MEMRI: Retired Egyptian General Charges that 9/11 was an Inside Job

Worse yet, he quote Vice-President Cheney as having told this to President Bush.

In typical Arab fashion, retired General Muhammad Khalaf of the Egyptian Army says that every President, beginning with Bush Senior, has desired to cement America's place, not just as the dominant superpower of the world, but the only superpower. To that end, he says that the United States Air Force destroyed the Twin Towers and slammed a plane into the Pentagon.

Leave aside, for the moment, the testimony of Lisa Beamer, whose husband, Todd, definitely identified Arabs as having hijacked his plane before he led an ultimately futile effort to regain possession of the cockpit. An Arab would think of a plot like this. An Arab would carry out a plot like this. But an Arab will never understand that the openness of our government makes such a plot impossible.

Then again, neither will overly imaginative filmmakers, from John Frankenheimer (Seven Days in May) to Oliver Stone (JFK) to Michael Moore (Fahrenheit 9/11).
