Money Matters: World Elite Rats Destroy U.S. Sovereignty
by Elaine Meinel Supkis; in comments: "people can't credit a handful of intelligent and very directed and motivated people who desire to launch a war...The 'leaders' mill around, hoping for excuses to draw the sword and attack. But the sort of people who launched the 9/11 attacks were classic in their organization and the way they carried out their plans. The US contribution was to ignore them, not interfere with them and to let them do as the attackers wished. The DESIRE of Bush for an attack was very great."
