Debunking a 9-11 myth

[Aquila]

I believe the government knew an attack was coming. I don't believe they understood exactly how many were involved, or exactly when and where. Seeing that they didn't have enough information to prevent it... I believe the government just "braced itself" and waited. When it happened, I'm not sure anyone knew of what magnitude it would become. I do think the towers fell due to the heat and fire resulting from the planes impact. I think the government expected the attack to give them a green light to conduct military reprisal and perhaps allow them to further a regime change agenda in Iraq. But I don't think anyone knew how terrible the attack would be... or how expansive the military response would become.
