What did this particular group of people most covet? Their secrecy? Particularly the parts of the National budget that were kept secret throughout their multi-term access, the result being astronomical debt, wage enslavement, wall street and corporate dominion, and the dollar is going to need to arrange it's funeral - always too expensive.
They are war profiteers and oil men. Those two items alone are responsible for their access to our governments highest office - Bush was so unqualified and anyone who denies it should be considered of unsound mind themselves. He was put in place to fulfill someone elses complex agenda. He's a slick bastard, but I highly doubt that George reads Tom Clancy (on anything less than Xanax), let alone PDB's or internet news. He was given this treasure map and it lands him and his cronies on war profits and oil profits. Fancy that?!
911 was their plan, bin Laden is just a boogieman first used to threaten the oil cartels with "oil going over $160/barrel" - not directed at the average American whatsoever, but straight into the heart of the group. And wouldn't you know it - he was RIGHT - record OIL PROFITS through the boogieman bin Laden and his spooky secret note to the President of the United States (who happens to be at the heart of a family that are both war profiteers and oil men)! What are the odds?!
Yes, it obviously was a crime of massive proportions. The defenses were literally brought down on purpose. But suppose that even if bin Laden did plan 911 - how in hell could he have known about the military maneuvers planned? How did his cabal of miscreants entirely confuse NORAD and every top brass and every staff that made decisions integral to perpetrating 911 (on accident)? Those NORAD people installed for this "job" have not been questioned to my knowledge, let alone considered enemies of the State, a terrorist cell and their every action a potential threat to our blah, blah, blah. Getting logical investigations is like the video footage, computer, phone and camera data taken by Mossad agents, 757 wreckage, the Gitmo torture tapes, the exact record of theft from the vaults under WTC or Dick Cheney's visitor records - all magically disappeared.
It wouldn't surprise me if a large number of operators that day were originally CIA, inventing some kind of multi-branch requested seal equating essentially to the perpetuating executive secrecy bullshit purposefully instituted solely for it's misuse which is tradition with these Presidential frauds.
Cheney is a criminal and always has been. Those whom he associates himself with are also criminals. His family and the families of their friends are also criminals. Basically, they are the "terror network" that Bush was referring to. War profiteers and oily men. They represent the 1% that own nearly everything with a dollar value that is on this planet. They never minded killing us to get at their resources, in fact that just cuts back on us flotsam who breed uncontrollably. Perhaps they generated the Haiti earthquake because they are good people with good intentions and can easily justify the crime with higher profits? Only time (and the swelling of quite a few UBS accounts) will tell.
