Has any of these conspiracy theorists about 9/11 mentioned a motive for the US to attack itself and blame the Middle Eastern countries?
I know that many people seem to base any US action in the Middle East to be all about oil, but why do we need to attack Afghanistan or Iraq for oil? We don't need any oil from them. We buy most of our oil from Canada and Latin America. The only oil we buy from the Middle East in any significant amount is from Saudi Arabia.

Quote:America is one of the world's largest oil producers, and close to 40 percent of U.S. oil needs are met at home. Most of the imports currently come from five countries: Canada, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Venezuela and Nigeria.

"People have tended to exaggerate how much oil we imported from the Middle East," says John Duffield, an energy expert and professor of political science at Georgia State University.
"In the long term, it may look like a historical anomaly that the U.S. became so involved in the Persian Gulf," he adds.
