Let's keep this thread clean. I know its hard for some of you to prove your point without taking personal shots at people with a conflicting belief, especially on an apparently controversial topic like this.

Follow these 2 rules and you just might be able to pull off the illusion of knowing what youre talking about.
1. Logical, rationalized approach to attacking someones idea. Systematically demolish that persons argument, leaving no hint of emotional involvement or sentiment in the air.
2. Back yourself up with a credible, up to date source if you want to bring something new to the table. No one cares about what some douche has to say on his blog or in an amateur YouTube video.

On topic, I believe the people who carried out 9/11 were indeed foreign terrorists belonging to, or at least associated with Al-Qaeda. They had the motive, the means, and the history. It would be nearly impossible logistically for a domestic government agency to pull this off.
What motive would they have had? Can you imagine the repercussions if one person leaked the truth? No civilian or military agency has a sustainable level of secrecy that high. The war was a huge display of a lack of organization, preparedness and impulsiveness at the highest levels of the government. The cost to benefit ratio of going to war for oil would have been analyzed well in advance, and it would have been thrown out as a catastrophic loss of money. Just think about it.
