I am like 99% sure that this was not the case, but that 1% still creeps into my mind sometimes. I don't for a second believe that any of it involved controlled demolitions or remote control planes.
I guess it doesn't help either though that going as far back as the 1960s, the idea was put forth by someone in the U.S. government that a terrorist attack involving highjacked planes crashing into skyscrapers could give the U.S. a mandate to occupy Cuba.

You would almost have to blame Clinton as much as you blamed bush. 9/11 was as much an illustration of the failings of the CIA then anything else. They had a lot of the pieces of the puzzle ie Al Queda members taking flying lessons, getting false papers to get into the states, money transfers.
But the message never got through, it was stopped by the whole "Confirm it before we kick it upstairs argument", followed by the "This is too stupid to be true, stop surfingthe internet johnson"
9/11 was allowed to happen through the failures of the American intelligence community.
