Default What if US Intelligence Knew something was gonna happen?

Ok, I know its too soon to start conspiracy theories, but since neither the press and gov't has mentioned the fact that Bin Laden was US CIA trained I started thinking about other issues.

Like- "Dubya" (Bush) has been looking for something to increase his popularity. What if the intelligence info pointed to an event, but they just never predicted it would be this serious and so they watched the events unfold?

I mean Bush has been pushing to go to war like a hawk. Not to say that that is not the appropriate response, but more importantly, he's been pushing for huge defense budgets. After any terroist attack, he would have more ammunition to push for all the Defense Budgets. You think they'll get it now?

What do you think?

I need some sleep, too. I have been sitting here for two days, listening to Fox News, CNN and MSNBC while flipping between news sites and S2Ki.com.

Man, this whole d*mn situation sucks, so, so bad.

I think you're full of shit. To think that our own president would do something such as this is incomprehensible.

Bin Laden was trained in the 80's to help fight against Russia so I think that has no bearing on yesterday's events. We trained a guy a long time ago who turned against us. I don't think he called his old CIA buddies and told them what would happen and then Bush sat on it. Our country needs to pull together now, not come up with stuff like this.

It would explain why all of the military bases closed most of their gates two weeks ago.

I think you are nuts as well

There is absolutely nothing to point to the fact that the US Government knew anything about this at all.....

A conspiracy theory usually has something that it is based on...

Like the Kuwait thing.....

America has loads of bombs that are going to have to be decomission (they only have a certain useful life) and this is going to cost millions. They also know that Saddam is thinking of invading Kuwait. Behind the scenes America tells Saddam that they will not react to an invasion as long as he keeps the oil flowing. Saddam invades, America gets the backing of the UN to go in and bomb the hell out of him. America then gets paid via the UN for their costs of supplying the bombs, which saves millions on decomissioning and pays for the replacements. President's approval rating goes up. Everyone in the western world owes America gratitude (and a debt) for sorting Saddam out.....

That is a conspiracy theory!!!
