      Re: The War on Truthers

      This pretty much sums it up (including antique cctv )
      The problem I have with the Truthers is that they always fall for one of the four common fallacies. In this case, the Either/or fallacy. It either happened this way, or it was a grand conspiracy. What you are ignoring is the third option. This was both a well planned terrorist attack and a series of serious fu*kups that the Gov't was trying to cover up so as not to look like the incompetent douchebags they are.

      It was fun while it lasted...

        Re: The War on Truthers

        exactly right though:

        The problem the conspiracy theorists have to contend with is the myth of hyper-competency. The government is too bloated, slow, incompetent, and inefficient to achieve something on that scale, let alone keep it covered up. Clinton couldn't keep a few blow jobs and cum stains covered up.

        These people running around Washington aren't the super hero villains you see in the movies, they're the type of people who get caught shoving documents in their underwear and socks while trying to cover their tracks or shoot their best friend in the face while quail hunting.

        If the Bush administration were so conspiracy prone they could have easily planted WMDs from one end of Iraq to the other and came out of that deal smelling like a rose.

        All the loose change BS doesn't even come into consideration until those problems are dealt with.

        It was fun while it lasted...

                    nobody would believe them and they would be dead by morning.

                    Buildings don't explode when planes fly into them. If it would have fallen over I would have believed the story.

                    Also building 7 I mean come on.

                      read the post i quoted again and tell me where exactly do you see it talk about 9/11 or any of that crap??

                      that's a whole different issue...caused by:
                      a.) govt incompetence
                      b.) too much independence on the part of the pentagon
                      c.) too much money being spent on defence

                      this is just my opinion of course

                        This is +100. Thanks for clarifying. In the context of all of the other nonsense in this thread I thought you were affirming the theories.

                            Hundreds worked together to form the big-olde-coverup-of-2001 and no one has spoken out about it?

                              what about the quote I posted are you referring to exactly? you lost me (and obviously you lost res0)
