Am I Missing Something?
I do not recall any report of any of the hijackers taking credit for the worst attack ever on American soil.

They didn't issue a single statement about why they did what is alleged they did?

No reason was ever given by the perpetrators. That's rather odd, don't you think?

1. Perhaps you could explain
How could the hijackers possibly issue a statement taking credit for what they did?

2. Remember when
Colin Powell said he was gonna issue a complete statement about the whole affair, but never did?

I'll bet he looked for an LTE, a note, a press release, anything from any of the 19 proclaiming why they were on a suicide mission that would shake the world.

Maybe they were just too humble?

19. I believe they had a radio at least.
They could have gave a statement to air traffic control if they had an inclination to make a statement.

3. Several martyrdom videos were released post facto...
Here is Al-Ghamdi's

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fr3rA_KKyk&feature=related

There are others of you are interested enough to look for them. Atta and Jarrah, for example, also released 'suicide' videos.

4. Al-Ghamdi?
you're grasping for straws here. nothing the narrator says in that video can possibly link him to 9/11. he seems to give some generic speech about expelling the foreign invaders from the muslim holy land, yada yada, but doesn't say one word about 9/11 or any large-scale 9/11-like event about to take place. there's nothing in the video that incriminates him.

5. Yeah, straws
If this fellow is already known as a self made enemy of the US, then what has he to lose by talking about 9/11 and praising himself and others for their 'success'?

That's what I am missing... who is trying to be the hero for 9/11? Anyone?

6. That's where the muslim hijacker story breaks down
nothing these guys allegedly did in the days before 9/11 makes a lick of sense or is consistent with the actions of devout martyrs about to sacrifice themselves for their holy cause.

7. Yep
That was one of the keys to making me examine the whole story; the whole OCT.

And upon such an examination came the idea that I was being lied to about so many things, which led me to an even closer examination to find just what were lies and what wasn't.

Overall, about 2/3 of the OCT has been shown to be lies and/or a coverup.

10. Nothing there
Just a bunch of myths that try hard to make sure Bushco is whitewashed.

You'd think that whomever it is that posts those myths, that they had something better to do than make Bushco look squeaky clean.

There is zero on that site having to do with this thread. Zilch.
Nice try tho.

See this conversation:

In some small way, I actually miss ya. Of course, we were forcibly divorced from each other some months ago by the mods, but I still liked seeing your attacks on liberals get blown away by nearly everyone else on DU.

You are trying to tell me about 9/11 and you don't even have a clue about some of the things that make DU operate? Bwahahaha

I've never been restricted from replying to a poster.

I think you should take another poll. Maybe 88 percent of DU'er have the same software delusions as you.

Consider this a request, mods.

Then I can thank them again for their Solomon like effort as I did in post #80 of the Lithos' pinned thread at the top of the forum.

You know who you remind me of? SDud.
Oh, he had more sense, and was a hell of a lot smarter. But that isn't saying much.

Anyway, speculate all you want about the why of SDud, and remain otherwise totally clueless, just remember, that is not my problem. My problem is bushco.

34. Maybe you should read the DU rules closer, or ask a moderator about
the "Forced Ignored" option that DU has, where the mods can put you on ignore from each other. You're really making yourself look ignorant here. I've been away for a while, what lead to to his demise? What was the final straw?

Peace,

Ghost

39. You know, SDude and I had our go arounds on here, some not so nice..
but we also exchanged pleasantries via PM. I liked trying to get him riled up a bit at times, but I just like some heated, in your face "debate" sometimes. I think it realy helps in the overall picture when trying to figure out just where someone stands and what their issues are. I hate to see him gone, really..

Hope all is well with you and yours, AZCat...

Peace,

35. well, me neither
I've never used the ignore function. There are people I often disregard, but no one I am willing to ignore as a software setting.

I do remember one period where the admins... someone can correct me if I get this wrong. IIRC, the admins experimented with reducing thread-to-thread pie fights by allowing posters to prevent people on their ignore lists from responding on their threads. Then the admins decided that if they were doing that, it would only be fair to let people see each other's ignore lists. I remember howling in laughter with a friend about how many people one DU poster (not someone who posts much in this forum, by the way) had barred from replying to his posts. The admins fairly soon rolled back the entire experiment.

34. It doesn't matter.

Almost none of these guys look like they are definitely the same ones as in pictures of the hijackers provided by the FBI. But whether they are or not, it doesn't matter. They may be actors, they may be real fanatics dedicated to committing real murder, they may be faked by digital means... and I don't care.

They didn't schedule the wargames for September 11th. They didn't choose the scenarios that were run on that day. They didn't practice these scenarios repeatedly beforehand. They didn't keep Bush in a school for 45 minutes during the attacks, or make Myers and Rumsfeld pretend to be scarce. They didn't spontaneously reschedule Winfield's shift on the evening before the attack. They didn't stymie command response and sow confusion in the air defense and keep the interceptors occupied elsewhere. They didn't bury the dozen-plus prior warnings from foreign intelligence services, many of them highly specific. They couldn't kill the request for a Moussaoui search warrant, Dave Frasca did. They didn't put a yellow stickie over Atta's face and shut down the Able Danger program, after it discovered them, that was the Pentagon. They didn't arrange for a fake Atta to spook around Florida prior to his official arrival date of July 2000. They didn't insure that the Pentagon was hit, or that UA 93 was shot down by a missile. They played their role, and either they believed in it or they were just acting. And it doesn't matter.

After 9/11, they didn't say there should be no investigation. They weren't the ones who decided 9/11 was an act of war that justified several wars in response, all of which were coincidentally planned before 9/11. They didn't link 9/11 to Iraq and then murder half a million people there in the name of justice. They weren't the ones who ignored the Pakistani connection. They did not anthrax the Congress, or sic the FBI to intimidate the committee investigating 9/11. They didn't set up a ludicrous investigation under Kissinger and then Zelikow, who came to it straight from the White House. They didn't say the question of who financed them was trivial and irrelevant, and should be ignored.

Have you seen any evidence of the hijackers themselves actually taking credit for their alleged activity? I haven't.

The question remains unanswered. After 7 years. No evidence. Why is that?
