Is Another 9/11 in the Works?

by Paul Craig Roberts
quote........

It is obvious that Bush intends to attack Iran and that he will use every means to bring war about.

Yet, Bush has no conventional means of waging war with Iran. His bloodthirsty neoconservatives have prepared plans for nuking Iran. However, an unprovoked nuclear attack on Iran would leave the US, already regarded as a pariah nation, totally isolated.

Readers, whose thinking runs ahead of that of most of us, tell me that another 9/11 event will prepare the ground for a nuclear attack on Iran. Some readers say that Bush, or Israel as in Israel’s highly provocative attack on the Jericho jail and kidnapping of prisoners with American complicity, will provoke a second attack on the US. Others say that Bush or the neoconservatives working with some "black ops" group will orchestrate the attack.

One of the more extraordinary suggestions is that a low yield, perhaps tactical, nuclear weapon will be exploded some distance out from a US port. Death and destruction will be minimized, but fear and hysteria will be maximized. Americans will be told that the ship bearing the weapon was discovered and intercepted just in time, thanks to Bush’s illegal spying program, and that Iran is to blame. A more powerful wave of fear and outrage will again bind the American people to Bush, and the US media will not report the rest of the world’s doubts of the explanation.

Reads like a Michael Crichton plot, doesn’t it?

Fantasy? Let’s hope so.

1. I tried posting this twice but the mods deleted it.

2. Sears Tower could be next

I heard somewhere about the same individuals (Stratesec) handling WTC security are now responsible for the Sears Tower. Can someone confirm this?

3. I can't find anything like that

I found articles saying they were beefing up existing security because the fears of an attack are making them lose money? (Does someone know something?), but nothing about Stratosec.

4. Terrorism at Sears Tower?

I don't know about Stratosec and security at the Sears Tower.

But there have been some reports lately from Chicago about "suspicious" characters casing out the tower. Supposedly, a terrorism investigation was launched. The FBI denies it of course.

6. hmm, is it real or are they going to "foil" the terrorists

and save the day?...

5. Check for asbestos.

If the Sears Tower has as much asbestos in it as the Trade Center did, which is not unlikely, I'd worry.
