"To retaliate? Or should it have turned the other cheek? Or maybe just gone all out for hearts and minds across the middle east. Fighting hatred with love and charity?" Have you ever seen three days of the condor with Robert Redford? The line by the cia guy at the end pretty much sums up the middle East problems | |||
"Everyone please remember, it's the politicians and corporations that make war and cause the strife. Not the people of the country's. But it's always the people that seem to pay the price." definitely no politicians in 4 platoon. just full of peoples. | |||

"Everyone please remember, it's the politicians and corporations that make war and cause the strife. Not the people of the country's. But it's always the people that seem to pay the price." "Bush's elected because of Florida's controversial result" No majority No Mandate Total U.S. fatalities in Afghanistan: 2,238 Total Allied fatalities in Afghanistan: 3,393 Number of civilians Unknown 14 years, billions of pounds spent and no lasting change made, not a good result IMHO | |||

"What America wanted was a card. A playing card like the Jews have the Holocaust so they can use it as an excuse to do what ever they want and nobody to question their motives or actions. But it backfired on them big time. By now most of the world believes that 911 was not caused by some goat herder's who live in caves. America has used 911 and the "Islamic terrorists" which it created to wage wars in other countries and yet together with the UK has not been accountable for anything. Around 3,000 people died on 911 but since 1990 4 Million muslims and counting have been killed due to western wars not to mention over 10 million wounded. The west doesn't even batter an eye lid at those figures yet we are expected to remember 3,000 every year on 911? Bullshit." I think you will find if you look closer that most of these 4 million Muslims were killed by Muslims in wars, mostly civil, that had nothing to do with the west. The west has been used by it's enemies how ever, for the blaim. I'm not saying that the west has no blame but we are far from the cause of most deaths in the world. | |||

"I dont believe it. Usa did the whole thing and blamed the terrorist so they could go to war against them." Believing something is your choice but having an opinion is just that,you need facts to back it up. Too much evidence to show it was what it was | |||
"the giant cross that just fell on mecca says yes. I'm not so sure " For all the God squaddies ( of what ever diety) I wondered what they would make of that? I am sure the extreme Christian sects will have a smug grin on their faces | |||

"To retaliate? Or should it have turned the other cheek? Or maybe just gone all out for hearts and minds across the middle east. Fighting hatred with love and charity?" 911 was the most atrocious atrocity of modern time who could argue with anyone wanting to retaliate to that !!!! | |||
| |||
"Cross or crane?" in its non collapsed state it was in a cross shape. | |||
"Cross or crane?" Fundamentalist Christians will say it's a sign from God. Fundamentalist Muslims will probably say the crane was built in the west and was deliberately built to fall on Mecca. It'll be used to fuel someone's ideology. | |||
"To retaliate? Or should it have turned the other cheek? Or maybe just gone all out for hearts and minds across the middle east. Fighting hatred with love and charity?911 was the most atrocious atrocity of modern time who could argue with anyone wanting to retaliate to that !!!!" I would argue that it was the most televised, not the "most atrocious". Was it worse than this: The Rwandan Genocide was a genocidal mass slaughter of Tutsi and moderate Hutu in Rwanda by members of the Hutu majority. During the approximate 100-day period from April 7 to mid-July 1994, an estimated 500,000–1,000,000 Rwandans were killed. Or worse because we watched westerners die? | |||

"Certainly kept the defence industry going after the end of the cold war..." Agree. Its quite convenient how the West 'invents' a war every few years. Helps road test new weapons systems. Makes the defence industry mega-bucks | |||

"To retaliate? Or should it have turned the other cheek? Or maybe just gone all out for hearts and minds across the middle east. Fighting hatred with love and charity?" They didn't retaliate though, they invaded a country that had nothing to do with it and escalated a terror war. Retaliation would have been invading Saudi Arabia. | |||

The point was that oil was so crucial to everything that nobody will bother about how it's secured, just that it's secured. | |||
"I think the truth is known. It's just that some people need there to be a massive conspiracy so they can call other people sheep." . But the truth isn't known is it! The 911 report didn't even get the right 19 hijackers correct and when it was pointed out that two of the 19 were currently still flying planes for Saudi airways, they didn't even feel it necessary to reinvestigate! It certainly didn't highlight how they funded there operation or managed to evade detection, just that there was inter departmental errors!... You would imagine that the world's biggest crime, committed live on tv and that instigated so much military action would have been massively investigated, every I dotted, every clue followed. You'd be of course totally wrong! | |||

"[Removed by poster at 12/09/15 19:52:02]" if it had been a light plane fair enough but two jet linnets no | |||
"How come if Russia planes come into UK or Scotland area we have fighter's in the sky no problem seeing them off but the USA let planes that went off course they did not take them down at the time USA .British government is ruled by the USA its all about USA making money from war " Er. OK then I'll do a bit of air defence strategy for dummies. Russian MILITARY aircraft invade (or come close to) UK air space. RAF are scrambled to intercept. United Airlines takes of from Boston to LA probably two three four, or more times a day. One strays off course and heads towards NYC. By the time anyone in Air Traffic Control even notices that anything is wrong it's too late. Boston to NYC is less than 30 mins flying time, depending on the exact position of the aircraft at the time of the hijacking it could have been as little as five minutes. Try spotting a problem, scrambling aircraft, and intercepting in that time. | |||

"The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the technology magazine Popular Mechanics have investigated and rejected the claims made by 9/11 conspiracy theories. The civil engineering community accepts that the impacts of jet aircraft at high speeds in combination with subsequent fires, not controlled demolition, led to the collapse of the Twin Towers. This also was the conclusion of the 9/11 Commission, chaired by Governor Thomas Kean I do love wiki...id rather take my lead from there than some fictional movie...made by actors...and with lines written for them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_conspiracy_theories" ... Yes Wikipedia is very interesting The US administration, CIA and FBI received multiple prior warnings from foreign governments and intelligence services, including France, Germany, the UK, Israel, Jordan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Morocco and Russia.[5][31] The warnings varied in their level of detail, but all stated that they believed anAl-Qaeda attack inside the United States was imminent. British Member of ParliamentMichael Meacher cites these warnings, suggesting that some of them must have been deliberately ignored.[32] Some of these warnings include the following: March 2001 – Italian intelligence warns of an al-Qaeda plot in the United States involving a massive strike involving aircraft, based on their wiretap of al-Qaeda cell in Milan.July 2001 – Jordanian intelligence told US officials that al-Qaeda was planning an attack on American soil, and Egyptian intelligence warned the CIA that 20 al-Qaeda Jihadists were in the United States, and that four of them were receiving flight training.August 2001 – The Israeli Mossad gives the CIA a list of 19 terrorists living in the US and say that they appear to be planning to carry out an attack in the near future.August 2001 – The United Kingdom is warned three times of an imminent al-Qaeda attack in the United States, the third specifying multiple airplane hijackings. According to the Sunday Herald, the report is passed on to President Bush a short time later.September 2001 – Egyptian intelligence warns American officials that al-Qaeda is in the advanced stages of executing a significant operation against an American target, probably within the US. | |||

"The 9/11 Commission Report concluded that pre-attack warnings of varying detail of the planned attacks against the United States by al-Qaeda were ignored due to a lack of communication between various law enforcement and intelligence personnel. For the lack of interagency communication, the report cited bureaucratic inertia and laws passed in the 1970s to prevent abuses that caused scandals during that era. The report faulted the Clinton and the Bush administrations with "failure of imagination."[33] Very interesting indeed " topical Americans thought they were untouchable they learned the hard way | |||

"The so called retaliation was anything but. It about securing oil. Bur there is no oil to in Afghanistan, so how does that work?" Ah a minor detail | |||
"9/11 ?? Obv this was Americas own doing !! Theres absolutely NO CHANCE of their air space being invaded n they cant do anything about it. Reason to invade Iraq wasn't it" 9/11 was never used as a reason to invade Iraq. No evidence had ever existed, real or false, that links Sadam with 9/11 or the terrorists behind it. 9/11 was used to justify invading Afghanistan. The question as to whether invading Afghanistan was right depends on what you mean by right. The US definitely had the right to invade Afghanistan under Article 51 of the UN charter. That's a simple fact of law. Wad it the right or best thing to do? That's more difficult to answer. | |||

" There's no source given for the claim that Cheney was solely in charge of NORAD on 9/11, which is a pity as it seems a little implausible that he'd be running everything from his White House office. Perhaps you can supply more details: " There's plenty of evidence to proof it was an inside job " | |||
"I think it was an in house job, it was too clinical " Elaborate please, first by explaining what you actually think happened, then how you think they achieved it and finally by providing some real evidence to back it up. | |||

Around 3,000 people died on 911 but since 1990 4 Million muslims and counting have been killed due to western wars not to mention over 10 million wounded. The west doesn't even batter an eye lid at those figures yet we are expected to remember 3,000 every year on 911? Bullshit." I understand what your getting at with the playing card issue.. However has anyone given a thought to the servicemen and women ( yes I was one) dragged into this and our country lost over 4318 servicemen and at least 5 of them were women. War isn't pretty on either side.. but a politician Will never accept responsibility for their actions nor justify their reasons. I guess unless any of us were in that room when bush and Blair made the decision to strike. . I guess we will never know. | |||
" 9/11 was never used as a reason to invade Iraq. No evidence had ever existed, real or false, that links Sadam with 9/11 or the terrorists behind it. 9/11 was used to justify invading Afghanistan. " Although evidence of a link between Saddam and 9/11 was probably never asserted - it does appear that some prominent U.S politicians promoted the idea of connections between Saddam and Al-Qaeda prior to the Iraqi invasion. We in the UK, however, were motivated by different dossiers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein_and_al-Qaeda_link_allegations Bush Reasserts Hussein-Al Qaeda Link President Draws Distinction Between Involvement in 9/11 Attacks, Other Contact http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A48970-2004Jun17.html Saddam 'had no link to al-Qaeda' http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/5328592.stm US Attacked Iraq Based On False Report Of Saddam Hussein's Ties To Al Qaeda: Sen.

"I watched earlier this evening about the other plane that doesn't get as much media as the 2 that crashed into the twin towers, this is the transcript in the credits: Military commanders were not notified that United 93 had been hijacked until 4 minutes after it had crashed, the nearest fighter jets were 100 miles away. Yes i know a lot was going on that day but you would have thought air traffic control would have noticed something? " Yeah its called mass distraction, when I saw the first plane hit, there was a good bit of time before the second, enough time for someone too notice the flight path had changed course. Then the pentagon your telling me that the usaf missed that one coming, if a ufo was in the area the usaf would have fighter planes scrambled in the air too intersept the objects. United 93, was another tool to help American administration get the backing too go into Iraq and Afghanistan. God bless the men and women, and those family's that suffer loss due to a pointless war | |||

And then move any obstructions for the attempt to succeeded (NORAD, CIA,FBI SECRET SERVICE, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE REPORTS) you know if you were to have said that the us government was involved in regime change in central America by trading cocaine for weapons to prop up guerrilla warfare (guerrillas that had rape camps I'd add) and that the whole thing was done with the aid of Israeli and Iranian help and you could do it under the smoke screen of us hostages and then even when your caught red handed, not to worry as the vice President (George bush) who later became president can pardon you all anyway!

"Can I remind people about the THIRD tower that collapsed - though nothing hit that - several hours after the Twin Towers were hit? How do people explain that one? that's a different thread. " No more than an extension than talk of it being an inside job, I'd suggest, but moving away from your original question, I'll admit. Coming back to your OP, there is no way Americans will ever entertain the idea that they handled things the wrong way. That they have is pretty evident to the rest of the world. And how to handle things now? The power vacuums left throughout the Middle East have been a result of America's bellicose and interfering response to 9/11, a response that now threatens to destabilise most of the Middle East. If Edward Snowden is right it's been done all rather deliberately to create the current mess | |||

"The US was totally aware that prominent members of the Saudi Royal family were behind the funding of 9/11, yet they still to this day refuse to admit this to the American electorate.....it's all about the oil." The USA has a history of backing and attacking the wrong people all over the world. It is not so much about the oil as so many people think. It is about access to markets for US business. The USA will prop up the most repressive of regimes and topple the most liberal and progressive of countries if it gets their businesses unregulated access to and control of markets. The Republican party will even paralyse their own country if US business is threatened by regulation. | |||

"To retaliate? Or should it have turned the other cheek? Or maybe just gone all out for hearts and minds across the middle east. Fighting hatred with love and charity?" 9/11 came up in conversation at a dinner party this week. Two guests, a chartered surveyer and an engineer both said 'there was no way that the towers should have collapsed because an airplane hit them! Another guest, a social historian, said that Al Kaida did not have the technological infrastructure to mount such an attack at the time. The engineer, who had spent most of his career working in the Middle East then said that the Arms industry. was one of the biggest businesses in America and that War was good business. Had not thought too deeply about this before and normally give short shift to conspiracy theorists, but food for thought at the same time as well as being a little bit too scary to contemplate ! | |||

A recent 9/11 conspiracy thread on here split people's opinions into two groups. There were those who believed the officially reported version of events and subsequent enquiry and there were those who believed this was a pre-planned Government led attack on it's own people. The very idea that a Government would murder it"s own citizens in such a way is just too much for most people to comprehend so it's easier to believe the official line. There is overwhelming evidence, publicly available if you choose to look for it, that completely discredits the claim that it was a terrorist attack. I've personally looked into this in great detail and have a few questions for the conspiracy theorist bashers. Why did Larry Silverstein take out a massive insurance policy out 2 months before the attack which just happened to include terrorist attacks? Bear in mind he went to court to argue that there should be two separate payouts for each tower, totalling nearly £7 billion. Why did hundreds of people who were in the towers that day all report hearing explosions? Over 100 New York firefighters all reported hearing detonation blasts. There was a massive explosion in the lobby of Tower 1 BEFORE any plane hit the building. This explosion was reported by staff and firefighters, a lot of whom sustained injuries from that blast. Why could they not find 3 of the 4 flight recorded from the flights? Bear in mind that these are made from the strongest materials known to man. But they managed to find two of the hijackers passports in the rubble within 3 hours of the plane hitting. Why was the plane which supposedly hit the Pentagon completely vaporised into thin air? Incidentally it just happened to hit the only part of the Pentagon which was undergoing renovations. This conveniently obliterated the only part of the building which held crucial information on the missing 2.3 trillion dollars Donald Rumsfeld had spoken about the day before. I could go on, all the information is there in the public domain. Was it a Jack Nicholson line?.... Why can't we have the truth?.... Because you can't handle the truth! All I can say is, if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything! Peace x | |||
