Was 9/11 a "Star Wars" Demonstration?

It is interesting to recall that prior to 9/11, one of the most controversial topics related to the Bush administration was their wanting to invest billions in missile defense ("Star Wars"). This was something they were actively trying to sell during Bush's first year.

I actually remember thinking on 9/11, how ironic that the Bush administration was spending so much time on missile defense when the country could be attacked by (what I considered at the time to be) such low technology means (since I had accepted the official narrative of that day, being too much in shock to consider anything else).

It seems quite possible to me that 9/11 and the destruction of the WTC was a top secret demonstration of US anti-missile systems.

Now, some of you may wonder-- if they had something they could shoot from space to destroy things, why on earth didn't they use it to destroy the hijacked planes?

The answer is complicated.

First, that's not what they wanted. They wanted money to develop new systems, and the best way to get new money for the DOD was to start a new war, one with a really great provocation.

Second, they also wanted a new war for various reasons, they didn't want to STOP a new war.

Third, there were no hijacked planes to shoot down!
