      Yeah, that was entirely the intent of ushering in a think tank’s neoconservative military agenda. The Project for a New American Century (PNAC) had a list of signatories that included Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Jeb Bush, Gingrich, and Cheney; all determined to bring the United States into the 21st century prepared to fight micro-wars on several fronts.

      Their manifesto (authored a few years prior to 9/11) referred to the fact they’d need “a Pearl Harbor type event” to usher in these changes to military organization and deployment to move away from “cold war thinking.”

      The attack in NYC gained them political favor to implement these changes, go after Iraq, Iran, and North Korea (hence the Axis of Evil), and let the events of Iraq Part II unfold. It was sickening watching it unfold, and people ate that WMD shit up like it they were hooked on meth.

          Canada is part of NATO, so article 5 is automatic. Plus, looking at a map, the US would not appreciate radioactivity crossing its borders.

          Russian media wants to nuke the US. India media wants to nuke Canada. I’m sure if we took them seriously they wouldn’t like it.

            The screaming, threats, and invective against Canada is being done to whip up hysterical support for Modi & his political party for the upcoming nationwide elections. Modi’s policies & corruption have so wrecked India’s economy, that he’s desperate. And a desperate dictator with violent religious extremeists at his beck & call who alsso fear the secular and progressive opposition will say & do anything to gather public support.

            No Indian will be surprised if they try to burn or bomb Canada’s embassy and try to spin that to look like victims.

              So what you are saying is shutting down the Canadian embassy is the next logical step. Of course that means that India will close its embassy. We shall see.

      I mean, the US invaded Iraq as revenge for 9/11.

      The WMD lies were just to convince anyone on the fence to support the war. A lot of people didn’t need that excuse.

        It wasn’t even revenge for 9/11; it was Kuwait pt2 using a hurt, confused, and easily misled public to invade Iraq. Saudi Arabia committed 9/11 but they were rich and had oil money that could buy them 3000 dead Americans and a white house

          No, it was vengeance.

          Ever notice how oil prices shot up during the invasion, and only went down when the United States invested in fracking?

            Don’t know the data well enough, will take your word for it. But decoupling from the pretense, not reality, it was oil.
