Just blame it on Iraq, you get a national emergency and you have the initial excuse to do what you want." Miragememories "The best idea, was to create a "shock 'n awe" National Emergency. Israel can easily set their military sights on any hostile neighboring country that lobs a missile their way because the history of conflict there has been well established and in the absence of a peace agreement, the threat remains constant. Not so in the United States which hadn't been attacked since WWII. The 9/11 scenario was based on terrorist suicide attacks which the public, as expected, thanks to the MEDIA, quickly associated with Al-Qaeda." The public had no expectation or reason to readily believe that Iraq would ever mount a major suicide attack on the U.S. I recall absolutely no MEDIA consideration of Iraq on 9/11, or the days immediately following, that would suggest that Iraq might have played any part in the 9/11 attacks. asaf-a "What is the Israeli interest in blaming Al-Qaeda. Al Qaeda isn't even a threat to Israel, you're just mixing shit up." You are misunderstanding, again. The Bush administration and the western MEDIA blamed Al-Qaeda for 9/11. Is that crystal clear?? Israel merely cooperated with that assertion and was not the source of that claim. The American public had been 'prepped' to accept Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda as capable and likely candidates for an event such as 9/11. The American public was not expecting one of Israel's many other enemies to act in such a way. Whether Bush and Company liked it or not, they had to play along with the Al-Qaeda belief and direct their initial attention to Al-Qaeda's known operation base, Afghanistan. Once Congress enabled Bush in his "war on terror", he was effectively handed the key to the war chest. Making Iraq the new target, was just a matter of conjuring up evidence showing Iraq was a hotbed of terrorist activity and a National Security threat to the U.S.. What did Israel ultimately gain? The world's only super power invading Iraq and maintaining a major military presence in that country. A country which had previously attacked Israel, and Israel had been powerless to retaliate. Israel gains a measure of retribution, and now have their chief protector, the world's sole superpower, the U.S., in close geographical proximity. And lots of leverage! All for agreeing to do most of the 9/11 dirty work. asaf-a "And that just supports my claim that it is impossible to think before 9/11 that an attack by Afghanis Lebaneese Egyptians and Saudis would make it easier on America to attack Iraq. You have to be a fortune teller for this :\" It never was about the nationalities of the participants. The U.S. had no desire to destroy their valued relationships with Saudi Arabia or Egypt. Afghanistan and the Taliban were a different matter. The U.S. had to start there because they supported the belief that Al-Qaeda based out of Afghanistan were responsible. The primary initial objective was to obtain the power from Congress to effectively wage war on terror wherever the Bush administration determined the battle needed to be fought. MM
