proof? even this short vid with bush seeing the first tower getting hit is proof enough to ask futher questions.

And I'm sorry, but Bush saying that he saw footage of the first plane hitting the building would be pretty persuasive after I had either suffered a massive head trauma or taken part in a nice lobotomy. Taking quotes from someone who's very reputible for being a piss-poor public speaker and placing them in a context to suit a theory proves only how weak that theory is to begin with. It's this kind of asinine garbage which discredits any other theories on the same subject. Just freaking garbage...
Proof isn't a matter of persuasion, it's irrefutible evidence that something did or didn't happen. Like so much 9/11 "proof," this is even more crap. I honestly don't get how pepole's thoughts are influenced by it. I'm not going to say anyone is stupid here... But there's such a massive disconenct between what's trying to be proven and what's being presented that I'm honestly baffled what else would cause you to think any differently.
Sorry to triple, but in the spirit of all the logic being shared:
Conspiracy or not, it's all just entertainment for the onlookers, i personally hope we never find out exactly what happened, that would be boring for both parties concerened, aslong as there are unnaswered questions this subject will always be interesting, get the government to admit everything and there's no where else to go with this. The fact that there might be unanswered questions is the only reason this subject is still being talked about today.

"She had a fanny like a packet of cheddar and onion McCoys. 50p. High fat content. Stunk of coagulted cow-juice. Udder shudder. Chop an onion. Makes you cry. So did her snatch. Growled at me like a rapist's dog. My favourite crisps."
Not said but implied.. What you've said makes me see stupidity as an opinion, unless you're just being nice..
but lets just say it is Text book defined, I am stupid.. I can accept that.. I won't leave what I know with books and media though
I've always thought outside of the box.. theories or not you have to admit things are questionable about that day and placing yourself in a state of denial
because there is no proof is just not thinking.. I'd love to see some of the people who say it is impossible that it's a conspiracy to explain how it could be one
just for the fun of it.. I bet they could explain it better than the conpiracists themselves.
you want to know what your government is really doing...watch this.
Warning: Incoming wall of quotes and responses.
Meh @ that site. While there's some good investigation in some areas, it get's quite sloppy in others. WTC Bldg 7's explanation of the use of "Pull" in it's terminology was one I saw immediately. Demolition crews use the term "Pull." Firefighters, do not use "Pull" in that manner. If they were talking about Evacuation, they would've been quoted as saying "Pulling.**"
People aren't looking for someone to blame as much as they're trying to find out if our Gov't is getting out of control of the people to an extreme extent. It's already happened multiple times in our country's history. Civil War, Mexican American War, and Vietnam War to name a few.
Couple things here. In order to go to war, the country must be behind the Gov't. Vietnam and it's fallout is a perfect example of what happens when the US enters a war without Public Acceptance. The thing is, usually the general public buys the BS. Pearl Harbor was the excuse to get into WW2.. but the circumstances behind that are odd as well. And after Japan surrendered there was no reason for the US to get involved in the European campaign... so why did we?
And the word Hoax is very loaded. Obviously 9/11 wasn't a hoax. The buildings really fell. People really died. It's a terrible event. What we're discussing really.. is whether or not the official explanation of the even is what and how things really happened.
We don't really know anything except what's told to us by the Federal Gov't and what's reported. On top of that, the major news corporations are incredibly untrustworthy. Fox News ran and expose' on the new Mosques major contributor and Fear-linked his money back to "Al Queda sympathists." However the morons at Fox News didn't think anyone would figure out that the same man they were reporting on is the Second Largest Stockholder in Newscorp!
As far as our "enemies" using that knowledge against us.. it's not congruent to their thinking. They're all about Independence from Western culture. However, it's known that a lot of them have used Western Education (in many different forms) to further their own cause. They NEVER credit the "West" for that because it goes against the propaganda they're using on their citizens.
Actually.. we've been fighting in Afghanistan the entirety of the Iraq war. We're still there now. In fact, my Wife leaves for her deployment in Afghanistan in about two weeks. She's also done two previous tours in Iraq. War makes money. Lots of it. Much MUCH more than the taxes of those victims. Look at the bills that were passed during the Bush presidency that allowed him to borrow obscene amounts of money. That cash seeps all the way through the American economy. The War creates need for Soldiers. So people who may not have otherwise had work.. now can Sign up and recieve a job along with substantial bonuses for enlisting. They then spend that money on not just necessities but luxuries. I can't tell you how many times in the last 5 years that I've been in this military town.. that I've seen 19-21 year old kids get deployed and have so much cash they throw it on incredibly over-the-top Cars.. only to wreck them because they haven't driven in 15 months (or at all in some cases) just to turn around again and buy another one. That's just cars. Think electronics, furniture, EVERYTHING. That money FLOWS. And as Soon as we pulled out of Iraq and the demand for Soldiers was lowered.. those bonuses got cut SUPER low and with less bonuses and less deployments.. less people reinlist.. they go home and usually end up making less than they did in the Military. Their buying power drops again and businesses sell less etc..etc.. Our Gov't artificially injected our Economy with the Wars subsequent to 9/11.
As far as why we went into Iraq.. well everyone "knows" it was Oil.. but more importantly than that it was influence. We gained a foothold in a region whose culture is extremely different to our own and as such hasn't been able to be targeted by our businesses. But now there's McDonalds, Pizza Huts, etc.. in Iraq. Sure Islam forbids Pork... but so does Judaism and I know plenty of Muslims and Hebrews who eat bacon here in the States. Why? Because it's in your face everywhere you go. Ask a Vegetarian or a Vegan how hard it is for them to simply EAT in the US. It's incredibly difficult. So.. if we can get our business into the Middle East.. then there's an entire Culture that we can make money off of that has been previously untapped. What's the best way to get in? Out the current Rulers and try to install a sympathetic Gov't. This is why countries like Pakistan and Iran are pissed. They don't want our influence in their region because OUR Culture (as a country) would be like poison to their Culture. The US has been trying to get in there for years. Going all the way back to more secretive tactics when the US funded the Mujahideen in their fight against Soviets in the late 70's and early 80's. The tactic then was, help the region, earn their trust, use them to get whatever the hell we wanted. Again, a tactic the US has used MANY times in it's history.
Anyhow.. if anyone has actually read through all my crap I'll just say this. The US Gov't has made some very VERY shady decision in the entirety of it's existence. Hell even before it. All the way back to the real reasons behind the Revolution of the Colonies against Britain. Tons of this stuff gets twisted in the history books and some of it, swept under the rug completely. It definitely is NOT out of the question that the US Gov't would allow a tragedy to happen that would justify certain actions if they felt that substantial gains were possible. The question that fuels the conspiracy theorists is whether or not the country would be willing to commit a tragedy against it's own people for the same reasons.
It's a tough call. Especially when you consider that Gov't representatives from all sides are more willing to allow Teachers to be fired and have our Federal Employess get reduced or no pay rather than simply meet each other halfway on Topics such as the amount of taxes the "Upper Class" (250k and up per year) pay and Medicare/Medicaid policies. They'd rather see immediate suffering to people and positions that are VITAL to our ENTIRE Country rather than come to an agreement on issues that will affect a much smaller percentage of people sometime in the future. Doesn't that make you wonder whether it's the people or the ideals that they're devoted to?

Jest - I promise when I have some time, I'll read all that and try to formulate some proper dialouge. At the moment, I'm too pooped for someone else's smarts.
Antwan - Dude, I don't know you well enough to judge you beyond the fact it seems you do some decent fakeskating. What I would say to or about you is that our bullshit threshold is set at different levels. Where that footage got your attention and raised your curiosity, I instantly (through my own sort of logic, which we all have) tore it to bits and labeled it as bullshit. I'm sorry, but taking any GW quote in any context is about as credible as getting the same information from my girlfriend's three year old daughter. The man wasn't very bright, and time and time again was caught spewing sewage from the manhole under his nose. Sadly, in my opinion, about 90% of the conspiracy theories I've heard trip my bullshit alarm, as very few of them prove anything at all. It's not that I think that there's no chance there was something more up that we'll never know... But I have better things to burn calories over in my own life. What may or may not be based on speculation just isn't worth my time. Someone shows me hard, factual proof, and I'll listen.
But hey, I don't think the USA is going to exist in the next century due to the fact there's so much disconnect between the Govt. and the people, and the people themselves. Our government is more concerned with bickering over party-line bullshit to focus on the greater good of the people, and the people tend to be too self absorbed to do anything but bitch. As the left and right continue to seperate, and that bipartisanship continues through the government, we're just getting closer to another civil war.
