Looger, Lanny, et al, I'm trying to understand exactly what you think happened. Is your argument in essence:
The US government, needing to have a reason to wipe out the governments of Middle East contries it didn't see eye to eye with, came up with a plan for a large terrorist attack to galvanize the US and allied countries thus allowing them to do what they wanted?
The US government hooked up with Osama to get him to hand over some of his supporters so they could fly the planes or make it appear they flew the planes into the buildings. They got him to pose with some of these guys and got him to make a few tapes supporting the event...or perhaps they didn't use him at all they just found some guys who were in videos with Osama, and found a bunch of unreleased Osama videos and dubbed his voice so he could say a bunch of stuff they wanted the public to consume. (oddly enough they never had him outright say "I did it" on day one.)
Meanwhile, they got in touch with the new owner of the buildings letting them know about the plot and urging them to take out insurance on it. The gov also did some shorting of airline stocks for the heck of it, and a number of other small things like standing down some of the military and moving key personnel out of the affected areas.
Before this, then went in under the guise of construction crews and planted explosives all over the towers so that after the planes hit they could drop them. For kicks they added in WTC7 (there's some actual reason for knocking that building out too, I just forget).
They also thought, hell, we've gone this far, let's make it really good and smack up some accountants over at the Pentagon. They make it look like one of the domestic flights hit the building, but they used a missle or another plane. They disposed of this domestic flight somehow without anyone noticing it on radar or seeing it land anywhere.
What of the mess in Pennsylvania? Was it just part of the plot gone bad? It was intended to hit the Capital Building to take out some of those darn Democrats? Or, better yet, the "terrorists" supplied by Osama were supposed to fail and there was a plant or two among the passengers who were to drum up support for an overthrow and then force a crash hence adding an additional heroic element beyond the expendable fire and police personnel at the WTC?
I'm just wanting to understand what the truth actually is.
