Given the source, this should not be dismissed as simply a "conspiracy theory"

http://abcnews.go.com/US/Story?id=92662&page=1
U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba
In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba.
Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities.

When taken as part of a growing picture that includes:
1) Bush unable to remember how he first learned of the 9/11 attacks--he first said he saw it on TV but later changed his recollection to say he was notified about it.
2) Bush flies all of the Saudi family out of the US the day after 9/11 when no other planes were allowed in the air.
3) The lies used to place blame on Saddam Hussein: Yellow cake and WMDs, for example.
Not to mention: Bush family and Saudi royal family has been friends and business partners for decades (Salem bin Laden, Osama's brother, financed W's oil ventures in Texas in the early 1970s)
It makes sense.

(127 posts)why three buildings imploded on themselves, and were never investigated. Something that has never occurred outside of controlled demolition. Not to mention the pentagon, the supposedly most secure building in the world, which couldn't produce any clear pictures of a plane hitting that building.
Enthusiast
(50,983 posts)It's more than curious. And they do not want us to talk about it. When there is something TPTB do not want us to talk about you can bet we are getting dangerously close to some closely protected secret.

(50,983 posts)Also, before President Obama took office, he had to agree that his DOJ would not pursue anything, or ask any questions that might implicate or otherwise compromise the credibility of the Bush Administration.
Could you please send a link to evidence for that, Enthusuiast?
Enthusiast
(50,983 posts)Why then, has he failed to investigate numerous obvious violations of the oath of office by the previous administration?
Why haven't we really looked at 911? Events leading up to the Iraq War? Torture?
If the president made no such secret agreement, we are supposed to believe it was just good will on the part of the president, that we will simply "look forward"? That is a whole lot of bull we are expected to swallow.

(5,275 posts)I'm not sure what the exact whole truth is but I'm as sure as I can be that the official narrative is largely fiction. That is so because there are many things that just do not add up.
One big thing is the BS about the airliner's black boxes - they are virtually indestructible so saying they couldn't find them or they were too damaged is a crock. What did/do they not want us the know?

(3,829 posts)He is concerned about the cover-up of evidence that powerful people in Saudi Arabia assisted those terrorists fly those airplanes into those buildings. The Bush administration was more concerned about their own selfish interests than doing anything about the people that were actually involved in 9-11.
Sen. Graham is concerned about facts and not some crazy conspiracy theories.
