It's the old conundrum DUmmies have pondered over for years: Is George Bush a fumbling idiot or an evil genius?
Surprisingly, the thread has not been banished to the 9/11 dungeon.

Scottie McClellen has proved 9/11 was NO inside operation
Just the stuff I've read so far demonstrates the idiots in the Bush administration couldn't mastermind a panty raid let alone the worst terrorist attack on the United States in history.
The bastards are nothing more than a collective group of marketing experts. They know how to sell. They are all, every last damned one of them, glorified used car salesmen.
They could no more plan and carry off anything resembling 9/11 then they could fart and propel themselves to the moon.
But then again, the way the Iraq war has been run was enough to prove all this, and did so five years ago.
Never mind.

72. It's been proven that they were aware of the possibility of a threat
The only thing they needed to do in a LIHOP scenario is exactly what they did... jack shit.
Standard DUmmy meme. But what I would like to hear is how the DUmbasses
know nothing was done. Are the moonbats privy to all the classified machinations of the CIA, FBI, NSA and all the other alphabet agencies who doubtless "were aware of the possibility of a threat"? Besides, "Bin Laden determined to strike inside the U.S. using aircraft" isn't exactly detailed, actionable intelligence, is it? What would they have had the president do, shut down all air travel?
Profile at the airports for terrorist? They scream over the suggestion of that even now,
after the fact of 3000+ deaths and billions of dollars in economic damage. Then they have the nerve to complain about random searchs by the TSA.

52. I still have that problem with the heat of the fuel
and the melting point of the steel. Still not sure about MIHOP.
It's amazing that there are still people out there with their heads so far up their asses that they don't know the structural steel was
weakened, not melted.

9. well, somebody did it and I am no closer to being convinced...
...that the official story has any merit than I ever was.
That's because you're an ignoramus. Who gives a shit what you're convinced of? Don't you have a dung beetle to copulate with, or something?

45. Bush & company planned 911 his brother was security for the
WTC towers the whole thing was just a big show for the American people to forget that he stole the 2000 Election and go to war with Iraq
No, Marvin Bush was not "security for the WTC towers". He was on the board of directors for the company at one time. He was not wearing a rent-a-cop uniform chasing skateboarders out of the parking garage. Even if he was, what was he supposed to do? Climb to the roof and yell "Stop!" at the oncoming planes?

35. What do you think 9/11 was?
19 guys with primitive weapons sieze 4 aircraft at approximately the same time. This is hardly high tech or complex strategy.
OTOH, somebody gave the order for the AF to stand down. Jets that are normally scrambled in 15 minutes or less took more than half an hour to get into the air, and then they somehow couldn't find the hijacked aircraft. That was not something that the hijackers had any control of.
Look shithead, no one ordered the Air Force to stand down. There were only something like 14 fighters on alert that day covering the entire contiguous 48 states. Pre-9/11, NORAD was is not configured to address internal threats.The FAA had to actually pick up a phone and call them to let them know what had happened, and they were unaware of the aircraft's positions because their IFF transponders were turned off.

36. And the anti aircraft gun in the middle of the Pentagon - what's that there for?
Is that just not manned? They need a reservation to let them know to shoot you down?
My god, that's just too stupid to even countenance.

86. The Saudis certainly financed it, and the money went through..
Pakistan. That much is pretty certain. I doubt we'll ever actually find out who masterminded it, I doubt it was Bin Laden, although he may like you said have provided the manpower.
Who are "the Saudis"? Were there glass jars set out in every Saudi convenience store with signs that read, "Please Give To The March Of Martyrs"?

67. Wow, a new era has indeed dawned
because this thread has not been shunted down to the 9/11 dungeon yet!
Once upon a time, this thread would have been off of GD in fewer than 3 posts!
Times they are a-changin'

Nah. Posts "debunking" a 9/11 conspiracy are always permitted in GD..
If too many rebuttal posts with WTC7 animations appear, THEN they are moved.
Yeah, cuz all them posts with animations are so
convincing, just by virtue of having...animation. Who could argue with that? Those with animations plus lots of little graphs and arrows really seal the MIHOP deal.

100. Well, no one has ever explained WHY the
secret service let him sit in that school for so long without whisking him away to safety.
Yeah, well, there you have it. If that doesn't prove conspiracy, I don't know what does.
Idiots.
