentially embarrassing failures of our intelligence apparatus to predict and stop the attack. And I have no doubt that there was a conspiracy after the fact to maximize the "potential" of the 9-11 attacks to justify the invasion of Iraq that had already been decided upon ahead of time.
But the idea that Bush/Cheney had any direct, premeditated involvement with the 9-11 attacks simply doesnt wash with me. I do not for one minute put it past Bush/Cheney to kill Americans in order to justify their little war, but it simply is not logical that they would choose to do so in the manner that the conspiracy theorists accuse them of.
Good points, but when you look at the targets selected by the hijackers, they really served NO purpose other than to "terrorize". The towers were money losers, mostly vacant, and the perfect target for "minimal damage". Rigging them was easy, they were mostly empty. If they rigged only the empty floors, who would know?
How far the conspiracy goes, we may never find out, but if bush could hire independent contractors to fight in Iraq from other countries, why couldnt they hire independent contractors outside the country to rig the buildings?
The saudi arabian goverment secretly put money into the 911 plot, and they stood the most to gain as gasoline prices jumped 400%. All of opec stood to gain on 911, why not then middle eastern hijackers? Plenty of religious reasons to convince them to buy into the plot.
BUSH may not have had direct knowledge, but I believe CHENEY who has been involved with CIA, NSA, Heritage Foundation, American Institute, the Saudis, the Iraqis, and the PNAC group DID have knowledge and was involved. BUSH was the right man for the job because he was the most clueless.
ALot of insurance money has been paid for the towers and surrounding buildings , and that made them the perfect target, they go down, insurance pays to put them back up. A temporary loss and inconvenience, but at the end of the day, the towers became more profitable falling down than standing up.
Americans would cheer the reconstruction, and afterwards, the tenancy problem would be solved with new structures because of history. A win / win.
NOBODY can explain why WTC7 fell completely in free fall speed without the help of demolition, and thats something that people are trying to communicate to everyone. I know it sounds nutty, but if you take one thing at a time, and look at the data, you will find that you have more questions that need answering, than you do explanations.
I agree, that the terrorists could have made a bigger impact by placing a nuke somewhere, but that would have been to costly in creation, and deployment and damage.
Why not fly the planes into GIANTS stadium during a game and kill 70 thousand people?
Why not fly into a nuke plant?
Why not fly into something significant in America and cause severe death?
Why choose the trade towers which had no significant value as a target?
Why the Pentagon? With its defenses and design, only minimal damage would occur.
Flight 93, why is there no evidence of a plane crash by all crash standards?
Our goverment has done things like this before. It has created these false scenarios to start wars.
Look at the gulf of Tonkin, or Operation Northwoods.

These examples of plans to FAKE a series of attacks to start wars is NOT something out of science fiction. They are real.
There is enough evidence to at least begin a conversation, that 911 was a false flag scenario made up of complicated plans. Remember, BUSH did not chose his cabinet in 2000 after winning the election, it was done for him in 1997.
What else was done for "him" before he took office? thanks for the conversation.
Peace.
