1. This guy is a nutcase. And so are you if you believe it.

<<<We saw our national defenses perverted so that no defense was mounted at all to save New York and Washington, DC, from planes that had been known for hours to be hijacked.>>>

You really believe this?

4. Even Howard Dean doesn't believe that.

7. Yep...

because it is absolutely the truth. I know an FAA guy, and they were on the ball when Clinton was in charge. The FAA was buzzing about the soon-to-be-released Hart-Rudman report months before the 2000 election, but Bush forced that ball to be dropped.

Bush and his people allowed 3,000 people to be slaughtered in order to push their agenda. The proof is overwhelming. Where was the FAA? Where was NORAD? Where was the military? Sorry, but it's crazier to NOT ask these questions than it is to try and justify our governments inaction on the day of the 9-11 attacks.

11. hey RU

we know they were told planes could be hijacked and flown into buildings - yet when the first tower was hit THE SECOND TOWER WAS NOT EVACTUATED AND NEITHER WAS THE PENTAGON. Could you possibly explain why?????

13. I disagree...

I think the writer is spot on and woe to those
don't fully comprehend the fact that on December
12, 2000, this country suffered a bloodless,
post-modern coup d'etat.
Plain and simple.
BHN.

15. I believe it was more than possible, though unproven

It is odd how, when golfer Payne Stewart's small plane ceased responding, F-16s werre scrambled in 15 min., yet 4 planes go dark and are allowed to cruise the airspace unmolested.

Even odder that, as former Air Force I know that there is a fighter wing at Andrews AFB, minutes outside DC.

I was wondering? Do you believe Watergate happened? That the Reichstag Fire was started (or allowed to happen) by the Nazis in order to further their Totalitarian aims?

Just wondering. I am absolutely certain any reply would surely be Fair and Balanced.

2. Wow....

I've been thinking along these same lines for the past couple of
years as well.
I'm sure that TRUE Americans have been thinking this all along. The
question is: how willing are the sheeple to stand up and fight for
our country and our ideals? Have the sheeple become to complacent?

I hope we never have to find out...

6. I think the author is absolutely correct.

These people will stop at NOTHING> I think that has already been proven with JFK, RFK, and MLK. Yes, i think they would nuke NY if they thought it was in their interest.

This is precisely the reason I get upset when people here say, "Don't say this", Don't say that", because what will the wingnuts think of us. Who cares what they think? They will NEVER be satisfied.

8. Martial Law

One attack from Al Q. in the USA will bring about Marial Law. What does that entail?

Could the election be postponed indefinetly?

9. The military was told to Stand down

Plus, evidence of how the buildings fell straight down does not fit.
At seismic labs in New York State vibrations had gone up very high right after the planes hit. The labs recorded two hits--the later very high impact at ground level.
And you have W's brother Marvin Bush as the head of Security for the World Trade Center and Dulles Airport working for a Kuwaiti firm that held the contract for both buildings.

12. I completely agree

with the author of that piece. I have said, time and time again, "Oh no, Bush wouldn't do THAT," only to see him do it. It just boggles my mind to see this administration and the Congress that backs it get away with this crap, over and over again, despite the fact that they know that the American people are completely against the measures they pass -- the Patriot Act II and the additional $87 billion to Iraq. They did it because they could. And I have no doubt that they are willing to drop a nuke on a major American city if it would mean that they could rule forever.

14. this author is right on the money

There was a 'bloodless' coup by a group of fanatics who either encouraged or let the WTC thing happen. I think there is ample evidence of this.
