Just the question.
 
To continue on with the rambling of the other thread: Yes.
Oh and there shouldn't be posts like this. They usually end in flame wars that go nowhere. Its simply a matter of opinion.
 
Historical fact is not an opinion.

No, but interpretation of historical fact is hopelessly riddled with opinion until everyone who lived through it is dead, sometimes longer. None of us can discuss it objectively.
 
If you read the official 9/11 Commission's Report, they have a section on this. Basically we knew Bin Laden was up to something, he was stepping up the scale of his attacks, but we didn't know exactly what was next. We also didn't have the public or international support to authorize a military strike against his base in a foreign country. There was even talk among top officials that it would take a disaster to get the public's opinion into a strike.

So yes, we could have arrested or killed Osama long before 9/11, but it wouldn't necessarily have prevented a large scale attack.
 
I'm confused, it sounds like a question, but the punctuation indicates something entirely different.

No, 9/11 was not some government conspiracy nor was it allowed. It simply happened.
 
9/11 happened (let) because of imcompetence nothing more.
 
I and others have debunked 9/11 conspiracy theories on these forums repeatedly. There is no need for this thread.
 
Yes.

The world's nuclear powers have enough weapons that if they wanted to blow up the world on the 10th, we never would have made it to the 11th...

What exactly are you asking? Did the US gov't know about aQ's plans and let them go ahead with it? Of course not; somebody (credible) would have leaked that by now, a secret like that would be worth something. And the way things have leaked out of this Administration, don't you think that would have come out sooner?
 
Yes, Osama let people hijack planes and fly them into buildings.

But claiming 'TEH GOVERNMENTS D1D IT I7S A C0NSPIR4CYZ!!!!' is wrong, because the government would've been better off stopping the planes hitting the buildings and getting 'hero' tags on themselves.
 
I dont think he's saying Bush masterminded the attacks, but he knew about them and still let them happen.

not if they wanted a casus belli to go on a global rampage, or as they used to call it a "War on Terror"

Actually, they could've said that they must stop any other potential terrorist attack on US soil.

They could have said that after the First WTC bombing or other terrorist attacks against the US.

But it does not work so easily, the US Government needed something truly or humongous scale to launch their latest wave of Military backed Imperialist attacks. Truly a New Pearl Harbour.
