Did the CIA mastermind 9/11? I mean was it a plan to invade the oil rich countries of the Middle east?

There are so many qns which will go unanswered in this world. Like why we were born ? Some qns should not be answered at all. For the sake of humanity.That's a back door job.\nJustice follows from the front door. That's the wrath of god.

Anything is possible.  Maybe it was a mysterious guy named Bob hiding behind mars, too? \n\nMethinks it's way more probable that 911 was aided/orchestrated in some way by Cheney and his cabal to achieve their much broader agenda of geopolitical and financial goals.\n\nJust see http://newamericancentury.org/ for evidence.

First off, its about securing access to Middle Eastern Oil.\nSome of the people behind this strategy, Richard Pearle, Feith, and Paul Wolfowitz planned this thing out...when the 9/11 attacks came out, Americans were panicked into letting the president have sweeping war powers.  In other words they acted like sheep - acting out of fear.\n\nNext, the Bush Admin drummed up a fake cause to go to war based on a fantasy that Saddam was hiding weapons of mass destruction - these were NEVER found.\nMost of the support for this arguement came from false intelligence, cherry picked to bolster a justification for the invasion and occupation. \n\nNow, with support for the war erroding at home, we are mired down in a fiasco with no exit strategy in a country where sectarian civil war is already in progress...and possibly getting worse.   Its never a good sign when no one is allowed to drive any kind of a car due to martial law. \n\nIn short, this is about oil and the American people have been lied to.  I don't see it ending until we run this administration out of office...or they run out of steam and mark time the rest of the time they are in office.

You think youre pretty clever coming up with this. Ok, now let me tell you something. Not long before 9-11, Bin Laden was treated at the American Hospital in Dubai, where he was also visited by a local chief of the CIA. Also, throughout the 80s Bin Laden was funded and armed by the CIA to fight against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Al Queda has communicated with government leaders from Russia to Pakistan. Communications prove nothing. By the way, I highly suggest you watch this video on 9-11:\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848\n\n\nPeace

Wow...how generous of you :-)  anyway...When the USS Cole was bombed before 9/11, we knew then who was behind the attack.  We also knew they were planning something against the USA.  So, when 9/11 happened, we had every right to go into Afghanistan and where ever else to get Bin Laden and his terrorists.  Our government had intelligent info about all this and THEY knew Bin Laden did NOT conspire with Saddam.  I agree Saddam is a very evil man, but invading Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.  The Iraq situation is going to turn out worse than Vietnam.  Bush was so concerned with plotting against his daddy's enemy (before 9/11, he already had plans to invade Iraq, he just needed a reason to do so) it seems he has forgotten the real reason our soldiers are in the middle east.\nSo, 5 years later...where is the man responsible for killing our Americans on our soil?

Certainly not.  Bin Laden took credit for it, and he and his buddies plotted it without any help from the US.  It's ridiculous to even give this idea a moment's consideration.

Of course! Don't forget than Osama Bin Laden was trained in the USA in the early 80's. The american government needed a motive to declare the so-called "war against terrorism". And to succeed that it sacrificed its own people...

Yes. The "rich man" who initiated this illegal and unconstitutional war in Big Dick Cheney because he wants all the oil swimming underneath Iraq's sands so that he and his Halliburton buddies can get richer and richer and richer. Other than the fact that little Georgie Porgie Bush (Cheney's puppet) wanted to 'get even' with Hussein for humiliating his daddy during Desert Storm, OIL is the only reason we invaded Iraq, a sovereign nation that did not  provoke, threaten or attack the U.S.\n\nThe "poor men" fight the war so that the "rich men" don't have to get any dirt or blood on their hands. So we send U.S. soldiers, and what does it matter than 2,500 of them have already died?\nThey were "dispensable". As Donald Rumsfeld once said at a press conference, "Stuff happens". And that's okay with him as long as it doesn't "happen" to his family and friends.\n\nThe Bush administration is the most evil, corrupt, incompetent ever to occupy the White House; the sitting U.S. Congress is the most evil, corrupt and incompetent body ever to occupy the Capitol Building. Consider what Cheney/Bush have done, with the full cooperation of a cowardly Congress, since 2000:\n\n1. Massacred tens of thousands of Iraqi citizens for no justifiable reason;\n2. Condoned physical, verbal, emotional and sexual abuse, unspeakable torture, and even the murder of irresponsibly-incarcerated 'prisoners' without any regard for the rules of the Geneva Convention;\n3. Threatened every other country on Earth,  persuading them all to consider nuclear weapons as a defense against the new "evil empire" - the United States of America;\n4. Initiated failed economic policies that will create a severe depression (or, at the very least, a recession), and that has already put American taxpayers trillions of dollars in debt;\n5. Tarnished America's reputation as a world leader and global peacekeeper;\n6. Dismantled environmental laws designed to protect the world's fragile eco-system and preserve a ecological balance between man and nature for the future of our world;\n7. Turned America into a police state where citizens are presumed guilty until proven innocent;\n8. Neglected the needs of America's poor, disadvantaged, sick, aged, homeless, unemployed, hungry and underprivileged;\n9. Played "Robin Hood in Reverse", stealing from the poor and giving it all to rich individuals, special interest groups, lobbyists, and big businesses who - in turn - make generous (if not illegal) campaign contributions to keep the GOP in power;\n10. Lied to the American public, and leaked information to the news media when it conveniently suits their agenda.\n\nThese "rich men" running this illegal war deserve to be tried for high treason and crimes against humanity. If convicted, they deserve to face a public firing squad. \n\nCertainly, Satan has reserved a special oil-soaked corner of Hell for these evil, wicked anit-Chirsts.        \n\nCheck out a new blog book: BUSHWACKER!\nwww.blogger.com\nhttp://al-aback.blogspot.com\n\nThe "poor men" fighting this illegal war will NOT BE WITHDRAWN FROM IRAQ UNTIL DICK CHENEY GETS A ROCK-SOLID, IRON-CLAD ARRANGEMENT TO STEAL  ALL OF IRAQ'S OIL. \n\nBush and Rumsfeld are Cheney's 'yes men' without any comprehension of the carnage they've created. As Commander-In-Chief and Secretary of Defense, you'd think these two bozos would be on the front lines fighting with the troops for what they believe in; unfortunately they're both sniveling little weasels without a backbone. \n\nMay Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and most all members of the U.S. Congress who supported all this evil spend their eternal damnation rotting in Hell and blaming each other for the mess they made of this world.                                 -RKO-

I have often wondered the same thing... \n\nThere are very strange coincidences, after all:\n1 - During the 9/11 WTC attacks, Dick Cheney was in an important bussiness meeting, which included investors of the Carlyle Group, among them Saudi relatives of Osama Bin Laden. \nLet me rephrase that: "Dick Cheney was a bussiness partner with Bin Laden's family, until October 2001! \nThey were both investors of the freakin Carlyle Group, an international corporate group that acts as a military contractor!"\n2 - Bin Laden's brother owns a construction company (Bin Ladin Construction Group), and it's responsable for the construction of almost all US bases in the Middle East.\n3 - Isn't it strange that Bin Laden's family was allowed to leave the US in a private jet on 9/12, while other commercial and civilian flights were cancelled?\nWhy didn't the CIA consider them as possible suspects? \nThey weren't not even interrogated!\n4 - Bussiness relations between the Bush and Bin Laden family go a long way back.... Not to mention that the CIA actually funded the first Afghan islamic groups in 1989, to counter the soviets. (The US is actually responsable for creating the talibans)\n5 - Just check out Google Earth! If any miserable pundit like you or me can have access to such advanced satellite imaginery, then imagine the technology that the US military must have! How is it possible that they cannot find him? Do they really want to find him?\n6 - If you watch the BBC documentary "The Power of Nightmares", they mention there how Al-Qaeda is not properly portrayed by western media. They want us to believe that Al-Qaeda is in fact a single, unified terrorist organization, while the truth is that Al-Qaeda is just a political base that has no links to the individual, independent terrorist cells that carry out the attacks.\nIn other words, catching Bin Laden won't end terrorism, since the terrorist cells (in Iraq, London, Spain and elsewhere), often act independently.\n7 - Despite claims that Al-Qaeda is an old organization, it's never mentioned by the CIA's internal reports before January 2001.\n\nPersonally, I believe that there's something fishy behind the whole affair. It would not surprise me that Bin Laden is actually working for the American neo-conservatives and large corporations, by providing them with an excuse to scare the population, introduce a curtailment of civil rights and engage in pro-bussiness wars and military interventions.

nice name screen name thing. hmmmm well bush is stupid and likes the oil over there and there have been rumors that he ordered 9/11 to happen.
554614
no, but the US attacked them unprovoked.  The Iranian Prime minister in the 50's Mohammad Mossadegh enforced an Iranian law that said their oil belonged to them.  British Petroleum was taking their oil at dirt cheap prices at the time, so Mossadegh kicked them out.  Then the US brought in the CIA and kicked out Mossadegh.  They financed an army and arrested him.  Then they tried him for "treason".  This is crazy, because he had support of the people in Iran.  Then we moved in and started taking their oil.\n\nThis was the US's first act of imperalism and many more followed.  This history of the CIA is the dark side of every president.  The head of the CIA is appointed by the President and has no accountability other than the Presidents approval.\n\ntheir have been reforms such as the Freedom of Information act, but their is no system of checks and Ballances and if no one sues the CIA then they are not held accountable.\n\nFurthermore, Iran is one of the most ancient Civilzations still in existence.  they have been invaded, so they have several time had to fight people such as the Mongols for freedom, but they have never gone on an Imperalistic fantasy such as the Nazi's or America

From the point of view of Bush, the strategy of USA after the great event of 9/11 is to fight terrorism outside the USA and at the site it originates.\nIran has its own Nuclear Program which from the point of view of USA is for the purpose of developing a nuclear bomb but not for energy as declared by Iran.\nI don't think that oil is real reason because USA is rich human resources and culture which can transform dust into gold

The answer is not clear cut as there are many theories being bandied about on who is responsible for the attacks on the 11th of september 2001.\n\nThe clear answer is that The USA invaded Afghanistan because they believed the culprit for the attacks on Sptember 11th 2001, on the United Sates of America, to be the Taliban. As we now know, the Taliban denied the attacks and the origin of the film showed by 'Fox' news purporting to be Bin Laden, the leader of the Taliban, claiming responsibility for the attacks is unknown.\n\n'Conspiracy theory' suggests that the long answer is that the invsion was a calculated step to bring the USA closer to controlling the countries known to own major oil reserves. The USA governmnet held the Taliban responsible for the attacks in the USA on the 11th of Spetember. It was then purported that the Taliban (read up about the origins and history to the current time of the Taliban) had links to the Iraqi government, S Hussein, and that the Iraqi government had access to Nuclear weapons/ Weapons of Mass Destruction. It was based on this 'intelligence' that the USA invaded Iraq. This 'intelligence' has been found to be misinformation by both the USA and UK governments. Saddam Hussein is being charged for 140 murders of Curds. These men were found guilty of crimes against the state by the sovreign Iraqi courts and were sentenced to the maximun penalty of death. In Iraq, you can be sentenced out of your presence.\n\nThe USA invaded Afghanistan because they needed a route to Iraq. Controlling Iraq means that the USA is able to add momentum to it's economy by using it's two main money makers, the military and energy.\n\nYes, there is oil in Iraq.

He is a flat out liar.....\n\nhow after all this do we not assume that 9/11 was his idea to send us into a war for oil not terrorism.\n\nIt was the greatest motivator ever, we were all united like you said and maybe this was his plan all along..\n\nChaney and Haliburton to do the contracting on the oil pipeline's etc. a huge military contract $.\nAll of the other military suppliers who make money everytime we drop a bomb etc.\nThe Oil Companies, who daddy and Ben laden's family have huge monies invested and sit atop of the board of chairmen for there joint company. See Farenheit 9/11\n\nThe huge unheard of profits by exxon etc.\n\nThe whole thing reaks of a set up....\n\nMoney being the only true motivation.....\n\nJust my opinion but it seems to obvious to not be true....

Nah, it wasn't oil.  That's probably the most overworked cliche.  If it had been oil we'd have complete control of all the oilfields by now and that's not happening.\n\nSome part of it might have been left over grudges from the first Iraq war, but I suspect that combined with George Bush #2 getting some justification for finishing things, like the overreaching for weapons of mass destruction, was all it took.\n\nThe real reason I believe had more to do with Israeli security than anything else.  Iraq represented the biggest threat to Israeli security and pressure by Israel on the US may have had something to do with it.\n\nOther than that, Bush may have deluded himself into thinking that God told him to do it. Bush may be on a sort of "religious" conquest in his own mind.\n\nOne of these three possibilities may have been the prime motivator, or some combination, but I doubt very much if oil had anything to do with it because events subsequent to the invasion do not support that theory.

you've rephrased your question, so i'm just gonna repost my answer:\n\nconspiracy theories posit a centralized concentration of power that generally is simply untenable in most (though not all) cases. \nan appropriate analogy is the power disparity between a parent and a small child. having superior explicative resources, the grownup can and often does fabricate deceptive modes of understanding events (santa claus must have been here, we sent the dog to a farm where he can run around and play, etc). but these deceptions are almost always planned far in advance, and always involve a taciturn complicity on the part of the child.\nin the case of 9/11, conspiracy seems unlikely because of the suddenness and publicity of the event.\nis it possible that insidious shadow elements of the american government engineered the attacks of 9/11 in order to manufacture consent in a war and oil grab in the middle east? well--anything is possible, but this seems highly unlikely as it is a blatant violation of the principle of ockham's razor (the simplest explanation is generally correct). not only does it unnecessarily add factors by positing a near supernatural power concentration in the hidden nether regions of u.s. government, but it further assumes the complicity of huge networks throughout the middle east, including bin laden (all functioning preternaturally to maintain the shroud of secrecy). a much simpler (and therefore almost indubitably more accurate) description of events can be constructed by simply decentralizing the nodes of agency--the demands of an enormously diffuse industrialized society for large quantities of energy resources concentrated in the middle east has resulted in a need for a level of cooperation that is nigh upon impossible to sustain given the disparate ideologies of the millions of individuals engaged in the complex operation. mix in a large measure of volatile historical tension, and a destabilizing imbalance in resource distribution, then heat the situation with the complete failure of conventional warfare to develop traction, and terrorist tactics on a major level are a natural reaction--the first major bubble in a solution starting to boil. \n\nbesides, if there were an all-powerful secret society working deep behind the curtains, do you really think that the united potheads of the world are going to form a viable resistance?\n\nis everything about what happened on 9/11 transparent? no. but conspiracy theories are for people that can see some of the picture but just can't connect the dots. so they make up fantastic mythologies to connect them. \n\nby the way--lightning isn't an angry anthropomorphic god throwing bolts of electricity either.

Yup..trainded and funded by the CIA..oh, and Saddam was btw...he was given chemical weapons by the US...oh, and so was the current Iranian regime!
