I haven't read all this thread but if you could enlighten me on what the theory is as to why "Bush and Cheney" and other countries governments and the Air Force and whoever else was complicit in this act did perpetrate it?
From my personal point of view, the most suspicious uncontested facts/actions are:
Bush was in Florida on 9/11. Four days previous, Jeb his brother and governor of the state enacted executive order 01-261 placing Florida in a state of martial law. I've read debunking efforts of this fact but they don't change the fact that had Bush been caught out (assuming he was comlicit) he would have faced trial by the Florida National Guard and not the usual process.
At the time Bush is told of the attacks he sits in a classroom with 16 children listening to a story, holding his book upside down. He stayed there for over 20 minutes when his constitutional duty was to command the defense of his country. As one of only two people able to authorise the shooting down of a hijacked plane (a law introduced only a month earlier) it was crucial he assume his post immediately.
At the time the attacks Cheney was in the Presidential Emergency Operating Center and was made aware of the plane being flown towards Washington when it was still at least 50 miles away. Eyewitness testimony from the Minister for Transport Norman Minetta states that during updates Cheney was asked "do the orders still stand?".
Bush took 441 days to authorise an investigation into the events of 9/11. He also enacted severe restrictions of the power given to investigators including allocating only $600k to the effort.
Bush refused to authorise an independent investigation.
Bush authorised the removal and destruction of all physical evidence from the twin towers before it could be forensically examined.
Bush and Cheney refused to testify under oath before the commission. They also insisted that they be questioned together when they were specifically asked to interview alone, as is standard procedure. They also refused to allow recording or transcripts of their interviews.
Bush strongly opposed an investigation into the government's reaction to the attacks again in 2009.
Now, I'm not saying by any means that these facts prove anything. I do however think they demand further and proper investigation.

Thanks and similarly doesn't change the fact that people proposing that this act was perpetrated by the US government on its own people is classic psychologically imbalanced behaviour.
Why? Operation Northwoods was a proposed US government operation to fake terror attacks (using drone aircraft) against its own citizens to justify initiating a war against Cuba. That's fact. If that's a fact why is it such insanityto believe it might enact such a plan in 2001 when many of the facts surrounding the events suggest government complicity?
Are you a psychologist? Psychiatrist? Do you even know what classic psychologically imbalanced behaviour is?
