9/11 was a coincidence as they were already planning the invasion of Iraq months before this event because Saddam announced that he would trade petrol with EUR instead of USD.

Yeah, I remember them trying to first pin 9/11 on Saddam before it was confirmed to be Al Queda. It was weird. And then of course the made up WMD stuff.
