“While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein …
“the process of [military] transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor …

PASSPORTS
Michael Springmann, head US consular official in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, later claims that during this period he is “repeatedly ordered… to issue [more than 100] visas to unqualified applicants.” He turns them down, but is repeatedly overruled by superiors. [BBC, 11/6/2001; ST. PETERSBURG TIMES, 11/25/2001]
Springmann loudly complains to numerous government offices, but no action is taken. He is fired and his files on these applicants are destroyed. He later learns that recruits from many countries fighting for bin Laden against Russia in Afghanistan were funneled through the Jeddah office to get visas to come to the US, where the recruits would travel to train for the Afghan war. According to Springmann, the Jeddah consulate was run by the CIA and staffed almost entirely by intelligence agents. This visa system may have continued at least through 9/11, and 11 of the 19 9/11 hijackers received their visas through Jeddah (see November 2, 1997-June 20, 2001), possibly as part of this program (see October 9, 2002 and October 21, 2002).

——————————————————– OIL
Cheney’s energy task force. Includes maps of Iraqi oil fields. Went to supreme court for failure to disclose.
In his second week in office George W. Bush created the task force, officially known as the National Energy Policy Development Group (NEPDG) with Dick Cheney as chairman. This group was supposed to “develop a national energy policy designed to help the private sector, and, as necessary and appropriate, State and local governments, promote dependable, affordable, and environmentally sound production and distribution of energy for the future.”

Senator’s word’s
“They don’t have any excuse because the information was in their lap, and they didn’t do anything to prevent it.” – Senator Richard Shelby, then ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee; member of the joint intelligence committee that investigated 9/11
“I don’t believe any longer that it’s a matter of connecting the dots. I think they had a veritable blueprint, and we want to know why they didn’t act on it.”
– Senator Arlen Specter, a Republican member of the joint intelligence committee that investigated 9/11

THE COUNTER-TERRORIST, Lawrence Wright, The New Yorker, Issue of January 14, 2002 http://www.newyorker.com/FACT/?020114fa_FACT1:
“[I]intelligence had been streaming in concerning a likely Al Qaeda attack. ‘It all came together in the third week in June [2001],’ Clarke said. ‘The C.I.A.’s view was that a major terrorist attack was coming in the next several weeks.’ On July 5th, Clarke summoned all the domestic security agencies—the Federal Aviation Administration, the Coast Guard, Customs, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and the F.B.I.—and told them to increase their security in light of an impending attack.”

No Warnings? I think the citizens were the only ones not warned?
Willie Brown got low-key early warning about air travel, Phillip Matier and Andrew Ross, San Francisco Chronicle, September 12, 2001 http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2001/09/12/MN229389.DTL
“For Mayor Willie Brown, the first signs that something was amiss came late Monday when he got a call from what he described as his airport security – – a full eight hours before yesterday’s string of terrorist attacks — advising him that Americans should be cautious about their air travel.”
“On Sept. 10…. a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly canceled travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns.”
Newsweek 24 September 2001
“CounterPunch has also learned that an internal memo was sent around Goldman Sachs in Tokyo on September 10 advising all employees of a possible terrorist attack. It recommended all employees to avoid any American government buildings.” http://www.counterpunch.org/aftershocks.html

CBS News: Ashcroft Avoided Commercial Travel Prior to 9-11
“In response to inquiries from CBS News over why Ashcroft was traveling exclusively by leased jet aircraft instead of commercial airlines, the Justice Department cited what it called a “threat assessment” by the FBI, and said Ashcroft has been advised to travel only by private jet for the remainder of his term.” http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/07/26/national/printable303601.shtml
“The war on terrorism is an integral part of Bush’s National Security Doctrine . It is being used as a pretext for waging war on Iraq. Many antiwar activists are unaware that successive US administrations have over the last 20 years supported Islamic terrorism including Al Qaeda . The latter is a creation of the CIA. It is a key instrument of US foreign policy”

*War Games/NORAD*
Gen. Ralph Eberhart, commander of NORAD on 9/11 was promoted to head the new “Northern Command” afterwards if 9/11 had been an intelligence “failure” General Eberhart would have been court-martialed (He was promoted for failing to follow proper protocol.
9/11 commission blamed it on the FAA which happened to safely land several thousand planes that day.
Multiple drills were happening at the same time as the Hijackings including The US National Reconnaissance Office, which operates spy satellites, was conducting a simulation of a plane crash into their headquarters (near Dulles Airport in Virginia) on September 11.
Ironically, during 7/7 london bombings they were running one terrorism drill as well and Mr 9/11 was there himself.

Giuliani says attack echoes 9/11
Mr Giuliani said people must stand up to terrorism
The Mayor of New York during the 9/11 attacks, Rudolph Giuliani, has spoken of the “eerie” experience of being in London near one of Thursday’s blasts.
– why the director of the “commission” to investigate 9/11 is a business partner of Osama bin Laden’s brother in law (Gov Thomas Kean, formerly of New Jersey, is a director of Amerada Hess, which is invested in the Saudi consortium to build the fabled pipeline across Afghanistan …) Even Fortune magazine has picked up on that.
