The September 11th attacks provide a blanket, perpetual cassus belli for Washington to target smaller nations around the globe on the pretext that those have some amorphous connection to "terror." That was the motive for the 9/11 attacks. It was premeditated and admitted to in the Project For a New American Century document "Rebuilding America's Defenses." Some key people wanted it, and they committed Treason to get it, and to keep it covered up.

One cannot "rebuild" America's defenses unless those defenses have somehow failed. That failure was engineered to be "a catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a New Pearl Harbor." Far from a "failure," however, the 9/11 attacks proved to be a rousing success for those invested in the Military-Industrial-Complex. US military spending more than doubled in the subsequent years, from $301.7B in 2000, when their manifesto was written, to more than $711B at its peak in 2011. The military budget dwarfs all other areas of US government spending, and it is where America's wealth is redirected.
