    So we destabilised the middle East by invading Iraq because of a massive lie ?
    And you have no issues with that ?

    It doesn't help that governments have been known to let attacks occur in order to justify their own actions.

    For 11/9 (we're British) it looks most likely that if there was any government conspiracy, it'd be more likely to be aimed at covering up their incompetence and the poor communication between security agencies.

    Bush Jnr invaded Iraq to finish Daddies work, as Daddy regretted not marching on Baghdad in GW I

    The oil was also another bonus as was the prospect of the contracts to rebuild the devastation afterwards

    Who said I had no issue with it?

    Hey Donk, do you believe the holocaust didn't happen or the big pharmacies are holding back cancer cures?

    Do you believe a man in a cave masterminded an attack on the pentagon and took out a big chunk of Manhattan?

    Pretty much, yes.

    There are a lot of questions raised and some unlikely answers offered, but as with religion, the simplest, most rational answers are usually the right ones.

    As someone else suggested, Occam's razor applies.

    He wasn't even "a man in a cave" when they killed him, so why do you think he was when 9/11 happened?
    You probably don't think that they killed him at all though, do you?

    So when they finally caught up with him they flew him back to a Naval ship and tossed his body in the ocean ?

    There are many individual actions and events that seem odd. I just don't tie them altogether as a mass conspiracy. Part of the reason is that I simply don't believe America has the skill or ability to achieve that.

    No. Afghanistan was invaded for a variety of reasons.
    The Taliban running it, Al-Qaeda and other terrorists training there and the supposed presence of Bin Laden.
    The Taliban said that Bin Laden was there and that they'd hand him over to a third party, if evidence of his guilt was provided.

    Al-Qaeda was set up by the CIA to resist the Russian invasion .
    This is common knowledge and declassified now if you can be bothered to "Google" it.

    Plus American complacency. The belief that nobody would dare do that to them!.

    And Saddam was backed by the West against Iran, and what?

    What does any of this have to do with the batshit mental idea that 9/11 was a US Govt plot?

    Not exactly. The Mujahideen were given US backing and some of them split off to form Al-Qaeda.
    What does that have to do with the current subject?

    I didn't mention any government plot I just sited 2 events in American history that don't make sense .

    1 JFK getting shot by Oswald

    2 Building 7 collapsing at free fall speed in exactly the same way buildings are demolished.

    It's you waffling on about the other ****.

    You mentioned that one of the reasons for invading Afghanistan was to wipe out Al Qaeda .

    And how does what you posted contradict that?
    The US funded a group that opposed the USSR and then wanted to get rid of a troublesome offshoot of that group.
    That's perfectly consistent.
