I can not believe 911 is still an issue almost 10 years later. 911 this and that, Americans still talk about it in there campaigns. No one really has a clue about what went down. Like someone has already said, we will never actually know untill 30 years from now. That being said, everything that happened was sketchy at best. Most crimes are investigated on the premise of who stands to gain what. That is the way I look at least.
What did the terrorist stand to gain by killing 2000+ people?
Nothing? I mean, truth be told, the only thing I knew about Afghan was the weed (Pre 911). I cannot imagine they would consider victory by having the worlds most advanced millitary invade there nation. Maybe thats what they wanted?
What did America stand to gain if they staged a fake terrorist attack?
- Oil - From invaded nation Iraq
- Control - From fear mongering the terrorist attack. Look at security pre and post 911.
- Wealth - Most war suppliers are in bed with the government officials. Easier to spend tax payer money when a war is on
- Drugs - Afghanistan is LOADED with drugs, Weed, Hash, Poppy plants
- Insurance money - The twin towers were loaded with asbestos and needed major renovating.
- ETC
A courier driver that picks up from my company was born and raised in Afghanistan. He told me Afghanistan is virgin. Grounds are littered with mineral deposits ie; Gold, Silver, Iron ore... etc. He also said that the news makes the war seem so much worse.
In conclusion, everyone should remember the war between Soviet Union vs Afghanistan. Back then, the CIA trained Afghany militants to fight. The Al Queda. Gave them weapons, money and elite training to fight the power full Soviets. Now, they are fighting against the guys they trained and the weapons they gave them. I do not believe in most of the jargon that said movies (Loose change, Zeigiest...etc) have told us. I believe it is far more deeper, and complicated than some CIA agents planting some thermite, flew fake planes (w.e there theories say) and it was all Bush. Bush is a retarded. I am smarter than Bush, and that is not saying much. All in all the people who have really suffered where the people that died during the attacks, and there poor family members. I wish that out of all of this non-sense the family members at some point get justice. RIP.
Edit* Also RIP to everyone who has died in the conflicts as well. | It's a relatively established fact that, yes, the USA supplied Al Qaeda because they were fighting a guerilla-style war that the US approved of against the Soviets. However, near the end of the Gulf War, Saudi Arabia's arrangement with the Americans to allow US troops into Saudi's soil angered Al Qaeda and saw it as a slight against Muslims. He thought that foreign soldiers there soiled sacred lands. That's where his hatred for the USA (and the west in general) started.
Let's face it; Before the attacks on 9/11, it was easy to gain access to the cockpit of a plane. All you had to do was ask to see and most likely you were allowed to. I had been up front a few times by request, and I know plenty of others that had as well. So, what did Al Qaeda have to gain from attacking the Twin Towers and Pentagon (and, as some believe, the White House)? Simple: The proof that even their strongest enemies were capable of being felled by something as simple as a civilian aircraft. They struck fear into hundreds of millions of people with such relatively simple acts. I don't believe they were looking to gain land, riches and gold by doing so; rather, they simply wanted to do what they did best.
I don't believe that Afghan had much to do with the attacks, other than being the location of Al Qaeda's base. The majority of the alleged attackers in the planes were from Saudi Arabia, after all (although this is one fact that I find a little hard to believe... after all, they had trouble ID'ing the majority of remains from the plane... how did they manage to pinpoint every single terrorist?). That's why the US attacked there first. The subsequent attack on Iraq was something that I believe the USA took advantage of. Sadam Hussein stood against everything Al Qaeda believed in, but I think the USA was hoping the rest of the world would ignore that when they asked the UN (unsuccessfully) for approval to attack Iraq. That war was based on fabricated lies, in my opinion. It had nothing to do with the Al Qaeda attacks, but they simply used it as an excuse. |
