Reply #87: Did you even read what Mueller said in the speech I linked,...

[Media_Lies_Daily]

...or have you swallowed the "official story" hook, line, and sinker?

Have I ever heard of "operational security"? I heard it on a daily basis during the five years I served in the military...how about you?

Question for you...why didn't we go after the hijackers' countries of origin instead of following the strategy of knocking Afghanistan back even further into the Stone Age? You do remember the hijackers' country of origin, don't you?:

Robert S. Mueller, III, Director, FBI
Commonwealth Club of California
San Francisco, CA
April 19, 2002

<http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/speeches/speech041902.htm>

Excerpt:

"Each of the hijackers came from abroad: fifteen from Saudi Arabia, two from the United Arab Emirates, and one each from Lebanon and Egypt."

I still don't see anything in Mueller's statement that includes Afghan or Iraqi nationals, do you? Is it possible that, just as the NeoCons were "mistaken" about Iraqi WMDs, that they were also "mistaken" as to who actually launched the attack on 911? Why did Osama Bin Laden initially DENY that he and Al Qaeda were responsible for 911? Why would OBL have not readily accepted responsibility for the act as he has always done following terrorist acts in the past? How is it that a senior member of the Pakistani ISI was not only involved with sending $100,000 to Atta prior to the 911 attacks, but that he was also present for high-level meetings in the U. S. on 911?

Here's another curve ball for you:

Pentagon Lied: Terrorists Trained at U. S. Bases
<http://www.madcowprod.com/issue06.html>

Excerpts:

"EXCLUSIVE— Despite earlier denials, terrorists in the Sept. 11 attacks received training at secure U.S. military bases, a Defense Department spokesman admitted in an interview Friday.

Three days after the WTC disaster, Newsweek, the Washington Post and the Knight Ridder newspapers reported claims that five of the terrorist hijackers in the Sept 11 attacks received training at secure U.S. military installations during the 1990s. The reports also claimed three of the terrorists had listed their address as the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla., and had participated in military exchange programs for foreign officers at the Pensacola Naval Air Station in Florida."

...SNIP....

"Consider: Foreign nationals training at secure U.S. facilities do so almost solely at the behest of governments considered friendly to the United States.

Gaining admittance to the International Officer’s School at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery—which terrorist ringleader Mohamed Atta was reported to have attended—would have required Atta to be someone well-connected with a friendly Arab government. (For the record, the spokesperson denied that the International Officer’s School attendee named Mohamed Atta is the same Mohamed Atta who piloted a passenger plane into the WTC, while repeatedly declining requests for biographical details about a second Arab pilot with the same name as the terrorist.)"

Just curious, but do you consider the 10,000 to 15,000 Afghan civilians that we killed...women and children included...to be enemy combatants? Is that how you manage to stay comfortable with our attack on the entire country of Afghanistan? Since our invasion of that country has there been ANY appreciable drop in terrorism around the world?

As far as your attempt to personally smear me as being "a tad bit too tinfoil even for most of the tinfoil crowd", I say come up with the proof that OBL and Al Qaeda are responsible for 911 and I'll stop asking questions about the "official story". How's that? Does that seem fair? I'll also stop asking questions about the 30-35 minute delay in authorizing the interceptors to take off and pursue the airliners. And I will also stop asking why Junior stated at least twice that he actually saw the first plane hit the WTC. And finally, I will stop asking why Flight 93 left an 8 mile trail of debris, including an engine, before it crashed into that Pennsylvania field.

Still like the "official story" from the same group that lies nearly every time open their mouths? Here's a little advice, pal...try looking at the world when you've got your head out of the ground. You'll be amazed at how much more you can see.
