A lot of what was done after 9-11 doesn't make sense to me. But if we're investigating it, what motive is being suggested for the actions the article is highlighting? In other words, if the writer has an alternative explanation for reality, I'd like to know what it is. Or even what he guesses it is.
My guess is Bush-Cheney-Wolfowitz and the neo-cons wanted a war with just Iraq because it was ‘doable’, we would be welcomed and oil would pay for it. Besides they were working on the mushroom cloud like Iran it today. Syria also has weapons of destruction. Our policy is find a reason to ‘whack-a-mole’ one country at a time, maybe Saudi thinks that is a good idea.
Agreed, there would be no possible reason for the Saudis to attack the country that keeps the money flowing to them. This story reeks of BS.
