Reply #189: "we WERE attacked by insane religious thugs"

[petgoat]

And you know this how?

When Bush demanded that Taliban turn over Osama, Taliban quite rightly asked
to see the evidence that he had been involved in 9/11. Instead of evidence,
Bosh gave them air strikes.

Colin Powell promised a White Paper would be produced outlining the evidence.
It was never produced.

The alleged hijackers who were allegedly fanatical Muslims drank alcohol, did
coke, rented porno videos, got lap dances, and gambled. Atta's girlfriend was
a stripper. And the fact that six of them have turned up alive is ignored in
the US media.

You dignify the OV as a "consensus reality" and invoke the millions who believe
it to try to legitimize it. The OV is a story full of holes and outright
falsehoods, and that it is believed by people who have not bothered to
investigate the facts for themselves does not make it one bit truer.

For you to try to package all the information gathered by 9/11 investigators
into a homogeneous set of theories-it-is-our-duty-to-ignore-else-we-risk-literal
-insanity is to indulge the all-arguments-are-equal construct you pretend to
decry.

Your assertion that 9/11 as inside job would require a conspiracy of thousands
is a silly Straw Man. It required only a few people beyond the 19 hijackers:
Frasca and Maltbie in the FBI to squelch investigations, Myers, Rummy, Rice, and
Cheney to do nothing, and one person to tell al Qaeda when the war games would
disrupt the air defense.
