Ohhhh, that’s a low blow…if you really want to be this nasty maybe sending it to Clinton would make this panel more accurate…
MexicanCommunist said, about 1 year ago
why?
motivemagus said, about 1 year ago
Yeah, that’s what the Bushies would like you to believe. Fact is, even if you decide to blame Clinton for 9/11, it’s Bush’s fault that we went to Iraq instead of after OBL. And before you say he’s hard to find, we dug up Saddam, who had a couple of dozen palaces and an array of stand-in look-alikes, and was hiding in a hole. Why not find OBL? Three possible reasons I can see: (1) they don’t really care, they just wanted an excuse to go into Iraq; (2) they like having a boogeyman out there to justify their ripping apart the Constitution; (3) they’re incompetent. Normally I’d go for (3), were it not for our success in finding Saddam…

I’ve watched a lot of documentaries about 9/11. There is too much evidence that suggests anything else but the events were an inside job by our own government. Silverstein, the WTC owner, admitted “Yeah, we pulled building no. 7.” The mayor of Shanksville, Penn. says,”This was no plane crash.” And Kennedy’s head goes jolting backwards as his brains spill out the back of his head. The same folks who produced 11/22/63 brought you 9/11.

PDB: Bin Laden determined to attack the US! W was too busy clearing brush in TX and Condi was buying shoes. The documentation is all there.

Me thinks some here are watching way to many Oliver Stone conspiracy flicks… so many that now you can’t tell reality from fiction any longer….
motivemagus said, about 1 year ago
I agree with Machado on the conspiracy front. All the 9/11 conspiracy claims I’ve seen are demonstrably false. And the Kennedy “head snaps back” thing is actually well explained by the entry point for the bullet; there’s a reflex reaction to stimulation in certain nerves, and it hit him there. Snopes.com is invaluable for those of us who don’t quite believe this stuff and want the evidence.

It’s not to clinton that the intelligence reports went to in august 2001 saying that OBL was cooking something.

“It’s not to clinton that the intelligence reports went to in august 2001 saying that OBL was cooking something.”
No but it was the BOMBING OF THE WTC IN 1993 that maybe should of made the lightbulb glow above his head. Jeez…do liberals even know anything past 8 years ago?

TGS: Mixing facts again, just to justify a bogus point of view…
WTC parking bombing in 1993 had NOTHING to do with 9-11 and OBL.
Next, you are going to say that Timothy McVeigh was an Al-Qaeda sleeping terrorist…
charliekane said, about 1 year ago
TGS: We caught those guys and tried them. A little more positive result than we got with GWB’s boot of Afghanistan, and that Iraq war thing.

Yup Mach, make a joke, dismiss a valid point with a joke about ‘the liberal media’ If you look… you can find the August 6th PDB just about anywhere.

Did you REALLY just say that Al-Queda and OBL had nothing to do with the 1993 WTC attacks!? REALLY!?
Wow…..that’s just…that’s just…WOW!
You hereby automatically lose any arguments you will ever have with me from now on.

“WTC parking bombing in 1993 had NOTHING to do with 9-11 and OBL.”
Ohhhhh nooooo. Now you’ve done it. Now you’ve OFFICIALLY allowed us to see how truly uninformed you are for thinking/saying such a ridiculous comment. I was going to post a link to provide EVIDENCE and PROOF that it has everything to do with 9/11 and OBL, but there are just so many sources. Simply type in “Ramzi Yousef” and “1993” and pick any article you find. Find facts before you ramble.

I’m going to have to chime in with TGS and DndrMffln on this one…that line is just completely wrong in a number of ways.

1993 WTC Bombing:
“…The attack was planned by a group of conspirators including Ramzi Yousef, Mahmud Abouhalima, Mohammad Salameh, Nidal Ayyad, Abdul Rahman Yasin and Ahmad Ajaj. They received financing from Khaled Shaikh Mohammed, Yousef’s uncle. In March 1994, four men were convicted of carrying out the bombing: Abouhalima, Ajaj, Ayyad and Salameh. The charges included conspiracy, explosive destruction of property and interstate transportation of explosives. And in November 1997, two more were convicted: Yousef, the mastermind behind the bombings, and Eyad Ismoil, who drove the truck carrying the bomb.
Ramzi Yousef, born in Kuwait, began in 1991 to plan a bombing attack within the United States. Yousef’s uncle Khalid Shaikh Mohammed Ali Fadden, who later was considered “the principal architect of the 9/11 attacks,” gave him advice and tips over the phone, and funded him with a US$660 wire transfer.
Yousef entered the United States with a false Iraqi passport in 1992. Police found instructions on making a bomb in the luggage of Yousef’s partner Ahmed Ajaj. The name Abu Barra, an alias of Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, appeared in the manuals. Yousef’s partner was arrested on the spot for his false passport and his bombmaking instructions. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) holding cells were overcrowded, and Yousef, claiming political asylum, was given a hearing date.
Yousef set up residence on Nicole Pickett Avenue in Jersey City, New Jersey, traveled around New York and New Jersey and called Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, a controversial blind Muslim cleric, via cell phone. After being introduced to his co-conspirators by Abdel Rahman at the latter’s Al-Farooq Mosque in Brooklyn, Yousef began assembling the 1,500 lb urea nitrate-hydrogen gas enhanced device for delivery to the WTC. He ordered chemicals from his hospital room when injured in a car crash - one of three accidents caused by Salameh in late 1992 and early in 1993.
El Sayyid Nosair, one of the blind sheik’s men, was arrested in 1991 for the murder of Rabbi Meir Kahane. According to prosecutors, “the Red” Mahmud Abouhalima, also convicted in the bombing, told Wadih el Hage to buy the .38 caliber revolver used by Nosair in the Kahane shooting. In the initial court case in NYS Criminal Court Nosair was acquitted of murder but convicted of gun charges. (In a related and followup case in Federal Court, he was convicted). Dozens of Arabic bomb-making manuals and documents related to terrorist plots were found in Nosair’s New Jersey apartment, with manuals from Army Special Warfare Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, secret memos linked to Joint Chiefs of Staff, and 1,440 rounds of ammunition. (Lance 2004 26 )…”
So, Idiots, where can you find “Al-Qaeda” and “OBL” in this article?
There is only one circumstantial reference about 9-11 against one of the financists, but nothing else…
You are free to swallow all the bovine excrement your Republican Governments put in your throats, but do not force us to do the same…
ConservativeBob said, about 1 year ago
Once again Alexus. You are simply just wrong about what you’ve said. TGS points it out but went off the handle and started insulting but he’s not wrong.
If one of the financers of the attacks is a member of Al-Queda which was funded by Bin Laden how could either of those two NOT be a part of the attacks in 1993?
