Can you imagine the conversation with Bush and Chaney when the Spooks came up with this cunning plan? Mr President, Mr Secretary of Defense, we need a plan to allow us to justify and invasion of Iraq. We've put our brightest people on it and here the two options.
Plan A. Plant two dirty great bombs in Twin Towers, detonate, plant a few dead Iraqi bodies at the scene
Plan B. Convince 17 Saudis (even though we are planning to invade Iraq) into doing a suicide mission to allow the USA to invade an Islamic country. Train them for 6 months at various pilot schools across the country. Hijack 4 planes (no not just one, we want to increase 4-fold the chances of something going wrong and us being caught out) to fly into landmark buildings in the USA and kill thousands of our countrymen.
And as an extra measure arrange for the world's best demolition crew to secretly smuggle in and plant explosives throughout the highly secure Twin Towers.....and while we're at it we will do the same for a 3rd building nearby - once again just to add to the risk of getting caught and you two going down in infamy as the greatest traitors and villains in the history of the USA and your families and descendants having to live with that legacy. And by the way we need to involve American Airlines, United Airlines, airport security, air traffic control, first-responders, the BBC and several other parties, but don't worry I'm sure none of them will ever spill the beans on the greatest conspiracy in human history.
So there you go George, Dick........which one shall we go with?
