Was Iraq inevitable, regardless of whether it was a D or R in the White House? Or, would he have resisted and doubled down in Afghanistan?

    oh yeah i was memeing about bush doing 9/11, but its easy to forget now how incredibly mask-off the pnac publications were about everything , including frothing at the mouth for "some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor"

    i dont think they were actively involved or necessarily knew that 9/11 specifically was coming, but they had ample intelligence to know something similar was coming, and they 100% made a conscious decision to let it happen and capitalise on it rather than do anything meaningful to stop it

      This seems more and more likely every time I read about how the FBI will wind up right-wing psychos instead of arresting them or talking them down.
