What was the motive?

Start overseas wars so they can launder money through the fat contracts they give their friends to rebuild and shit. Like Joe Biden's brother got. Maybe it was a pride thing for the Bushes, too.

Plus less privacy, less freedom in the country etc, for the sake of preventing terrorism.

Except Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and everyone knew it, including Bush, and all they had to do was have the British invent a fake paper claiming WMDs.

So that's all it took to invade Iraq.

Yet you think 9/11 was this huge elaborate setup to... invade Afghanistan, a pissant nation with no value?

Iraq was absolutely sold off of 9/11. Just because that didn’t end up being the formal reason doesn’t mean they didn’t channel the national desire to strike back at something into that war.

As for Afghanistan having no value—the actual players don’t matter. All that matters for the contractors who make money off of the conflict is that it exists. Same for the money laundering that happens with the decades of nation-building after we “win” the right to pour money into a shithole. It could have been literally anywhere, all they needed was a big hole in the shape of a war to dump cash in.

"channel the National desire to strike back at something"

That was Afghanistan, not Iraq. Any supposed connection of Iraq to 911 was bs, trying to sell the public on war.

The original claim re: WMD was Saddam would not hesitate to use it, if he had it. And he had with poison gas. That much was reasonable.

Saddam violated the terms of his cease fire agreement. No further justification was needed.

So literally hundreds of people were involved in a plot of mass-murder, not one person leaked, and they were happy to do so so Raytheon could sell new radar systems?

Uh huh.

You jumped from Iraq to Afghanistan. Why?

How much more disingenuous could you be?

Nevermind, I don't want to find out. You're a disgusting, vile creature.

Because we invaded Afghanistan first, two years prior, you daughter-raping shit-eater.

34 tons of gold in the basement of WTC 7 might have something to do with it.

Look at what was accomplished. You've got the terrorist goals, and the globohomo goals. (Globohomos ARE terrorists, but they used to use different means)

The terrorists got to destroy the main symbol of the UN. That alone would be good enough for them. OBL had already tried. They also got to bankrupt the US.

Globohomo goals include permanent military presence in the ME and bankrupting the US. And if you want to know what Country doesn't have a Rothschild owned central bank, just look who the US is pointing its guns at.

The US is being disposed of now that none are left, except Iran, N Korea, and who else? Our military might still be used to enslave Iran. Doubt they go for N Korea.
