New Al Qaeda Web Ad Threatens ‘Big Surprise’
A new al Qaeda propaganda ad, headlined "Wait for the Big Surprise" and featuring a digitally altered photograph of President George Bush and Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf standing in front of a burning White House, was posted on the Internet today. The brief clip from al Qaeda’s "as Sahab" propaganda arm juxtaposes the doctored photo of Bush and Musharraf along with previously seen images of al Qaeda’s top leadership — Osama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahri and Adam Gadahn — as well as a photo of an SUV in a motorcade. There is no additional information provided in the ad, and it closes with the words, "Soon — God willing," written across the screen and repeated several times. See the Al Qaeda Web Ad Captured by ABC News Following the recent failed London-Glasgow terror plot, U.S. intelligence officials have been paying closer attention to the now frequent propaganda releases from as Sahab, studying the videos for hidden clues or signals. The full video is expected to be released on the Web in the next 24 to 48 hours. Do you have a tip for Brian Ross and the Investigative Team?

Maybe they think we will do that to ourselves. We are well on our way, OBL said Jr would chase the “ghost of terrorism and die the death of a thousand cuts.” And there goes Dubya, chasing like a dog chasing his tail.
BTW, OBL is dead, funny how ABC keeps the myth going, but no surprise considering how they lied about pre-war intel for Bush…too late for them to bail out now.

More garbage from the terrorists, aided and abetted by he liberal media. Fact is we are MUCH safer in America now than before 9/11 cuz of the wise leadership of President Bush. Terrorists are too busy dying in Iraq to bother us here. Someday after Bush leaves office America will wake up to what a great leader he was and how he kept America safe. But for now we got to listen to videos put out by the liberal Bush-haters.

Oh yes, a band of terrorists holed up in the Pakistani mountains have the capability to plan yet another mind-blowing attack, make a video to announce such and place it upon the internet, and evade capture by thousands of troops searching the mountains.. completely plausible. Wake Up To the Truth America! The next “terrorist” attack will be another inside job like the first one..

If we had kept on track in Afghanistan and captured these idiots, we would not be worrying about another attack.

The terrorists understand why Bush did what he did. Perhaps, however, we could simply apologize for Bill Clinton bo,bing Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Sudan just to get Monica off of the cable news channels. Would that help?

Even if OBL exists at all, if something “big” happens, it will just be another false flag operation like 9/11.
Forget about the POTUS ’08 campaign. ’08 will be marked by martial law and suspended elections following simultaneous “big surprises” in three or more locations. And our own government’s fingerprints will be all over it, just like 9/11.

There’s NO evidence OBL is dead. We are hardly any safer than we were on 9/10/01. Sept. 11 was NOT “an inside job” and only deluded conspiracy losers think so.

re: Bruno
how do you know “If we had kept on track in Afghanistan and captured these idiots, we would not be worrying about another attack.”?
to this I say you are sadly misguided. Did we capture Hitler? Have we left Korea? Have we left Germany? NO… this country needs to have patience with this new kind of war we are fighting. We are not fighting a nation state we are fighting an ideology. imagine fighting gangs in an area the size of Texas. You can’t tell how the enemy is. The stupid public opinion prevents the troops from doing their job.. sometimes i wish the media would stay out of the war and let the US do what they need to do
Posted by: Jereme | August 1, 2007, 8:43 pm 8:43 pm
Was this release by Pelosi, Reid and Clinton? It hard to tell the difference between al Qaeda and democratic talking points. Well we all know the three have been hoping for defeat in Iraq, and since they can’t have that they are hoping for an attack on our country. It must be hard for the donkey party, the USA is still prevailing, despite all their attempts to bring us down.

How do you fight a war on terror when you leave your back door wide open at the border? I just don’t get it.
It seems to me that a smart idea would be to sick some bounty hunters on these idiots like Ron Paul wants to do. Presidential candidate Ron Paul is introducing a bill that would mark OBL and his buddies with letters of marque and reprisal.

There sure are a lot of lunatics posting comments here. You’ve got your 9/11 truthers who ignore facts in the name of “Truth,” several Bush-haters so infested by BDS they’ll oppose anything he proposes and consider it “evil” no matter what it is, a Bush-fan who doesn’t see that Pres. Bush isn’t perfect (not as common as the liberals think they are – most conservatives aren’t like this), and a moron crying about a poor economy that is in fact doing extremely well despite the lies and spin the media likes to give (sure, a housing bubble burst is possible, but the economy is by no means doing poorly!).

Fascinating to see a charter member of the LAMBs (Lunatic-left And Mega-moonbat Brigade) assuring us 9/11 was an inside job – and that the next one will be too.

question, liberty boy…you do know there are still tens of thousands of U.S. troops still in Afghanistan and have been since the original invasion, right? maybe you favor Barack Hussein’s unilateral non-U.N. approved option of invading Pakistan, which by the way is a nuclear armed muslim country. would that get us more on track?

So they can say it and it’s right on but if the horrible liberal media says it they’ve evil? All very interesting. So what you’re REALLY saying is you believe everything wrong in the country is because of the press and liberals? That way you won’t find fault with anything they do. That is how they want you to view it ya know.

For all those dullards who think 911 was an inside job I bet you also believed the following:

Why don’t we leave the middle east, pop some popcorn and watch a movie like the liberals want us to do. If anyone doesn’t like it in the US, they can move to Iraq, Pakistan, or Iran since the terrorists are not in Iraq, therefore Iran is not helping the terrorists in Iraq and OBL is dead. Then we all can be happy.

I think we are looking at the wrong angle with this article. As Americans we should be proud that Adam Gadahn has risen in the ranks of Al Qaeda so quickly. He is one of their #1 faces and seems to be #3 in the entire organization. It is a breakthrough for an American to reach that level within an organization not known for being kind to Westerners. Congratulations is due Mr. Gadahn.

The threat from terrorism in the 21st Centuary is the reason why we have to win in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Democratic Party acts as if we are still in the pre 9/11 era, it is a war the West can not afford to lose. It is good that the USA has a President that will fight the good fight.

I am reminded of the Iraqi officer that insisted that no Americans were invading Iraq even as it was happening all around him. These people are all talk for the most part. A group of cowards that kidnap innocents to hold for ransom and send their weaker minded counterparts to commit suicide while they hide in the mountains like cowering dogs. How much do we tolerate before we take DECISIVE ACTION against these criminals. Is the entire world to be kept on pins and needles by a relatively small group hiding behind their religion and our love of oil? When will enough be enough? Will America and Europe stand together and give the middle eastern governments a choice of peace or their destruction? Those middle eastern governments and their leaders should be held accountable for what their people do. Why should America and her allies have to go to other countries to police their backward populations. We should not be waging war against the terrorist. We should wage all out war against the governments that sponsor them and provide them safe haven.

What a bunch of dorks here… saying 9/11 was an “inside job”. What about the USS Cole attack or the first Twin Towers attack? You spineless people derive your beliefs from your fears of actually having to serve your country, or to have your children do so. But you’ll take your freedom, thank you very much, as long as it doesn’t cost you anything. This is an example of our country providing such good protections, that so many of you can not perceive any threat to our way of life.

Isn’t it amazing how the same people who think Bush is a Blathering idiot also think that he is capable of pulling off the biggest conspiracy the world has ever seen. He somehow made 4 airliners and their passengers disappear, fly 2 other planes into buildings, hit the Pentagon with a missile, bamboozle the intelligence agencies of most of the western democracies, and invade 2 peace loving soveriegn nations who wished us no harm. All the while keeping anyone who was involved in this massive conspiracy quiet. They couldn’t even make the Jessica Lynch and Pat Tillman stories stick but you morons think they are capable of pulling all of this off.

Reading these comments is an incredible disappointment. Some commentary is so one sided that one has to believe that these authors who take an extreme position on either side only seek information that supports their worldview. Bush is a flawed president for sure, but the Islamists are bent on our destruction. Even if it is unlikely they can achieve that, they can cause extraordinary pain and sufering the likes of which are soft society has never seen. That is even if they are holed up in Iraq, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Paksitan,Afghanistan, Chechyna, London or Detroit. Whatever position you take on the issue, do yourself and all of us a favor and start being informed with an open mind on both side’s positions. Stop the bull. Bush didn’t lie as every intelligence operation in the world believed Saddam had WMD. The question was how imminent was the threat. Al Qaeda had a working relationship with Saddam although the primary intel says it was only a midlevel arrangment. Bush has certainly seen boogeymen where they weren’t and pushed the security and civil liberties envelope to putting holes in parts of it. It’s the oversimplification of the idealogues and simpleminded that will ultimately cost the US and the world the most

Posted by: Kevin | August 1, 2007, 9:35 pm 9:35 pm
Those who say 9/11 was an inside job never mention the book that Popular Mechanics has published responding to every single one of the idiot conspiracy theories re 9/11. But the conspiracy theorists won’t bother to read anything that undermines their beliefs and reveals their worldviews as the result of traumas over poor toilet training by their parents. That resentment against parents, for one reason or another (but usually the resentment is a result of being spoiled and neglected at the same time) becomes the chief lens through which the conspiracy theorists unconsciously see everything, including their relationship to their native land.

As for the article, if we do not remain ever more vigilant in all areas we are destined for failure and another attack… which of course would be crippling for all Americans…regardless of party affiliation. Imagine your mom, brother, sister, dad, best friend being killed in another attack???
Do you care what party is in office or do you really have those conspiracy theories that you dream about so when something comes close to it you point to Bush and say see I told you so?
I have a theory about a bank being robbed by a group of people for the sake of stealing money and they will have masks and use a get away car. I wounder if somewhere in America or in the world this takes place I can now point to it and say see I told you so. It’s Bush’s falt because I warned him. STUPID HUH!

“Sometimes I think the urge to believe in our own worldview is our most powerful intellectual imperative, the mind’s equivalent of feeding, fighting, and fornicating. People will eagerly twist facts into wholly unrecognizable shapes to fit them to existing suppositions. They’ll ignore the obvious, select the irrelevant, and spin it all into a tapestry of self-deception, solely to justify an idea, no matter how impoverished or self-destructive.”
America is killing itself with divisiveness. That has been the terrorists’ greatest accomplisment.

I love how left wing nut jobs always claim that bush blew up the towers… if he is that brazen, wouldn’t he also have planted WMD in Iraq? if he would have planted them there he would have been a world hero…. so you nut jobs are saying that he killed 3000 on 9/11 in order to be able to invade iraq and then not find wmd in order to make himself look bad? extreme liberals always have to blame america for everything, no matter what it is. Its sad…
Posted by: Fosterman | August 1, 2007, 9:43 pm 9:43 pm
I have to speak out here – it’s not just the “crazy” left that think 9/11 is an inside job (sounds like the conservative media’s doing) because many libertarian, true conservative (anti-big gov & trillion dollar debt) and anti-Israel types believe this, too. Frankly, both extremes are narrow-minded pawns.

Why do the creepy Al Qaeda people call it a “big suprise” like it something we will all enjoy. Like balloons will fall from the sky and someone will be named the one millionth lucky shopper or something?
Brad Smith seems to think we are very safe thanks to the “wise leadership.” I do not think he is a wise leader like Brad does. If Mr. Bush is so wise why are we still stuck in Iraq? If Mr. Bush is so wise why is Osama Bin Laden not dead or captured? Bush is also unwise about global warming and many other crucial matters. So unwise is he. So very, very, VERY, very unwise. Notice how I put a word in all caps like Brad did :)

Many of the posts here prove that liberals are the enemy within. The wacky-weed, tin-foil-hat brigade that now owns the Democrat party are doing the very thing the terrorists want them to do.
What’s sadder still is that the media refuses to show but one side of this conflict.
I do think there’s a reckoning coming soon.

So you think bush is a bad president. Lets just look at facts.
Unemployment historic low.
Tax revenue al time high.
Home ownership all time high.
Manufacturing out put all time high. Don’t believe me look it up.
Before Bush How many Arab people were helping us. There is about 3 million Iraq’s helping us now. Even Pakistan is hitting the terrorist so hard they have started to kill themselves.
Terrorist attack, not one since 9/11.

And if all goes according to previous history soon you will be able to claim your neighbor is a terrorist simply because you do not like his politics, or the way he mows his grass.

There is no such thing as Al qaeda. It is merely a false flag propaganda measure emanating from the Bush Administration. Bush created Al Qaeda, OBL and 9/11. You will never see another terrorist attack in the contiguous United States because that would harm the republicans in the 08 elections. A full investigation should be started on Larry Silverstein and his destruction of WTC7 which has already been rebuilt and released.

Here we are talking about a tape released by Al-qaeda and some how the Republican party, George Bush, and Christianity start getting bashed why don’t you left-wing notes save your ammunition for the right-wing nuts and not start this nonsense here. I always like to when the terrorists say God willing its almost like they are setting everyone up for a let down. Oh well we didn’t kill anyone I guess Allah didn’t want it to happen oh well. When the reality is they don’t have the resources at the moment to pull off anything big

I wonder how opinions would change if they actually pulled another “big surprise” off in the US. Personally I think that al-zawahiri’s goal is control of the Pakastani nuclear arsenal. Of course they will have to pull if off with people like the blind shiek described “dumbest of all of gods creatures”. I mean all they could pull off with doctor educated idiots was to kill the door at Glasgow airport and light himself on fire. What a bunch of morons we are fighting against. It really bothers me as a veteran that our congressional leadership doesn’t think that we can win against this load of mudhut trash. It is time we stopped taking these people serious and time we started mocking them.
example: how many phd level educated islamic terrorist does it take to kill an airport door?

Terrorism does not recognize lines of liberalism or conservatism. Terrorists despise a free republic b/c of what It stands for and what It represents. The issue of terrorism is bipartisan..

- Hollywood is filled with the most intelligent and responsible Americans in the country.

Don’t trust our government. This is their method of operation:
For example, let’s say the government wants more control over it’s citizens. However, people are not willing to give up their civil liberties. So… 1. The government creates a problem (i.e. 911). 2. There is mass panic and a public outcry for the government to step-in and solve this problem. 3. The government is happy to step-in and “solve” the problem but it will involve taking away our civil liberties in order to fight “terrorism” [which they created in the first place]. And viola! Everyone is happy.
Everyone is happy until the government wants to accomplish something different. Then the process will begin again…creating a problem, responding to the public outcry, and then steping-in to solve the problem. Keep you eyes on Iran…The U.S. wants the oil and will make up any lie to lead an attack. ALL OF THIS BEFORE BUSH LEAVES OFFICE.

Now I’am not talking about the old standard and usual standby for Journalists of all stripes.. The proverbial Mr or MRS. Anonymous.. I’am talking real breathing human faces with any kind of connection to the tape.. Let’s have a congressional inquiry and see if Mr. Ross is up to the scrutiny of the more than honorable politico’s..
Now since this is a supposed exclusive, what kind of facetime will it give to Mr. Ross and how will the spin occur , will it be opinionated to the point where there is no need for one to think about what’s being shown ? or will it be intellectually challenging and have a passe professionalism like in the ‘OLD DAYS “..

What does 911 and the London bombings have in common? They both had government/military drills of the exact same senario as the real attacks going on the same exact day as the real attacks.
The fake “drills” or ‘excersizes’ tied up and confused key military and civilian resources so that they could not tell what was real and what was part of the fake excersize. They had to keep asking…”is this real or part of the exersoze” over and over while communicating the disaters.

So a group of sheep, led by a few maniacs, manages to kill 3000 people, destroy two major landmarks and apparently damage the pentagon. Then we react by attacking their ideological base and hurt them. Next we attack a second country because we trump up evidence to oust the maniac we supported there. In that effort we create chaos, end too many young lives , dump a huge amount of public money, and enable our enemy to reorganize.
All along we are subject to terror media campaigns, mostly from gov’t sources. We get shaken down in airports, give up our rights to privacy, free speech, unlawful search and seizure and safety of person. Oil companies and military support corporations make record profits. Except for the super rich, peoples standard of living is going down. There is a general sense of fear, foreboding, and a lot of hatred on both sides. Who won?
For all you Fox news creeps, you think this is winning? And don’t get me wrong, the Democrats are just as bad. Enablers. Hucksters. Phoneys. So where is the voice of the PEOPLE in the process?

I can’t believe how ignorant so many people in this country are. It’s so sad. People are so clueless as to who the real enemy is. You guys are in so much denial that you think the enemy is Bush and America. People are dying for a cause here – which cause do you support, democracy or wahabism.? Do you think this is all some kind of joke, or is everyone just blind and/or stupid?

why is it assumed that liberals, by criticizing a war that was STARTED UNDER FALSE PRETEXT, are waving “white flags?” This is not WWII. This is not a slam dunk. This is Post-Nixon, folks. Why is it so hard to believe our government may sometimes be untrustworthy? We are ridden raw every day – ever heard of pork barrel legislation? Do you trust every CEO of every major corporation? Do you trust people in charge simply because they are in charge?

I wish Bush kept the focus on Al Qaeda instead of his ridiculously ill-conceived war in Iraq.

I find many of the comments here disturbing, reflecting as they do a complete lack of understanding of our enemies. I ask all of you who believe in Bush conspiracy theories, and the benignness of OBL’s brand of Islam, to do two simple things:
1) Look up the philosophy and history of Wahabism (the violent offshoot of Islam that OBL and company believe in), and
2) Do some reading on-line at the website of the American Congress for Truth, an organization started by a Lebanese Christian who experienced first-hand the loving kindness of Wahabist Islam.
If, after doing this rather short and painless research you still feel that our government somehow managed to pull off an incredibly complicated conspiracy, which also requires you to believe that none of the 200+ people (at minimum) needed to make it work have any desire to be rich or famous, there is nothing more to be said. Just try not to hurt yourselves when you eventually run face-first into hard reality … it’s obvious you’re not used to it.

Obama is right on point. He is willing to negotiate where that is useful, and if that fails he will take action where needed. Contrast this to the Bush Administration who is only now negotiating with North Korea, Iran, and Syria, and after saying they would not negotiate. And, Bush for all his bluster does not have the confidence to go in where it matters. As for Bin Ladin being dead, I have a general feeling this is the case. But, no one really knows.

The extremist left wing comments about how Bush is stupid, OBL is paid by Bush, Bush orchestrated the 911 tragedy, blah, blah, blah, likely come from one of three types of people: 1) under 24 year olds that are searching for a way to relive the “fight the man” movement of their parent’s 1960′s & 1970′s or 2) 24 and over and living in squalor as a result of their own ineptitude or 3) individuals that see every glass in their life and others lives as half-full.

In summary… we have a complex issue that is being summarized by some simple minded people with some silly finger pointing. This Right vs Left hatred is counter productive people. I encourage everyone here to read or re familiarize yourself with the famous speech quoted below. The body of the speech is more applicable than ever.
“And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.”
“My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.”

Troy,
What is ridiculous is people like you thinking you are important enough for anyone to want to listen to. Unless you are talking to foreign terrorist suspects I doubt your little life is holding a lot of interest for the government computers to try and pick words out of. So if you don’t talk about bombing the president with a foreigner on the phone I don’t think you have much to worry about. Left wingers are amazing you want all of our rights taken away in the name of diversity and fairness, but think someone trying to stop the next few thousand Americans being killed is way over the top…what morons. Do you honestly think people are listening to your phone calls? Get a life and like another poster said, show me one time in your little life that your rights have been denied or you have been told you can’t go somewhere or say something absolutely negative about your country or it’s president?

AL-CIADA isn’t even a real terrorist organization. A group of educated doctors in England couldn’t pull off a terrorist attack and we’re to believe a bunch of guys living in a cave will be able to orchestrate some attack that not only defies logic, but the laws of physics as well. Get real people. I know the truth is painful, but come on.

for those who question the inside job “conspiracy”: there are two possibilities 1) there was some level of inside job involvement or 2) they (the oil/war profiteers) knew about it and let it happen. The only other possiblity is that they DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT! – the scariest of all. In any case, they got what they wanted – our tax money, half of it (the part actually spent) spent on nonsense instead of pressing social needs here. Social security or homeland security.

Another terror attack desperately needed to save a failed foreign policy and build up war fervor against the next target – Iran. Many of us know that another terror attack has allready been psyched up to the masses, by the constant affirmations of so call experts and administration spokes people. We know the alphabet channel newscaster are complicit in covering up government culpability of 9/11.
Posted by: Marc Villa | August 1, 2007, 11:36 pm 11:36 pm
I’m sadly not surprised with the nonsense I’m seeing here. The 9/11 “truthers” are genuinely convinced the attacks were “an inside job”. Reason and common sense has completely left these people. They simply take any discrepancy between eyewitness accounts and state this as “proof”. They look at video of the buildings falling down and claim this proves controlled demolitions because the buildings fell…well…down. Some even believe no plane ever hit the towers, that they were actually missiles digitally made to look like planes by the media (on live TV no less) and that anyone who was interviewed who says they saw a plane live was a plant to further the conspiracy.
Anyone who wants to believe in conspiracy can “prove” said conspiracy with a leap of faith. These same people generally believe that JFK, RFK, and MLK were all killed by the CIA, that area 51 houses many space aliens, that any future terror attack against the U.S. will be perpetrated by the U.S. and that Bush plans on staying in office beyond ’08 by declaring martial law and canceling the elections.
In the old days, these folks were relegated to mental institutes or, at least, late night radio broadcasts by Art Bell. With forums like this the asylum has become mainstream.

There’s as much circumstantial scientific evidence for the possibility of a 9/11 conspiracy as there is circumstantial scientific evidence to disprove that very possibility. Unfortunately there’s not enough unequivocal scientific evidence to allow any of us to know for certain which might be truth.
Therefore either argument is not only un-winnable, but moot.
So why is it the detractors of these conspiracy theories have spent the last half of this page and dozens of posts keeping the argument alive among themselves when in that same amount of web space, no one has even proposed a conspiracy theory? You guys must be talking to yourselves….or may as well be.

On a similar subject – anybody else wondering what happened to the Anthrax investigation (what a coincidence that was!) or how about the pre 9/11 airline stock market activity (who knew?). Maybe it had something to do with the worldwide system of unaccountable secret banking systems that all these groups (govt, terrorists, robber barons…) use.

Oh wow. This has been an interesting read…the comments more so than the article.

It would sound much more intelligent for Joe Schmoes like you to say, “ya know, we really have no idea”. You’d probably cry for your mommy if you knew what we were really threatened with on a daily basis. But God forbid if we intercept phone calls, right? I got a huge kick out of the “the next attack will be an inside job just like the first one” comment. So, would you mind telling me when the first one was? September 11th? Yeah, you’re right…history began when George Bush took office. Nevermind the first Gulf war, the middle eastern front during the Clinton years, and by all means, let’s forget that the Islamic revolution in Iran circa late ’70s ever happened with the whole inconvenient “hostage crisis” and all. You’re right. These people never looked to harm America before G.W. got ELECTED. Wipe the foam off of your mouth…people are starting to look at you liberals really funny. Admit it, you people are terrified of militant islam, and you appease it because you think if you’re nice they’ll leave you alone. The pussification of America.

Is this the world you people live in? You think Bush is spying on you, and he’s an evil genius who blew up the twin towers and left ZERO evidence behind. Yet going to all that trouble, he still did NOT plant WMD’s in iraq…something MUCH, MUCH easier to do as opposed to murdering 3,000 citizens in what would’ve had to have been a multi-hundred person conspiracy.

It is sad to think that this nation’s enemies have grown so brazen as to telegraph their next blow(s). The problem is that it is even sadder to imagine how weak we have become. When the next attack comes, how will anyone be able to claim it as a surprise? But for those zombies caught up in Paris Hilton, reality tv shows and the new American gangsta culture – big changes are a comin’. The more we degrade our culture, language and borders the closer we come to oblivion. If we don’t wake up now, all that is taken for granted will be taken away. Get ready to wave goodbye to the Red, White, and Blue! God bless us all for what awaits us and generations to come.

“false flag” this must be another buzz phrase from the left.we can argue about war, scare tactics, intel, etc. better to listen to the words of the enemy. there are many sites on the net that have provided us with translations of their teachings and threats. even their fatwas are available to us.
after ww2 many said “how could we have missed what hitler planned? how could we have missed what the japanese were up to?”the answer was simple. we didn’t believe what they told us.
it’s easier, and more comforting to believe things like the words of Chamberlain….. “My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time… Go home and get a nice quiet sleep.”

I assume they didn’t do the mississippi bridge collapse (we won’t know until investigators examine the wreckage, but it seems too small to be AQ). The Al Qaida scum have to do something really big for Bin Ladin to retain any credibility as the rightful successor to Mohammed. The whole history of Bin Ladin is to have each new attack outdo the previous ones in some meaningful way. 9-11 is very hard to outdo. What could AQ do? Nukes, contagious fatal diseases, planes into stadiums, mass suicide bombings, and slow acting poison gases to name but a few. Don’t think we are safe just b/c nothing happened in the last 6 years.

What I find scary is the fact that the majority of people adding to this do not believe that these terrorists are capable of delivering a devastating attack.

What is wrong with all you people on both sides. I beleive there are wacko’s in both the liberal and conservitive camps. The 9/11 attack was real and we need to do something about all terrorism around the world and not all of it is Muslim. Not all Muslims are bad and not all Christians are good. Part of the worlds problems are our own fault we allowed corperations to use and abuse the people and theresources in third world countries in the name of greed. Then we wonder why they hate us.If you worked 20 hours a day in a sweatshop makeing sneakers for America being treated like a slave would you like America.We have created this anamosity around the world for a long time and now it is comeing home to roost. If you follow history you will find that many of these so called enemy’s were one our friends we suplied them with arms,money and training to fight another enemy only to have them turn and bite the hand that was feeding them. We helped Sadam, we helped the Talaban. Even the ones who say they are our friends only want our money. If we cut off all world aid they would all hate us. History shows that every great civilization from the beginning of time has self distructed from the inside due to coruption, greed,power strugles and the colapse of the moral fiber of the people. Take a look around people what do you see in America today we are and always will be our own greatest enemies. We are causeing the distruction of our once great society ourselves all our enemies need to do is sit back and wait our country will crumble like all the rest and someone else will step in to take over as the great power of the world.Right now we are just like the Romans were fat and lazy easy pickings for someone lean, mean and hungry for power.

Well, for all the 2 or 3 people who wrote the article on the impossibilities of 9/11 being an inside job, I can give you 75 to 100 tenured, emeritus, physics professors and structural engineers from well established American colleges with hundreds of years experience between them that can explain in plain terms just why it’s equally possible that the towers could never have come down because of two airplanes and exactly why. But you really don’t need bother yourself with the findings of over 1000 actual men and women of science. You got an article written by a couple of guys at Popular Mechanics.

I predict that when the next round of violence in the Middle East erupts (involving Syria/Lebanon/Iran/whoever and Israel), that OBL will make his move and overthrow Musharraf in Pakistan, thereby obtaining a real army and all the hardware that goes with it, including nukes.

Spineless conspiracy nuts are the heart of the Democratic party it seems. It is quite strange to watch a section of our great society celebrate such mediocrity. They embrace the idea of peace, but all it means is that they are content to leave the world as is. They would not put forth the effort to do something proud or heroic, so why should anybody else. Peace and love are the results of blood and toil. If we could expect peace from our enemies, then maybe we could try diplomacy. Until then, we must use our strength, because it is strength that makes all other values possible!

Read Romans in the New Testament and learn how and why we end up in these big ,stupid, idiot catastrophes. Why does Man still think he is so smart?
Every once in a while we get a few years of peace.
Then here comes a guy using GOD to prey on large
amounts of people to further his cause. It will always
take getting HIT 2 or 3 times before we finally ask the
fine folks from the MIDDLE EAST to get on a plane , and get the Hell out of here. Then we will realize what
our parents and grandparents went thru during WW II

People, calm down and lets look it
from another perspective.
First, Al Qaida as perceived does not
exists. It is a code name created by
China and Russia to destroy America.
Second, there is evidence that such
conspiracy is still in effect and
“Al Qaida” is financed by America’s
enemies.
Third, if our intelligence is focused
on an ideology and not facts, we will
never know how to defeat an unknown
enemy. Thanks for reading. Please give it a look from this side of the story.

“Peace and love are [not] the results of blood and toil.” Peace and love are natural and flowing and following the path of least resistance. Not like the turbulent storms of conflict that you believe in.
Face it, some of us are taught one way and we believe it. Others are taught another way and they believe it. Without those who believe that conflict and blood and toil are necessary, this planet could be pretty cool. But I’m just visiting anyway.

Well with all of this information coming out lately from Al-Qaeda it looks like they are gearing up for something big. The signs are clearly there. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised that the next attack could be nuclear. They have been obviously working on getting nuclear material and weapons for years, if not decades. That is all they do and think about. While we do our jobs here, they are constantly planning and thinking ahead, trying to overcome our security barriers, and are patient with their planning for attacks. We can’t live in fear but due to our culture now in America, due to our selfishness, due to widespread liberalism mentality, due to failed Clinton and Bush administrations with security, and especially the Bush adminstration in general, we very well might be waking up to a terrorist attack that far exceeds 9-11 soon. And if that happens, the whole world changes, the whole economy and worldwide economy changes, and the way we go about our daily lives changes forever. The only thing really you can do is have faith, believe in God and Christ, and pray for the best.

If you HAVE never actually read anything, learned anything or understood anything before (re Islam, World War II, the “grenade with the pin pulled” called political correctness) the experience coming soon to a street near you, courtesy of the terrorists, will give you a first hand, personal education. Of course, you will be dead, so it won’t be real useful. Unbelievable.

Sayyid Qutb did not know George W. Bush. Qutb arrived in Greeley, Colorado in the late 1940s and was quite appaled at the “loose” moral structure of American society. An adherent to only the strictest interpretation of the Koran, in the fashion of Ibn Taymiya and ibd abd al-Wahaab, he was utterly offended by the “wild life” of 1940s rural Colorado. So powerful were his words bemoaning what he experienced here that he incited a generation of America hating muslims to wage jihad. Decades later, along comes this “moron” from Texas who somehow is able to manipulate these 7th century throwbacks, 3000+ Americans, hundreds of gov’t officials, first responders, eyewitnesses, federal agents, air traffic controllers, and the world media to go along with his plan to make it look like we were attacked so that we could invade Afghanistan and Iraq resulting in bin-Laden’s escape, no WMD and the “moron” with egg all over his face. When you understand the history of jihad, you understand that denial of its existance won’t protect you from it, only action will.

Hey Andy:
I’ll tell you what that bumper sticker (“I’m a citizen, not a suspect”) means…exactly that. Example: I am a white male mid-thirties with a wife and two daughters. Recently, we were taking our kids back East to see their grandparents. At the airport we (yes, all four of us) were pulled aside for “special screening”. Even the TSA agent realized how absurd this was as they not only patted down my 3yr. old daughter but my 6mo. old daughter as well. Why am I and, more importantly, my little girls treated as potential terrorist threats to an airliner? We are American Citizens. The people who supposedly “knocked down” those towers were mostly Suadi Arabian Citizens. So, tell me, why are my white, American infants being patted down by security?
And Andy, I don’t belive a single thing on your list:
For all those dullards who think 911 was an inside job I bet you also believed the following:
- The Duke Lacrosse players were guilty.
- Hillary will make a good President.
- Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are not racist.
- Man, especially Americans, causes global warming.
- Hollywood is filled with the most intelligent and responsible Americans in the country.

After all, how many of these laughable ‘al-Qaeda” tapes have been put out that have been proven to be fake? Most people don’t question this, they simply go along with whatever the government tells them, never asking who really stands to gain from it all.

First of all, you cannot say that OBL is dead because there is absolutely no proof one way of the other, so it’s just ignorant to suggest that he is.
Secondly, all these terror tapes are scary. My personal opinion: they are telling the truth and we really are screwed. They have no history or lying, nor any motivation to do so. Yea they scare us, but they lose credibility and are become the laughing stock of the rest of the world.

The funny this is is that Al-Qaeda has become so powerful and widespread because of guess what, the Internet and high-speed broadband communication. This is their tool, and who knows, they might be reading these kind of messages on these blogs right now. Al-Qaeda is pratically doing webcasting now. Just go to youtube and type in whatever that 2nd in command guys name for Al-Qaeda is. People all throughout the world can easily view his video messages in the privacy of their own homes or caves, while also searching the Internet for whatever suits their fancy. They have even used myspace to help recruit members and spread their jihad messages. Maybe sleeper agents in the US are looking at hidden coded picture messages sent from Al-Qaeda leaders in Pakistan now telling them what to do next too. Oh, the power of the Internet.

Whoever mentioned getting OBL in Paki is a genius as he will overthrow Musharaff and take possession of their nuke arsenal and bring along the 45 suitcase nuke ‘crowd pleasers’ he’s pretty much confirmed to have purchased on the black market as early as ’91 through ’99. Say your prayers that half a dozen are not already forward deployed here already: forget about real estate bubbles we’re talking complete disruption of basics to sustain this nation. The notion that we’re safer since 9/11 may be the craziest thing i’ve ever heard! If anyone out there thinks we’re safer i pose some simple questions: did our goverment shut down every mosque in the country? Did we deport every muslim like we should have? To all of you constituion loving citizens: is a foreigner’s right to hide in a US mosque plotting their next major attack while worshipping their pedophile Mohammed greater than a citizen’s right to defend the constitution? Islamofaschism is real. Islam is about submission to muslims at all costs or death by beheading. Read the koran. Understand your enemy. When they attack here next, as evidenced by the estimates of 100k+ OTM (other than mexicans) crossing in here every year since 9/11, you will need to call to arms & help law enforcement round ‘em up & shut the mosques down once & for all! Also, to all Christians who believe that all religions are peaceful you need to accept that this premise is a falsehood. 85% of American muslims are sympathetic to their brother jihadists.

To all you “truthers”….
If Bush/Cheney/Rummy were so smart to pull off 9/11 and blame Arab Muslims in order to start a war with Iraq, why didn’t they do the same with Katrina? I.e. blow up the dykes, then blame it on Iraqi Muslims to beef up lagging support for his war-4-oil? Oh, what’s that? Bush took full responsibility Katrina??? what kind of lame conspirator is this Bush administration anyway?
And why did Bush blow up WTC 7 with NO ONE IN IT?? Why didn’t he just kill everyone inside to begin with?
And if Bush could pull off a 9/11, why couldn’t he plant even one fake WMD in the Iraqi desert to prove to the world he was right all along about Saddam?
And in this boogeyman Patriot-Act era that surely seeks to silence anyone who knows too much, how is it possible that “whistleblowers” Dylan Avery and David Ray Griffin aren’t in jail or running for their lives?
Only “truthers” think Bush is the smartest human on the planet.

And we are arguing about semantics!!! There are two choices that are being offered to us. Roll over and die. Or kill. That is as plain as I can make it. You can roll over and die.

New threat… okay, seems like they are trying to get us to the point where we are like “yeah, yeah, sure” (which seems to be about where we are – me too sometimes) and then ….POW.
Inside job 9/11, fake Alquida, etc. people….I don’t know what to say. You really need some help and I hope you get it.
WMD in Iraq?…this I can speak on as I personally have spoken to Georges Sada, who was military advisor to Saddam at the time about. (I realize many will not believe this – but it makes it no less true) YES. Saddam had WMD. It really is irrelevant to this article, but since some people are bringing it up and I know the answer I decided to post it for those willing to hear the truth.
OBL dead?…show me a body.
And to the people with numbers… 1) I certainly hope there isn’t half of the country as delusional as some on here, as one poster claimed ; and 2) for the person who said they could find 75 to 100 scientists who believed the towers couldn’t have fallen down, despite the fact that they did, and then said that that meant over 1000 men and women, I think your math may be as messed up as your thinking.

Wow, I’m impressed by:
A. Ad hominem attacks
B. All the political unreality lots of people believe
C. All the illogic here
Plain and simple, we need to understand the following:
There are Islamofascists out there
They wish to destroy us
They have taken steps to show they wish to destroy us thru terrorism
And they are not going to be convinced thru poverty programs, kumbaya songs, rainbows, negotations, etc.
We do not know exactly what the best solution to the problem is. We are probably overstretched militarily, and no one else wants to help us out at a level tht is effective. Europe is far too degenerate to aid us, and won’t fight for itself anyway, even if a horde of Islamofascists invade one of those countries, threatening sharia on all it’s residents.
Is Bush doing the right job? Did the Iraqi liberation aid us in fighting terror? Or did he make huge mistakes in the war on terror? Time will tell. It is said Al Qaeda is now as strong as it was post-Afgani liberation.
It certainly alienated us from those who might be able to help (and no, I don’t mean effimates like the French or the Germans, I mean the Chinese, or the Russians, for both of whom it is in their interests to wipe this threat out as well). Attempting to liberate Iran, or invading northern Pakistan, would be nice to help snuff out the terrorists, but it could lead to even more problems – like, say, Armegeddon.

Actually, Bill, polls show that about 16% of Americans have concluded that the U.S. government was complicit in 9/11 – and for good reason. And, actually, very few of us – exactly none that I’ve met – believe that Elvis is alive or that the moon landing was faked.

It is perfectly plausible to accept the explanation that men living in caves plotted one of the most spectacular military operations of the modern era, successfully hijacked four planes, engaged in coordinated military maneuvers against the United States, and executed said maneuvers for over 75 minutes without any American response- even though the American military has the budget of all other militaries on earth- and then some. And at least 8 of the accused hijackers are still alive. And the BBC broadcast that WTC 7 had already collapsed (with the building pictured in the background 14 minutes before it actually came down), and the fact that at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania there was NO PLANE. I could keep going here. But the point is that there are 80 or 100 points about the official story that are impossible and against the laws of reason, or physics, or both. The terrorists making video threats is the best possible thing for those currently in power. Without fear mongering, how could they continue to dilute your freedoms while you’re distracted fighting your liberal v. conservative battles?

Wow…The Jihadists must love this site. All the people that show their gullibility and lack of intelligence…it must be very encouraging for them. The constant rabid attacks against our own President at a time of, like it or not, war. When will people understand that there are large numbers of people out there, that want to kill you because you’re free. That’s all it takes. Freedom. Now if you’ll just give up every freedom you value, and become a Muslim, all will be forgiven. I guess the video of the hijackers with Osama, the video of them boarding the planes etc. is just all part of the plot. C’mon…you leftist that believe the U.S. attacked itself on 9/11 call him the Chimp in Chief. Which is it? Is he an evil genius that orchestrated 9/11 without a single co-conspirator or lackey, of which there had to be hundreds to carry this out, coming forth, or a moron? You can’t have it both ways.
You’re the kind of mindless Sheeple that thought/think the moon landings were faked. I hope you have fun with your idiotic theories as you betray the country you probably claim to love. You should consider the weight of your words when denigrating our President and thereby your country in this global arena
Perhaps you take comfort in the thought that you are giving aid and comfort to our very real enemies, in their war to make you Muslim or dead. The Mainstream Media is the enemy of the people. YOU need to wake up. When they chant “Death to America” in Iran…they mean you to Pal…

The problem with the Bush administration is that they are npot fighting either the Afghanistan or Iraq war to win.
In order to defeat the Muslims terrorists, and the regrouping Taliban and Al-Qaeda, and the drug warlords in Afghanistan, and stop the terrorists and ethnic warfare in Iraq, most military experts believe it would take three times as many troops as we have depolyed in both of those countries. That is why we are losing both wars and in the long haul the Muslim terrorists are gaining strength. We are fighting both of these wars just the opposite of our vicotry in W.W.II. We fought W.W.II with overwealming force, not underwealming force like we are these days.
That is why Bush only has a 25% approval rating in America. He is fighting both wars to lose, not to win.
As far as America not being attacked since 9/11/, America has been attacked far worse than 9/11.
By Bush refusing to control our borders, over 20,000 Americans have been killed by illegal immigrant gangsters who have come to America since 2001. That is seven times the number that died on 9/11.
The Afghanistan war should have been fought like W.W. II, with a draft, and many more troops there.
The Iraq war was unecessary. Reagan backed Saddan Hussein and Iraq against Iran.
And our borders and borders should be secired. That is where our tropps should be, on our borders and our ports. Obviously.
Posted by: John | August 2, 2007, 4:10 am 4:10 am
I think the real point here is not so much that Bush is a monkey (not that I disagree…) but that ALL politicians in general (there are some exceptions I’m sure) are monkeys. Was 9/11 an inside job? I’d say no. Is the government being completely truthful and upstanding with motives in our current conflicts? Um, no. Is Bush a super duper leader? Hell no. Is Bush a demon who eats puppies? Doubt it. I think that extremists are where the crazy antics start. Too far left, too far right, neither is good. My stance? Bush is a crappy president with bad yes-men, politics are always uglier than the pretty sheen they present, we shouldn’t have moved into Iraq without the UN, and now we can’t leave. We’re stuck, in a bee hive. The whole situation justs stings like hell.

If Bush is protecting America, why doesn’t he stop illegals, drugs, and criminals from crossing our borders?
And why does he let Muslims immigrate here when our immigration service is understaffed so we don’t know for sure which Muslims are good people and which ones are not?

One of the guys in the tape is Adnan Shukrijumah(the guy in charge of the american hiroshima plot to detonate nukes in 7 American cities)!How could Brian Ross miss that?
August 6th is also the anniversary of the hiroshima bombing. We are in big trouble.

I have read most of the comments up here and realize something. We may or may not be in Iraq for the right reasons but since we are there untie the military’s hand and let them clean house.
Since we have committed our troops to fighting this fight let them do it. So what if a few civilians get killed lets take a count at all the live that were ruin on 9/11.
When you go up against an enemy with no respect for human life and even religious praise for killing the infidels then you must fight with there kind of tactics.
Who cares why we are there the point is let’s do the job clean house and come home……

Considering that habeus corpus is dead, posse comitatus suspended, torture and secret prisons the norm, FISA turned into a carte-blanche rubberstamp to snoop on anyone at anytime without warrant and peaceful dissent has been classified as terrorism, I would much rather be FREE than SAFE. Give us back our civil liberties and I’ll be happy to take the odds that more Saudi madmen armed with boxcutters won’t be infiltrating our borders. How would a bunch of broke PO’d Iraqis who’ve been ‘liberated’ into povery get over here in the first place….swim? Are we afraid of a people who can’t even keep electricity flowing for 12 hours a day?
Ben Franklin said it best: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”.
American used to be home of the brave, but now we are a nation of cowards willing to embrace tyranny for the illusion we will live forever. Ancient Rome was corrupted thus. End the wasted billions spent on this war of terror and increase funding where it counts – at the immigration & law enforcement levels.

Only in America can some one like John Smith ( an inelligent American?), stand on top of his stool of judgement and speak in such a a derogatory way about the President of our country. I would take George W. Bush as Prsident for another term over the thought of Bill Clinton and even worse his wife in the White House. We can thank Bill Clinton for the mess that our country is in today. The United States has turned away from ” In God We Trust”, to we don’t need God. And thanks to the thoughts of people such as John Smith, people such as myself are refered to as close minded, racist, bible thunping, numb brains, becuse we believe in the “God of Creation”, read the Bible, and believe in the word and prophecy of our Father in heaven. I have just one question for John Smith, who is your god?? If it is not the God of Creation, the fire that come out of your mouth will burn you soon…

Please Americans ,ask yourself some questions.
Who was the best friend of OBL ,when fighting the russians in Afghanistan ?
Who was the president of the states at that time ?
Have you all seen Moore’s movie Fa 9/11 ?
Have you seen how well related is the bush family and Bin Laden ?
How safely the Bin Laden family fly off from the states after 9/11 ?
How much money is Dick Chenney and Friends making with the war in Iraq ?

Well strategically, Al-Qaeda have little to gain, and much to lose by advertising an imminent terror campaign, so I’d say that this tape is more than likely empty promises to boost morale of pro-AQ factions. On the flip side, however, we can’t be sure that this is the case, and anything other then proper scrutiny would be negligent.
As an Australian, I’d not dare to venture an opinion on American elections and politics, but I would ask people to refrain from insulting the President of the United States. I do, of course, realise that you are merely exercising your right to freedom of expression. I personally don’t agree with much that he’s done, but I take exception at the comments of those who’d suggest that he had any part or foreknowledge in and of any action against American citizens. These suggestions are baseless, and unfair (though I wouldn’t call it treason, Russ). He’s made bad decisions, and no doubt he will pay for them in the 2008 elections. But baseless accusations like these are simply prejudicial.

I am so sick of the Bush bashing. What would this country have been like with anyone else. Would John Kerry have stood up to these idiots…don’t think so. How about Gore…he is too worried about the planet to ever nuke someone. No matter what these terrorists do to us we will still be American and bond together. OBL is dead and has been otherwise we would have seen something from him by now. These men are cowards and have everyone else do their dirty work. Lets see Al-zahari strap a bomb to him in a crowded marketplace.

“Bush is in it for the oil” — I hear it all over the place. But if so, not so much for personal reasons as for the good of the people of this county. If PEAK OIL CAPACITY is around the corner, then unintended effects of the war in Iraw are turning out to be a sort of collateral damage. The intended part, shock and awe, did very little killing. The unintended effects due to the INSURGENCY is what is the problem. BUSH IS NOT KILLING PEOPLE FOR OIL. I think now that Gordon Brown has had a chance to be briefed on the whys/why nots of the status quo, and has publicly stated that he thinks Bush is doing the right thing. He is the President of the USA, not the WORLD.

I have a great concern that the most dangerous terroists our citicens are being faced with are in Washington DC. There are those who are frantically working to destroy our justice system to support their progressive (new identy of liberals) ideology. They make outrageous claims about “a failing economy” everytime there is a hicup in the market, they are fevorishly doing all they can to blur the lines of citizenship (mostly for the votes of illegals) and have convulsions at the thought that our military might actually be accomplishing their mission in Iraq. Who are these terrorist? None other than a group of gutless, power hungry, self promoting egomaniacs known as the Democratic Controlled Congress. Of course they are aided and abetted by the likes of Arlan (magic bullet) Specter, John (Liz’s EX) Warner and of course that paragon of mental midgetry Mr. Lugar.
At least there is a Joe Lieberman who has proven that he will stand on principle (agree with him or not). YOu know , he might make a good president.

Oh, yes, I’m sure staying in Iraq will keep the “terrorists at bay, fighting there rather than here”. Because, you know, most of the 9/11 terrorists were Iraqis, and most of them traveled to America the day before the attack…
Oh, wait, no, actually that’s not true. So, maybe you shouldn’t feel so safe after all.

This article isn’t about 9/11 and isn’t about any “inside job” – it is about a recent threat that impacts our Mother Country. While I am deeply against the Iraq war, yet support our troops, and while I’m not a fan a President Bush (yet claim no political party) – this issue on the table is about a recent posting of OBL and his threat against the USA. Is it real – possibly or is that likely. Are OBL terrorist in this Country, in my opinion, yes and they have always been here, pre/post the 9/11 tragedy. So while many of you have your passionate opinions regarding many topics surrounding media involvement, the President, the war, oil, religion, and so forth – the issue for me is “what can our Country do now w/this new information to better protect the USA, and should it be deemed real?” Even it is can’t be verified at this time – why isn’t our Country taking additional measures (beyond 9/11 Commission recommendations), to protect high risk cities, etc. It has already been proven that multiple venues pose a risk (opening for terrorist) that need to be addressed now. Time is not on our side.

There is a very large population who would like nothing more than to destroy the United States. This has nothing to do with liberal vs. conservative – or what the news channels (who have 24 hours a day to fill with “news”) “pundits” have to say. Unless we appease them, there will be continued trouble; and, we must not appease them, else it will be reinforced and understood that terrorism is a viable tool for them. We are between a rock and a hard place. Its time to toughen up.

All you who think Bush is “infringing” on your rights should take a look at Abraham Lincoln and how he infringed on the rights of Americans during his “administration”, which was a true American dictatorship. Bush is doing a solid job despite getting no support from the Democratic Party, who put the interests of their ideology ahead of the interests of their country.

This video tape was not created by the liberal media. Are you stupid?? Its news and worthy of sharing with us. Its like some of you people live in a box or something. You only have one way, one opinion, and that is your own. You can’t be open minded to hear other arguments or other opinions. What you know and what you think is all that matters. Its sad really. We don’t need the terrorists to destroy us. The Amercan people are perfectly capable of doing it ourselves. And why? Because we no longer know how to or care about being one. Being a united country. Being one entity. One nation, under God, indivisible. All people care about anymore is themselves. I have spoken…that is all.

9/11 was a government conspiracy. I’ll bet the moon landing was a hoax too, put out by a time travelling George W. Bush. He was also the second gunman on the grassy knoll.

Best we heed these words. Bin Laden and his radicals are very patient and cunning. They are determined to make a highlight attack on United States soil.
They have proven to be a formidable opponent on the ground and in the terrorist arena, so we must not underestimate them. Al Qaeda has been planning since 9/11, almost 6 years, for another extreme attack on the U.S.
When one thinks of the incredible surprise attack that they launched on 9/11, the massive destruction they caused, one can conclude what these animals are capable of doing again with significant time to plan. I believe that we should brace ourselves for a major attack by these radicals.

I always find it funny that same group of people in this country, the conserva..errr fundamentalists, that share the values (hate, intolerance, torture, stripping away liberties and rights)of the terrorist groups around the world are the ones who blame the liberals, and or the media. Meanwhile they act all morally superior and hide behind “patriotism”, all the while they are too stupid to realize its they that are no different than the rest of the enemies of our nation. If wasn’t for the media (of the past)and the progressives of this country then we wouldn’t have one damn right or liberty worth fighting for.

“Bush is keeping me safe by killing the terrorists over there” Bush is OBL’s dream, manufacturing terrorists faster than a Chinese slave-labor factory makes Wal-Mart widgets.
“The US economy is booming.” Foreclosures at an all-time high and the rate of foreclosures is growing rapidly…you ain’t seen nothing yet. No more home equity lines of credit to finance home improvement projects and car purchases. Negative savings rate (we’re spending our savings) while the interest rates have more than doubled and billions ARMs are adjusting up 2% per year last year, this year and next year.
“If you don’t like America, leave it.” If you are giving that advice today, then you don’t have a right to complain when your heroes are thrown out of office in 2008 and someone else takes over. Unless, of course, you want to take your own advice.

The only thing you Bush haters and 9/11 inside job conpiracy theorists prove is how easily influenced you are by the mainstream media. Obviously, you aren’t smart enough to actually think for yourselves, so you stare at the television and believe what you hear. Just like all the fools who watch Al Gore’s movie and blindly believe his rhetoric. Hello? What’s Al Gore’s scientific background/education? I think none – he flunked divinity school.
I forgot, he did claim to be the father of the internet – hmmm, I wonder what he could tell us about TCP/IP or routing protocols. Did he help CISCO develop their IOS too?

We have a big problem when somebody threatens all of us but people still think about politics first. These same people don’t say anything bad about bin laden, but they immediately jump on their fellow Americans.

On February 26, 1993 a bomb was detonated in the World Trade Center underground parking lot, killing six U.S. citizens. IRAQI sponsored terrorists planned, financed, executed and carried out that World Trade Center bombing.
The 1993 WTC bombing, took place on the Friday before the two year anniversary of IRAQ’s defeat in Kuwait, which was February 28, 1991. The anniversary in 1993, was a Sunday and few people would have been working at the World Trade Center that day; and IRAQ and the terrorists wanted to maximize the number of American casualties.
During the initial planning of the WTC bombing, Mahmud Abu Halima (who was later convicted for his role in the bombing) was in regular and frequent contact with his uncle Kadri Abu Bakr, who lived in IRAQ and had been a member of a PLO faction allied with SADDAM HUSSEIN.
Shortly after these calls, the mastermind of the bombing, Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, an IRAQI INTELLIGENCE agent, traveled to the United States using travel documents forged in Kuwait during the Iraqi occupation of that country in 1991

I don’t know that 9/11 was an inside job but the most compelling arguement I have heard is a parralel to what would be a similar point in history if it were true. Hitler galvanized the country toward war when he destroyed a monument through arsen that was later discovered to be carried out by the nazi’s stategicly. I guess the point is that things like this are not un heard of in history. As far as bush being a great leader……. I feel a true conservative would have been more concerned and proactive defencively by now and I don’t see that on our border’s or docks and all investigations verify as much. I think the idea that a secretive terrorist community who are thought to have pulled of 9/11 staying in Iraq to fight the worlds most elite combat force is just short sighted and almost silly. I would not give them that much credit. It also would not support the findings of huge growth in europe and the middle east of aq. There is not a whole lot to defend the president on his methods. I could have been more supporrtive if I felt that anyone was being held accountable. I know it happens under all presidents and I know it’s happened before, but we deserve better then this and should wxpect as much from them all every time as a standard worth striving for and needing to be upheld. My best anology is that if it were your company and Bush was a CEO with this kind of behavior, tactics, character, mentality, practices and suspected deceitfulness with questionable ties to anyone who could threaten your buisiness…….he’d be gone and fast. We , none of us should be so convicted to our conclusions. It is the an American quality to be able to reason and change our conclusions and to represent the best in people. I would be more forgiving of Bush if I felt he personified any of our best qualities as a nation. I am very patriotic and care about our image in the world due to many friends I have made from many places all over the earth. I think it’s imperrative for our future and ability to lead and prevail consistantly for us to be careful and not allow for others to see us as weak or corrupt or worse incapable. I understand that it’s easy to blame the media ,but in the end I believe if Bush or his cabinet were more in tune with the value of world opinion and support. Other presidents have dealt with controversy and were still graceful enough to garner world opinion. Reagan, anyone? The man was always concerned with our image as the rightious leader in the world. We’ve lost that. It dissapoints me as a citizen.

Funny how almost 7 years without an attack and Bush gets NO credit. Even though the Dems have tried to help our enemies in the name of free speech and right to privacy.
But if we do get attacked THEN Bush will get credit.
We have a Dem congressman saying that a victory in Iraq would be bad for the Democrats! That says it all.
Do they really want power so bad that losing a war is worth it? Is there that much hatred for Bush that they would wish for a loss? Apparently.

Of course that translates to me being a white racist redneck flagwaving bible thumping patriot…

Dear Troy Street, our foreclosure rate is so high because a certain group of Americans can not manage their money. These people were getting sub prime loans with little or no down payments and could never afford these homes to begin with. It is not Bush’s fault that the forecloosure rate is high. We can not rely on the government to bail them out and pay their loans. We can not rely on the government to bail everyone out. We must take responsibility for our own actions and purchases. It is called money management 101

“If we had kept on track in Afghanistan and captured these idiots, we would not be worrying about another attack.”
Unfortuantely, it’s not that simple.
I am allergic to bee stings–VERY allergic. A single otherwise benign honey bee, yellow jacket, fire ant, et al, could expedite my untimely demise. I live with this unsettling knowledge daily.
Consequently, I have spent a lifetime trying in vain to avoid “things that sting,” and I splatter, spray, and otherwise whack-and-stack them when avoidance is a not an option. Mind you, the bees have no agenda, no beef with me–personally– they’re just doing what they do.
Thing is, I’ll never get all of them. They are everywhere, an ever-present threat to my very existence. For me, another’s loveable honey bee is the suicide bomber of the insect world.
Terrorists are like swarming stinging insects. Sure, you can avoid the known nests, but what do you do when they set up housekeeping under your front porch steps, in your eves, between the gaps in your siding?
Do you pack up and flee your own house?
Or do you seal the cracks and call the Orkin man?

Wait. I’m just as skeptical about the Bush-Cheney two-headed monster, but I still haven’t figured out the conspiracy theory that 9/11 was an inside job. Yes, we ditched Afgahnistan too soon and yes, we went into Iraq without a serious plan. If we wanted to supplant Saddam with a friendly gov’t, we obviously had no idea of how to do it.
Oil? Production in Iraq is slow and the pre-war deals with China and Russia are slowly coming back to the table. We won’t wholly own the oilfields of Iraq.
So why orchestrate 9/11? Please tell me, because I’d love an answer. But don’t get me wrong: I think Bush is a war-mongering fool and that Cheney is a vile beast. We’ve mortgaged the country on imbalanced trade with China and let Vampire Russia into the house only to have them turn against us. But 9/11 was an inside job? Please!
We needed to hunt the terrorists down first, but I think Bush thought it was a good idea to set a big trap in Iraq, only we’re stuck in it, too. Remember, Cheney is a quail hunter and we all know how that worked out: killed a few birds and shot one of his own in the back.

Lessee, from the lefty crazies, Bush is an idiot but supposed to be smart enough to pull off 9/11 without anyone knowing it. He’s about to leave office because of the next presidential election but he is a dictator and dictators don’t ever leave office until they are dead. The economy sucks yet it is actually growing at a rate better than under Clinton. What you see how is how well propaganda has worked on these lefties and how these lefties don’t even realize they are being played by the party and people they choose to support. Yet, these same lefties LOVE to tell us all how smart they are.

We could afford new hospitals and NEW BRIDGES ! We could take care of the helpless in New Orleans and every where there is a disaster. We could put a Solar and Wind generation system on every residence in the US and eliminate our energy crisis not to mention fuel our electric cars……..may god man, you, your cronies need to start paying attention to us, the ones paying for all this and your salary……..signed an embarassed former rebublican.

Shortly after these calls, the mastermind of the bombing, Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, an IRAQI INTELLIGENCE agent, traveled to the United States using travel documents forged in Kuwait during the Iraqi occupation of that country in 1991
Ramzi Yousef arrived in New York on September 1, 1992 using an Iraqipassport and requesting asylum.
On December 31, 1992, he presented photocopies of passports for Abdul Basit at the Pakistani consulate in New York claiming to be Basit and requesting replacement of his “lost” passport. The real Basit was a Pakistani citizen who had moved to Kuwait and disappeared during the Iraqi occupation in August 1990.
IRAQI INTELLIGENCE had access to the Kuwaiti Interior Ministry files and upon information and belief, inserted Yousef’s fingerprints into the file and provided him with photocopies of two older passports from Basit’s file.
This provided Yousef with a means to escape the U.S. two days after the World Trade Center bombing. In fleeing the United States after the bombing,
Yousef fled to Pakistan and was eventually sheltered at an AL QAEDA guesthouse.
He was arrested in February 1995 in Pakistan and extradited to the U.S. for prosecution and was eventually convicted in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing conspiracy

True, OBL and his henchmen are holed up in Pakistan, but their movement is limited, and so is their communication. Obiously, people elsewhere who support them, but who have never worked with them officals, do their PR blitz. Becuase to have all that computer equipment and supplies, not to mention a reliable power supply, that would definetly be picked up by satelite and would expose them to air strikes or UAVs.

“One day if we can all go to school racism, homophobia and republicans will all disappear and we can have a truly great country (thats COUNTRY, not COUNTY for all those republicans out there)”
What? This is the kind of crap that made me switch to Independent. The arrogance of the DKos/DU left is nauseating. I have spent two tours in the Middle East and the threat IS real. Liberalism really IS a mental disorder. Read the threads here… see how people talk about “If we all just held hands and got along” or “If you just were smarter like me, you’d see the world like I do.” I think back to all my College professors who were so smart… but they could barely dress themselves or tie their own shoes.
Newsflash: “The world doesn’t care how you WANT things to be!”.
Newsflash #2: “9-11 was not an inside job” How in the hell do you think they could pull that off without someone leaking it? Bush can’t even burp without someone leaking that info to the NYT. This administration can’t do simple things right… yet you think they are competent enough to pull off 9-11? You ARE nuts.
Newsflash #3: “Democrats may suck… but Republican are not much better.”
Newsflash #4: They will attack us again. I have been face to face with terrorists. This is not a joke, they are not a joke. They are determined and 100% believe in their ideology of hate. We are lazy, complacent, and politically correct. Since your so damn smart… you do the math…

If you have forgotten 9/11, and don’t see the need to protect “TRUE” americans and their country, move to Canada or Mexico. Even better move to Iraq or Afghanastan or Syria or Iran or Pakistan.

“…Bush is in it for the oil” — I hear it all over the place. But if so, not so much for personal reasons as for the good of the people of this county…”
Ok, then how do you explain Bush’s devastatingly harmful insistence betting the country’s independence from oil on turning corn into ethanol? Everyone knows that is nothing but a ploy to get votes from the farm belt. Everyone also knows that corn energy requires more energy to produce it than it yields. And everyone certainly knows that the price of corn has gone up because of Bush’s blatantly political move, causing inflation for all of us.
So, give me a break with this “it’s not about oil” malarkey.
You will never hear Bush say a good word about solar energy or wind power. The reason they don’t help him get votes from his political constituents like corn energy does.

as to the vets comments supporting black water, consider this. They have the contract to supply water to our troups. Upon testing, the water they were providing was undrinkable. So when you say they do this or do that. What they really do is bleed the American people dry under the guise of supporting our troups. In reality, they provide the poorest quility goods they can and feed it to our armed forces. You have to wonder how much of a kick back Bush and his cronies are getting.

the fact remains that bin Laden has not been captured or proven to be dead. let me remind the right wingers that obl and al queda took credit for the events of 9/11 and bragged about it. i’m quite sure they are planning more such acts of terror against the American people. meanwhile, we are spinning our wheels and losing good men and women in Iraq. we should still be in Afghanistan like Germany, France and Russia looking for him and wiping out the Taliban once and for all. al queda would come to die in Afghanistan too.

These threats would only scare me if the “inside job” nuts were in power. But thankfully they aren’t gutsy enough to even join the military. Thanks to Bush and our intelligence agency’s and our military, we are safer. These liberals know they don’t have a leg to stand on when it comes to protecting our country from terrorism, so they claim that “its and inside job!, a few guys in some caves could never get to the USA!, there is no real threat to the US!” Al Quida is only hiding in caves now because we are after them. They weren’t so confined before 9/11. We can thank Bush for keeping them on the run.

Pull your heads out of your own selves. Who cares about the past, these people are threatening you. Who cares about your religion or theirs. If somebody were threatening me, I’d go for their throat. Regardless of your political beliefs, or impressions of the past, stop bitching and take them out.

I agree with Dan. These nations (Saudi Arabia, etc.) need to police their own. You had multiple Saudi Nationals (Bin Laden included) participating in 911, yet the Saudis claim “these people are renegades, acting without our support”. They (these governments) say they are outraged by 911, but yet they secretly support such attacks. King Abdullah (Saudi Arabia) recently snuffed the U.S. in a dinner in his honor citing a scheduling conflict. Just like OBL, these cowards won’t fight like men, so it’s time to hold the governments of these nations accountable. War is hell, but if it keeps America free, then so be it. Iran, Syria, pakistan and Saudi Arabia: Your time is gonna come.

IMHO, all of the above posters who have intimated/implied that 9/11 was an “inside” job, meaning the US government was involved, are Idiots. Enough said about the Kooks.
We are in a generational War with the “religion of Peace”. A War that we can only lose if we lose our resolve.
If we had to fight WWII,in this era of “sound bites”, we would all be speaking German/Japanese today.
I am not a big Bush supporter. I think he took his eye off the ball by invading Iraq. But, the reality is that we are there and if we left we would appear weak to the extremists that are/have hijacked the “religion of Peace”. Leaving would only encourage them.

The truth is the conspiracy-believers are living in a soft cocoon of their own making. It is easier to believe (and want to believe) that our own government created a “false flag” operation, because then we can fix it just by getting the “good” political party in power. It is much harder mentally to deal with an enemy that has absolutely mastered how to use our own values, freedoms and (more importantly) the weakness of a bureaucracy against us. It really is sad that we have become so divided because of domestic politics that some Americans simply hate their fellow Americans who dare to disagree with them on policies and values. So Bush-haters spout their drivel, and Bush-bots spout their moronic support, and the rest of us try to live our lives in spite of the two extreme wings trying to dominate our lives. Screw it, I should just convert to Wahabbi Sunni or Twelver Shi’ite Islam and be done with it…

Only about five of all of you have stepped back far enough to have a clue. As evidenced here, Reps and Dems are so busy destroying each other – the terrorist community is laughing with no hurry whatsoever to spend a dime on blowing us up. Tell me who is smart? Look at us! Gullable children full of hate for each other who’d rather bicker than consider looking ahead at some hard truths on the horizon! Never before in US history have we been so torn apart, short of the civil war. So many of you ‘hate’ your President, but fail to understand those are killing words in many nations. But yet your stocks are up and wallets are fat compared to those nations. Maybe you’ll get to eat those words one day.
You democrats do not know or remember your own parents’ party because today’s democrats look NOTHING like they did 30 years ago. You are an entirely different party than you were then and would have been deemed fully radical by those democrats of the 60′s & 70′s. You are blinded with misdirected hatred – but can’t see that either.
Only after democrats are in the White House and terrorists blow up something bigger than WTC – will the dems get a clue that it isn’t about their peaceloving approach. And for the rest of you shortsighted people – it is not about politics. It is not about oil or your ludicrous conspiracies. It is not about “ABC” or “Fox News”. It is not about Dems or Reps. (It is not about gun control you blithering idiots! A gun is nothing more than a chunk of steel until your nasty frickin finger is squeezing that trigger…always blaming something other than your selves! Your thinking is why we are in the shape we’re in today).

Proud American is right on with that last post. Low unemployment, high stock markets. Who is really to blame for the foreclosures? The idiots that bit off more than they could chew. I see young couples driving big SUVs and buying 300k houses with the insurance and taxes that come with those houses. They put nothing down on interest only loans. A little smarter money management would stop the foreclosure problem and I for one don’t want the government helping out in this area. They will need to take my money to give it to these idiots. NO THANKS. I need my money to take care of my own family thank you very much.

There are some real fruitcakes and loons here. The Bush haters have never stopped hating and are always looking for something else to blame him for. You kooks don’t know how lucky you are to live in a nation where you can voice your displeasure with your nations leader and not wind up in jail or in front of a firing squad. Mr. Bush may not be the greatest president this nation has had but he has the moral fiber and courage to take a stand and stick to his guns even when people worldwide hate him and hate this country. What if Kerry were president now ? Senator Flip Flop. Mr. “I voted for it before I voted against it” God forbid we are ever hit by a terrorist attack using bio or nuclear weapons, but I’m glad we have a president like George W. Bush at the helm.

Question:
If 9/11 was “not” an inside job, then how did building #7 “fall down”? What about that steal framed building in Madrid that burned for 7 days straight and never collapsed. Open your eyes, ask questions and study the video footage. After that if you still think it just got to hot and the steal “melted”, show me another case in which a steal building collapsed due to fire, and I will eat my words.
Posted by: Joe | Aug 2, 2007 11:32:29 AM
Steel warps at high temperatures. Hell, railroad tracks can warp in the heat of the sun (which is why they are gapped). Most modern skyscrapers have their structural steel members coated with a fireproof material (usually a gypsum- cellulose material). The WTC had this protection but it was built in the 1960′s so it probably fell short of the coverage required using today’s standards. Also, structural steel fireproofing is easily damaged by impact which is why it is required to be encased in a harder material (such as gyp board) where it is within reach. Obviously, neither the fireproofing nor the gyp board interior is built to withstand the impact of a fuel laden Jumbo jet so it is reasonable to assume that much of the fire protection was lost at the time of impact. Add to that the fact the floors were supported by trellis type steel members which are notoriously hard to spray with fireproofing and it is not hard to imagine (if you have any experience in the area of construction) to see why the building failed. Each floor is supported by the “primary” beams which transfer the weight of that floor to the columns and down to the footing. What happened was that a failure of the supporting structure (primary beams) of one floor was all that was needed to overload the weight bearing structure — basically it was like having God drop a 20 story building on top of an 80 story building.
As to the pancaking of the building (some kooks say this “proves” it was a controlled demolition) gravity is vector specific. It don’t work sideways here on Earth.
Frankly, if you can show me another case in which a fuel laden Jumbo Jet was flown into a sky-scraper at high speed and the building survived I’d be more impressed with your “theory.”

Ex Deo: Your argument about 9/11 (although it is NOT your argument, but you have simply caught this particular social disease from the 9/11 Conspiracy Kooks) is completely illogical. THE FACT THAT SOMETHING *COULD HAVE HAPPENED* is not only a total failure of logic, evidence, and argumentation, but it is downright stupid. Trillions of things COULD have happened around the world every day. YOU ARE RIGHT: Such utter nonsense is “THE BEST” the 9/11 conspiracy kooks can come up with. There are NO unanswered questions about the 9/11 AL Qaeda attack on the United States in 2001. There are only hate-mongers who don’t want to LISTEN to the answers that are all around them. The kooks are most definitely NOT asking questions. THey are peddling lunatic theories, which they know to be false. However, asking questions about a theory is not evidence of some other theory. Saying you don’t believe a theory is not evidence of an alternative theory. Saying you don’t understand how something happened is not evidence of an alternative theory. EVIDENCE would be detonator cord, detonator caps, receipts, unexploded detonation devices. Remember that the WTC rubble site was “owned” by the NYC firefighters and police searching for their buddies for weeks. Do you think they would cover up for murderers of their buddies? 9/11 conspiracies are evidence of mental illness.

Just more propaganda from the military industrial complex coup d’état. At least they give us some warning when and where their next false flag event will happen. Looks like Washington, I see fire in that picture so I would assume nuclear. Maybe they’ll have a little cleaner operation this time. 9/11 was pretty shoddy, too many obvious mistakes, poor coverup, poor operatives,poor actors,loose lipped insiders, cudos to the video special effects guys though except the missing buildings ect.

As long as Isreal exists (us also) they know they (muslims ) are living a lie.

traeh,
I have the Popular Mechanics Book. Chertoff’s cousin was involved and it doesn’t even scratch the surface. The pressure put on by the “conspiracy theorists” have caused the government to rethink their pancake theory, but I am not sure if they went back to it or not.
Now you may ask if I am a “conspiracy theorist”. I can assure I am not. For I refuse to believe that Jaime Gorelick and Philip Zelikow(read their bios), can be the only ones to look into Bush’s classified docs and perform a proper investigation. The 9/11 Commission itself has also admitted that NORAD lied to them and that they softballed Giuliani. Many 9/11 families think the Commission is a joke and I happen to agree. Now that does not mean that I believe the government ordered, regardless of the origin and history of Al Qaeda our prior and current prior relationships with nations that fund and provide logistical support to them, and furthermore if I can not prove government involvement, I obviously would go nowhere near physics and metallurgy since I am neither an expert nor possess an adequate working knowledge of those particular sciences . But I do think that “conspiracy theorists” need to readjust their views and facts, for those who believe that the 9/11 commission was a good or even an acceptable investigation need to have their heads examined just as much as those who think that laser beams brought down the building because their reasoning is just as faulty.

Two people can only keep a secret if one of them is dead. A little secret that keeps us laughing at the conspiracy theorists.
Killing OBL with an American Rifle (or hellfire missile) would be a terrible mistake. Let him die in his cave with none of the comfort or care his ego requires. He should pass quietly into obscurity, with nothing more than the slow beeping of his dialysis machine to keep him company.
Suggesting Bush is responsible for terrorism is like asserting the catholic church created molestation.
It’s a real problem, and it exists in spite of us, not because of us. Time to fix the problem and end all muslim/islamic religion. It is the only ‘modern’ religion that requires its believers to ‘turn by the sword’ those that won’t believe.
Bush haters have no basis to accuse this man of anything. Remember the 1979 hostage crisis in Iran? For 444 days a famous peacenik (Carter) did everything he could to free them. They were, of course, released the MINUTE Ronald Reagan took office.
Seems an American finally read between the lines and displayed teeth to defend his own.

TO ERIC: YES, it IS “perfectly plausible to accept the explanation” because these men (1) WERE NOT LIVIING IN CAVES, (2) had hundreds of millions of dollars available from Saudi oil money, (3) spent years HERE in the United States researching and planning their attack on the US, (4) the 9/11 attacks were BY NO MEANS “one of the most spectacular military operations of the modern era” but were in fact incredibly SIMPLE and astonishingly EASY — it was our letting down our guard that allowed the Jihadis to exploit our loopholes, some of them created by left-wing political correctness (5) hijacking airplanes has happened hundreds of times, (6) The Jihadis DID NOT engage “in coordinated military maneuvers” but simply flew some airplanes into buildings, (7) there were no “maneuvers” (8) standard operating procedure for hijacking WAS TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE HIJACKERS AND NEVER TO CONFRONT THEM, sine most hijackings ended peacefully — eventually — prior to 9/11, (9) even you are smart enough to know that the American military is aimed OUTWARD at EXTERNAL THREATS. Ever heard of “posse comitatus?” The U.S. military is NOT organized, prepared, or trained to fight US civilian passenger aircraft inside the United States It is created to repel INVADERS entering from outside. (10) NONE of the accused hijackers are still alive. (11) As even the BBC has admitted in an internal self-study, the BBC has no credibility, so I do not doubt that false information was broadcast by the BBC. (11) THOUSANDS of eyewitnesses watch Flight 77 fly into the Pentagon with their own eyeballs.

My money is on this being done by US counter-intelligence. Not to elevate the fear in America, but to discredit al-qaeda. When nothing happens, al-qaeda looks like a failure.
Does anyone remember soon after the invasion there was a picture of a captured US soldier that turned out to be a photo of a toy GI Joe doll? I think that was also the same idea, make al-qaeda look foolish.

There’s more to my last post: This is also not about Bible thumpers vs athiests. It is not about OBL being dead or not. It is not about who’s in office or what party you’re a part of.
Let’s see between my last post and this one – that removes about 95 per cent of all the assinine posts that feed on internal US hatred and bickering.
Do you not understand yet? Step back and understand that this country is changing and will continue to change as they ALL do. The direction it changes toward is wholly dependent on the unity of its population. Now…what are YOU going to do with that? Keep on bickering and see where it leads.
There is one more thing that is important in this mix. Whether we are observed as a Bible thumping nation or a nation of athiests, (there is no lukewarm ground…) I dare say the more we ignore God and turn from Him – the sooner this nation will be no more. Please note that if you are an athiest -or one who just ‘lives and lets live’ the result is the same. You declaring atheism doesn’t make God not exist – but watch out when He turns His back on you.

I dare them to try anything near me. I haven’t stopped being vigilant in order to protect my own freedom ever since 9/11, and I never will stop.
Just ask yourself these questions: Do you still have your eyes open? Are you so blinded by your conspiracy theories and hatred of Bush that you wouldn’t intervene if you saw a terrorist attack unfolding right in front of you? Just read some of these posts. I truly believe that there are some among us who wouldn’t do anything about it anymore, because this constant barrage of propaganda has convinced them that we deserve another attack.
The fact of the matter is, many Americans have been lulled back into sleep by the media. Remaining vigilant, for the rest of our lives, is the price we pay for freedom, because there will be no end to the desire to kill non-believers that radical Islam preaches. We can only match that lifelong commitment to kill us with a lifelong commitment to prevent it.

I suggest that the people that don’t believe that OBL even exists need to sue all there teachers from 1st grade until you stopped going to school my guess would be 2nd grade. Sue them, because it is obvious that they where unable to teach you any common sense or for that matter book smarts. Hey but Rosie and her intelligence reports agree with you, common people grow a brain, get a job and make this great country a better place and stop ading the terroists.

OMG! Some of the people posting here are 100% crazy! Do really so many people think we secretly caused 9/11 ourselves?
The US Gov’t (whether Republican or Democrat) makes mistakes and also (very important here) there is not always a right answer to every problem in the world! But blame the terrorists for making the threats and for when they deliver on the threats. Don’t blame Bush or Liberals or The Media, blame the real terrorists who will in the end kill every single person (even muslims & children) who do not agree with their agenda.

If 9/11 was “not” an inside job, then how did building #7 “fall down”? What about that steal framed building in Madrid that burned for 7 days straight and never collapsed. Open your eyes, ask questions and study the video footage. After that if you still think it just got to hot and the steal “melted”, show me another case in which a steal building collapsed due to fire, and I will eat my words.

I am a Republican yeah. I am also agnostic, have a 136 IQ and actually do know right from wrong (or left in this case). Bush *is* a flawed President. Where Reagan was the “great communicator”, Bush is the “poor communicator”. He has let his opponents paint a poor picture of himself, his administration, and his goals on the war and the country in general. That doesn’t mean however that those goals are not the RIGHT ones. He acted. Some of you don’t quite understand how important it is to simply have that much conviction in a President. Finally you can say something over and over till you are blue in the face. “Inside job, inside job, inside job”… but it doesn’t make it true. However it may make more feeble brained people believe it… which is why you do it, isn’t it? The very spirit of the word propaganda.

The evidence is quite clear that WTC building #7 collapsed due to some external force. The perpetrators of 9/11 probably planned to have Flight 93, which crashed in a field in Pennsylvania, smash into WTC #7 thereby giving that building a reason to collapse. However, the plane did not crash into #7, yet building #7 STILL collapsed. This is because it was prepared with the proper explosive devices beforehand. The government has continually delayed the report into why WTC #7 collapsed (NIST was supposed to release it in January, and it still has not). Even NIST is coming to the conclusion that WTC #7 must have been brought down by explosives.

Hey, TakeItBack, maybe it’s because one-by-one we’re realizing that none of what you say is true, that you are spewing forth what the agenda-oriented media wants you to believe, thus trying to create the news and upload opinions into the empty minds of people who otherwise would have formed their own differing opinions. This is mass hysteria at its worst. One person sees a UFO and everyone sees a UFO.
Yes, question the government, if you believe something is wrong. But, question the media also. The media is trying to lead everyone in the direction of their misguided agenda. Oh, wait, that’s the liberal agenda. Don’t question that!
The same old reasoning by the left keeps cropping up about, “how wrong the Iraq war and war on terror are”. The war has been questioned over and over. Stop beating a dead horse and get on with the next issue.

Does everyone realize that we were attacked on Bush’s watch? The planning and plotting took place while the lazy president lounged in Texas during the hot, dog days of August 2001. And now, the only bright news of the war has started to perculate up because the Democrats are back in power and ready to hold these loser neo-cons accountable. Bush and his short sighted cronies are running scared and finally are putting forth a little effort. Even the booming stock market is due to the Democrats attempts to manage the Republican caused deficts. With a clean sweep next year the Democrats will rally the country and clean up this huge mess the repubs left us.

Let me get this straight:
Bush is an idiot…but pulled off the biggest hoax in history. Bush and Cheney are getting rich off of the war….but Cheney cannot stop the Dems from cutting his Senate office budget. Right wing Bible thumpers are behind the war and control the government….but they make up less than 5% of the population. All these things are happening….despite not real evidence to support it. My answer is either produce the indesputable evidence proving these things or CLOSE YOUR mouth.

I agree with Brad. Plus, the slightly liberal mind of the media has skewed the public perception of what is going on. Yeah the war sucks, but what war doesn’t? People die in war and that is exactly what is happening. For some reason it is like all of the anti war people are crying out in confusion over all of this as if they didn’t realize when they voted to go to war at a time when our country was bloody and bruised that people would die on the front lines. People should stop expecting that it should have been a holiday and realize that a little preventative maintenance before nine eleven and before 2000 might have helped save us from where we are today.

Arrogance only breeds enemies and this administration has set America back 50 years and is currently breeding many enemies to our country. Brad is mistaken, Bush is one of the worst presidents on record. 911 was a terrible event but invading Iraq had nothing to do with Bin laden who had fled to Afghanistan. Still today it appears that everyone is in a fog as to what Iraq has to do with Bin Laden, 911 and Afghanistan. Bush Jr. was just cleaning up daddies failure from 10 years earlier and positioning the oil companies who are now making record profits at everyone’s expense.
As long as the US is arrogant to the rest of the world including our allies, the terrorist mentality will grow amongst the crazy fundamentalists of the world.

“AL-CIADA isn’t even a real terrorist organization. A group of educated doctors in England couldn’t pull off a terrorist attack and we’re to believe a bunch of guys living in a cave will be able to orchestrate some attack that not only defies logic, but the laws of physics as well. Get real people. I know the truth is painful, but come on.”
In response, I am fairly positive that nuclear weapons or dirty bombs do not defy the laws of physics (refer to the studies or Albert Einstein, ever heard of him?) It is very interesting that you would bring up logic and physics as those are the two gigantic holes in all 9/11 conspiracies (refer to the Purdue University 9/11 study as well as the aforementioned Popular Mechanics study). It is simply amazing that such cognitive dissonance would allow a person to reject the proven laws of physics because it does not fit into their “theory”. As for the logic part, i feel it is a perfectly logical assumption that anyone (muslim, islamist, christian, jew, atheist) who has intent and the necessary resources to harm our country could attempt to act on those intentions. Al Qaeda has no shortage of intent or resources, so I would love to know how an attack would defy logic. If u are one of those who feels the US is behind all of this, I won’t even waste time arguing with you. It used to be that these conspiracy theories would dissipate as they were perceived as more far-fetched as time passed.

2) You are all blinding yourselves with your Bush-hating and preventing us from defeating the worst scurge since Hitler. OBL is on th Bush payroll? Do you hear yourselves? You actually have Liberal congressmen stating it would be BAD if the surge report came back good! It’s bad if we are winning and fewer soldiers dying! Do you realize how reprehensible that is!? Please, come together and let’s defeat these people once and for all. They’ve been after us and our interests since the 70′s. It didn’t start with Bush and won’t end with him. But we need to be unified as in WWII. BTW, Obama wants to attack Pakistan to MAYBE find OBL? So, invade another country that didn’t attack us (your argument, not mine) and maybe find him.

Modern progressives need to look ‘progressive’ up. I do not think it means what these people think it means.
It means taking the war to terrorists, and it means overhauling a failed educational system, and of course tax relief for the poor. It certainly is not the repetitive and failed message of the left, which currently can claim only abortion, gay marriage and global warming (ironic, that culture of fear)as their causes. And hating Bush of course- even at the cost of common sense.
These haters are only in this because they’re upset that Clinton was proven to be a true liar, and a sorry representative of this government. It’s known in sports circles as ‘being a poor loser.’
Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. Which is exactly why Democrats continue to lose elections.

So many people blame Bush for the problems in Iraq. Unlike his Father, Bush acted on his words. Took out an evil man of power. Sadam needed to go, and I think Bush’s timing was perfect. You better bet that if we didnt invade Iraq at the time we did, Sadam would, and was supporting the terrorist to hurt us. The difference would be that we would of seen more problems here on the homeland, but instead we see it in Iraq, and other nations. Its not that we are more safer now than Pre 9/11. We are more aware, and more intelligent of what the enemy is capable of. I agree with the decisions that Bush has made and continues to make, he is a man of actions not words.

To whom it may concern, I have the right to hate these people more then most of you do. I lost my son in Fallujah, Iraq in November 04. The hardest single that ever had to do was to foregive those who killed him.
Every body should read their Bibles, I beleive that we are in the end times. The United States is not named in the bible. It is not know why but maybe it because we don’t exist or have been hit hard ie. High Air burst in the center of the US would send us back to the stone ages and doesn’t matter if the people who did are Middle eastern or home grown and end result is we are going to get hit again and it will dwarf 911. Bush made promises and lied to us, he hired clowns and listened to them and how we are screwed. We as country have failed to take out Bin Laden and his crew, they have seen this and have grown in strenght. Anything is possible I work in DC and the security around the White at times is a joke, over paid mall cops are protecting the leader of the US. Question is why would they want to take us out when Bush is doing that all on his own. No worries….John 11:25-26

Um…. Hello???? Moderationist… Get you ostrich head out of the sand. Larry Silverstein has been interviewed & has admitted that they decided to “pull” WTC 7…. Within the hour it was demolished…. Now think about it.. How long does it take to prepare a building to collapse into istelf? Espesially one that was housing FBI & the security bunker for the Mayor… Please read this—
Demolishing steel columns is a bit more difficult, as the dense material is much stronger. For buildings with a steel support structure, blasters typically use the specialized explosive material cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine, called RDX for short. RDX-based explosive compounds expand at a very high rate of speed, up to 27,000 feet per second (8,230 meters per second). Instead of disintegrating the entire column, the concentrated, high-velocity pressure slices right through the steel, splitting it in half. Additionally, blasters may ignite dynamite on one side of the column to push it over in a particular direction.
Sometimes, though, a building is surrounded by structures that must be preserved. In this case, the blasters proceed with a true implosion, demolishing the building so that it collapses straight down into its own footprint (the total area at the base of the building). This feat requires such skill that only a handful of demolition companies in the world will attempt it.
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They must get a kick out of how the media’s first reaction to disasters like the bridge collapse in Minneapolis is “terrorists”. They’re in our heads to be sure.
These people have been butchering one another for centuries – it’s what they do. The concept of western-style democracy is lost on them. No amount of aid or attempts to impose our way of life will ever work in that part of the world. They’re a primitive, tribal culture who subscribe to a religion based on intolerance.

What is any war about? Power & greed. It does not matter what side of the coin you are on when your friends and family are getting murdered. The United States Government has been Corrupt for many years and it will continue to be so as long as we let the people that run it choose to be run by deep money. On the other side of that coin, death and murder is a lifestyle and the greed and that goes with it. How can you stop people from doing this when they think it is for their god? We are sheep to our Government and they are to their leaders as well. We are all doomed to repeat the past because we don’t learn from it.

Not only appear weak, but Iraq would crumble, and the insurgents would now have an even larger area for a safe haven. Instead of being on Pakistans border, homebase would eventually be in Iraq.

Soon we may see a photograph of Pakistan’s General Musharraff along with Osama Bin Laden. Presidential candidate Barak Obama says that as Commander in Chief he would bomb Pakistan. Obviously, Pakistani military is worried. Pakistanis may be forced to join hands with their Al Qaeda Moslem brothers. With nuclear weapons in hands of these Muslims it can be a real “Mother of all Battles.”

To all the people who thing 9-11 was an inside job. Support our troops because those brave men and women are fighting for you your freedom of speech. We are at war with Islam. When we enter war we shouldn’t fight it half heartedly. We should fight it with everything that we have and then some. It is because of all these gutless politicians (mostly Liberals, some Republicans) that we are struggling against these religious zealot pieces of trash. We need to tell our senators to screw off and quit tying our soldiers hands behind their backs while they are being shot at. If we do not win this war against Islam, then sharia law will be implemented in our country and our great nation will become an Islamic caliphate. If we lose this war, all of you who hate our President, our soldiers, and our nation better not come crying to me when your head is on the chopping block, and there’s a person standing above you telling you to convert to Islam or die as an infidel. You idiotic people need to quit smoking the peace pipes and light up the war pipes. This is war, people. God Bless America. God willing, she will prevail.

Libs are often the most intolerant and hateful people I’ve ever had contact with…yet they always seem to think of themselves as the great supportors of individual freedoms. Yet if someone is a person of faith, or conservative they are always quick to judge and stereotype. Most the Libs I’ve read here or had contact with in my life are really angry and selfish individuals. I fear for the day that someone like that is running the country.

So many people blame Bush for the problems in Iraq. Unlike his Father, Bush acted on his words. Took out an evil man of power. Sadam needed to go, and I think Bush’s timing was perfect. You better bet that if we didnt invade Iraq at the time we did, Sadam would, and was supporting the terrorist to hurt us. The difference would be that we would of seen more problems here on the homeland, but instead we see it in Iraq, and other nations. Its not that we are more safer now than Pre 9/11. We are more aware, and more intelligent of what the enemy is capable of. I agree with the decisions that Bush has made and continues to make, he is a man of actions not words.

To say that 9/11 was done by the gov’t is to ignore the facts. To say that “Bush Lied, People Died” is to ignore the facts. Bill, Hillary, Edwards, Gore, Kennedy, Kerry, etc. all said that Iraq was harboring terrorists, had WMD’s, trying to build nukes, and threatening the US security by any means neccessary. If you don’t believe that, just go to youtube and watch video – VIDEO – of they themselves saying as much. Billary has has 16 years of intel reports and if anyone has to answer to the people it is her. Not only did the CLinton Admin miss Bin Laden, they lied and people died. But shut up and realize that if we leave it will get worse not only for Iraqis but the US as well. Murtha is working WITH THE TALIBAN TO WITHDRAW FROM IRAQ!!! HE is spineless and has committed atrocities in Vietnam that he can barely live with and that is why he wants to die from an attack. He wants us to leave Iraq, not because he thinks we are losing but because we are winning and the DEMS can’t afford that. They have done nothing to help unless you are in Al qaeda, then the Dems have elevated your point of view because it is theirs also. Down with Dems. Long live BUSH. Billary will lose so badly she will becaome a late-night talk show joke.

I doubt if we will see a major terrorist attack until after the ’08 elections. The Islamists do not want to give any type of boost to the GOP and are really just waiting for the Dem victories in ’08. Why attack when they can make a great deal of progress by insuring the far left takes control of our government. Then the serious, violent “blackmail” will start!

Wow, some of you people are really scary. Many of you are so very ignorant of our world geopolitical situation.
I am a recently retired veteran who worked in the Intel community and I can tell you with all certainty that the U.S. is not the terrorists. Imagine that. We are fighting an evil ideology. Believe it or not but there were over 70 acts of major terrorism against the U.S. prior to the Bush presidency. Not everything is a big conspiracy.
Please read real information and not just wild accusatory blogs and websites. Some of us have been fighting this war for decades. This administration has made mistakes in this recent chapter in this war of ideologies but as a whole they are keeping you safe so you can spout your dangerous and reckless drabble about Bush being the devil incarnate. Please try to inform yourself about the true enemy, the Islamic radicals. Your enemy is not this administration. Presidents come and go and we will soon usher in a new administration. WAKE UP.
P.S. The Japanese really did bomb Pearl Harbor and Bush had nothing to do with it.

We all know this Al-Quaeda is a phony group created by the US and Israeli governments (Dictatorships). If anything happens we know they did it against the American people and the country. We know its a lie! Their poll numbers will not go up, at all! Everone already knows about this fraud of a fake war on terror. Nobody is buying it. If a city gets bombed or whatever, we know absoulutely, it was the doing of US and Israeli governments, blatently against the American people. The real terrorists are in Wash DC. The Bush criminal crime cabal. We know Bin Laden is dead. Has been for sometime now. His funeral and burial are public knowledge in Egypt and many other countries. Our criminal media deliberatly lies to the American public on a daily, minute by minute basis. They are part of the criminal cabal. Everybody knows this. Anytime out govt or Israel start talking about another attack on America by terrorists , then we can be 100% sure that they are the ones planning and implementing it!
Dont believe the lies. Fight back. Prosecute these criminals in the public court of constitutional law. Return America to a free country, obedient to the constitution.

Spawn: I am just curious, what level of education did you attain?
IT seems to me that the biggest problem with much of your statement is in the fact that you are skilled in repeating the lunitic rantings of DailyKos and the NYTimes. OBL has been dead, and died in a Pakistani military hospital? I am amazed that this is the first that I am hearing about this. What is your source for that anyway?
But that is the sickness of radical leftist ideology. I see it all day everyday on my campus in my history department…from fellow professor’s no less. There is a disorder that is common among these radicals that always looks to hate Jews, hate Christians, and long for a return to the days of the counterculture. It is truly a personality disorder and I believe that it starts with a lack of spirituality in the individual.
At the end of the day radical Muslims and radical leftists share many traits. Hatred of America….hatred of anyone who is not a Muslim….hatred of diversity….they are like twins gone mad!!
However, what liberals refuse to get will end up hurting them the most. The fact of the matter is, when you look at the ideology of Islamists, the first thing that these thugs want is to destroy everythnig that is not 7th century Muslim in nature. Everything that radical liberals love, pornography, sex on demand, abortion, hatred of religion, multiculturalism, etc. are all the things that our enemies use as a basis to behead you and kill your family only after they rape your daughter’s and wives. That is the true nature of our enemy, and liberals….you are the first one’s that they would go after.
Spawn, once again, I ask you as a Doctor of History, where is your source coming from in regards to the points that you make? Please provide them here so we can all see them since you proclaim your words to be fact!!

I believe that this country is filled with dumb people that believe the following:

(there have been more attacks since we invaded Iraq) 3) that the media is run by Liberals (stop and look at the real deal…. there are more conservatives in media than Liberals… I bet you even believe that Ann Coulter is sane.) 4) Our rights are not affected by Patriot Act (read the text closely little minds)
You all seem to be spewing the same crap FOX puts out. You are just Parrots with no mind of your own. I’m actually more frightened of people like you… than the terrorists. You are destroying our country with your small minded stupidity. But then again, you probably think you’re a genius.

People didn’t beleve that Japan would attack Perl Harber but would rather hide there head in the sand and sit in there leasure chair.War was declared on Japan an then Germany declared war on the U.S.A. We had no choice. Even after all that happened ,there were groups of people who didn’t want the U.S. to inter into the war. Any war is HELL. But what would have happened if the United States would have said. Sorry but we don’n want to fight. I only wish that people would put there hate and politic behind them .Pull back the curtains put before them. Research those running for public office and decide what you want. Right now I have trouble finding anyone who is willing to uphold our Constution .There only thinking of power over the people and there own political butt.

To Jonathan Mosely — What do the firefighters ‘covering up’ 9/11 have to do with the fact that the event has the hallmarks of a rougue US military operation? The firefighters assiting the recovery victims would have no part in the perpetration of the crime, and to associate them with the ‘conspiracy’ is a pure aim at distraction.
The government itself is proposing a conspiracy theory. They want you to believe that 19 loosely organized people conspired to bring off the complex events of 9/11. So if you believe that only 19 people are necessary for this crime, then why would it take any MORE than 19 US military operatives? The fact that the Pentagon pushed hard for the invasion of Iraq when Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 raises my suspicions a great deal. WIthout 9/11, there would never have been an Iraq war. Now, on a daily basis, all we hear about is how dangerous IRAN is. What happened to Iraq?? I though IRAQ was the culprit? You will see over the next few weks the same nutcases pushing for an invasion of IRAN. This is what this whole episode is about.
And by the way, there’s plenty of evidence that the events of 9/11 did not unfold as we have been told to believe. stj911.org provides several well researched avenues. If you do not believe the government would harm it’s own people, why don’t you GOOGLE ‘Operation Northwoods’. The US military had an EXTENSIVE plan in the 1960′s to stage massive terror attacks against US targets and blame those attacks on Cuba in order to justify an invasion of that country. That conspiracy is REAL HISTORY, my friend.

Ok, so Bushy has a childish Freudian chip on his shoulder wanting to out-do Dad (i.e. hiring Rumsfeld, going into Iraq, etc…).
Ok, so maybe the real reason we’re in Iraq (besides being able to nah nah nahnah nah dad) is to establish a stable democracy in the middle east as a means to spread “freedom” to other muslim nations with hopes to route out terrorists along the way…
Ok, so maybe Bushy and his kronies have managed to advert attacks on our mainland for now by training…i mean keeping the terrorists at bay on foreign soil (kudos, but you cant deny that we are providing a fertile training ground for al Qaeda et al).
Ok, so maybe I dont have a point…but when is it going to end? The blank check for American lives deal is taking its toll, and a resolution needs to be thought of soon. Since when does political freedom/democracy of foreigners (let alone iraqi’s) equal greater than the lives of Americans? Get us out of Iraq…refocus strategy on combating terrorism (since there is a misconception that a W in Iraq will defeat al Qaeda), and hit terrorists hard and fast wherever they’re located (mainly Afghanistan and Pakistan…of course with their consent Obama boy)…. just my .02 common sense :D

To get into the US, all a terrorist or alien needs is a pair of feet; it is far more difficult to get into the US if you are a citizen. While allegedly fighting these people in Iraq, they come here in droves…Just because there has been no attack since 911 means nothing; they choose their own time and place. When you’re fried from some nuclear device, you won’t be worried about liberals or conservatives.

E Simon said, “Two people can only keep a secret if one of them is dead. A little secret that keeps us laughing at the conspiracy theorists.”
You are completely wrong about that. The US secrecy classification system, and the strong laws and penalties supporting it, have allowed the US military to keep large programs secret for decades, and in some cases over a century. GOOGLE Operation Northwoods. That was a plan put into place by dozens of people in the Pentagon in the 1960′s whereby the US government would stage massive terror attacks agains US targets, and then plant evidence to blame those attacks on Cuba in order to justify an invasion of that country (sound familiar)? That operation was kept in total secrecy for *40 YEARS* until it was revealed a few years ago in a book by James Bamford.

Hey peep,
Global warming is an issue? Without talking about who might possibly be responsible for this horrible event, we must understand what might be happening. My understanding of the issue is that greenhouse gases (mostly in the from of carbon dioxide), are causing the planet to overheat by inhibiting its ability to reject heat to space (or something to that effect). But what are we going to do about it? Hey, I know, let’s reduce our carbon dioxide emissions. Makes sense… except it doesn’t. See, carbon dioxide makes up only about 0.038% of the atmosphere, and the amount we are talking about changing this concenctration is very very very very very small. In most professions involving numbers, whenever you have a small amount, and you multiply it by a really small change, you say it is basically inconsequential and you throw the difference away. For example, the Sin() of a really small number, is essentially that really small number.
Now, I will say this, it is my personal opinion that global warming is nothing but a political scheme aimed at polarizing the people. As such, taxes on carbon emitting activities will rise. But besides that, I don’t pretend to know what the environment will do. In all honesty, I think anyone who claims to have a complete understanding of the dynamic atmosphere(an understanding that is essential to proclaim global trends)should be doubted. I expect and hope, however, that global warming will fade away in the next 10 years, and in the next 20 years, fears of a new, irrevocable ice age will arise.

This country is well on its way to burying itself alive. Our demise, in actuality, has very little to do with outside threats and terrorism. We are cannablizing ourselves, from within. Greed is the Number One factor in our inevitable destruction. SELL OUT TO PROFIT IN THE SHORT TERM is our government’s (which is to say Big Business’) most popular slogan. Cheap labor in house and overseas is great for profit margins, but it’s crippling in the long term. We unemploy our own people to employee others in other countries and illegals residing here. Our nation will soon become MEXICO II, filled with illiterates and those of feeble mindedness. We can’t help it- our public eduational system is in the dumpster and will remain there for many years to come.
And could someone please explain to me, as if I have the intellect of a small mindless animal, why we continue to stick our noses in everyone else’s business, if not for personal monetary gain? MOSTLY EVERYONE despises America and our piggish and cocksure attitudes. I really wish I was a teenager in the 1950′s and close to checking out of this world in the next 20 years or so. This really is a pathetic chapter in our history.

RealOH said, “Here’s the deal. We are going to get hit HARD again, and half the population will blame Bush..”
Why are going to get hit hard AGAIN? I thought having the troops in Iraq means the ‘terrorists’ will fight us there, rather than here? Why are we spending $1 TRILLION dollars if we’re going to get hard again, and the attack is imminent (as Chertoff’s gut feeling last week says)??
If there’s a second terror attack on US soil under Bush’s watch (with 9/11 being the first), yes, you’re right, the country will indeed rise up and blame the Bush Administration. It would be the logical and correct thing to do. The neo-conservative movement is finished as it is, and another terror attack would set their end fate completely in stone. This country is not going to heal until we get new leadership in Nov 08, and faith in government becomes restored. It’s as simple as that. Terror fears, recession, down stock market, all of these things will disappear once the citizens of this great country take it back by voting wisely in 2008.
Posted by: Eric | August 2, 2007, 1:46 pm 1:46 pm
Without a doubt there will be another attack one day. Will the government be able to stop it? NO. They are too worried about how to win elections to be re-elected and how to destroy the other party. The Bush administration is at very least incompetent and at most, criminal. All of the freedoms that they are taking away do not make the country any safer. It just makes its people easier to control. The war on terror is a joke. It is a bigger failure then the war on drugs.
To all of the nonsense talking Fox news listeners that helped put Bush into office, there are no democrats that would ever want this country to be attacked. As far as losing the war, the war is over and has been over for a long time. Occupation is difficult, ask the UK. The longer the occupation goes on the weaker the US becomes. Both sides are responsible for this mess and should be removed from office.
Patrick you are correct, the democrats have changed, but so have the republicans. Neither into anything any good.

Do your homework and look at who has killed more folks the U.S. or Muslims? We win hands down and that was way before 9/11.

911 WAS an inside job. There is more evidence than a 100 courthouses can hold. One simple question. Why not properly investigate 911? Because it reveals the criminals in our own government!!!

For those who never make the tough decisions, it’s easy to be right.
For those with courage to lead, it’s easy to be second guessed.
I’m glad our president is no longer swatting at flies like Clinton did and watching the poles trying to be popular. He’s a true leader, making the tough decisions. He’s not perfect, but who is?

There is a lot of terrorist chatter about “America’s Hiroshima”. The anniversary of Hiroshima is this coming Monday, August 6th. I hope to God that they do not posses any suitcase nukes that some claim have already been smuggled into this country for use!

Hey, TakeItBack, maybe it’s because one-by-one we’re realizing that none of what you say is true, that you are spewing forth what the agenda-oriented media wants you to believe, thus trying to create the news and upload opinions into the empty minds of people who otherwise would have formed their own differing opinions. This is mass hysteria at its worst. One person sees a UFO and everyone sees a UFO.
Yes, question the government, if you believe something is wrong. But, question the media also. The media is trying to lead everyone in the direction of their misguided agenda. Oh, wait, that’s the liberal agenda. Don’t question that!
The same old reasoning by the left keeps cropping up about, “how wrong the Iraq war and war on terror are”. The war has been questioned over and over. Stop beating a dead horse and move on to how this country can be made safer.

So you know – 99.9% of liberals do not believe in this 9/11 conspiracy theory. That’s like saying that all Republicans think Bush is the greatest leader this nation has ever had. What liberals DO believe, and correctly, is that this war on terror wasn’t planned well. That this current situation has been abused by the Bush administration to make money for themselves and the friends of themselves.
Most liberals want to blow the crap out of the extremists who threaten us. But we want our government to take the time to plan it out correctly so the strategy will actually work instead of putting our sons and daughters in harms way so Cheney can make some more money for his good ol’ boys club. We should have finished the job in Afghanistan. We should have focused on countries like Iran and Pakistan instead of Iraq which was all talk and being effectively contained. We could have dealt with them later if need be.
And about Pakistan, you have to be an idiot if you think that they are our friends. We should have been lobbing ordnance into their mountain ranges years ago to root out the terrorists. But wait, Bush told us that our friend Musharraf is taking care of the problem for us. Right……………..

We refuse to hold anyone accountable for their actions by invoking executive privilege at every turn.

Here’s a bit of education for everyone:
Definition of Terrorism per Wikipedia- Terrorism is a term used to describe unlawful violence or other unlawful harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians by groups or persons for political or other ideological goals.[1] Most definitions of terrorism include only those acts which are intended to create fear or “terror”, are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and deliberately target non-combatants.
Who could you place under this category? We need to be living in a world saturated by Love, Peace & Enlightenment. Humans need to learn how to live in harmony with everyone & everything before Mother Earth teaches all a lesson (& She doesn’t descriminate against anyone).

I think Bush’s war against Iraq was illegal and immoral, BUT if there is no large-scale terrorist attack in the U.S. for the remainder of his presidency, his status will certainly rise and Osama’s will fall.

In 1941 Republicans buried their dislike, if not outright hate, for Roosevelt and resolved to help the US win the war. It is time for liberal Democrats to bury their hatred for Republicans and Bush, to stop their carping about where the US fights Al-Quada and act like Americans. There are more important issues to be resolved than what party wins the next election.

Florida Man, there is so much that is wrong with your comment, I don’t really know where to begin. Please name ONE THING the Democrats have accomplished since coming into power (other than wasting time investigating Gonzales). ONE THING. I dare you…
How on earth have the Democrats done anything to make better news “percolate up” regarding the war? They bitch and moan about getting out, they hold debates and in the end, they do NOTHING. Why do you think their approval rating is lower than the President’s?
And the economy? The economy is better because of those dreaded tax cuts Bush rammed through congress his first term. See, the stock market and economy are tied to decisions made several years ago. If they weren’t, the market would be up 500 points one day and down 1000 the next. I’m guessing you’ve never taken an economics class?

One thing these left wing kooks never mention is – so 9/11 was an “inside job,” huh? So Bush sent planes to the Pentagon AND the White House to make sure we all bought it? I guess the people who whipped up this “inside job” didn’t mind themselves being killed in D.C.? Six months into his presidency, Bush worked up and executed this devious plot? All the detail – the hundreds who would have had to be involved. They just hatched this complicated plan to kill Americans and destroy America’s icons. I gotta believe the liberal nut jobs who actually believe this – don’t really believe it. Maybe they’re just trying to get us good American conservative citizens riled up. I mean, no one REALLY believes we bought off all these Arabs to do this job AND coordinated it for them? God help us if they really do believe it.

I thought that famed fighter pilot and brilliant political leader George W.Bush had taken decisive action against the terrorists about half a decade ago. Then how is it they are still producing videos announcing that they plan to destroy the White House? Surely hundreds of thousands of people, including about 3600 American service people, haven’t died in vain – or have they?
Another interesting question is why, every time the Republicans sink to rock bottom in the polls, Bin Laden comes out with a new video implying that he is going to get you if Bush and the Republicans are not around to protect you. I hope it isn’t because they are old buddies from the oil business.

My “gut feeling is” I say the 5th of August is the “Big Suprise!” The “infadel jihadies” have been planning a “American Hiroshima” for years. The 5th in America is the aniversary date that Hiroshima had a “suprise” dropped on it. Watch and see. (Original date was the 6th in Japan..in USA it was the 5th due to time difference) That would explain the 24 to 48 web notice.

For 9/11, and I’m not trying to belittle the sacrifice of so many innocents,we have only ourselves to blame. Not that we provoked the attacks… We have every right to pursue our own national interests. The fault lies with the failure to protect our citizens from the jihadis

I find the “God Willing” part the funniest (if there is anything funny about this) part of the terrorist comments. The men who are believed to have committed the recent UK bombings wrote in a chat room about their intended bombings the day before they took place, “god willing.” So, does the fact they failed mean that god wasn’t willing to blow up parts of Britain? Has god turned on his own “soldiers”? Perhaps they should reconsider their mission, or mission statement.

To everyone in denial about 9/11…judging by the comments here, many people in this country have doubts about what happened that day. Why doesn’t ABC and others take on this issue directly and consistantly? Why are they afraid to bring this discussion out into the open? Surely they can read the comments here and know that this issue is tearing us apart. So why don’t they take on 9/11 truth directly?
What is the media and government afraid of? One good, clear video of the airliner hitting the Pentagon would go a long way in shutting some of us up…where is it? What are they hiding?
Perhaps they are aware that any serious look into what happened would only result in affirmation of the truthers’ assertions.

Do you leftists read what you write? Do you have idea how you sound? My theory is that those real extreme leftists are not even Americans at all, but rather Islamists living here (or wherever) writing these things under the guise of being American. Because it is very clear that those of you who write such ridiculous things such as “Bush is responsible for the whole thing” is not an Anerican.
Either that, or someone who does believe that and is not a flaming islamist and enemy of our country, is just a complete sap.
I would rather not believe that so many Americans are saps, suckers, and fools. So I can only think that the writers of this goop on ANY of these sites are exactly the people we are fighting and should be hunting down and exterminating. The question I now have is…which of these posters IS Osama Bin Laden himself?

The United States is responding to 9/11 exactly the way most in the islamic world wanted them to respond. We are freeing them from the clutches of tyranny. The “truth”, as I see it, is that the people who support OBL’s attacks on us do so not because of anything we have DONE, but what we have NOT DONE. We have lived here in the USA for decades, beaming our easy-going lifestyle to every television and movie screen throughout the world. We describe ourselves as the country with the “white hat on”. They see our lives and wonder why, if we are as good and caring as we say we are, we have not done anything to help them.

My real concern for this country is that we did not learn the lessons we should have learned from 911. Instead of pulling together we are tearing ourselves apart. The fault lies equally on both sides of the political spectrum, and unfortunately at this time there are no candidates for president in ’08 who seem to have the qualities necessary to turn America from the path of slow self-destruction we seem bent on taking.

WWII had its share of conspiracy wackjobs, but the media of that day was patriotic, and truth based, and ignored the fools. Today the conspiracy wacks run loose, pretending they understand physics while they endlessly parrot delsuional pap. The level of denial and paranioa demonstrated by the 911 conspiracy folk here is breath taking.
Osama may indeed be dead, but it is Al Qaeda trying to fool people.
We are safe enough now at home that we have time to be entertained by conspiracy myths. But we have not been bombed succesfully despite the efforts of our enemies or the gullibility of our lefties.
For a long, difficult war, we have done pretty well so far.
I do think it is a positive that Al Qaeda is reduced to talking what is basically wrestling smack on the internet. It means they are not able to do much else.

One thing eludes “Bush Haters”. Sure some adjustments were made because our society and way of life is the target of radical religous dogma. I have served in a capacity to observe anti-Americanism both here and abroad. If you “tinhats” want the way of your couch potato selves, TV & internet viewing to drain your sensibilities, have at it. Me, I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

Obviously no one is familiar here with our recent intelligence report that came out in July of 07 which specificly states that Al Queada has manged to regroup and is just as strong as they were before 9/11. If you think that W has made us safer then you are beyond any capability to understand our foreign policy and how it has failed miserably. As of right now the war in Afghanistan and Iraq has done nothing, zilch , nada, if Al Queada has been able to regroup. If you still think that’s doing a good job then we truly are screwed.

Conspiracy theorists have listed no evidence, and are willing to discuss only one of two things at length. God does not exist or how they know the governments out to get them. They seem to be discarding one unproveable theory for another.
Never mind that consumer spending accounts for 2/3s of all economic activity in this country. Never mind that poor people wouldn’t continue to keep politician’s salaries paid. Never mind that keeping americans ignorant only helps the left whose base consists of the working poor and uneducated. Logic. Reason. “None for me” they yell.
One man claims two people can keep a secret because he read a book about a CIA plot some 40 years ago that still isn’t supported by any independent source. Seriously?

What is wrong with the mental health care system in this nation? Thousands of people running around with mental diseases so severe, they will actually spew the “9-11 inside job” crap, and none are getting picked up for an examination to determine if the are a danger to themselves or others. We as a society should work to get these people the help they so desperately need.

All you narrow minded fools and your stupid opinions sicken me. If you believe it wasn’t possible that our government performed an inside job on 9/11 and that they have some kind of credibility in the first place maybe you’ve been taking too much of your bible drug. Maybe they didn’t, maybe they did, but to dismiss the fact our government isn’t capable of such an atrocity and questioning that should place you in a mental home ignores reality (put your hands on some declassified docs from our good old government with the Freedom of Information Act)and see what they have admitted to already. Keep believing the Democrats or Republicans really are looking out for your interests. Only if you are a Corporation paying campaign bills. And for you if you don’t like it leave dummies. If you don’t want to live by the Constitution as it’s written you should leave. I want the Republic back with limited Federal powers. Take all of your socialist programs with you when you go. We have no border controls. 50 year old Infrastructure falling down in our country yet we are rebuilding Iraq and subjecting our young to die for people that hate them and always will because of the most intolerant people in the world (Religious people). Rigid right and left wingers perpetuate our countries problems by voting D or R regardless if the one with the D had a goat and the R was a dead guy. Maybe you fools pointing the finger of hate at the dope smokers ought to put down your bible, alcohol, and global warming brochures and wake up to the fact that your media is controlled and your freedom is being eroded around you while you argue about the 10 or so irrelevant talking points the corporate sponsors will allow the Presidential candidates to debate. And lets not forget how anyone running with a platform based on the Constitution and personal freedom is dismissed and eliminated from the debates eventhough they legally should be able to participate. Remember when they told us all in school that anyone can grow up an be the President. Who is stupid enough to believe that now?

Thank goodness for Brad Smith and Mare….I’m with you all the way.
1. The Fed gov’t was behind 9/11.
2. The 2004 Prez election was fixed by Diebold
3. We never landed on the moon (it was staged in the Arizona desert).
4. FDR knew about Pearl Harbor beforehand, but decided not to act in order to justify us entering the fray.
5. Lyndon Johnson was actually behind the JFK assasination.
You two are really, really smart. Don’t know what we’d do without you.

I’m amazed at some of the comments posted here. The utter irrationality of the claims of “Bush lied”…. “inside job” et al.
PUHLeez….. gimme a break….. the INTEL was bad from ALL sources…. domestic and overseas….. Sadam’s leading scientists were the ones lying to Sadam about the extent of their nuclear capability. The spooks (all of them) were tapped into the lies the Iraqi scientists were telling Sadam. That intel flowed to our Prez as well as other world leaders (even Putin). I don’t know about you, but OBJECTIVELY, I WANT a prez that acts on madmen getting nukes. Had Sadam actually had them, whether he used them or not, Prez Bush would have been negligent if he had NOT acted to stop him. Again…. BUSH didn’t lie….. the intel was bad. To the extremists that continue to spout that “Bush lied”…. well then, by that standard, so did Kerry, BOTH Clinton’s, Edwards, and MANY other leading dems (check the congressional records on who said what about Sadam on the floor of the Senate!) As to the conspiarcy nuts that spew the crap about 9/11 being an “inside job”…. you dishonor every one of those people that died on that day, after that day and who suffer the loss of their loved ones today. The same government that can’t ensure our bridges are safe enough to drive over some how has the expertise to blow up many of the world’s tallest buildings and the Pentagon within minutes of each other when hundreds, if not thousands of rational, impartial witnesses saw the devastation brought on by the TERRORISTS! If you want to be angry with anyone, be angry with those that made us their enemy by killing THOUSANDS of innocent people. Wrap your brains around the fact that sadly, too many people hate us for our freedoms because they choose to rule by force. Sadam was good at that and THE lesson we have learned from our involvement in Iraq is…. some people are not ready to live free lives. Freedom brings responsibility and too many Iraqis are irresponsible and need a tyrant to tell them when to get up in the morning, when to eat, and ultimately, when to die. We will eventually get out of Iraq. Our cuase was noble and brave and humane and just… it was simple a great idea(l) that didn’t work and the saddest part is we paid for it with the blood of our fellow citizens. They did NOT die in vain. God Bless America and ALL Americans…. even the ones that would rather hate Bush than offer any constructive thought.

Pat Tillman was in the prime of his life. he dropped an illustrious million dollar a year career that most people only dream about with fame and fortune and immediately dropped everything to go defend our country because we were “attacked”. He is literally everything that a true american hero stands for. he gave up everything to protect our country and he was killed and he doesn’t even get the honor from his country to get the truth given to his family. Is there something wrong with this picture??? Somebody’s hiding something and his family deserves the truth!
We are being lied to and if you believe these lies you are hurting yourself and your fellow americans. If the government didn’t commit these attacks on september 11th. then why did it take them 4 years to do an investigation??? isn’t that ridiculous??? Not if they comitted the crime. how come every person who supports the official story always ends up saying “you’re a nut”, or “You’re a loon” or “you’re a kook”? is there something wrong with this picture? why can’t we discuss the truth without name calling? we’re not conspracy theorist. there is a truth to all this and we want the truth, but the government doesn’t feel these questions should be answered. they don’t want to discuss the truth. well if they have nothing to hide they shouldn’t have any problems answering some questions and investigating the crime for the family of the victims. Now brad Davis is the producer of Hirsch publishing and he has created the documentary that will be aired in 2 weeks on the history channel and he is very biased and he is a liar. and popular mechanics have produced the show and they lose all credibility on debunking the 9-11 theories. but in all reality there is only one truth to all this, but it seems like our government does not want to give us the truth. There is something seriously wrong with this picture!!! Folks if they attacked us once, with no regard they’ll do it again. and if it happens again things are gonna get real ugly. I’m not gonna sit here and make a bunch of accusations, but we need to stand up and demand the truth!!!

thank you fred jones! i agree with you 100%. maybe we don’t know exactly what happened on 9/11. how can you people just believe the stories that are handed to us through the media by the government without asking any questions? especially when there are people asking the questions with the government refusing to answer or making up some BS answer that holds the feeble minded over for at most a few minutes. i’m not an expert, nor do i claim to be, on the attacks that have harmed our country. but i definitely believe that the entire world is being lied to and either they’re in on it, or they’re just as stupid as the people that think 9/11 wasn’t an inside job. you’re right, everyone, it was definitely terrorists! only the terrorists are living off of tax payers money!

I agree with the last few posts. The only people who think that ‘the terrorists’ were completely responsible for 9/11 are the same people who can’t be bothered to do any research into it.
Anyone who has done the slightest bit of research into it would see the clear evidence for it being an inside job. But of course, it’s easier to sit there with Fox News on in the background calling anyone who doesn’t watch it ‘a nut’.
You might feel patriotic by believing everything the media throws out, but it’s not. The most patriotic thing to do would be to call for the removal of the corrupt US government, which would please many people around the world and eventually stop all the hatred against America.

USAMA BIN LADEN IS WANTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE AUGUST 7, 1998, BOMBINGS OF THE UNITED STATES EMBASSIES IN DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA, AND NAIROBI, KENYA. THESE ATTACKS KILLED OVER 200 PEOPLE. IN ADDITION, BIN LADEN IS A SUSPECT IN OTHER TERRORIST ATTACKS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. (28)
When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden’s Most Wanted web page, [Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI] said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.” (29)

Pat tillman was awarded the silver star by george w. bush. the silver star is an award you receive when you are killed during a battle. five weeks after the first report that he died in a battle we find out that it was friendly fire. and then we find out that he was shot 3 times in the head from less than 10 yards away and it appears to be murder. then the white house refuses to release any information about pat tillman due to “executive privelages”. Is there something wrong with this picture??? What are they hiding???
Flight 77 allegedly hit the pentagon and the live cameras across the street at the gas station and down the road at the hotel actually filmed it “live” and the tapes were immediately confiscated by the f.b.i and never released to the public. Why can’t they just show us the plane hitting the pentagon and end the controversy??? What are they hiding???
there were dozens of witnesses stating that there were bombs going off in both twin towers before the collapse, but nobody is allowed to talk about that. Isn’t that big news??? What is really going on here? shouldn’t we be able to discuss this attack openly?
Is somebody hiding something?
flight 93 landed in pensylvania, but there was never any sign of any plane crash, wasn’t that a boeing 757 ??? Isn’t that a very big plane?
are we being lied to?
where are all the black boxes???
Why did it take them 4 years to investigate the crime? Are we all blind and just believe whatever we’re told? Shouldn’t we wonder about these things and try to find out what’s really going on here? I am by no means a rocket scientist, but i have a brain that works just like the rest of you and i hate being lied to. If we let these guys do whatever they want at our expense, i have a funny feeling if we don’t get these questions answered somebody is gonna think that they can just run all over us and force us to be their puppets. why won’t they just answer a few questions for the families of the victims?

The only republican attacks witnessed here have been towards a message- one of ‘us vs them’ against the government played by democrats.
Isn’t it ironic that the while democrats sit up and proclaim a culture of fear, they have been using one since the depression- the poor against the rich. Isn’t it also ironic that they call people nasty names, and then cry when those names are directed back at them? It would seem that ‘tolerance’ has long ago been discarded for ‘hate Bush.’ How productive.
It would seem the party faithful would be better served by leadership instead of ‘Blame Bush’ arrogants. The core constituency (the poor and uneducated) would benefit from true democratic leadership. Not the ‘vote for us because, well, we can’t think of a real reason, accept that we’re not them.’ mentality.
Liberal and conservative hypocrisy seems to run rampant.

AMERICANS are NOT likely to be posting these 9-11 conspiracy theory messages. This fiction is only believed widely in ARAB nations, such as IRAN. Nations without an independent or free press.
Iranian or other state sponsored activists are more likely to blame. They are posting messages in three formats of propaganda- Liberals are crazy and willing to believe it 100%. Conservatives are mean, but ‘willing’ to question the government. And of course that Islam is a peaceful and loving religion (which requires infidels be ‘turned by the sword’).
This same tactic of propaganda was used in Vietnam to ‘trick’ the public into thinking the war wasn’t won, as the american generals claimed. Of course the war WAS WON, according to the VIETNAMESE GENERALS who have stated publicly that the Tet Offensive was an act of desperation with only one objective- which was to discredit the claims of the american leadership. They won the war through propaganda- which was unwittingly supported by our mediaand the public. Through the practice of blind acceptance the dissenting public and media committed a grave offense, proving that just because you CAN do something doesn’t mean you SHOULD do something. 50,000+ american soldiers and the immense sacrifice of their families were voided for this crime.

Show me this international Islamic Caliphate, isn’t it in truth the PNAC doctrine of pre-eminent control of Central Asia and its energy sources, that has taken place under the guise of ‘War on Terror’? Isn’t it the industrial, banking, military complex that has seen its profits and funding rise to staggering proportions?
Reading you fools who believe in this nonsense is very sad. You have not studied history and you are indeed brainwashed.
You have not studied the 911 event in true detail, you know nothing of the Neocons desire for a ‘New Pearl Harbor’ to crank their ideological machine into reality. You are believing lies and facts based on deceptions.

Typical of the gullibility of the American media, you rarely challenge many of the claims made by our government, such as President Bush’s constant references to al Qaeda as the object of his phony “war on terror.” Why is it no one dares raise the truth that al Qaeda is a creation of the CIA? Our own government was instrumental in al Qaeda’s birth, and Bush and his lackeys and most politicians conveniently ignore this. Disgusting!

AS DHS and CIA have done little to nothing to stop them.. we can only assume again the BUSH administration is punishing the messengers and witnesses to make it look like they are more effective when in fact the USA isnt really prepared for an attack on the homeland. they are too busy attacking the witnesses to pay attention to the real cell growing and spreading all over the US. The surprize will be .. if they ever pay attention maybe President Bush or the cabinet will contact the real 9-11 witness and not the imposter.. which has yet to happen in SEVEN YEARS.

What is sad is how many people have forgotten how horriable 911 was. I just hope and pray the people in charge can twart off any future attacks. It is time for people to support the people attempting to keep us safe and stop tearing them down. If you don’t like it…move to Canada!

For all those who think the gov’t may have had a hand in 9/11 so we could attack Iraq, I have to ask you….why did they frame Bin Laden? I mean if the goal of 9/11 as to invade Iraq, why not just frame Saddam?
And if they gov’t was clever enough to stage the 9/11 attack, why wasn’t it clever enough to place WMD in Iraq? The reason most Americans don’t think W was behind 9/11 or allowed it to happen…because our gov’t just isn’t that compitent.

its 4:43 in the morning. i’ve read your thoughts. i’ve heard and considered all. now I’m giving my thoughts. I have 5 children,a grandson,a man I love and both my parents are still alive. I am an American. I will always support those who put their lives on the line for me. I am tired of people being politically correct. I am also tired of people being mean. I believe in the bible. We americans did not kill our own on 9/11. If you are an American, you are an American, you are not Mexican-American, or African-American, or Indian-American. We are one country. If not satisfied with being just an American,leave. Speak the language of the country, pay taxes, and obey the laws. If you do not like the laws, work to change them, don’t just whine. Will there be another attack? I can say I don’t know. I think there will be, but I hope not. I prepare for the worst, but pray for the best. As for the war, I would like to see the U.S. say to the World. We are pulling out our troops, turn over the terrorist. Then start bombing. So start badmouthing me now. I do not want to here about the innocent lives, we’ve lost to many. Not only on 9/11, but troops since and even before. I certainly do not want to hear about rebuilding another coutry. I don’t see Japan paying for the rebuilding of Pearl Harbor, Germany didnot rebuild France. Oh by the way, how about the rest of the world stepping up to the plate once in a while.

IMO: The bigger picture is world control – centralized world government, one world currency, and a world army.
Not just Iraq oil or Bin Laden or whatever in isolation. That’s how we’re kept of the scent – by not seeing the inter-connectedness of all these events/propaganda.

SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH A LOT OF TIME ON THEIR HANDS POSTING BLOGGING ON LIBERAL WEBSITES, ETC. The only reason you have this time is because:1. For all its faults THE GOVERNMENT HAS PREVENTED up to this point (6 YEARS!) ANOTHER ATTACK IN THE US OR ABROAD; after Clinton’s disaster response to the Embassy bombings in 1998 it only took al Qaida 2-3 years to hit again (Cole bombing, 9-11); 2. The Economy was saved in 2001 by FISCAL (DRAMATICALLY LOWERED TAXES) and MONETARY POLICY (Greenspan’s quick decisions to lower rates to almost 0%). If this had not been done all the pessimism of 2001 could have easily translated into a LONG RECESSION (or worse) that we might still be in now
THE ONLY REASON EXTREME LIBERALS CAN BLOG AS MUCH AS THEY DO is because the have a day job, have food on the table and can pay their mortgage. THINK would be very different if the economy was tanking and they were unemployed…. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IN RESPONSE TO 9-11 BUSH WOULD HAVE DONE “A CLINTON” (LOBBED A COUPLE OF ROCKETS AT GHOST TRAINING CAMPS OR BOMBED AN INNOCENT PHARMA FACTORY IN SUDAN)… THE FEAR OF 2001 would have turned into ECONOMIC MALAISE, UNCERTAINTY ALL AROUND AND WE’D BE possibly in a DEPRESSION…

A new world order is not a bad thing. In fact, for a society to reach stage II or III (Stage one is harnessing the energy of the atom- a feat accomplished by Americans) we will need to be free of international bickering and internal struggles. We will need to stand united as one world. The NEW WORLD ORDER It is the coalescing of all nations and all beliefs in harmony, under one banner. So perhaps some of you are right- Let’s hope you are and Bush is pushing for it.
But where do we want the new world order to go? Do we want Muslim totalitarian theocracy? Or perhaps the new world order should be managed by the orwellian Chinese view on communism?
Nope. Keep up the good work, President Bush. The NEW WORLD ORDER should be run by America, the only truly free bastion in all of the world. It seems we will be the only nation capable of dragging the world, kicking and screaming, into advancement.

Jon, if in fact any of this did happen, the government wouldn’t have had to actually make it happen. They only needed to activate the proper black ops groups or capable “contractors”, then sit back and allow it to happen. Would Bush or Cheney don masks and plant thermite in the basements of three world trade towers. No. Of course not. But there are some very learned people with impressive credentials that do provide some very convincing evidence to support the improbability that the towers came down from commercial airliners or could have and instead came down in a whole different manner than what we’ve been led to believe. Some of this evidence is testimony from first responders to the incident whose testimony was deleted and/or omitted from the short and sweet federal investigations that followed. Decide for yourself, but educate yourself on the subject first. Don’t just cling to what is more comfortable to believe about 9/11.

The biggest “allie” of the Al Qaeda are the extreme “left” thru-out the world! They are working in concert to destroy “free-peoples” every where! And each group thinks “they” will be victorious in the end! Al Qaeda to a “totalitarin” government ruled by the the islamic “clergy”! And the left with their “totalitarin” secular “socialism”! The common thread of each is to “dictate” to the “peoples”! And rule over them! (For the peoples own good that is.) Global warming (by humans) also fits in with the “leftist” agenda! However the plans and plots of mankind will only bring misery and pain for the whole world! Brought on by those that say no-war, and peace, peace! But have hearts full of murder, strife, and hate! Their ways are crooked and perverse! Who could never decern good from evil! But serve a Master of such things (Evil)! Because He is the (God) they serve!

So having a superior mind and intellect such people find an impulse to argue and debate about things! Why is this? (Because they serve a Master other than God.) Proving again the TRUTH of the WORD of GOD! You cannot serve two Masters! You will either LOVE the ONE and HATE the other. Or HOLD to the ONE and HATE the other! That being said I do love you as God also loves you! There is a Heaven there is a Hell! God HIMSELF made AWAY for you.( For GOD so Loved the World HE gave HIS ONLY SON to die for you!)

Flash! I just found the evil Bush’s list of all those politically active citizens who have disappeared without a trace into the black holes of the secret prisons so many tell us are everywhere.
(Drum roll please!), first name on the list is – uh – the list is blank! That has GOT to prove a conspiracy! Imprison people without their knowledge. You THINK you’re happily blogging away ranting about the evil Bush Death Star but you’re really embedded with a chip that gives you that illusion. Actually, you’re deep in a rat hole north of Baghdad (uh, wasn’t that Saddam’s embedded chip storyline? Must have had lots of extras to use up. Plus those pesky rat holes leave those poor rats homeless! Doesn’t anyone care for the rats?). What a trick! Must be a 1947 Roswell super laser dummathingie (did I get that technical term right?). If that doesn’t prove all conspiracies, the fact that Bush, against all odds, pulled off a stunning defeat for his party last year cinches it. Only someone with dictatorial powers could have done that! Black helicopters rule! Until a few moments ago, I was the very last person in our country not whacko left or whacko right. But I too have now taken a side (sorry, I won’t say which side — that’s also a conspiracy while I play double agent) so there is now absolutely no one left with an ounce of common sense! “They’ve” finally got us JUST where they want us. When someone figures out who “they” are (for sure), please blog it. Until then, I’m stocking up on tin foil (can’t have too many hats!).

ERIC ASKED:
To Jonathan Mosely — What do the firefighters ‘covering up’ 9/11 have to do with the fact that the event has the hallmarks of a rougue US military operation? The firefighters assiting the recovery victims would have no part in the perpetration of the crime, and to associate them with the ‘conspiracy’ is a pure aim at distraction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s my point exactly. The NYC firefighters and police “owned” the WTC site for weeks, looking for remains or survivors of their buddies. Therefore, we KNOW that there was ABSOLUTELY NO evidence of any “inside job” or demolition at the WTC site. The firefighters would have found DOZENS OF MILES of detonator cord in the rubble. THEY DIDN’T. They found NOTHING — NOTHING to support the 9/11 KOOKS. And they would never have cooperated with any conspiracy that murdered their buddies. However, BY NO MEANS does 9/11 have “the hallmarks of a rougue US military operation.” It has NO such hallmarks. HOWEVER, YOU PROVE MY POINT: Your argument is that you have absolutely no evidence but you SUSPECT something based on APPEARANCES. By your own admission, NOTHING about 9/11 points to anyone but Al Qaeda. You simply want to fabricate a false smear against your country. SHAME, SIR, SHAME!
Posted by: Jonathon Moseley | August 9, 2007, 8:24 pm 8:24 pm
To STEVIE: If 9/11 was “not” an inside job, then how did building #7 “fall down”?
ANSWER: First, the fact that you do not know something does not provide “evidence” of something else. It is only evidence that you don’t know something. As you should have known by now, (a) giant sections of one of the WTC twin towers tumbled off and gouged out enormous sections of the front of the building. A firefighter reported that the first 5 floors of WTC7 was MISSING on one corner back to a depth of 50 feet. (b) A firefighter reported that EVERY window on one face of WTC 7 — that is 42 floors — had flames in it. That is EVERY window on EVERY floor of WTC 7 showed flames.
What about that steal framed building in Madrid that burned for 7 days straight and never collapsed.
ANSWER: Sorry, the top half of that steel building MELTED and COLLAPSED. It burned for about 12 hours, not 7 days. But the top half of that building MELTED AND COLLAPSED from an ordinary fire. PLEASE EAT YOUR WORDS NOW.
Posted by: Jonathon Moseley | August 9, 2007, 8:29 pm 8:29 pm
Hello.
Did WTC 7 fall sideways?
Perhaps much going on today is simply prep work.
Perhaps mythology has more to do with history than most humans realize.
Perhaps we live in a universe that contains or has contained cherubim, seraphim, nephilim, sphinxes, centaurs, dragons, and more.
Perhaps you have read so called Genesis 6:1-4 and Numbers 13:27-33 in context.
Perhaps beney ha’Elohim (spelling?) had children (who have been called nephilim and giants and titans and more?) with human women before and after a flood of water that covered the earth. Perhaps stuff was taught to humans that helped lead to an increase in violence on earth in days leading up to a flood of water that covered the earth.
Perhaps history is an interesting word and we are living during an interesting time.

I am 100% positive of 2 things so far in this string of comments: 1. Nothing will bring back the towers, or the citizens of the world that died that day; I care who did it, but I and everyone else must work together now to stabilize the corruption happening here; democracy demands revolution to maintain balance; without it the words has no meaning. 2. There will be another attack on our soil.
Do we react like we did on 9/11? Or do we empower ourselves to collect intelligence and use the networking available to us to get the facts straight the first time? We can adapt like any other person on this planet. So let’s get started now, instead of waiting for the “official” report. If we can’t trust each other, we are lost.
Posted by: Justin | August 11, 2007, 11:35 pm 11:35 pm
Quoting Jon “For all those who think the gov’t may have had a hand in 9/11 so we could attack Iraq, I have to ask you….why did they frame Bin Laden? I mean if the goal of 9/11 as to invade Iraq, why not just frame Saddam?”
Why attack one country when you can attack two at twice (or more) the price?
Only, this war is being funded by us, the citizens, not our leaders. Just remember 2 things……..money, and political capital (worldwide political capital, I’m talking). If you can do that and not worry about anything or anyone else, then you are going to make a LOT of money as a politician.

E Simon, I don’t think we have to drag the Arab world kicking and screaming into the 21st century. They have embraced technology along with us. Their human rights could use alot of help, where is the UN in that effort? Women are second class citizens there, girls as young as 13 are forced into marriage and, because we don’t want to offend anyone’s religion or state laws, we, as a supposedly civilized world ,allow it. When the UN stops world hunger and helps secure basic human rights for all the world’s citizens, then it can be admired as an institution.

LOL people here who doesnt believe it is inside JOB dnt know how it is an inside JOB.
it is an inside JOB , that they knew it is coming and let it “pass”.
thats one thing..
Another thing is the lack of explanaiton of the weird way the buildings collapced , and WTC7 .. and the bom bom bom many people heared inisede
and how the towers fell like controled demoliton etc
and do u know how hard it is for a pilot to hit such building from afar?
one digree he ll miss the building..
the planes point hit and ever mussied .. like controlled or guieded “like auto pilot guieded by laser”
and all that skills they got from what? new learners? who used flight manulas?
this target hit needs training military training, on the huge scale and the long distance it is like hiiting a needle.
and all evaporated.. and all what u have is a list of passengers… and what ur government say .. like iraq lie!

Posted by: just woke up | August 17, 2007, 8:46 pm 8:46 pm
I think that the fact that Al Qieda has to scare us by threatening attacks and not actually by doing attacks means that are incapable of launching another attack. Of course, if Bush hadn’t lowered security at airports just prior to 9/11, they wouldn’t have been able to do that attack either.
It is probably a good thing for us that the Bush administration now feels that it is in their interest to only scare us about possible terrorist attacks and not actually allow more to succeed.

country in order to find out who did
this 9/11. The way they tell us, is that
one bearded man OBL in a cave did all
this harm, all in one day and our de-
fense department of $900Billion & many
Millions of state department employees
could not stop it, just only watch it?
Bush did continue on reading a story to
the kids in that school after he was
told USA on attack?
Are you seriously blaming us for not
attacking, killing, bombing, when we do
not have 100% proof that they did this?
That makes us the terrorists, cause we
have no proof of Iraq of anything.
Is this the UNITED states, or am i in a

osama bin laden is dead. he has been for several years. he never admitted he was a part of 9-11. don’t you remember right after 9-11, he denied it. the confession tape is a phony. our government is solely responsible for these crimes, but they will never admit it. they are mass murderers and they understand the consequences if they get prosecuted. If the government was not responsible and an actual 757 did hit the pentagon all they would have to do is release the video that was confiscated from the gas station across the street, but that evidence has been long destroyed. Why was Pat Tillman murdered and why did George W. Bush award him the silver star (which means he was killed in battle)? Why were there dozens of witnesses claiming that there were bombs going off in each tower, yet none of that was openly talked about it on any newscast. Why can’t we come out in the open and openly discuss this like grown men and women. the reason is because the government is hiding the truth from us. we should stand up and demand the truth regardless of whether you believe the government or not. don’t you hate being lied to? Most people can’t handle the truth because it is very devastating, but we all have to live together and we might as well get to the bottom of this because our government is threatening to attack us again and claim martial law and they will try and take all of our freedoms away and their will be a revolution and it will be a very bloody battle unless we unite together to stop this madness.

I agree 9/11 should be investigated “again”. This time back to the years of Clinton! And also to the Jimmy Carter years! What was the connection between Carter and the Komeini (misp), of Iran! Remember Carter had the Shaw of Iran overthrown and now we have the radical Islamist in charge threatining the west and supporting “terrorists”! Clinton did nothing but stir-up “hatred” of the world against America by bombing an asprine factory and killing “only” innocent men,women and children! Not “one” terrorist”! Clinton was helped indirectly and directly by the communist state of China in his second bid to be president! It was a Chinese communist Colonel that wrote a book on “How to defeat the western world”! Of which Al Qaeda has been following closely. Clinton gave away “for a small sum” the harbor of Long Beach in Calif to China! Jimmy Charter gave away the Panama Canal were now 50’000 to 100,000 Chinese’s have replaced US armed forces! We have lefty’s in this country saying the “same things” as Al Qaeda! And Al Qaeda saying the same things as many democrats! They (Democrats)are and have been for sometime a “comfort to the enemies” of the west! And only discouraging words to those in defence of America! In fact saying the president “lied” about WMD’s! All the while “THEY ARE THE LIARS”! Sowers of hatred and “perception,deception, formulation” with all their “coherts” in the mass media!! Let US investigate indeed and “circumstantial” evidence leans at present proveing the “leftist” are NOT patriots of America. But indeed an anathema to it!

To induce fear into the masses is the easiest way to control them. Example: The terrorists are going to get you…hence the “Patriot Act”. This infringes upon the rights of all Americans, yet most do not oppose it, because they “feel” safer. Guess what, your not. The war on terrorism may as well be a war against hurricanes…you can’t organize an effective defense. They are too spread out, and strike randomly. All any of us can do is just continue to live, and be prepared for the worst. All fear mongering does is make it easier for those who are in power to exert their influence in a subtle way…by taking away our rights, we are leaving ourselves open to be manipulated by corrupt politicians, and unable to live a truly free, AMERICAN lifestyle. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
