1) the neocons are concerned with the impending loss of American power and reduction on military spending
2)they as businessmen are also looking to benefit from an increase in profit in the arms industry
3)they come to power and decide they need to redress points 1) and 2)
4)looking at precedent they decide they need to create a false flag conspiracy to ready the american conciousness for an appetite for war
I don’t personally find 2) important - just a ‘fortunate’ by-product.
What’s the difference between a ‘multi-millionaire’ and a ‘multi-millionaire plus a few million’?
Also, if the above were in chronological order, I’d put 4) before 3)

6) arrange for a group of predominantly saudi arabian civillians to hijack a number of planes,even though their plans ultimately do not involve an attack on saudi arabia
A separate note on this point. Were there any Afghan or Iraqi assets available and willing to work directly for U.S. interests? Doesn’t it make more sense in context of a false flag that agents are found to be from a country that is a U.S. ally and stood to gain from the ‘War on Terror’? Doesn’t the fact explain why the hijackers received assistance from a Saudi government agent?
If anything, this point favours existence of a false flag operation.

If you were one of the conspirators and that plan was floated across the table,would the response be " Well given what is at stake I cannot think of a less convoluted,less risk adverse,more reasonable operation"
For example… ??
The attack had to be attributed to terrorists (a state sponsored attack wouldn’t have made sense or allowed a widespread response), on a large and permanent enough scale to support a long ‘War on Terror’ (sufficient to replace the Cold War threat) and big enough that people would be hesitant to doubt.
I don’t see that the plan settled on was convoluted, overly risk adverse or unreasonable.
It was failsafe so much as can be. The background story was in place, most of the evidence would be destroyed during the attack, it left relatively few leads, those who became the hijackers would not be talking, on the surface there was little to question.
Where the plan did perhaps encounter problems and/or leave evidence (many of the issues put forward by the truth movement as indication of a false flag) these are excused over and over as natural, coincidental or irrelevant events. Those in power knew they could put forward any semi-legitimate explanation and with media backing it would be accepted by most of the public.
Just look at the cover story set here in case it were required: -
“For example, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed described the design of planned attacks of buildings inside the U.S. and how operatives were directed to carry them out. That is valuable information for those of us who have the responsibility to protect the American people. He told us the operatives had been instructed to ensure that the explosives went off at a high -- a point that was high enough to prevent people trapped above from escaping.”
~President Bush, Oct. 31, 2006
Why did Bush come out with the statement at that time?
Because the truth movement had just hit the mainstream…
Not only had Loose Change gone viral throughout the preceding year which increased public awareness, but qualified figures were stepping into the debate - architect Richard Gage had founded AE911T earlier in 2006 and BYU physicist Steven Jones had also just released his paper on the WTC collapses.
In response, those behind the attack set the story that one of the alleged 9/11 masterminds had “planned attacks” whereby “explosives” were placed at “high” points in buildings. Now, had any evidence of demolition been introduced that NIST could not provide some semblance of explanation for… it’s ok, terrorists planted the bombs that brought down the WTC buildings.
You know most people would have swallowed it whole.
One day the nature of 9/11 will be accepted as self-evident but now, even 10 years on, there are far too many people unwilling or unable to see what’s right before their eyes - it is the usual way of things - perhaps this is the biggest reason of all it was known the plan would not have an adverse effect on those responsible.
