Did the Saudi govt. LIHOP 9/11?
Most of the Saudi royals, and, I may be wrong here, the Bin Laden family knew about 9/11 in advance. Obviously these people have ties to both Al Qaida AND the BFEE/PNAC. I think they at least LIHOP'd since they knew and didn't say anything, and that's the reason(s) * is covering up records of 9/11.

1. Why though?
So that we'd attack Iraq so we could stop getting oil from Saudi Arabia? I don't see why they'd do this.

2. if they knew
why were they "stuck" in the US, necessitating a special fly-out while all the other planes were grounded?

I'm not saying they did not know. It just seems that if they did, they would have left before 9-12.

Although the fly-out did smell an awful lot like the evacuation that was allowed from Afghanistan, on which apparently many Taliban and Al Qaeda escaped.

Including that Saudi royal who was the owner of the 2002 Kentucky Derby winner (BTW he's dead now).

3. Also...
...a big part of what bin Laden is against is governments like the Saudi royal family - he sees them as fake Muslim governments. I don't think you could say the Saudi royal family has ties to him.

6. Some of them do
My point here about a Saudi Royal LIHOP, and I haven't entirely thought this out, but maybe they were doing the BFEE a favor to advance their agenda.

7. A favor?
Think for a moment...who besides bushco would benefit from this favor?
Not the palestinians...but the ...?... maybe Saudis unwittingly provided the cover for a bait & switch. A little too coincidental that these were all supposedly Saudi hijackers?? and the Bin Ladens were in the US at the time of the attack. Like a "law & order" episode that points to the obvious...therefore it can't be!
Maybe, in the near future Sharon lobs some missiles into Syria as payback to Hammas for some suicide bomber and *&co figures it's time to suspend the elections in order to straighten out this new Middle East quagmire...maybe I should stop thinkin bout this shit so much!!
