Ayman al-Zawahiri was in the tape as well. Also in the tape was a double amputee Saudi Mullah who was later extradited from Iran to Saudi Arabia and was given amnesty. He verified the meeting. Were these doubles as well?

I think the meeting was in Kandahar. The Saudi entered Afghanistan through Quetta after the war began and ended up in Kandahar. The tape was found in Jalalabad.

Of course all of what you cite is based on a wikipedia source and if I was so inclined I could go and change it to a suit another version.

I will make this contribution to this thread without commenting on the speculation surrounding the towers destruction.

Apparently there is a memo recently mentioned in the news that proves Bush was set to attack Iraq regardless of evidence to justify it.

To put this in perspective, Bush was willing to commit American lives and Iraqis lives on a knowingly fabricated case for war. If people’s death are so shallowly considered, I then have to ask myself at what level does Bush and his administration have a conscience towards peoples lives? To what length will they go at sacrificing peoples lives to fulfill their political objectives?

TONY JONES: New evidence has emerged which appears to show that the United States and the British governments were set to invade Iraq, regardless of whether a second UN resolution was carried and even if international arms inspections failed. In a leaked memo of a meeting between George Bush and Tony Blair, the US President also suggests an unmanned aircraft painted in UN colours might be flown over Iraq in the hope it would be shot down and provide a trigger for war. In a moment we'll talk to the British lawyer, Philippe Sands, who detailed the memo in his book Lawless World but first, this report from Stephen McDonell.

STEPHEN McDONELL: In February 2003, US secretary of state Colin Powell made a powerful but now discredited case that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. It was an attempt to secure a second UN resolution as a justification for an invasion of Iraq. But five days earlier, George Bush and Tony Blair met at the White House and it's now being reported that they were then preparing for war, irrespective of any second resolution.

RE: How Bush got support

We almost made it through a day without someone posting a conspiracy theory. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

RE: How Bush got support

To try to put it in perspective again, more lives have been lost in this second Iraq war than those lost from the towers destruction, and yet the United States government continues to be allowed to try to perpetuate the myth of the war's validity.

If the evidence shows that the case for war against Iraq was a fraud perpetrated by the government of the United States, then that whole display of shock and awe in itself, and the lives it must have cost, is a complete abomination.

Aw! No worries, Mogz, I am sure we are going to manage to get through an entire day, some time in the distant future! :) In the meantime, though, we have two threads dedicated to this theory today, courtesy of our dear DerekJay. Double the fun!

After reading this thread this song is going through my head "The wheels of the bus go round and round". Round and Round.
