The plans for the invasion of Iraq were developed long before Bush even took office at the now defunct neo-conservative think tank, Project for the New American Century.
I've posted the link to Project for the New American Century here several times over the years. People don't seem to want to discuss it. It throws too many facts into their stories.
I'm just finding it very interesting how many people who scream the word "conspiracy" on the situation, as if they know something that nobody else does, only experienced 9/11 from the comforts of their own home on a television screen or via internet... unlike most New Yorkers who had to endure the pain & solitude of walking the streets the days, weeks and months afterwards to try and put their lives back together. For the most part don't think it was an "inside job".
While I think it may be true that the previous administration knew more about 9/11 then they've let on, I highly doubt that the attacks were an inside job. Of course, that's just an intriguing observation I've been noticing for almost a decade now.
It's not at all about conspiracy theories Vinyl. There are just too many questions left open from that day. Without throwing out any possible scenarios, it's just about finding answers to major, major questions that, to this day, have either gone unanswered. I still ask...can anybody explain what happened at the Pentagon that day? I realize that people don't want to deal with this. Most people accept being raised to blindly follow and patriotically pledge themselves to the flag and the ideals it represents. Those ideals become intertwined with their very character. That, among other reasons, is how they get away with telling you one thing when you've actually seen something else with your own eyes. If the events of 9/11 were in any way proven to be planned and carried out by internal factions from within the States, and that high ranking "officials" were complacent in that planning, it would shake the very foundation and core of peoples belief systems. No wonder people become aggressive and patronizingly insulting whenever the idea of the official story not being true is broached. The Emperors new clothes indeed.
It's already been mentioned so there's no need to expound on it but...I'm from Manhattan and I really don't see how being from there gives me any more right or exclusivity to an opinion then somebody not from there.
Who or what powers had to gain from these catastrophic events and the subsequent public reaction? What did they hope to achieve, and what have they gained?
Always the #1 question to ask. That and follow the money trail, as in, always take a look at who profits.
