I believe, from everything I have heard and read, that George Bush had every intention of going into Iraq from his first day in office. He was obsessed with it. 9/11 gave him a perfect conduit by which to raise a false alarm against them and complete his base of arguments for going in. I cannot believe, as an American, that he enjoyed 9/11. He may be incompetent and he may be an arrogant warmonger, but he's still an American and I believe he felt the same grief and rage we all felt. But, he and Cheney, soon after, used the emotions that 9/11 caused in the American people to support his attack on Iraq. That to me is unforgivable and even back then I felt uncomfortable about his ceaseless use of that tragedy to tweak our emotions whenever he needed to. Then, when it came to light that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, I was doubly disturbed. It was the beginning of my disenchantment with this President and he has done nothing since but reinforce that disenchantment. In fact, he has raised it to contempt and anger, for my part.

Could have Bush convince the American Public to invade Iraq without 911? 911 gave him his window for Iraq. I believe his primary motivation was political and personal. The profit is a nice by product result for him.

Absolutely. I believe our own people, our government caused the collapse of the towers- if anyone paid attention to the engineers' report - the planes did not cause the buildings to collapse - there was an explosion underneath the buildings that caused the buildings to collapse/fold in the manner that they did. But of course since the media is controlled by the feds - this was not blatantly publicized or scrutinized.

In no way do I think they intended 9/11 to happen, but as soon as it did, they saw it as an opportunity to get back presidential powers lost during the Watergate aftermath and to push through the Presidents agenda on tax cuts and social regression.

undoubtedly, some of us didn't buy and still do not buy it.
This quote from Hitlers propaganda minister will help you...
" Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
