And the motive for the housing bubble was to pay for PNAC's Yinon Zionist incursion into the Middle East:

Post-9/11 call for regime change in Iraq
On September 20, 2001 (nine days after the
September 11, 2001 attacks), the PNAC sent a letter to President
George W. Bush, advocating "a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power in
Iraq", or
regime change:
...even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the attack, any strategy aiming at the eradication of terrorism and its sponsors must include a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq. Failure to undertake such an effort will constitute an early and perhaps decisive surrender in the war on international terrorism.
[5][19]
From 2001 through 2002, the co-founders and other members of the PNAC published articles supporting the United States'
invasion of Iraq.
[20] On its website, the PNAC promoted its point of view that leaving
Saddam Hussein in power would be "surrender to terrorism."
[21][22][23][24]
In 2003, during the period leading up to the
2003 invasion of Iraq, the PNAC had seven full-time staff members in addition to its board of directors
and:
"New Pearl Harbor"
Section V of
Rebuilding America's Defenses, entitled "Creating Tomorrow's Dominant Force", includes the sentence: "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor" (51).

Though not arguing that Bush administration PNAC members were complicit in those attacks, other social critics such as journalist
Mark Danner,
[39] journalist
John Pilger, in
New Statesman,
[40] and former editor of
The San Francisco Chronicle Bernard Weiner, in
CounterPunch,
[41] all argue that PNAC members used the events of 9/11 as the "Pearl Harbor" that they needed––that is, as an "opportunity" to "capitalize on" (in Pilger's words), in order to enact long-desired plans.
Gary here. I do argue that they were complicit in the attacks. As FDR said, nothing happens in government by accident. And the retired president of Italy said Mossad and the CIA carried out the plan.
