It depends. Somebody can argue over any of it, claiming any meaning for any of those points.
If you want to talk about coincidences though, try this: Not only was NORAD having wargames that morning, but FEMA was already in Manhattan, at
WTC7! FEMA arrived in NYC on Monday, September 10th. They said they were there for a bio-terror drill scheduled for the 12th that they called
"TRIPOD II". Instead, they (FEMA and the OEM) kicked into action out of WTC7 immediately the next morning, becoming involved with the fire
department, police department, medical personnel, the general closing-off and etc. that ensued, and eventually even the clean-up and BPAT team that
was toured through a landfill to "investigate" the Twin Tower collapses. And of course, FEMA released the first "official report". So things
worked out conveniently for FEMA, huh?
WTC7's fire alarm was basically nulled on the morning of September 11th, before the attacks, so that any fire detected would be ignored. It was on a
"test mode" or something along those lines. Another coincidence, considering these things don't happen every day.
Larry Silverstein had an appointment that morning and was out of his office in the Twin Towers. Another coincidence, something that doesn't happen
every day.
One of Bush's cousins that had an office in one of the towers, had it moved just before the attacks, to a lower floor. Something else that, one
would image, doesn't happen every day.
The NRO was having an exercise where their headquarters was evacuated because, hypothetically, a plane had flown into it. Another strange
coincidence. These workers were all sent home when the actual attacks took place, which is odd considering their work is important to our military
intelligence, and in such a disaster you'd think they'd be working overtime making sure nothing else was going to happen.
The leading intelligence expert on al Qaeda was made security head of the WTC just before 9/11. September 11th was actually his first day on the job.
He was killed. His name was John O'Neil.
I could go on with more of these coincidences, like a CEO of a financial company being invited out of WTC2 to Offutt AFB (which was also having some
sort of exercise going on) and arriving in time for her to see Flight 175 slam into her co-workers, or Donald Rumsfeld apparently "predicting" a
terrorist attack to his co-workers 5 minutes off from the actual attacks.
But the point is that so many significant coincidences, not
trivial coincidences but significant ones, involving FEMA and the military and the
WTC and government officials, tend to put strain on the official story. It doesn't seem likely that all of these things just happened to occur
together, and that there was no organization to them, because as soon as one sincerely contemplates a conspiracy, all of these things suddenly cease
to be merely coincidental, and they make sense as a unit: NORAD was crippled by wargames, FEMA was sitting in WTC7 just waiting to roll out, and guys
behind the scenes were pulling strings to make sure no one important to them was in harm's way, or in one case, that someone important to them (top
al Qaeda expert John O'Neil)
was in harm's way.
One way of looking at things (official version) is that all of those things happened by chance and were merely coincidences, and very unlikely ones at
that. The other way of looking at them is that they were designed to coincide, and it wasn't random or by chance at all, but the implication is that
therefore, al Qaeda at least wasn't acting alone in its attack on civilians here.
