You're wrong, and I'm correcting you. I know that you, like President Bush, prefer to base decisions on seat-of-your-pants emotions rather than facts, and that's cool, but a Boeing jetliner can carry well over 20000 gallons of fuel, and the 9/11 planes were fully fueled that morning for what had been planned as cross-country flights. 20000>400. And the towers were built, as you said, to withstand the impact of a jetliner lost in the fog trying to land at JFK. What they were not built to withstand was a fully-fueled jetliner going at full-speed into them. Two totally different scenarios.
Thats a fairly good attempt at reading what i said Will, but again im gonna have to ask u not to edit my original post to suit wotever agenda or mind set ur tryin to cling onto. I said that the boeing model that the planes were designed to withstand held something like 400 gallons less than the 707, 20000-24000,and sure i like emotion, and i like to THINK about life because i am alive, and im free in my mind and am not clinging to any notion of superiority over any other nation or creed, or pretending that i know how strangers to me base they're decisions, only a burning anger ( thats an emotion, 1 up for you) against the complacency and fear of some and the nepotism and sheer corruptness of others which causes a loss of freedom to express and to truly master life for the majority
Nearly every large building has a redundant design that allows for loss of one primary structural member, such as a column. However, when multiple members fail, the shifting loads eventually overstress the adjacent members and the collapse occurs like a row of dominoes falling DOWN.
I dont know your personal skills or qualifications, background, situation, but im no scientist and i can see that however many many tonnes of steel and concrete untouched structurally, would surely not just atomise in a millisecond to allow a considerable amount lighter mass of materials to pass thru unhindered and fall at free fall speed in a straight line downwards. If the floors above those damaged by the plane strikes had fallen down and away from the rest of the structure i could logically accept the situation. And another point i would like to make, and possibly the most important for my thinking, is that in a country so ready and set up for courtroom litigation, how are these numerous people allowed to spread such viscious aspertions on the character of the administration without being sued to death. I think possibly because they really do not want to have to prove them wrong in a court of law.
Well actually it was the 707 that the twin towers were built to withstand an impact from, since that was the big jetliner of the day when they were designed. The exact fuel capacity varies with configuration, but the 707 (as well as the 767 and 757 that hit the towers on 9/11) all carry over 20000 gallons of fuel. So a 400-gallon difference, if that's even a real number you're citing, doesn't really mean much. Beyond that, I'm finding it difficult to interpret the rest of your post, so I'll have to get back to you.
Then stop trying to act as if you have a basis on which to judge scientific data. I'm not saying you're stupid or anything, but if you're not trained to interpret these things, then it doesn't matter jack shit what you can "logically accept" or not. What matters is what seems logical to people who are educated in these areas, and the vast vast majority of those voices support the "official story."

It may be so that the vast majority of voices educated in this area are supporting this, but if that is true, then i think they are saying it very quietly.

To repeat another point that is a big one to me, if there are so many experts that back the official line, then your telling me that the explanation for the confusion, is that the governing body of the "free" world are so incompetent that they cannot get this out in a document packed with solid facts?? i refuse to be taken in by that Columbo style bollocks.

you know how the bin ladens and the bush's are both part of the Carlyle group, this group of investors that profit from war? And you know how the US is responsible for the creation of the radical islamist institutions in Afghanistan that later became Al-Quaeda?
Well, I wouldn't put it past these people to pull off something like 9/11. The have all gained from the tragedy.

tell me if you believe this...
George Bush wakes up one day and decides he needed to make more money. He comes up with a plan to have 4 planes crash into some of America's greatest icons. or asks someone to come up with a plan for him, like rumsfield or wolfowitz. they sit at starbucks and come up with this plan and put it into effect.
Bush and others know that this will give them the authority to go to war thus allowing they to "profit" from it.
thats what your saying right? do you believe that Bush did that?

I see what you are trying to say and you simply dont get it. Americans arent coming up with these conspiracy theories because they think "only america could orchestrate an attack". they have these crazy theories because they believe america's leaders are evil enough to attack their own country for their personal gain.

Actually, I read an interesting article that suggests that the conspiracy theories are a long-standing tradition in American politics. We're pretty paranoid, but it's unusual for the theories to be coming from the left. In recent past, the conspiracy theories involved fears of Bolsheviks and communism, going all the way back to the Res Scare at the turn of the 20th century and McCarthyism.
So you could say that paranoia was part of our political tradition. Yay for us!! Paranoid. Political. And Proud of It!!
And CarlosD, I understand that we look foolish to you. But the country that you live in knows something about the consequences of terrorism. The IRA directed terrorism at the British for years, and it's not like it made the British any more compliant or tender-hearted in their occupation of Northern Ireland. In fact, as I understand it, the British developed some of the torture tactics that we are using now on the prisoners at Gitmo. Rather than mocking the fear that Americans feel, you might want to explain how people have learned to live with the threat of terrorism.

there is a maxim, "consent of the governed" its called. You can't simply start a war, you need public support, which is easy enough once you've just been attacked.
But there was much more to the 9/11 attacks than the carte blanch it gave the US gov't in terms of foreign policy. At home they've been able to create entire branches of gov't with the sole purpose of spying on americans. It was a serious blow in the class war, something those in power are always involved in, whether the majority realize its being waged or not.
Those in power have bypassed the constitution, courts, law, can basically do as they please...though recent polls are suggesting the people are just about fed up with the current status quo.

I was confused for a long long time, it seemed highly unlikely that the attacks occured as officially reported. Even taking into account the naivety of believing that politicians would not kill they're own people for the sake of an agenda, i could not work out y they would do it on such a level.
Then i was thinking one day about the long history of my own country and to be honest it all became clear.
As far as im concerned its all very simple, and people look for complication and theories where for me there is only one factor. History has always been the rich against the poor, and there are more poor people. The age old technique for quelling the masses and maintaining the status quo? simply to divide and conquer.
This is not about making more money or spying, its simply about ensuring that the average person fears his/her neighbour enough so as never to come together to take the power back and change the world.
That is, for me, where the Bush-Bin Laden brotherhood is important and the reason for the whole thing. Simple, to my mind anyway. Re-read ur history.
Untill either:
1. people stop looking for soundbites and they're 5 minutes of fame (yes America that means you!!), stop trying to prove they are intelligent by recounting things they have been told in newspapers and on the t.v and claiming it for themselves, untill we all lose the ego and just think and feel, see with our eyes not our ears and our self importance, and just act on what we all clearly see in our hearts and minds behind the bullshit.
Or
2. humans just simply evolve to a level where greed and power are seen as silly neanderthal tendencies.
facts? dude wake up. el queda was beihnd these attacks. not the US government.
And who told you they were behind this? Your goverment! Of course our government wouldn't come out and say "Hey there! We're the ones who did this! But we have a reason why!" Haven't you learned by now that you can not believe everything your government says? I was completely against the idea that our country could be involved with this. It was impossible in my mind that people could be so evil, but once again I've seen too many things that raise questions in my mind. It's a theory as long as there is no evidence. Once the evidence keeps building up, it becomes a fact. If you did not live in N.Y. at the time you learned about this through the media. Things are so easily manipulated this way. If you were in N.Y. then you were in such a state of shock that you couldn't possibly see things clearly, if you could even see at all through the debri. Things were hidden from us on about this. That is a fact. Whether you believe that our government was involved or not, things were still kept from us. The way this has all played out just doesn't make sense. Too much evidence has been presented that has to make you ask what really happened here. If you don't at least question one thing about all of this then you have been drinking too much republican kool-aid.

a timeline,... the U.S. releases a tape, but some say it was a fraud. we all know about the video where bin laden was wearing a gold ring, writing with the wrong hand, and had gained a lot of weight. obviously, he doesn't look anything like the other bin laden. which is fake? i don't know. there are too many coincidences and holes in the official story and too many people claiming otherwise. imo, fabricated evidence for a bullshit agenda

The story of al qaeda goes waaay back with the US gov.
Maybe things got outta hand with Bush. Maybe it was just bad timing and happened during his presidency.

well according to your comment, it certainly looks like you are conveying that.
bush was part of the carlyle group, which profits from war. bushs are part of this group, they wanted profit, so they decided to plan 9/11.

If u'd read my original post u would know that ur attacking me on a completely inaccurate level, maybe u've read the post the same way u read politics, by simply taking the last thing said as gospel.

I was confused for a long long time, it seemed highly unlikely that the attacks occured as officially reported. Even taking into account the naivety of believing that politicians would not kill they're own people for the sake of an agenda, i could not work out y they would do it on such a level.
Then i was thinking one day about the long history of my own country and to be honest it all became clear.
As far as im concerned its all very simple, and people look for complication and theories where for me there is only one factor. History has always been the rich against the poor, and there are more poor people. The age old technique for quelling the masses and maintaining the status quo? simply to divide and conquer.
This is not about making more money or spying, its simply about ensuring that the average person fears his/her neighbour enough so as never to come together to take the power back and change the world.
That is, for me, where the Bush-Bin Laden brotherhood is important and the reason for the whole thing. Simple, to my mind anyway. Re-read ur history.
Untill either:
1. people stop looking for soundbites and they're 5 minutes of fame (yes America that means you!!), stop trying to prove they are intelligent by recounting things they have been told in newspapers and on the t.v and claiming it for themselves, untill we all lose the ego and just think and feel, see with our eyes not our ears and our self importance, and just act on what we all clearly see in our hearts and minds behind the bullshit.
Or
2. humans just simply evolve to a level where greed and power are seen as silly neanderthal tendencies.
Nothing will change.

And who told you they were behind this? Your goverment! Of course our government wouldn't come out and say "Hey there! We're the ones who did this! But we have a reason why!" Haven't you learned by now that you can not believe everything your government says? I was completely against the idea that our country could be involved with this. It was impossible in my mind that people could be so evil, but once again I've seen too many things that raise questions in my mind. It's a theory as long as there is no evidence. Once the evidence keeps building up, it becomes a fact. If you did not live in N.Y. at the time you learned about this through the media. Things are so easily manipulated this way. If you were in N.Y. then you were in such a state of shock that you couldn't possibly see things clearly, if you could even see at all through the debri. Things were hidden from us on about this. That is a fact. Whether you believe that our government was involved or not, things were still kept from us. The way this has all played out just doesn't make sense. Too much evidence has been presented that has to make you ask what really happened here. If you don't at least question one thing about all of this then you have been drinking too much republican kool-aid.

what do you believe happened? do you, manic mind, believe george bush and other top american officals sat in a room and came up with the plan to attack america? and successfully carried it out, and kept it a secret.
Thay dont seem to be doing too well at keeping it a secret, if u have your eyes open. But the main thing is they DONT HAVE to keep it a secret, they just need not say anything.
No-one has yet given me a good reason why there is no litigation from people whos names are being dragged thru the mud?? in America??!?! the litigation capital of the World.

And also, are you, jlew24asu, familiar with the term "Naive"? or "corruption"? or "precedent" or "collateral damage" or "the big picture"?
Or is it fact, up in your storage area, that once u are elected a world leader, u take ur place on the big table alongside Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny?
vision oOnly Greyyy
yes I am very familiar with those terms. I have seen no proof that america was involved with the planning and carrying out of 9/11.
my eyes are wide open. so you think the US government sues people who say things againt them? no wonder you arent american

'suspicion about the authenticity of the tapes'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/3618762.stm
a timeline,... the U.S. releases a tape, but some say it was a fraud. we all know about the video where bin laden was wearing a gold ring, writing with the wrong hand, and had gained a lot of weight. obviously, he doesn't look anything like the other bin laden. which is fake? i don't know. there are too many coincidences and holes in the official story and too many people claiming otherwise. imo, fabricated evidence for a bullshit agenda

'bush admits saddam not linked to 9/11'
about a 1/4 of the way through the video,...
does anyone remember when bush claimed saddam was tied to 9/11 to go to war with iraq?

I'm not American because i wasnt born in America, and i dont live there, not because of anything i think, i think, but maybe yours is a good argument, i think its a little meaningless, even braindead.
Its not about sueing people who say things about them, its about defending urself against what should be horrifying accusations, by blowing them out the water with hard fact, which surely shouldnt be hard to find??
vision oOnly Greyyy
this response is somewhat braindead. I wasnt even talking to you.
So why quote me in the response? WOW!! are u related to George Bush?? u seem to have the same talents for rewriting history with crazy words, haha! im afraid i can no longer debate with you jlew, we're on different planets, but i do thank you greatly! Because u have begun to enlighten me as to how america can be both an amazing and interesting place, and also so fucking stupid!!
