SHAFAQNA – Background: US foreign policy is based on “we win or you lose”.
There is no “we win and you win too” and “you lose and you lose too”.
The US economic power comes from subjugating other states by installing puppet governments friendly to US business interests.
An ex CIA operative names John Perkins in his book called “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” pointed out that the CIA agents are given orders to persuade leaders of resource rich nations to accept IMF World Bank loans.
If they cannot pay back the interest bearing, they will have to pay back the loans using minerals
Saddam Hussein refused and so after assasinatuons attempts failed, the US invaded Iraq and installed a puppet government there.
Today, American companies drill oil in Iraq.
Al Qaeda was formed in Iraq by the occupying powers at that time which was tbe United States.
Al Qaeda became active in Afghanistan “to go after the Soviets” as Hilary Clinton confessed.

Al Qaeda was given massive support at the expense of US taxpayers.
It was head of the CIA George W Bush who met al Qaeda leaders and promised them financial suppott to the tune of 3 billion dollars per year.
What did the US get in return?
Poppy seeds to make heroin. potential oil and pipelines and a massive 1 Trillion dollar motherloade of Lithium.
The pipeline dreams of the Western oil companies are to build oil pipelines from the Caspian Sea and over Afghanistan through Pakistan which was to run to Port Gwadar on the Southetn coast of Pakistan: the Transoxanian Oil Pipeline.
However, Port Gwadar was more recently leased out to an adversary of the United States but which have been friendly to Pakistan.
Today, the Pakistani port of Gwadar is leased out to the Chinese.

ISIS is al Qaeda 2.0.
To answer your question: 9/11 was a pretext to invade resource rich Afghanistan and Iraq where al Qaeda was actively spreading terror at the behest of American weapons sellers.
The conspiracy theory that 911 planes were hijacked by 19 suicidal Muslims, some of whom turned up alive after the attack is preposterous as is the accusation that Mohd Atta who had failed a single engine Cessna flying tests could have taken control of a jetliner, and executed a 270 corkscrew turn – asserted with drawing presented in the 911 Commision Report – to crash exactly into the Pentagon where comptroller Dov Zakheim was working on the 2.3 trillion dollsrs missing from Pentagon accounts.
So how did the towers collapsed?
Who had access to the twin towers and the airports?
Answer is Israeli security companies and Marvin Bush who is the brother of George W Bush.
All these security companies paved the way for the placing of explosives inside the WTC Twin Towers and the World Trade Centre (WTC) Buildimg 7 weeks before 911 while all this while Muslims are totally unconnected to the planning and execution of the most heinous crime against humanity.
WTC Building 7 colllapsed on that very same day even when no plane had hit it!
All three buildings had been wired for demolition weeks before 911 and the collapse was made to appear to have been done by Muslims flying into two of the buildings.
