It doesn't matter if the planes brought down the buildings or if it the buildings were blown up from the inside when the planes hit. If the US government didn't do it directly, I believe they knew it was going to happen, who did it, and precisely when.
Bush received several briefs in the months before the attack that repeatedly warned of Bin Laden's intent to attack the U.S. While I don't believe Bush or his cabinet knew exactly how this attack would take place, I do believe they intentionally did nothing because they wanted Bin Laden to make an attempt. Not actually succeed, but make an attempt. I think the U.S. thought they were untouchable, so Bin Laden would try and fail, and then Bush and all his friends could cash in on those multi-billion dollar defense contracts they had and go over there and shut Bin Laden down. Bush could have placed us on high alert based off of any one of those memos, but he chose not to. They wanted Osama to try, so they could have an excuse to go over there and attack. This was all about defense contracts and oil drilling, so basically it was all about the money.
No doubt it was all about the money. I never thought about maybe they wanted bin laden to try, but assumed he would fail. It's possible.
Around the time Saddam Hussein took his oil off the US dollar and Afghanistan had the opium fields.
Because of 9/11 the US was able to get the control of the majority of the worlds opium (prescription drugs/medical industry) from Afghanistan and put Iraq back to the US dollar as far as oil....let alone the money made from defense contracts and oil/resource expansions.
Either way, we needed a reason to get into both places. So many things have happened after that, that benefits the US (Lybia, etc) from an economic gain perspective that would not have been accepted if we didn't have the trigger reason to be there (9/11) in the first place.
