A more appropriate response would be, "I wouldn't go by coincidences, there are a lot of coincidences in the world."

My name isn't English sounding either. In fact, I would bet that the vast majority of Americans do not have English sounding last names. At least where I live. Everyone is Polish, Irish, Italian, or German. I don't know a single person of English ancestry. Never met one.

[quote]September 11, 2001 (W): Five Israelis are arrested for "puzzling behavior" related to the WTC attacks. They are arrested around 4:30 P.M. after having filmed the burning WTC from the roof of their company's building near Liberty State Park, then shouting in what was interpreted as cries of joy and mockery. They were spotted by a neighbor who called the police and the FBI. The police tracked them down in a van with the words "Urban Moving Systems" written on the side. [ Bergen Record, 9/12/01, Ha'aretz, 9/17/01] One man was found with $4,700 in cash hidden in his sock, another had two passports on him, and a box cutter was found in the van. [ ABC News, 6/21/02] Investigators say that "There are maps of the city in the car with certain places highlighted... It looked like they're hooked in with this. It looked like they knew what was going to happen." [ Bergen Record, 9/12/01] One of these Israelis later says, "Our purpose was to document the event." [ ABC News, 6/21/02] The FBI later concludes at least two are Mossad agents and that all were on a Mossad surveillance mission. The FBI interrogates them for weeks. [ Forward, 3/15/02] They are held on immigration violation charges and released 71 days later. [ ABC News, 6/21/02] Their names are later identified as Sivan and Paul Kurzberg, Oded Ellner, Omer Marmari and Yaron Shmuel. [ Forward, 3/15/02] [/quote]

I think Warren Buffet and Salman Rushdie conspired together to take down the WTC. Their meetings were cancelled and moved to different buildings. How is this a coincidence? What don't you people see? Buffet had all the money in the world to spend on this operation. And Rushdie is an Indian who is known to have Indian/Middle Eastern connections. Coincidence?

I just searched through your posts, this is the first time you've mentioned him, unless it was in your bullshit video which as I said before: has no audio.
As for explanation: there are anti-Americans of every race, from every country. Also could'ave been undercover agents, Israel and groups like Al Qaeda are pretty at-odds with each other so it would make sense they'd try to get men on the inside.

It's no coincidence. Buffet and Rushdie had everything planned from the start.
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;36583579]I'd say the one lacking a clear understanding of logic is you.

The evidence I speak of is hypothetical. I have already stated that I think a plane did hit the Pentagon.

[QUOTE=SGTSpartans;36586060]Then all those 9/11 families whose relatives were on the plane are just faking that their relatives are dead. That's the biggest problem with that.
Also I read the rest of your post, just wanted to respond to that bit.[/QUOTE]
Why do you assume that keeping the passengers alive would be part of hiding the plane? It would be easier to kill them. Don't ask why, I'm not saying that happened, I'm just saying it's plausible.

I'll do it for him:
After the first gulf war, the UN made Iraq agree to [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_687"]Resolution 687[/URL]. Not only did it say that he can't have WMDs, but it also said he can't have missles with a range > 150km.
Which he did.
So yeah.

We invaded Iraq because we didn't get rid of Saddam Hussein when we won the Persian Gulf War a few years earlier. The claim that Saddam had WMDs was bunk, but isn't it better for everyone involved that the guy isn't kicking anymore?
[QUOTE=Fenderson;36650423]And the world bank LOVES rebuilding shit after countries get bombed to smithereens.[/QUOTE]
The US Army and by extent the US Government shelled out the money to rebuild Iraq. The World Bank is a financial institution that loans money to developing countries independently of the US Government.
How about posting some legitimate evidence or a reliable news source that can justify all the bullshit you've been posting, eh? Seriously, I want to take the time and listen to what you have to say, but you're making it very hard to get your point across.
At first I didnt want to get involved in what is no longer a debate but an argument, but after reading all 9 pages I think I'm ready to respond to my best ability.
My opinion before reading this thread was actually that the government secretly planned and executed the 9/11 attacks and my evidence was the controlled demolition theory, the missile in the Pentagon, the training of the terrorists in America, as well as the Bush family ties to Bin Laden, etc. After reading such a chaotic thread where neither side is treated with respect, I think its best that we find the most reasonable theory from the facts and information given in this thread. For the person who said there is nothing wrong with cursing, it should be known that cursing is not the best way to handle a conversation. I curse a lot in my daily life, but I try to keep it to a minimum especially when trying to make a point with somebody. Besides the rudeness of both sides in this thread, I'll continue with my reasoning.
While it may be ridiculous to blame the entirety of the attacks solely on the government, I think it is much less insane to say that the government handled an unexpected event badly. We fear-mongered to modify policies, invaded the Middle East illegally, and created the longest war in American history. They would eventually use the attacks to beef the TSA, pass the Patriot Act, and I think most recently the NDAA. Fox News will use the attack to cement their opinion in any conversation, report, or interview. You don't like the war? You must love 9/11 then you left-wing communist.
For the theory that a missile struck the Pentagon, I now understand that the debris was legitimate and the camera was simply a bad camera. I think this is the same case with the plane that crashed en route to the White House.
Overall, the attacks were probably genuine but the politics were politics. We invaded the Middle East shortly after, and I do think that this is also a means of making a profit from what has been a religious conflict for hundreds if not thousands of years. The Middle East is a violent, turbulent, and theocratic place which makes it the perfect target for inciting revolution. I read on NPR recently that we are selling weapons to the Syrian rebel forces, and examples like that are what we could be making our money from.
Since it is 5 am I'll try to wrap my post up with as much logical fidelity as I can, because I'm getting a little loopy from sleep deprivation.
I used to think it was an inside job but now I don't because the evidence is clear. 9/11 was a genuine surprise attack that surprised us so much that we landed flat on our asses in blowback. Other than those two points, I think the rest is all up to more debate.
I think threads like these are awesome fun, especially when people get along.

Allowing the planes through our airspace and ignoring any threats was a massive mistake an I hope someone was fired for it. I wouldn't go so far as to say that we knew they were government operatives on a mission to spread fear. As for the theory that a missile struck the Pentagon, I now understand that the debris was legitimate and the camera was simply a bad camera. I think this is the same case with the plane that crashed en route to the White House.

Alright, first of all let me say I am damn impressed that you typed all of that on an ipad, and that a guy with a Ron Paul avatar managed to make a fairly sane post.
I do agree with you on the politics of the issue, but there is one point I'd like to point out: ignoring the threats was definitely a bad move, but (and I'm sorry if I'm just misinterpreting what you said here) the idea the planes were "allowed" to continue is an outright myth. As soon as the government became aware of what was happening fighter jets were scrambled to intercept the remaining hijacked planes, these fighters broke protocol and flew at supersonic speeds in an effort to halt the attack. There simply wasn't enough time to stop them once it began.
