OK, I don't want to seem like I don't believe our leaders, but....why?
Why would Al Queda want to disrupt our elections when it could mean our current President will be gone? Seems like a dumb plan.
I smell something cooking.

Like Whitehouse Officials had said, they have a working premise about terrorism and the upcoming elections.

Just ask yourself: Who stands to gain?
They will do anything to retain power.
They know they can't win the election in November b/c they have so screwed things up.
Desperation's a muthaFukka.

It will be United Nations Troops who will take care of marshal law in the United States
The Bush Administration stands to gain from a major terrorist attack on the United States Homeland. As with 9/11, it provides the fear, justification for Bush to continue his war campaign overseas, as well as providing justification for stricter control laws over his citizens. If you study history, you will see that there are many discrepencies over the Intelligence of a possible strike on America, like Pearl Harbor, in which the Administration knew something was going to happen, and they let it slip by on purpose to provide a justification to retaliate.

who's country's leaders hate America, would want to work for the CIA. Please tell me why? Why would they risk their lives and the lives of their families to do anything to benefit a country they hate?
Your hatred of America, the CIA, the Gov., or whoever is clouding your thinking.

Some poor Al-Qaeda operatives would want to join in the CIA plots because they are probably provided large sums of money along with special training in terrorist tactics.

So I ask again, why would Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups cooperate with the US and CIA when they are the ones getting killed?
