I see you started your account here about 14 days ago correct? This kind of attitude will not get you very far here on ATS. Calling people names like "morons" or "delusional" is looked down upon by the mods that look over these threads. I would tone it down a bit, you made some logical points, you can just do without the name-calling.

If the official reason for going to war was WMD's and our saftey, why did they need to stage a terror attack in the first place? Couldn't they have just told the American public the WMD story and thats it?

What weight? The plane hitting the building did not add any extra weight that the building could not hold. The towers were designed to hold 5x their weight.
Sry but your logic doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

Its not the weight - its the fact that 300,000+ pounds is slamming into
the building at 500 mph that is the problem! The tremendous energy
of such an impact destroyed much of the structure and started massive
fires on several floors.
Actually we did go to war as a direct result of 9/11. Because of 9/11 and the Taliban's refusal to turn over Osama Bin Laden

Was it the plane that ejected pieces of the facade, weighing in the tons, 600 ft away from the building?

Hey I didn't say it was the weight, that was the taxi dude.
The buildings obviously with stood the aircraft impact before they globally collapsed into dust and twisted steel.
Was it the plane that ejected pieces of the facade, weighing in the tons, 600 ft away from the building?
Was it the plane that pulverised concrete, furniture, people?
Was it the plane that magically allowed the towers to ignore the laws of physics and fall with no resistance?
What pancaked the massive central structure?
Where did the 'tremendous energy' come from to do that? Jet fuel? Yeah that's a good one...
Go get a piece of aluminum and piece of steel and see if you can make the aluminum break the steel.

I agree that the 9/11 attacks lack motive from our government.
I fully believe the US could have done everything it has done in Afganistan and Iraq with or without the deaths on 9/11
Then you are completely delusional and prefer a life of fantasy rather than reality. The US has/had major interests in the middle east and were looking for an opportunity to further their agenda in that region.

The fact is that there is no story to 9/11, just an operation where 4 teams hijacked 4 aircraft and attempted to destroy and kill as many as they could.
The WTC were hit so that they would collapsed into one another, just like they they tried to do in 93.
PNAC is not law, it is a think tank, and there are many. Have you ever read what PNAc wants other than the snippets on prsionplanet and the like. It wants a safe and free US for the future which is what I want. Call me a neocon or what you will.
The US was going to the middle east with or without 9/11. If any of you know anyone in the service pre-9/11 ask them and they will tell you that is was well known we were going back. Islamic terrorists hit us first.
The story an d allure of fantasy make 9/11 conspiracy so entertaining. The only cover up on 9/11 was flight 93. It was controlled by less than a dozen people. That is a conspiracy and the whole nation thinks "let's roll' was a battle cry to wage war for.
Sadaam told me it was our CIA who gassed the Kurds
Why not? What was the catalyst to bomb Bosnia? How about Korea? Grenada? Panama? Mogidishu? Why didn't each of those military actions require a 9/11 type event?
Wouldn't the exposure of stark opression and the fact that the Taliban was aiding an organization ALREADY --PRE-9/11-- wanted by US Authorities for the murder of US Military and civilians ( Embassy bombings, Saudi barracks, USS Cole) -- wouldn't that have been enough, had the US decided to concentrate on that area?

Try this exercise-- Stand on 20 saks of potatoes and hold 10 sacks of potatos over your head...pretty heavy right? Now, stand on 10 sacks of potatoes and hold 20 sacks of potatos over your head. Is it heavier to hold 10 sacks of potatos over your head or 20 sacks?
