9/11

I'm not entirely convinced that a plane flying into a reactor would cause a meltdown. Seems like a flawed premise to me.

Many are designed to withstand missile attacks.

:werd: A flawed premise in a website full of them.

My friend and I commiserated about how both our age 60+ dads have started to fall into conspiracy mode. We tried to figure out what it is about old men that causes it to happen.

My mother is in her mid-60's and is getting to this point too. She is a Fox News conspiracy theorist though.

BKF wants his brand of politics to be the good, and his political enemies to be nothing but pure evil. So that's why he's talked himself into being a 9/11 truther.

Old people placing this much importance on their political and religious beliefs is one of the sadder side effects of our ever expanding life expectancy.

This is what happens when your only contact with the outside world is through partisan TV and Internet.

BKF clearly has no close friends or family (or any who care to visit him) so his only outlet is this here Internet.
 
This has to be a troll job...has to be. I keep looking for the extra "o".

Well, there is one undeniable fact that everyone must reconcile when thinking about 9/11....and it is such an important fact that it cannot just be pushed under the rug:

Without 9/11 the Iraq War would never have happened.

Even though history has proven that there was no real connection between 9/11 & Iraq, the emotional scars from 9/11 directly created the situation whereby the Neo Cons could push the American people into putting pressure on their congressmen to support a 170,000-troop invasion & occupation in Iraq. They successfully created an atmosphere where it became "unpatriotic" to oppose the war in Iraq. And this could never have happened without 9/11.

That is an entirely different argument and actually makes logical sense.


The tin foil hat nonsense that you linked in the OP does not.

Connect the dots.....or, more accurately, follow the money. Who was desperate to start a war in Iraq? Who benefitted politically from a war in Iraq? Who benefitted financially from a war in Iraq? Well, they needed something like 9/11 in order to sell that war, because no matter what anyone may think about anything else, everyone should at least agree that absent 9/11 there was no way to get the American people to support or allow that war in Iraq.

And I'm not talking about one or two people here. This isn't just a Bush/Cheney thing. As I said, I don't pretend to know what happened....but I'm firmly convinced that if the American people ever learned the truth about 9/11 it would be devastating to the entire national psyche.

There is a huge difference between taking political advantage of a horrible tragedy and planning a horrible tragedy in order to set up a political advantage.


Come on. Get serious.

I'm not saying that. All I am saying is that there are a lot of disturbing things about the circumstances surrounding 9/11 and that I do not take at face value everything we have been told about what happened that day.

Well, you seem to be hinting it with comments like that one and this one.


Aside from that, we are in agreement that the 9/11 Commission Report should be made public. The American People deserve to know what happened on that horrific day.
