Hard statement to argue, but maybe because they wanted a bigger "show". The conspiracy theorists always point to the document "Project for the New American Century" which was written by several people in the Bush administration. It contained the passage: "
Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor" (sources
1 2) which conspiracy theorists claim is the seed of a self inflicted attack to empower the Government to make the changes they desired...
I am on NEITHER side. I see some merit in what
some of the conspiracy theorists say. They do have too many fruitcakes on their side which hurts credibility badly. But at the same time there are some things that simply can't be explained to me.
I have watched all of the video. Yes they do 100% look like controlled detonations. None more so then WTC7. But even the towers, you certainly see what looks like detonations etc. This then begs the question, even with the state of technology in 2001, did they really think such a huge, televised event would not be scrutinized? That in itself makes it seem absurd.. but damaged buildings simply don't fall that way..
All I can say is I have no idea what really happened. I suspect very few really do. Certainly nobody posting on the internet about is has all of the answers and is just guessing, or at worst making crap up to support what they truly believe. That goes for people on both sides.
