Really ?

All right, let's pretend...
FIRST, I wouldn't waste my time framing some toilet of a country like Afghanistan that not even the Soviet Union thought was worth fighting over. I wouldn't even frame Iraq as Hussein became fairly toothless after the first Gulf war. I'd frame Iran and knock out two birds with one stone- eliminate their power base in the region and take their oil. Framing Venezuela would be my second choice as we'd get their oil and get rid of a Communist power base in the Americas, plus we wouldn't be getting any Muslim fanatics on our case.
SECOND, I wouldn't waste my time on any retarded [censored] like staging fake hijackings to cover up secretly planted bombs. Everyone knows bombs were planted in the WTC back in 1993 so I wouldn't even need to cover up any bombing.
THIRD, I wouldn't waste my time on any pointless antics like controlled demolitions. It's unnecessarily convoluted, there's too many way that it can go wrong, and it would need to involve too many people. I'd topple the towers right over and cause tens of thousands of casualties to make sure people are thoroughly going ape sh*t. Do you high school kids even fathom what "shock and awe" even is?
FOURTH, I wouldn't waste my time attacking the Pentagon. It's too large of a target to have any significant impact, the building doesn't much of a meaning to the typical American outside of being an office buiilding for generals, and the people who'd be killed are largely unknown to the rest of us. I'd crash the plane into a major iconic landmark like the Capitol building instead. Why do you think Hitler set fire to the Reichstag and not some farmer's tool shed?
FIFTH, why in the name of Mickey Mouse would I waste my time digging up a hole to fake a plane crash in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania? Is there some cow I need to assassinate to keep quiet or something? Scratch that entire nonsense off the list altogether
SIXTH, I wouldn't need to spend a dime on planting any disinformation. There are enough characters out there spinning bizarre stories of controlled demolitions, Jewish World Order plots, secret cults of Satan worshipping numerologists, lasers from outer space, hologram planes, etc as it is who'd do all the work for me. That French crackpot who wrote a book claiming a cruise missile hit the Pentagon is as blatant a snake oil peddler as someone can possibly get, and there are still people who believe him.
...so how does this exercise show that the 9/11 attack was a conspiracy, precisely?

It doesn't. It is just an exercise. Thank you for participating. Now that you've told us how you wouldn't pull of 9-11 as it happened -- mind telling us how you'd do it as it did happen?
So the US administration not only controls the US news media but that of Europe, the Middle East, Far East etc.

But Afghanistan was the goal. It wasn't just a convenient scapegoat. You have to have an agenda for your scenario, or what is the point?
To the extent bombs would have been planted to collapse three buildings would have been ridiculously suspicious to anyone with any sense. Your tactic would create more 'truthers' than the actual attacks did.
Then you would not have had the cooperation of Larry, who you would have needed in order to fill the buildings with explosives without anyone questioning. You had to have someone on the inside to help it go smoothly, what if you were caught hallway through planting your explosives?
Emotions Dave, maybe you don't have any? If you want the people to look at your scenario with their emotions rather than their intellect then you better do something to trigger those emotions. Otherwise people will see right through your plan.
The crashed plane gave us the American 'heroes' story, brave Americans taking on the bad terrorists armed with box cutters. How are you going to create the emotional outrage that did?

All right, I'll bite- just *why* in the name of Kermit the Frog would anyone seriously want to conquer Afghanistan?

So what if the Afghans captured OBL and gave him to the USA? Wouldn't that be one enormous mission failed for the plotters? Doesn't that make it an extremely silly plan to begin with?
