Not to beat a dead horse---re; 9/11

5. Every, EVERY!! speech he gives lately starts off with a 911.
Constantly trying to be a salesman, selling his lemon war to the people.

6. I absolutely believe it. I suspect most of DU does.
And although my posts are low at this point, isn't this topic inappropriate for general discussion? Not that I mind.

8. Weren't they suppose to show us proof of that? bush 'n blair that is?
Didn't those two LIARS tell us they had proof Osama Bin Forgotten was behind the 9/11 attacks, shortly after and that they would be showing us the evidence? I don't ever recall seeing that evidence. Anyone else? So no I don't believe Bin Laden was behind the WTC attacks. SHOW ME THE PROOF YOU LIARS!

13. Yes,
The Taliban said they would hand over Bin-Laden if the US showed proof that he was behind 9-11. Colin Powell promised to do so, but never did.

"Powell Says U.S. Will Share Evidence Against bin Laden "

Washington -- Secretary of State Colin Powell says the United States will share evidence it has gathered linking accused terrorist Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, al-Qaida, to the September 11 attacks in New York and Washington that killed thousands.

"In the near future we will be able to put out a document linking him to this attack," Powell said September 23 on NBC's "Meet the Press."

9. As an alleged tin foil hat wearer, let me say this about that ...
I would like to try to draw a line between crazy conspiracy theories and reasonable ones, even though that is objectively not possible.

I have no doubt that bin Laden was responsible. What I have questions about is whether he was aided, perhaps without even his knowledge, by elements in this country. And whether his attack was made more spectacular by actions within this country.

For Chrissake, the hijackers were wired money by the head of Pakistan's ISI, who just happened to be in DC on 9/11, and whose organization had helped the US funnel money to bin Laden when he was fighting the Soviets.

It is pretty well documented that elements of our government knew that bin Laden was going to carry out an attack and did nothing -- whether it was to facilitate it or out of incompetence, we can't say.

But I don't believe in theories like, bin Laden didn't do it; there were no planes, only holograms; there were pods on the planes; missiles fired from the Woolworth bldg; the passengers are living large in Italy, etc etc.

14. all I know for sure about 9/11 is that the "official" story . . .
Edited on Wed Dec-07-05 11:49 AM by OneBlueSky
makes no sense and is, in fact, an impossibility . . .

like everyone else, I don't know what DID happen on that day . . . but I do know what DIDN'T happen . . . and what didn't happen is what the government says DID happen . . .

the key question that keeps coming back to me is "Why are they lying?" . . . the obvious answer is that they don't want us to know what really happened on 9/11, i.e. they're hiding something . . . much more investigation is needed to find out just what it is that they're covering up . . .

http://www.reopen911.org

on edit: what happened on 9/11 is, in my view, the KEY issue that leads to everything that's happened since, e.g. the war in Iraq, the Patriot Act, stolen elections, etc. . . and it's an issue that people care passionately about . . . finding the truth about 9/11 will lead to finding the truth about a lot of things . . .

19. I did at first and then I switched.
But I went back to thinking he had something to do with it and our government allowed him to succeed. I think he hated us even more after Fitzgerald brought charges against him from the bombings at our embassies in Africa.

20. Less evidence has been presented that bin Laden was behind 9.11 than
Sadam had WMD. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that something quite different than what we're suppose to BELIEVE, happened that day. Difficult to find out precisely WHAT happened, however, and that itself is suspiscious.

21. that Loose Change video
that was posted here the other day has gotten me thinking about this stuff again.What I can't erase from my memory are the plumes of smoke a few floors ahead of the crumbling buildings as they were falling.Also,the reflection in the glass looking like a missile being fired.If you guys haven't seen it do a google search on Loose Change and watch for an hour and then come back and talk.

22. I don't believe it b/c there isn't evidence
except the so-called "evidence" that the Bush/Cheney has been spoonfeeding us for the last 4 years.

BeamMeUp said it best:

"Sadam had WMD. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that something quite different than what we're suppose to BELIEVE, happened that day. Difficult to find out precisely WHAT happened, however, and that itself is suspiscious."
