What are your thoughts on five years ago?
Here's a contrast I can't get my mind around.
On 9/11/01:
Millions of people couldn't imagine ANY explanation other than "those
goddamned islamic terrorists!" It seemed like it was a natural progression
-- the logical conclusion, and it was the ONLY explanation.
On 9/11/06:
A significant portion of the free world, as well as more than "just some
nutjob conspiracy theorists" in the USA are _entertaining_ the possibility
that there might BE AN explanation other than "those goddamned islamic
terrorists!"
Without unfairly lumping Mr. Wager with me, I will lump myself with him as
I second his confusion and consternation at how MUCH we can do and how
LITTLE we can do in the same period.
Never has there been a more expeditious disaster cleanup than 9/11.
Never has there been a more disastrous one than after Katrina.
Concentrated search: Saddam.
LESS concentrated search: Osama.
I guess it all depends on where your priorities are.
The fact that intelligent, rational people are even entertaining the
possibilities -- what else can we do when NO explanations are given for
such incongruity of government concentration -- is troubling. Hey, that
reminds me, where is that Pentagon footage -- which , if it shows a plane
clearly hitting the building would put the WHOLE issue to rest -- that was
supposed to be released?
No matter how you slice it, the events of 9/11 WERE the result of a
carefully orchestrated AND "successful" conspiracy. What's more likely:
1) that a very organized, nefarious US Government faction -- the members of
which who had inside access to the buildings, planes, airports involved --
organized it
OR
2) 19 inept terrorists did?
I'd love it if there were satisfactory answers given to the dozens of
unanswered questions about 9/11. The fact that they continually are NOT
supplied must lead one to think that the reason there is a lack of supply
is that the actual answers would implicate the "good" people and exculpate
the "bad" people. At the very least, there must be evidence of complicity,
co-operation or inaction.
