4. I'm mixed on it, I think they were expecting an attack, but they
figured it would be a small one since they didn't give UBL much credibility. I think that's why jr looks so stunned in the 7 min. thing. This scenario fit's best with my belief that they are basically incompetent.
I don't see any evidence to support Lihop or Mihop. On the other hand there were efforts to ramp up a war stance against Iraq as far back as 1998 in letters to Clinton from the Neocons. The Neocons never needed 9/11 or anthrax to justify (in their minds) military action against Iraq. Whether the invasion would have happened without 9/11 is another question.
I hope I am not wandering too far from your original discussion.
