There is no doubt that the Iraq War Resolution would not have passed pre-9/11. Where has all the money gone? WEAPONS CONTRACTS! To whom? Halliburton!

Larry Silverstein also signed an enormous insurance agreement specifically for terrorism in the weeks leading up to 9/11.

Put options on Boeing, Am Airlines, and United were 3-5 times the daily average in the week before 9/11.

Is there proof that it was an inside job? Probably not. Was there anything to gain from it? Certainly.
People forget the Reichstag fire incident which gave Adolf Hitler dictatorial powers in the name of "security". Hmmm...why does this sound so familiar?
