Yep. Plausible deniability to avoid direct war with Russia.
Actually it was to keep their goat smelling butts out of prison for collaborating with the terrorist.
The Clintons and the democrat party started collaborating with the terrorist as far back as 1991 when they began making the preparations for the 1st WTC bombing.
Doc #AFGP-2002-600321, Osama bin Laden himself tells you exactly were to look for 90% of the preparations for the battle(attack) and these preparations can only be made by people in this country, not the terrorist.
It wasn’t “just a coincidence” the Clintons, the democrats and their allies in the MSM covering the famine in Somalia were able to create the talking points in advance of the 1st WTC bombing that after the bombing the attack was described as “a spontaneous response to Bush sending troops into Somalia”.
Straight from OBL, 90% of the preparations for the battle(attack) is the news.
