Only skipped through and watched a bit. But it sounds like the idea behind this is that the US goverment was behind 9/11? Anyone who believes that should be sent to the nut house asap. Thats just flat out dissgracful and pathetic. I'd personally knock the teeth out of anyone who says the US was behind 9/11 and wanted to murder 3000 americans. Some people are just %$%$%$%$ed up i guess in the way they think

You guys can believe all the nutty theries you want but in the proccess you make yourselves look like a bunch of morons. Hope ya like the nut house!

It's more than just accusing the Gov of maybe having some tips before 9/11 and didnt put the pieces together. I think the documentary is saying the US Gov carried out the attacks and not Al Queada...That's pitiful to make statements like that. And it pisses me off. Those wackos probably deny the Holocaust too....Just a bunch of idiots.

I haven't watched it and don't see the time coming anytime soon BUT for once I agree with Skip in that I just cannot see the US Government doing 9/11. The internal fights that would happen from those in the know would get the word out.

This isn't 24 or XFiles, Romper Room maybe, but not a conspiracy like this. Skip - if I say something that you don't like and you say your going to knock out my teeth, I expect you to carry out your intention :tooth:

Nah, we disagree on alot but thats just good honest debate. When people flat out lie and say the Gov carried out 9/11 i get enraged, those people should have thier teeth knocked out by all of us! Charlie Sheen is just a nut, I heard the sound bites on the radio the other day. All i can say is wow, that guy is a nut and should get a beat down! Its one thing to dislike the Bush abministration but its another to basiclly accuse them of carrying out 9/11 and murdering 3000 americans. But what do you expect from Hollywood

I didnt watch it, but how can you explain a 12 foot wide hole in the walls of the pentagon going in through 4 levels, and have no wreckage outside the walls except for a small jet turbine that wouldnt even power a private jet????

so if ya wanna "try"...and smack me i'll knock you out....no problem..:doh: i didnt watch (look at) that link.... btw...

i used to work in quarries blasting rock and the whole trick is...in controlling the shot (blowing up rock) is to have all the explosives
on a precisely timed sequence ok...

and one of my interests after that job....is merely watching how they implode buildings..... in the same fashion .....on Television...

now despite all the hooplah about conspiracy theories ,bank heists
minutes before the jet hit , tranfers of funds over seas ect...

if you just forget about all that...and look at the films of the two towers goin down...ok... in one video it does look like a controlled sequence of explosives going off (ripple effect)...as the building crumbles.

that could just be coincidense too, as the official report said the jet fuel weaked the metal and caused that to happen....similar to
a karate chop breakin a stack of bricks as the weight of the upper bricks helps to break the bottom brick.

but when you watch it several times it "could" lead you to that conclusion because it "looks like"........ a controlled implosion.:read:

other than that, i have no comment.

Most passenger jets have a small jet fuel burning engine in the rear, whose purpose is to heat the cargo compartment. It's called the "dead dog" engine, because if the flight crew forgets to turn it on, any dog riding in the cargo hold is deader than Elvis. Because it gets damn cold at 35,000 feet :eek5:

If you look at a Boeing on the ground, you'll see a heat plume coming out of an arpeture in the tail ;)

If you look at the video of the United 767 hitting the south WTC tower, the #1 engine (the one on the left wing) went all the way through the building and traveled another few hundred yards after impact. The wings of a plane are basically thin aluminum. When they hit solid stone going at 600-700 feet per second, not much of them survives as recognizeable wreckage. Pulverized would be an apt description. The fuselage, on the other hand, is built like a brick crapper and would normally make a hole 12' or so around and penetrate several levels into a buidling. As far as I've seen, there was only one video of the plane hitting the north WTC, and it was taken from north of the building. It only shows the plane going in. It doesn't show what came out of the other side. However, when you look at the shots taken of the plane hitting the south tower, you can see all kinds of bits and pieces of the plane coming out seconds later. Including one of the two engines. I've been told the #1 engine landed somewhere around Chambers St., many blocks to the north.

First cousin,retired Marine pilot.
First civilian job was part of a flight crew for American Airlines Boston to LA.
I found out about 6:00PM (after many phone calls) on Sept 11th that his flight landed safely in LA on Sept 10th.
Same flight. Same route. Same airline. 24 hours off.
Old, close friend of mine had to seek new employment when most of her company ceased to exist on Sept 11.

As grave as it might seem, and as embarassing, I would not rule out the possibility of an "inside job" at this point in time. I don't know what happened on Sept 11, other than the fact that many innocent people died. I'm not belittling the losses this country suffered by any means. I don't deny the Holocaust, but Hitler was the "president" of Germany. Show me the proof. Why does our Government not make public all the Information? Certain people had alot to gain. I truly hope that it was Osama, but I will not rule out other suspects untill the truth is proven. The language is really not called for.

Just keep talking, you have no idea how dumb you sound. But keep talking, your comments ammuse me. I love hearing how the extreme left thinks so keep talking! Your really embarasing yourself but if thats ok with you then keep yapping away dude....if you want to believe that W murdered 3000 americans its your right i guess. But just know that what you say stirrs up alot of emotion and rage in people, especially blaming W for killing 3000 Americans. Shameful just shameful :doh:

Skippy, it's someone's opinion...to be honest there are plenty of wierd things about 9/11 that could easily lead someone to see a conspiracy if they have a distrust of government to begin with.

But personally I don't think the Bush Administration has the skill to pull off a job like that without screwing it up!

While I don't believe 9/11 was a neocon plot to justify militarized global transformation, I wouldn't put it past some of them. Just like the radicals we're fighting against they see themselves as agents in a prophecy.

What really scares me is that the fundamentalists on both sides are so consumed with a battle royal for all the marbles they just might make it happen when it doesn't have to be.

I really dont care if they knew about 9/11 or not.. its old news. the reality NOW is that the current administration is doing a HORRIBLE job.

Ah, yes, the old "east wind, rain" smoking gun that FDR knew about Pearl Harbor.

It doesn't fly because it rests on faulty assumptions. One, that FDR knew more about how the war would play out than his top admirals, and knew that aircraft carriers would be the strategic key to victory, and not battleships. That's why he ordered the carriers to sea but kept the battlewagons in port as sacrificial lambs, according to the conspiracy theorists. Except that King, and even Yamamoto who ordered the attack, still believed in the supremacy of the battleship.

Two, that he knew that Pearl was THE objective of the attack, and that the japanese had the ability to pull it off. They knew the Japanese were up to something, but went with the natural assumption that it would come in the Philippines.

Most importantly, what FDR really wanted was an excuse to get into it with Germany in Europe. Even in the days following Pearl, there was very little support for getting into it with the Nazis in the US. Then, Hitler did the unthinkable by actually honoring a treaty, and declaring war on us after we declared war on Japan. You'd have to believe that FDR knew ahead of time that Hitler was going to honor the only treaty he ever did--against the advice of most of his top commanders, by the way.

That conspiracy theory is whacked. :fishslap:
If the conservatives were behind 9/11 why didn't they crash the planes in the co-ops on the Upper West Side? That's where all the big donor libs come from.:gf:

If they had taken out the 92nd St YMCA, they could have wiped out most of the next generation of the liberal elite in the pre-school. Or gone up to mid-town and taken out the NYT offices. If I remember it was a Tuesday, they could have gotten Maureen Dowd, easy.:kewl:

I mean really, crashing through the offices of Merrill Lynch and Cantor Fitzgerald? Hello? They were bond traders. They were up there in the that top 5% of income and actually benefiting from the policies of the administration. You think they'd choose to wipe out card-carrying members of their base for cripes sake! ;)

wow...sorry to create such a heated debate over this. I was merely trying to share something that I thought was interesting and mind numbing. I have lost a friend (almost 4 but the other 3 decided to stay out late and got to work late) along with a job because of the whole debacle. I'm not trying to pursuade anyone nor am I anti-government, I just thought the story contained some interesting facts. damn....when's the fish arriving???:smash:

With all the REAL issues in the world to concern oneself with this one is just a waste of time.
