"I asked what Israeli enemy was not attacked before 9/11. Iraq was already attacked in the first gulf war, and 9/11 led to the invasion to Afghanistan, not Iraq."

Iraq never suffered a full invasion in the Gulf War.

"Thinking that Israel did 9/11 would mean that Israel thought that in order to attack Iraq, the best idea is to fake a terror attack by hijackers from Afghanistan, not Iraq, and then hope that two years later they would feel more comfrotable with invading Iraq."

As a valuable asset, Iraq was always the target. The problem was how to get Congressional support.

The only solution was clear, create a National Emergency.

The plan, a cooperative venture between the security forces of the U.S. and Israel.

Organizations with access to virtually anything they wanted.

"It makes sort of sense backwards: 9/11 led to congressional approval of invasion to Iraq, but thinking that faking a terror attack from Saudis and Afghanis would lead to this is impossible."

Not everyone sees the alleged 9/11 suicide attackers, as Saudi and Afghan terrorists. The Bush gov't and the cooperative MEDIA chose to ignore nationality in favor of the more ominous sounding "Al Qaeda".

And in typical fashion, the Bush Regime and the MEDIA portrayed Al Qaeda as a James Bond-like evil terrorist organization.

"If 9/11 would have worked in Israel's intrest, it would have been blamed directly on Iraq / Hamas / Hezbollah."

You are missing the point about preparing the Public. The public were ripe for a "shock 'n awe" terrorist event, and thanks to the MEDIA, Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden were on everyone's lips. The public would only support a total War on Terror against them.

Again, thanks to the MEDIA, the public knew that Al Qaeda and it's leader were in Afghanistan.

"Do you know why it wasn't blamed on any of these?
Because Israel didn't pick who will be to blame for 9/11, which makes Israeli intervention pointless :\"

Al Qaeda was blamed. The MEDIA never showed great concern about the nationality of the terrorists.

The stage was set to give George Bush extraordinary power and an authority that was unpatriotic to question.

At that point, he only had to manufacture a belief in his evidence, which he then used to persuade Congress to support the invasion of Iraq.

When Bush originally went to Congress, they thought the idea would be to focus on where Al Qaeda was known to be.

Thanks to 9/11 "shock 'n awe", few in Congress showed concern that they were effectively empowering the President to choose his enemy and attack.

But the President and his cohorts certainly realized.
