Re: The Jews attacking their second most precious symbol, money, their only friend in this world, the US, and two huge building down, building filled with Jews. Gus, did you turn schizo, or what ?
Ahem... Well, you stubbornly persist to overlook a key ingredient of my Russian/Israeli/French theory: the BLUNDER element. Indeed, can you rationally tell me why everybody, all the terrorism experts and suchlike have assumed from the start that 911 was a PERFECTLY EXECUTED, DIABOLICAL SCHEME that unfolded with CLOCKWORK ACCURACY???
Read my earlier posts on the subject (from Sept 11th on): I've repeatedly claimed that 911 was initially devised as a REGULAR hijack operation! BTW, both Mohammed Atta and Moussaoui (who was arrested on Aug 16th, 2001) attended the same Flying School to pilot a Jumbo 747 --that is, an aircraft used (almost) exclusively on intl flights.
To better grasp how the "blunder element" can screw up even the most carefully devised plots, go to a video store near you and rent "Fargo": destgulch.com
I know that such a viewpoint taking a "blunder" element into account is somewhat counterintuitive: we all tend to think of 911 as of a whizz-bang terror plot carried out with diabolical mastery... Yet, (recent) history is full of grandiose intelligence schemes gone awry. For instance: the 1978 botched attempt by the US to rescue hostages in its Iranian embassy, the Bay of Pigs debacle, the Contra/Irangate, etc, etc.
Moreover, the "suicide" premise positing that the hijack leaders concealed the suicidal nature of their mission from their subordinates doesn't fit in with the usual psychodynamics of suicide terrorists: in all suicide terrorist attacks, the time span between the planning of such an operation and its execution is VERY SHORT. In Palestine, for instance, the suicide-bombers are not sleeping agents planted in Israel several months or years before some mastermind startled them out of idleness!! Quite the contrary: they turn into suicide-bombers out of exasperation (the continuous bloodshed, etc), it's something like an IMPULSE and it's a matter of hours or a few days between their personal decision and their assignment to a suicide operation....
Finally, Israel's past record (the Liberty affair, Pollard,...) shows that Israel --like France-- wouldn't flinch from inflicting "mild" injuries to the US (whether US citizens or facilities) for the higher sake of Israel. And that's precisely what 911 was INITIALLY about: the hijack of several commercial jetliners (with minimal collateral damages among aircrews) and classic bombings of Federal facilities (the Pentagon, the State Dept.) The WTC carnage was merely a glitch --a terrible, unfortunate disruption in the whole scheme as the Muslim hijackers "reprogrammed" a Plan B of their own....
