did Saudi Arabia help finance/plan the 9/11 attacks. To me, the answer has always been
'obviously'. And, just WHO let the Ben Laden family fly out of Florida even though
all air traffic had been suspended (except for our military). Well, the answer to me has always been W - who I will always think he was involved with the Saudia/ Ben Laudens in planning the attack to start out with. W JUST HAD TO HAVE AN EXCUSE TO START HIS WAR, and this certainly did the trick, now didn't it?

(75,480 posts)that in order to invade the ME especially Iraq to secure the oil fields and bring a Pax Americana to them, we needed a Pearl Harbor like event in order to go to war. When 911 happened they couldn't jump faster at mobilizing the troops. Also Jeb Bush was a member along with many others like Rumsfeld and Kristol along with some Saudis. I can't remember all the members and the website is no longer on line unless it's cached somewhere. Also Jeb Bush was a signatory on a letter in 1998 to Bill Clinton asking him to invade Iraq. This man should never be considerd for the Presidency. He has blood on his hands.
Also, Michael Moore pointed his finger at the Saudis in his documentary "Fahrenheit 911" when no one else was connecting the dots.

even if it brings revolutionary change, is
likely to be a long one, absent some
catastrophic and catalyzing event like a
new Pearl Harbor. [/font]

(23,500 posts)I found the official explanation unconvincing, to put it mildly, and wanted to see if others thought so too.
I ran that search every few days, and noticed that the number of hits was increasing at a brisk pace.
One site looked way more interesting than the others.

(6,891 posts)Hell, we can't even come up with an agreed upon acronym for these pig fuckers.
ISIS are not acting like a terror group, they're acting more like a gang taking orders from a cartel/corporatist entity. The rate at which they're are beheading humans is alarming enough but it also exposes their mentality which is somebody somewhere is benefiting
from these beheading simply because it generates fear and it drastically slows down the economy.
When you think of the economy one can't help but think about the groups or group of people that benefits from a slow down economy. This may be confusing to some but the purpose of this whole thing is for it to be confusing. Unnecessary killings normally creates fears and confusion, but we hope with level headed individuals involved they may soon find the answers to who these gangs or nefarious players are?

Humanity needs a fucking wake up call.

Unfortunately, when they wake up, they turn on Faux Nooze or something like it, and believe everything it says.
