9/11 Warnings From June 2001 To September 10, 2001
(This really is quite rediculous but worth posting anyway. Rediculous because there were so many warnings. With all these warning signs all the US government had to do to stop the attacks was NOTHING. Yet on that day there just happened to be loads of drills and war games going (first time in history they had happened on this scale ?) and as a result NO planes were intercepted on that day. These sources are entirely from mainstream articles. If the press knew some attacks were coming you can bet your money the inteligence agencies knew what was happening. At the very least this proves the government knew the attacks were coming and did absolutely nothing. Please note this is NOT the full list, just the list 3 months prior to the event ... )

For instance, Reid flies to Tel Aviv, Israel on July 12, 2001, to test if airline security would check his shoes for bombs. [Bamford, 2004, pp 236-39]

But what would be the motive then? The Bush regime wanted it to happen so they would have enough leverage to go into Iraq? (that would make alot of sense...)

EXACTLY
You can't just invade a country .. You need an excuse. Something the people will buy.
But this was motive for the invasion ultimately. (please note the dates on these)
Wanting to attack Iraq was nothing new though. They had been wanting to do it for a LONG time.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 's')o, how are we gonna get those people who allowed this to happen in jail?
I don't know. But a step in the right direct is to educate people. Wake them up ..
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'a')nd how many people would that be?
Again I don't know. But if i were to guess, I would say not that many. Probably most of the PNAC group were involved. If you dont know what this is, google the project for the new american century.
It is interesting to see where the architects of the war are now ..
