Really, that's the way you see it? "Pages talking complete nonsense about dead bodies."?

Could you possibly quote some of these posts?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours. Any time you have asked me in the past I haven't had any trouble but as I am working mobile I shan't. Just the same feel free to quote where it has been said by Jennings that he "saw" bodies. He just didn't say that. That is my point and I don't think it is nuanced or semantic. It is plain to see and hear, and therefore any discussion of bodies is either conjecture, or nonsense. Why nonsense? Because it would be a discussion about actual material stuff (the dead bodies) when the only way we could possibly know of their existence is through the statements of the only eyewitness and he says he didn't see them. That is scenario worthy of Yossarian and Major Major Major Major. It simply cannot be taken seriously.

I misconstrued Jennings' testimony about the dead bodies and I'm happy to accept that there is no substance to those claims.

Now if you can find more than one post of mine where I made any point at all about dead bodies I'll reconsider ignoring you completely which I've now decided to do because I think you're an obnoxious troll and any attempt to have any dscussion with you is a complete waste of time and effort.

For me there is just too many things that remain unanswered or at the very least vauge.

For example, the fact that while almost all the passengers on Flight 77 of the were positively identified through DNA and dental records, we are also told that there is no significant remaining plane debris within the Pentagon because the intensity of the inferno after the crash wholly incinerated the aircraft and its component parts.

How?
there was quite a lot of identifiable plane wreckage found inside the Pentagon, mate. Duckman to his credit posted a good link in this thread with photo evidence taken of said wreckage.

I was probably a bit lazy and when I saw we were still talking about dead bodies I made an assumption. Obnoxious troll is bit harsh, I thought the worst I did was reference one of greatest books ever written.

Surely you can see why people are surprised at your line of argument here? You jump from one mish-mash of supposition and conjecture to the next and seem incredulous and sometimes vitriolic when others don't acquiesce to your reasoning.

Most of those of us who don't accept your argument have agreed with the central tenet that there was probably a cover up designed to protect Bush and Cheney. I think we have been more than reasonable in conceding this with the caveat that it doesn't suggest a conspiracy. If these are the actions of a troll then a troll am I.
 
I don't think obnoxious troll is harsh at all. As tempted as I am to respond to your latest supercilious accusations I'm going to ignore you because I've wasted enough time on you already.

Before I ask for the evidence have you already posted it?

Not a consolodated list.

This is a good place to start. Also coincidental is the fact Bush was in Florida where Jeb Bush the governor had declared a state of martial law. Also convincing to me is Bush's reaction. As I've said a couple of times the fact he sat there for so long when, if he had no knowledge of that was happening, he could have had no idea how many other planes had been hijacked. In that light, and knowing that he and Cheney were the only two men who could authorise the shootdown of a hijacked plane, he should have been into action straight away. In fact the secret service should have whisked him away to his post immediately. Bush also says he'd seen the first plane crash into WTC1 before he went into the classroom but thought it was a small plane and pilot error was the cause. This is blatantly dishonest and obviously raises concerns. The speed with which news reports sprang to hand with incredible detail also gives the impression the material was prepared as it seems totally implausible the FBI could gather all that detail when they didn't have a clue what was going on under their noses. Another one is the passport we discussed earlier. If that's a plant (which I think it has to be, 99.9% anyway) then someone had to have it and someone had to know when they'd need to plant it.

Wow duckman. Seems a bit harsh on KR just for disagreeing with your conclusions (he is not alone there). He has always appeared to provide his justification for those disagreements.

Nothing in that second paragraph is remotely convincing (unless you are looking to connect the dots for a foregone conclusion).

You keep disregarding the points where you have posted inaccurate information as justification for your conclusions. When these have been pointed out and conceded by yourself, instead of questioning the conclusions that you had drawn from them, you appear to raise other questions that again tend to be circumstantial, or in some cases plain nonsensical (why would someone plant a passport? why was WTC7 such a juicy target? why the questions about the pentagon?). You also claim that you just think an independent enquiry is justified (based on what? how would you ensure independence anyway? The U.S. won't allow their citizens to be tried in the International Courts, do you think they would provide such sensitive material related to 9/11 to independent arbiters?). You generally make well reasoned posts on other threads that we have been involved in, but you appear to have drawn a conclusion here and are looking for any evidence, circumstantial or not, that will fit that conclusion. When I look at the sum of the evidence, I see nothing significant to suggest something as nefarious as an inside plot or complicity.

You reckon that's a fair assesment mate?

Feel free not to answer that. I'm happy with my decision and don't need your affirmation.

Could you tell me why you don't find my reasoning remotely convincing rather than just making that assertion?

Can you give me an example of your first point in paragraph 2? I honestly don't think it's true at all. Can you also tell me what definitive conclusions I've drawn and what inaccurate information I used to justify them?

*I don't know why someone would plant a passport. To me it certainly implies foreknowledge though, which was the point I was making. Do you think it's feasible that Satam al-Suqami's passport escaped the wreckage of AA11 unharmed and ended up on Vesey Street?

*I don't know why WTC7 was demolished (if this is the case, I'm not saying it is definitively). I'm only trying to discuss the evidence.

*Why not question the manouvres performed by AA77 when so many experts insist it is impossible for pilots such as the supposed hijackers to make them?

*I think an independent inquiry is required because a) the first one was terribly compromised, even in the opinion of both co-chairmen, b) Bush and Cheney's actions and decisions clearly contributed to the outcome of these events and they've never had to testify on the record. much less take responsibility, c) so many experts from various fields not only question the OR but ridicule it and d) The victim's families deserve much better than that.

*An independent inqury can be commissioned at any time and can also be given the same powers as an official commission. Experts from other countries can be part of that investigative team. There'd be no need to try anyone in international courts.

Thanks for the kind words. I can assure you though that I haven't drawn a conclusion any more than you have and am trying to judge the available evidence as objectively as possible, as you try to do I'm sure. We just happen not to agree. I don't see why everyone in the same boat has to see this as a reason to insist I'm being irrational. If we spent as much time discussing the evidence as we have dissecting my motive and posting style we'd probably have solved the whole case by now.
 
Why did many firefighters decide that building 7 appeared unstable? Were they in on the conspiracy too?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XImQ6a-VrnA

The building burned for 6 or so hours before this supposed demolition. Was that all part of the plan too?

Was someone there nearby with their finger on the demolition button waiting for the fire to get to a specific point that people would believe it collapsed due to the fire?

So Bush must have known an attack was going to happen in the timeframe he was in Florida ( under martial law) ? And Jeb too? The best I can find is that Jeb made executive orders on sept 7. And what timeframe does something stop being coincidental? 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months before said date? And what is the correlation between these exec orders and the benefit to George Bush? I don't understand it, sorry.

And the FBI had pre-prepared the info on the terrorists ready to disseminate to the media?

I have no answer to why Bush acted so strangely after the event other than to say that he was dumb and incompetent which is no new news.
 
good posting duckman.

what I don't understand is how people are willing to trust the findings of the Commission report and believe the US Govt had no involvement or prior knowledge of the attacks, considering they lied about WMD's in Iraq to go to war. They have a track record of deceiving to achieve their goals. They slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent iraqi's, on the back of a lie, yet people find it impossible to fathom how they could kill 3,000 and blow up a couple of buildings.

The FBI has apparently admitted that there is no evidence that the 19 arabs committed the crime, however the media linked OBL within minutes and had the names and pictures of the 19 within days. How can these people be convicted if there is no evidence as the FBI has apparently stated? Why did the investigation not continue until they found the evidence or found the real terrorists?

Don't forget the Khalid Sheik Mohammed trial to postpone..... again.....until 2016. Was he really the mastermind behind this?

Hah! This is the whole point, and what Noam Chomsky and others have been telling us for thirty years.

The US government does not need to invent a crackpot conspiracy that involves killing thousands of their own citizens. They'll make *smile* up and invade Iraq anyway. There are plenty of real conspiracies, real dirty politics, real geopolitical double crosses... and yet people choose to focus on one event and analyse the crap out of it based on grainy videos and nutty attention seekers.

Open your eyes people, the truth is out there and it ain't got anything to do with 9/11.

Maybe 9/11 is the *smile* they made up, won votes and had full support to capture Saddam instead of Osama. ;D

Anyone care to answer this?

Are the eye witnesses who saw a plane fly into the Pentagon and the firefighters who thought B7 would collapse on the payroll?

So many questions..

Have you read the order? It doesn't declare martial law. Flame me all you want this what I and PT and others keep pointing out, you think your reasoning is sound, and it may well be, but you continually back it up with patently false or misleading material from the 911 conspiracy web. Florida was not under martial law. Below is some of text, by my reading it merely transfers the authority to order training and active duty from the governor to the head of the national guard.

" WHEREAS, the Florida National Guard has the statutory responsibility to provide support to law-enforcement personnel and emergency-management personnel in the event of civil disturbances or natural disasters; andWHEREAS, the Florida National Guard has the responsibility to provide training support to law-enforcement personnel and community-based organizations relating to counter drug operations; and
WHEREAS, as Governor, I may delegate the authority contained in Section 250.06(4), Florida Statutes, to order training to help respond to civil disturbances, natural disasters, and counter drug operations to The Adjutant General of the State of Florida; andWHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the State of Florida that I delegate such authority, so that the Florida National Guard is adequately trained to meet its obligation to help respond to civil disturbances, natural disasters, and counter drug operations and so that members of the Florida National Guard performing such training are covered by Section 250.34, Florida Statutes; "

Did you watch it live yourself Disco? I know when I started watching the coverage it wasn't at all clear that the first plane was jet airliner. I assumed a small passenger plane and there was no footage and a lot of confusion amongst the various newsfeeds I was watching.

Excellent post. There was a great deal of confusion initially.
