That's unfair of you. He was responding to someone who said "would you still love [bush]" if he was responsible. jt was just responding using their terms.Quote:

You are dismissing the possibility, even before reading the evidence.Quote:

You, my friend, are admittedly in the second category.
Did you know that the former German Minister of Defense has publicly stated that 9/11 was an inside job? Or that eminent writer Gore Vidal has also done so? Or that the US Pentagon "father" of the star wars defense shield also says it was an inside job? Reasonable prominent people are coming out to say what is screaming in our faces. Connect the dots.
I admit that when you start reading the mainstream media reports of what actually happened on 9/11, it is like taking the "red pill" in the matrix. Much of what you believed becomes obsolete. But these are facts. Expose yourself to them. If you want to say there was no complicity, at least put yourself in the first category of having examined the facts and come to a different conclusion, rather than the second, cognitive dissonance category of dismissing the possibility -- especially after Iraq and Katrina.
please lets stop the conspiracy theory nonsense
i am as non-supporter of our chimp-in-command and his money/blood sucking gang aka "current US-administration" as it can get. but those conspiracy theories are useless, boring and foolish. most ridiculous is the "no jew went to work" blah blah and
there might be a grain of truth in there in so far that you could say they "let it happen". but much more important are those facts that show bin laden and his comrades were fed by the us-taxpayers for years when they still were useful in the afghan-sovjet war. thats the real agenda running through us-foreign policy. boasting about democracy and using/working together with dictators and terrorists when it "serves" the us-interests. it makes me sick to see the us-governments (virtually ALL) in the last decades kissing the saudis asses, one of the most resentful dictatorships in the world today .
thats double-standard. period.
same with "oh lets bring democracy to iraq" great, but what about all those central asian states where the us built army bases after 9-11? non of them are democracies. if it was the real zeal of that administration to bring democracy to dictatorships and authoritarian regimes why not sdupport opposition groups in those countries too? na, a dictator / authoritarian leadeer serves us better there right now...
ps: i wonder how long will it take this time until one of our "newly found allies" turnes against the US (with of course weapons we provided them with) like it happened so many times in the past.
Perhaps the most perfect example of the psychologically debilitating condition of cognitive dissonance every displayed.
You are willing to admit (1) Bush might have let it happen and (2) the US intelligence establishment was the prime funder of bin Laden.Quote:

When you make a post like this, there really isn't much more for me to say. Please Google "cognitive dissonance." Because that's what you have.

If he disagreed with that term, he could have easily said so. By going along with it, it shows he agreed.
It is certainly interesting stuff, and I wouldn't put anything past the bunch of lying, greedy neocon chickenhawks in office....
But insomuch as the Warren Commission whitewashed the JFK conspiracy, so these events also will continue to be the subject of speculation for many years...
PS...if you're into exploring the JFK assasination, check out James Ellroy's historical fiction series that begins with American Tabloid. He also authored LA Confidential and The Black Dahlia, in addition to many other great novels...
If you love him so much, the why don't you marry him?Quote:

I just nailed you.
I think the most telling evidense from the JFK fiasco was the fact that even a riflery pro couldnt aim and fire that weapon 3 times and hit a small target in a car from that distance......One shot..difficult but not for a pro....
3 shots...impossible.
And dude wasnt a ranked rifleman.
And if something huge like that can be covered up, so can other situations....
I'm afraid you're wrong. This has been tested multiple times, by people not even trained by the military.Quote:

I don't consider things to be facts just because someone printed them. I guess, if someone is printing what you want to hearQuote:
