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.

Whoah whoah whoah. The dollar is perfectly green and any association with oil or bombs is purely coincidental. /s

Are we just going to ignore the innocent people that died in Afghanistan?
