Good thread.
While I think that there is obvious evidence that there was more to 9/11 than meets the eye, the reasoning behind the conspiracy doesn't add up for
me at all.
I'll use MonteloDiablo's points because I think they are pretty comprehensive in detailing the reasons most people give for the execution of
9/11.

there are any number of reasons
1. the USA securing their control over one of the last sources of oil before it all runs out and they're FORCED to use renewable energy
sources
The middle east hardly represents one of the last sources of oil. Its value geographically as a military installation is more valuable than its value
as an oil resource. I may be wrong, but I think I remember hearing that there are several countries in South America that boast larger oil resources
than Iraq.
2. the CIA clearing up the debris left over from their secret wars in the middle east during the cold war
If you are having a SECRET war and you want to clean it up, you simply turn your back on it and pretend it never existed. You certainly don't stage
an elaborate attack on your own country to "cover up" something that 99.9% of the world doesn't know about anyway.
3. the CIA keeping a tight grip on their drug interests in the middle east
If you are saying that the CIA wouldn't have had the funding or might to continue efforts like this, I would have to disagree. Drugs are one of the
few interests in this world that has ABSOLUTELY no problem funding itself. Too much money is made here to claim that this arena needed help
financially...especially not a dire enough need to stage such an extravagant "fund raiser" as 9/11.
4. creating a reason to go after some of americas most potent enemies before they can get their hands on the bomb
As was stated above...the bomb is its own reason. Besides, when has George W. Bush ever needed a REASON to do ANYTHING! Here is a guy that has been
operating against the will of the American people, without apology, for several years now. Where is another terrorist attack? Bottom line: he
doesn't need one. He never really did.
5. almost criminalizing a large part of the population (muslims) to help usher in the police state
For a police state to take hold in the U.S. it would have to be put in place quickly enough to rule out the opportunity for the next election. That
is a massive and completely unlikely operation that has already (in my opinion) missed its window of opportunity. (Again, in MY OPINION, the whole
police state, NWO angle on 9/11 is totally unrealistic and damaging to the 9/11 truth movement. IF that was the reasoning behind 9/11 then it would
have been instituted (probably SUCCESSFULLY) in October of 2001.)
6. exposing the flaws and uselessness of the UN and thereby asserting the USAs dominance as THE world superpower
I just can't believe that showing up a clearly toothless organization was, in fact, the purpose behind what would be an absolutely decadent display
of treachery.
The fact is that there is no reward that could have been attained by the President or Silverstein or any of them that would outweigh the MASSIVE
MASSIVE RISK of staging such an outlandishly overt PWNing of the American people.
You're talking about risking EVERYTHING for gains that could be made in other ways.
