12. Are you suggesting "Operation Northwoods" was pulled off the shelf and dusted off...

...to be used to get us into Iraq?

When taken as part of a growing picture that includes:
1) Bush unable to remember how he first learned of the 9/11 attacks--he first said he saw it on TV but later changed his recollection to say he was notified about it.
2) Bush flies all of the Saudi family out of the US the day after 9/11 when no other planes were allowed in the air.
3) The lies used to place blame on Saddam Hussein: Yellow cake and WMDs, for example.

Not to mention: Bush family and Saudi royal family has been friends and business partners for decades (Salem bin Laden, Osama's brother, financed W's oil ventures in Texas in the early 1970s)

It makes sense.
