New 9/11 Evidence Points to Deep Saudi Complicity
May 21, 2024 at 6:29 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“For more than two decades, through two wars and domestic upheaval, the idea that al-Qaeda acted alone on 9/11 has been the basis of U.S. policy. A blue-ribbon commission concluded that Osama bin Laden had pioneered a new kind of terrorist group—combining superior technological know-how, extensive resources, and a worldwide network so well coordinated that it could carry out operations of unprecedented magnitude. This vanguard of jihad, it seemed, was the first nonstate actor that rivaled nation-states in the damage it could wreak,” The Atlantic reports.

“That assessment now appears wrong. And if our understanding of what transpired on 9/11 turns out to have been flawed, then the costly policies that the United States has pursued for the past quarter century have been rooted in a false premise.”

“The global War on Terror was based on a mistake.”

2. No shit.

On September 12th the skies over the U.S. were empty except for Saudi Arabians related to George W. Bush's good friend Prince Bandar.

Maybe they were just heading home to have dinner with grandma?

Probably not.

4. A couple of authors that came to that conclusion -

- as early as 2003, and took heat for their position:

House of Bush, House of Saud, by Craig Unger
". . .explores the relationship between the Saudi Royal Family and the Bush extended political family. Unger asserts that the groundwork for today's terrorist movements and the modern wars that have sprung up about them was unintentionally laid more than 30 years ago with a series of business deals between the ruling Saudis and the powerful Bush family." -

The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9-11, by David Ray Griffin.
"Until the spring of 2003, I had not looked at any of the evidence. I was vaguely aware there were people, at least on the internet, who were offering evidence against the official account of 9/11... I knew the US government had 'fabricated' evidence to go to war several times before. Nevertheless... I did not take this possibility seriously... I was so confident that they must be wrong."

DRG went on to write several more books on the 9/11 event, including one which debunked the debunking of his detractors.

5. We on DU debated which word the war was based on.

It wasn’t a “mistake.”
