Maybe the Saudis paid for it and supplied the hijackers but ultimately it was Americans that diddled around instead of scrambling interceptors, gave NORAD faulty information or orders not to shoot down incoming craft at the Pentagon.
I seem to recall the lead hijacker going to some rich Saudi's place in Florida which was abandoned not long after 9/11, the Bush administration allowing the Saudis to fly out of the country unquestioned by the FBI and a few other connections in places like San Diego.
The Saudis set up Al Qaeda to get the extremists OUT of Saudi Arabia and fighting anyone other than the ruling family. 9/11 was the pretext for invading Iraq who was a major competitor in oil production and the removal of Saddam who they thought a danger to themselves. It allowed the US to stage massive military assets nearby for their protection. All in all 9/11 worked out wonderfully for SA, oil prices stayed high, their enemies and competition neutralized and all they had to do was throw some money around.
To think that family was just a bunch of camel herders 100 years ago.
Eta: I wouldn't put it past the Western powers to invade Saudi Arabia if they felt they needed to secure their oilfields. If this info gets and hits the mainstream be watching for more pretext to invade to follow shortly after.

Considering all the hijackers were Saudi citizens except for one, I always felt there was a connection. Why would you recruit only Saudi citizens for a terrorist strike, unless the planning and financing came from the same country of origin?

Turki is a interesting character, he often crops up and the Saudi behind who funded 9/11.
I personally am unsure on him, he had several meetings with Bin Laden during the Soviet Jihad, but he has since called Al-Qa'ida a "evil clut" and been highly critical of the group.

Dude, you make way to many blanket statements and claim to know how way to many of us think and feel.
Speak for yourself and focus your thoughts on the individuals you have problems with, not an entire mindset that you keep trying to force on everybody. Relax a little...
Please?

I actually missed this post....
So if we ignore it, and it was an inside job, and the US government was actually entirely a co-conspirator with Saudi and Israel....
what then?
It cannot be ignored. The real criminals are still out there and in control.

You are kidding, right?
