9/11

Postby SF Penguins » Wed Jan 06, 2010 7:02 pm

I'm not trying to say that 9/11 didn't happen but is it possible that it was our own Goverment that was behind 9/11.

There is absolutely no evidence to suggest the government played a direct role in 9/11 attacks.

What is uncertain is whether the Bush Administration willfully or negligently ignored the warnings in August.

And why is that no one cares that there is evidence out there that supports the idea of the United States Goverment being behind 9/11.

Let me reiterate what others have said; 9/11 was nine years ago. The government was not involved, they arrested the people responsible and we've started two wars over it. Please, let it go.

The only theory I'd accept is that after the '93 bombings, realising that a collapse of the towers could have greater consequences than just the towers themselves, as in falling sideways, that they placed controlled explosions in event of serious likelihood of collapse, to ensure damage was minimised to the towers only.

Alas, this annoys conspiracy theorists because they want to believe the government works for evil MUAH-HA-HA purposes only and this both accepts that the planes were nothing to do with the government, nor was the event of the collapse itself, but purely a measure to protect citizens.

It hurts them, so while I don't believe it, whenever I find myself in one of these useless conversations I bring it up because it's a bit more logical than anything they care to propose.

Its possible I suppose...in fact, even officially, it was from a certain point of view, having built and Trained Al Qaeda to fight the Soviets...

However, the active planning, organization, and participation required I find to be a bit beyond the capabilities of my government Im afraid...just throwing money and material at them like idiots was the extent of their involvement, which has been rather par for the course for Washington post-WWII...

How did the two towers collapse, why is there no real video footage of the Pentagon attack that actually shows the plane hitting the building.

Because news outlets don't have their cameras pointing at government buildings 24/7? If anything, it's evidence SUPPORTING the fact that they were hit by terrorists.

The towers collapsed because their support structures were compromised due to the combination of fire damage and the impact of the planes.

^ This. While I'm more than willing to think Bush and co loved the opportunities it gave them as an after effect I don't think it's credible that they would have been able to or inclined to carry out 9/11. Truthers are tinfoil hat troopers.

It didn't happen, you know what hapopend on 9/11/01? 3,000 people were killed, I really don't see why someone would think that the government would do this, becuase it has caused more problems than good, I don't care what a few think they saw, 3,000 died, al Queda took responsiblity, and did it, if the gov. did it, than why did al queda say they did it? Why would the U.S. have to gain from Afghenistan? The conspiracy theorists are just looking for a new frontier.
