Check out this clip from MSNBC's countdown where they admit that Bush wanted to stage the shootdown of a UN plane over Iraq to lure Saddam into war.

Note: if they are willing to provoke a war with Iraq like this and have thousand of troops die what makes you think they wouldn't carry out 9/11 as a pretext for war in the middle east.
