So, is your argument that the first step in the plan was to facilitate a
major terrorist attack on the US, like 9-11?

Via negligence, yes. But I'm not saying Bush knew anything about it. Hell he was on vacation most of the time and he's as dumb as a shirt anyway. Cheney, Rumsfeld are the puppeteers. All they had to do was pretend that they didn't think they had to worry about Bin Laden et all and pooh-pooh a few reports that the terrorists were stirring. Its an easy conspiracy to contain because all you have to do is have a few people in key positions act dumb and fail to act. And that's pretty much what happened.

Other terrorist attacks came and went without much stir, (the Cole, the embassy bombings, etc.), so it
would have to be a big one.

None of those attacks came while the PNACs were running the show. And Clinton couldn't have acted if he wanted to anyway because of the Republican congress and blowjobgate. I don't think they anticipated the scale of 911, but its scale empowered them that much more than they would have been otherwise.

Maybe this Abrahms thing will blow the whole thing open. I just heard that Delay has given up any attempt to retain his leadership. I think the next few years will be dominated by stories about Republicans being indicted and jailed.

Surprise, surprise.
