    I heard it compared to 9/11, which conspiracies held was allowed to happen to justify the US’s actions in the Middle East.

    Would Natty let his people suffer for his own wants? Absolutely. Did he know about it before hand? Who knows.

      Yeah he called it Israel’s 9/11. I can see why now… In that they knew about it but ignored it.

        The USA didn’t ignore it, poorly thought out government regulations that didn’t allow US intelligence agencies to share information between each other caused it.

          No, bush 2 ignored it. There were reports something was going to happen. The sharing of information was justification for the patriot act.

          He then fabricated weapons of mass destruction to fan the flames for iraq. The other countries intelligence agency said it was bullshit, but we were told ours were more smarter.

          Freedom fries were our measured response to the French being correct in their intelligence assessments.
