The truth finally out w/ respect to the aliens the govt knew all along about

This is why the 911 Conspiracy Theories work.

When you ask; Why'd they do it?

They can answer: So they could invade Iraq, dummy.

And that's why they used mainly Saudi's.

 

[Draconis]

If those aliens were intent on invading, wouldn't they have done so by now? I say that because if current UFO sightings are explained by aliens, then historical ones should be too.
The more technologically advanced we become, the harder it would be to do so: they should have done it thousands of years ago when all we could fight them off with was sharp sticks and flints.

As for 911, the middle east has long been a kind of chessboard between USSR/Russia and the US. It's entirely possible that Saddam was considering throwing in his lot with Russia, and thus the US decided he needed to go, and thus an excuse to do so was prepared that would be somewhat more palatable to the rest of the world than simply going in and doing it unannounced. Well, nice cuddly countries don't do that sort of thing, do they?

Or we could believe it was something that was not known to be happening until the last minute, and the US decided to take advantage of the opportunity.

If aliens came they wouldn't hide.

There would be no logical reason for them to do so.

They would not be afraid of disturbing humans as if humans are the most precious and valuable animal in the universe and can't be disturbed.

It is only deluded humans that could ever imagine that.

Is there some reason you are ignoring what actually led up to the coalition taking the Saddam regime out? He was taking control of the middle east oil fields. He had invaded Kuwait, claiming their oil fields and was preparing to invade Saudi Arabia to take control of their oil fields. All this was a decade before 9/11 so the attack on the World Trade Center could hardly have been used as an excuse for the invasion of Iraq.

ETA:
You seem to have gotten cause and effect reversed. Ben Lauden cited the staging of US troops in Saudi Arabia in 1990 to protect the Saudis and mount the attack on Iraq as the reason for the attacks on the WTC on 9-11-2001.

Yup.

And that's why they used Saudi's.

Makes perfect sense.

"We want to invade Iraq so lets use Saudi's."

"Sounds great you mastermind George."

If aliens exist I do not think it would do any harm in saying so and everyone know someone is out there potentially more powerful than we are. Other countries exist and they know they are not as powerful as say, the United States or Russia, but the people in those countries still carry on marrying, having kids, going to work, ect.

The only thing I think could potentially go wrong is if they are peaceful for most intent aliens and they come down with their equivalent of videos from our past. This videos show us building the pyramids or building ancient Eridu and so forth and this recorded history goes back further than what some religious literalists allow for a time frame. Then some po dunk preacher says they are not aliens but demons and when an alien wanting to tour some small town and say hi gets shot "because he is a demon" then it may get ugly.

Kuwait was slant-drilling into Iraq's oil fields - that was what the first war was about.

No. that's what Iraq used as a pretext for using the 19th province argument to take Kuwait. there is no relation between 9-11 and the first Iraq war.

9-11 evovled from US training bin laden in Afghanistan in the late seventies and early eighties supporting mujahideen against the Soviets in Afghanistan.

Apparently 18 UK "X-Files" are due to be released in August regarding the Rendlesham incident. I expect more interesting but inconclusive information.

Kuwait was slant-drilling because Iraq wasn't paying it's loans. Saddam decided to eliminate the loans by conquering the banker.
