He has proven that the George W. Bush administration had knowledge that an attack such as 9-11 was going to occur, and that they allowed it to happen in order to create a reason to destroy the Taliban, which was the only obstacle preventing the U.S.A. from monopolizing the vast oil resources of central Eurasia.
