The 2000 report contained the sentence: "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor."
They didn't have anything to do with 9/11, but the event was the new Pearl Harbor for the neo-conservatives who were supporters and members of PNAC, allowing them to advance the process of working toward their military/political goals, starting with Iraq.
Signatories to PNAC's statement of principles included not only Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, but Cheney and Jeb Bush. In all, 18 PNAC members became part of the Bush administration.

I've seen controlled demolitions in person. They happen in the opposite order of the WTC collapses.

There is compelling evidence that 9/11 was not what it seemed

No, there is not.

I'm not sure you got my gist.

I don't think there is any evidience that Bush wanted to attack Iraq before 9-11
20/09/2011 05:21:09 PM

Um. Well, sure, that would be true. If you ignored all the evidence.

Well if you had argued that some Bush advisers wanted to attack Iraq I would have agreed

Even if that were true, it would still be flip flopping on a central Bush platform plank.

The fireproofing was scraped off the steel by the crash, so the beams melted.
