Geode,I picked this off another board.

"Right now you believe Osama bin Laden and al Qaida were behind the attacks. What you don't know is why you believe that, in spite of the fact you have never been offered one shred of credible evidence to support that belief.

"Did Bushies know the attacks were coming"

That's a proven fact. The information had been leaked for months prior to 9/11 and the impending attack was common knowledge in the world intelligence community. The reports received by the White House are numerous and well documented.

"did Bush then go kill Al Qaeda and Taliban dudes in Afghanistan as a part of their pact?"

What pact? Removing the Taliban opened up new pipeline routes and put $200 billion a year in heroine back on the market. Removing Saddam Hussein doubled the price of oil and gas, eliminated a source of support for Palestine, and potentially opened an old pipeline route for Iraqi oil to Israel. If al Qaida was behind the attacks, they sure shot themselves in the foot by handing their enemies everything they ever wanted on a silver platter. Since al Qaida had nothing to gain from the attacks, and did in fact gain nothing, standard police work dictates you need to look at who did in fact gain from the attacks if you're ever going to establish a suspect with a real motive. The political and economic gains which resulted from 9/11 were huge and very limited to a small number of people. al Qaida is not on that list. Once you establish motive, you then examine the list for means and opportunity. al Qaida is not on that list either. The massive diversion engineered to enable the planes to reach their targets unopposed is enough to eliminate al Qaida as suspects."
