I think you are saying that this never happened, or perhaps that they were not high-fiving. They were, it's a fact, and it is a matter of record. No one denies this happened, the Israeli government denies they were Mossad, but that is all. The rest is history.
Here is a link to an ABC report circa 2001

This event is in no ways a "conspiracy theory" if by that you mean, as most people do, crazy, stupid and wrong. It happened. Every data point in the whatreallyhappened article is verifiable and came from press reports. These men were arrested. Two of them we KNOW were Mossad, the company did close up and leave within days. Draw your own conclusions, I am sure that you will.
And please spare us the Manjooian amateur psychology. Jesus, he presented his little article like "bias" is news or something. And if you read his article, it's pretty plain, that everyone "suffers" from this and the knife cuts both ways Paul, if I am biased, then so are you. The trick is to be aware of our biases and act accordingly.
My bias on 911 was shock and disgust, and yes I was pissed at Bin Laden. The difference between you and I is that the mountain of evidence shifted my position.
I am getting tired of the "incompetance" argument. How could Bush lower taxes, he's too stoopid, how could Bush fight a war in Iraq, he's too stoopid, how could Bush fly a plane, he is too stoopid. The attack on America that day was a supra-national attack, not purely a domestic one. Bush is a bit player, an actor, a dupe, a patsy.
Do you think that I believe that Bush did it? Personally? Why do you make assumptions about what I think? Bias maybe? He has people for that. I don't think that Bush did it, I believe tha elements in your government did it, in cooperation with elements in Israel, that there was coup that day, and Bush was given the choice. This goes a long way in explaining Air Force One's 6 hour flight of the bumble bee all over the US that day. And you have probably forgotten the story, officially announced at the time, that Air Force One was at risk, as someone had the codes.

I ask again. Where were the interceptors? Could Bin Laden make NORAD stand down?

Now go look up the Lavon Affair. And if you don't know about it, Project Northwoods.
I have no opinion on the availability of condoms in Colonial America, I suspect they had something...
I did find this though, the world's oldest condom! From Sweden!

And to keep this on topic, does anyone know Obama's position on condom use?
Yes, what would Binny know? He's only the former PM and one of the most experienced, powerful and influential politicians in Israel.
Name calling? Responding in kind is more like it.
And now I am a Nazi? Wow, sieg heil!
Still waiting for your explanation about the super powered jet fuel...
Your responses are funny though!
Thank you for the polite and well reasoned response. The attack on 911 will go down in history, if there is one, as one of the most seminal events of the last 100 years. And as such a new investigation is demanded. Discussion, is required. Both sides must be heard, not ridiculed and attacked, that is not the way to the truth, whatever it is.
I don't "know" what happened that day. I will admit that. There are many problems with alternative explanations for the events of that day. I know that very well.
Our problem is that the investigation was, I think we can both agree, inadequate. Facts, are thin on the ground, and the WTC steel was sent to China.
As for "our" meaning the "truthers'" investigation, we are hampered, almost crippled by our inability to suponea, to read classified material (and everything is now classified), or to examine other evidence in a professional effective manner.
Having said that though, there are so many problems and indeed physical impossibilities in the official version, that I simply cannot believe it.
And no, a false flag attack is orders of magnitude more difficult than lowering taxes, but he, along with his people, do run America, which I am sure is a little complicated. And they have been brilliant, absolutely brilliant, at shutting down the constitution, the apparatus of government, and controlling the press and the debate. I think that they were superb at getting their mission accomplished. They got Afghanistan, they got Iraq, and yes, it was a bit more than they could chew, but they are still there, the bases are built, and the oil is flowing. Bush has also succeeded in making himself a virtual dictator, (see nspd 51, the "unitary executive" an the signing statement inter alia)
The PATRIOT Act, a 1000 page piece of legislation, was tabled about a month after the attacks. That's mighty fast law writing. They were ready. They knew.
All they needed was a "new Pearl harbor" and they got that. LIHOP or MIHOP, for me that is about the sole remaining question.
Don't be so quick to condemn. It may be that someone in the towers was cooking rice that day, that would "explain" the black smoke. Oxygen? Oxygen! We don't need no stinkin oxygen!
