9/11 revisited. [A must-see: ] Paul Wolfowitz, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, and the author of the "Wolfowitz Doctrine" which was the basis of the neoconservative manifesto The Project for the New American Century, giving the commencement speech at West Point Academy, June 02, 2001, three months prior to the attacks of 9/11. He speaks about the 1941 Pearl Harbor surprise attack on America and cautions his audience to expect the unexpected. The neoconservative's 21st century plan for America and the world, called the "Project for the New American Century," stated that the plan would be a long and drawn-out process unless America experienced a "New Pearl Harbor" attack. Wolfowitz's subject and timing of this speech was a major coincidence, to say the very least, with respect to the events that were only three months away. Or...the speech might have been given to prepare the new officers for the planned "surprise" attack to come. One can only speculate. [ ] The attack date of 9/11 has always intrigued me. My personal opinion is that an attack carried out on the nationally important date of July 4 would have been more effective for "foreign" terrorists to show that America is not as safe and independent as we had thought, thereby maximizing the fear factor. However, and purely from the point of speculation, if a faction inside the U.S. government wished to carry out an "Operation Northwoods" type of attack on Americans on American soil, a date would be needed to ensure the creation and retention of an indelible image in the minds of Americans of that attack in the most negative imagery possible. I can think of no better date than 9/11 as 9-1-1 always engenders fear and dread by its very nature. This is the nationally recognized telephone number used for emergencies and everyone is deeply aware of its dire significance. It would seem to be, from a Psychological Operations (PSYOP) standpoint, the logical choice to create and reinforce an easily remembered "Remember the Alamo" or "Remember Pearl Harbor" in the American psyche.
