No way!

What you wrote either betrays your utter igorance/bias/naivete or is simply pure and unadulterated BULLCRAP!

Bush had an agenda to make big profits for himself and his cronies long before he took office. He was in a great hurry to ensure no one else or entity beat him to the punch.

He saw in Iraq the opportunity not only for riches but also for self-aggrandizement and even "immortality".

That's why from Day 1, using his power as president, he urged his aides to find him an excuse, in fact any effing excuse, to invade Iraq. That is a well-known fact confirmed by O'Neill and which Orca reminded us of.

No doubt, Bush thought the conquest would be a piece of cake. But he was utterly wrong, as with most other things, with disastrous consequences for all concerned.

He must have thought his plans including 9/11 (his "Pearl Harbor" to galvanize the nation and the world for support) were so compelling, so well-hidden or subtle that they would not arouse any public suspicion and scrutiny. Ah, but as ever so often happens, "The best laid plans of mice and men go awry!" Exactly true for Bush and his necon henchmen and their con-job in Iraq!
