# Al Qaeda’s war plans and how they led to 9/11
# The threat of a suitcase nuclear bomb in New York and how that changed the course of the war.
# The deal the U.S. made with Russia and Iran which made the invasion of Afghanistan possible — and how those deals affect the United States today.
# How fear and suspicion of the Saudis after 9-11 tore apart the Bush-Saudi relationship and why Saudi Arabia’s closest friends in the administration became the Saudi’s worst enemies.
# The real reasons behind George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq and how WMDs became the cover for a much deeper game.
# How the CIA miscalculated about Saddam Hussein’s and Iran’s real plans, leaving the U.S. bogged down in the war.
# How the war in Iraq began with a ruse, pretending that a “target of opportunity” attack on Saddam Hussein had presented itself.
# The real story about why the U.S. raises and lowers its alert status and why the United States can’t find and destroy al Qaeda.
# The strategic successes that are slowly leading the United States to victory
