(32,723 posts)acknowledges they admit war can be reduced to a tool to deceive the public.
I have NEVER accused Dubya of being behind 9/11 but I HAVE accused him of being the type that would go along with it if the Pentagon and Cheney told him it would lead to an invasion of Iraq.
Let's face it. The Pentagon was facing actual extinction as a Cold War relic.
Being included in the attack guaranteed their participation and continued survival.
In hindsight though,....think about it....
Bush and company claimed al Qaeda was a powerful organization in 70 different countries and was described like they were the real life version of Ian Flemming's "Spectre" when they were little more than a biker gang. A failed one at that, having only a handful of members who'd been sent of to the ends of the earth. For THAT the Pentagon got a huge budget increase and pulled the dust cover off of some of their dream toys.
