    Arab names are quite similar. What do you think that "proves" by the way. Is it

    1) The terrorists stole passports.
    2) The great global conspiracy to get America into war with Iraq stole passports, but could only get Saudi passports. Everything else went off swimmingly, however.

    i'll go for answer one.

    An attack on American soil is something different though. Also I was fairly sure we were talking about George Bush Sr. unless I've heard wrongly from the conspiracy theorists.



    Same bunch of people regardless of which bush was in charge and i dont see how an attack on american soil is any different to an attack by america on someone elses soil. Are americans worth more in your eyes than middle easterners?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,883 ✭✭✭wudangclan


    and not forgetting 'the dog that didn't bark' another well documented fact.
    just consider the facts.

    Semites don't have the means to carrie out such operations any time they want. It was pure coincidence.

    Did I say that? Do I think that either Bush would view Americans as being worth more? Yes, of course. They are both former American presidents.

    I think the question was initially put whether George Bush attacked America, or not. He would generally be more unpopular if he attacked America. So Americans would be worth more in his eyes. Thats his job.
    ok. take this fact,which i read on the front page of the new york times in october of that year, about the 5 dancing israelis and the subsequent arrest by police of another group of israelis by holland bridge.

    thats true, alright. It was reported on the day in fact ( I was in America at the time) but it was reported as a group of happy Middle Easterners in the area. More Panic.

    then it disappeared down the memory hole. That does not prove mossad involvement ( well unlss Osama is a mossad agent), however I think that it is possible that Mossad knew something about the potential attack but did not pass it on. Or rather they did pass on a very cryptic message in August about a potential attack. To cover their asses.

    The dancing Israelis were mossad agents, as far as I know.

    I'd wager they knew beforehand that it was a busy day with those precise flights being paticularly useful for strategic reasons (right area, right amount of passengers, all taking off in the same hour or so). More logistic than symbolic.

    true.
    the 5 dancing israelis,2 or 3 of whom were proved to be mossad ,does not prove mossad carried out the attacks.
    the israelis arrested at holland tunnel,also mossad with box cutters false passports in their possesion,and a sniffer dog reacted in the van as if explosives had been there.
    again this does not prove mossad involvement in the attacks.
    that the removal company 'urban removal systems', (the vans in which both groups were apprehended ),received half a million dollars that year in federal funding ,does not prove complicity with mossad.
    unfortunately the israelis who were caught and the owner of the removal firm were released and sent back to israel so we never got their sides of the story...
    ....we're just left with the bare facts.

    Sound, I thought you were backing them rather than just highlighting their viewpoints, my apologies.

    I'd have to say that I always thought that the fact that 9/11 would be naturally symbolic as an attack on the emergency services would have been a reason for choosing a different day. It would have been quite possible that there would be upgraded security in the background like there is for Christmas Day, 4th of July, etc. I'm surprised they didn't delay it to a different day. No point taking any unnecessary risks with an operation like that.

    Btw, off thread, can anyone confirm/refute whether the D-Day landings were specifically planned for Rommel's wife's birthday in the hope (justified) that he would be in Germany rather than in France?

    Only a few days in each month were suitable for launching the operation, because both a full moon and a spring tide were required: the former to illuminate navigational landmarks for the crews of aircraft, gliders and landing craft, and the latter to provide the deepest possible water to help safe navigation over defensive obstacles placed by the Germans in the surf on the seaward approaches to the beaches.

    The weather was also important, there was a gap in a storm that they reckoned the Germans would not know about.

    Arabs did not cause the attacks, terrorists did.

    2,966 people died as a result of the attack, 6 of whom were Irish.

    The day it happened on is completely irrelevent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,185 ✭✭✭asdasd


    Arabs did not cause the attacks, terrorists did.

    I think you are arguing against a strawman. Anyway they were Arabs. Thats important to point out to those who believe that Mossad was culpable, or America itself.

    ( The logical statement that they were all Arabs, does not mean that All Arabs were responsible. This is logic 101).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kraggy


    Are they going to hit us tomorrow cause our emergency number is 999?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,185 ✭✭✭asdasd


    STM, Kraggy.

    good one. Ireland,the UK, and other parts of the ex British Empire that use 999 should be on red alert.

    1) New York City has 11 letters

    2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.

    3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin
    Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

    4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

    This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:

    1) New York is the 11th state.

    2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number
    11.

    3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11

    4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.
    6+5 = 11

    5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11

    6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number
    911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

    Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:

    1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was
    254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

    2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4
    = 11.

    3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.

    4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers
    incident.

    Now this is where things get totally eerie:

    The most recognized symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is
    the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic
    holy book:

    "For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.
    The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo,
    while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for
    the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was
    peace."

    That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

    Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this and see how you feel
    afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:

    Open Microsoft Word and do the following:

    1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first
    plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.

    2. Highlight the Q33 NY.

    3. Change the font size to 48.

    4. Change the type of writin to wingdings

    5.See what comes up its really freaky!!!!


    I know this isn't the reason why it happened but I thought I'd share it with you all

    So if you claim you read an article in a newspaper that contradicts something some one read in another paper, or seen on televison or heard on the radio; that's irony? Big difference between nonsense emails and a site that investigates spam.

    Well I don't have my Qu'ran handy to scan it in . . .

    Or my book of flight schedules containing all flight numbers for the past 10 years.

    When I find them I'll let you know.
