15 of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis. Had they been Syrians or Iranians...

...who would Bush have invaded?

1. Still would have gone into Iraq

making the connection to 9/11 would have been easier. And remember, the oil is still in Iraq (I believe Iran production is winding down - read somewhere that in the next few years they will be importing oil).

2. He still would have gone to Afghanistan and Iraq cause that was the plan

3. Iraq

They would have attacked Iraq if the terrorists had been from Texas.

4. Per the Neocons....

Iraq is the tactical pivot, Saudi Arabia the strategic pivot and
Egypt the final prize.

IMHO, they're aiming for a "greater Israel".... :eyes:

5. Does the propaganda never end?

If 7 of the alleged hijackers have been proven to be alive today and 1 died well after 911, how on earth can you keep repeating this "15 hijackers were from Saudi" stuff? I guess you follow the Bush logic that if you keep repeating the lie, people start accepting it as fact.

6. WELCOME TO DU!

And, could you please provide a link? I think I should check this out.

8. Sorry, can't for now

Sorry, I'm not at my regular computer with all the links, but you could start with the BBC. I'll post the rest tomorrow.

13. I remember the Slate piece as well

http://slate.msn.com/?id=2069119

However, a significant part of that powerpoint would seem to contradict the Bush/Saud special relationship we've been hearing about in recent weeks

*edited to say: after a reread, not necessarily when strategic pivot is emphasized. Goings on in the past year have had Al-Jubeir and more recently Bandar frequently in the American press trying to say the right things

7. Any proof of who these alleged hijackers were?

Just wondering.

[oblivious]

10. I have no idea who the real hijackers were.

11. For Orion

Here's a few other links covering the hijackers that weren't.

I won't bother with the others because these links take you to most of them. I've just skimmed through these, but they kind of blew me away. The second one is interesting because it provides links showing which of the alleged hijackers were being trained or had been trained by the US military. I suppose all of this has been posted on DU many times before. It's amazing how many people don't know about it though.

12. I think Afghanistan

as bush was planning to act them anyway to get his "precious" pipe line in.
