Some other possibilities for "9/11 inside job?".....

1: Those in power had no idea what these planes where going to do. Perhaps the terrorists would simple ask for some sort of shit, and diplomacy could be used.
this lack of understanding is only the basis, however. the big thing is that theres so much red tape when it comes to "comand defense", which is assume you mean to represent shoot the fuckers down, that to send out fuckin fighter jets to destroy civilian aircraft over the course of a few hours would be impossible.
the goverment is slow to work, and doesnt like to go out on limbs. And shooting down a civilian aircraft with only the knowlege that it has been hijacked is a pretty big limb. Hijackings occur more than you would think on our planet, and tact tends to be the best cure for the situations.

2: the world is an awefully big place. if you have enough money and brains, you can hide anywhere. Bin Laden is most certainly not retarded, and knows how to stay away from a god damn army looking for him.

3: The problem isnt that the steel frames straight melted. It's that they started to slowly bend under pressure. Sure, it wasnt 3,000 degrees hot, but it was hot enough so that the wieght of the building, on top of the heat that was there, took care of business.
You put enough weight on steel that is structuraly unsound, and gravity turns into a bitch.
steels great, but not invincible.
Ah, and it was SOME of the firefighters who reported hearing these explosions, which where probably just the sounds of the building starting to colapse in on itself. in the mass clusterfuck that was the world trade center on 9/11, im sure mother fuckers where hearing all sorts of things that sounded like one thing, but where really another.
as to the destruction of the basement idea, well, its realy this simple: alot of stuff fell. Like, drop a bowling ball off your house onto the sidewalk. it will make a big ass dent. so, imagine what would happen if the combined mass of the entire world trade center fell on the area that it did. You would get a very big crater. Hence, no basement. And, please, "All" of the eye witnesses? did you sit every one of them down and ask what exactly the scene looked like, in their expert opinions? And, again, confusion and panic make for odd observations.
Your argument is less baked then a turd on a sidewalk.

4: It incriminates countires that we don't want to have pissed at us right now more than they need to be (i.e. Iran, etc.). Stop thinking we're so god damn important. There are other countires involved in this mess much more than you claim america to be.

5: pretty much the same as 4.

There are plenty of reasons to hate Bush. Being responsible for 9/11 is not one of them. Please please please, stop pretending you're some sort of expert on this matter by presenting your "true facts of the matter". I do like what you have to say about the war, however. In fact, I totaly agree with you. But 9/11 isnt the ground to base your debate on.

I mean, didn't you hear? we're fighting in Iraq to save the mystical pixies from their caverns! and thats the gods honest truth!

Hail bush!

I have read many reports on 9/11 and seen many documentaries. Yet, I still continue to ask everyone why if the government claims to have nothing to hide, they continue to ignore many important questions and lie about what happened. Perhaps the only thing worse than the lies the American people are exposed to by news reports are the stupid people who believe them.

I have noticed that most people can not accept the fact that 9/11 was an inside job. So for those of you that can not accept this, I have some questions I would like you to answer for me.

1) Why when they discovered that there were hijacked aircraft, they did not command defense to deploy and take them down immediately?

2) If they are making it seem like it is very important to capture Bin Laden, why have they not done it yet? They have had plenty of chances to do this.

3) How did flames bring down THREE steal framed buildings?

4) Why if the government has nothing to hide, they are keeping a lot of the ‘evidence’ they have from public?

5) Why have government officials destroyed evidence of 9/11?

If you don’t believe that 9/11 was an inside job, then you were not able to answer any of the questions listed above. But, I can answer every one of those questions with logical answers.

1) There is proof that 9/11 was an inside job, nothing was done to stop it, and nothing was done to warn the people of America. If a few very simple steps were taken, the death toll would have been much smaller. ...

"9/11 was an inside job" is a phrase that rose in popularity on forums and websites in the years following 9/11. Most of the talking points come from a small hand full of video "documentaries" such as "Loose Change" that circulate around the internet. Along with Moon Hoax conspiracies, super secret dominating new world order conspiracies, and JFK conspiracies, it supports itself on a set of lies, distortions, myths, and debunked crap.

People who believe it was an inside job call themselves "truthers." Yeah, that's right, "truthers." The worst thing you can do is get sucked into an argument with one of these "truthers." The are impervious to logic and devoid of intellect. And even if you manage to cure one of their misbelief, five more will spring up the next day. While at first glance it might seem like these "truthers" are mostly liberals or democrats, it seems they include a large number of conservatives or republicans as well. The liberal population is mostly kids who will grow out of it at some point, but the right wing population is usually middle aged loonies suffering from some kind of extreme paranoia illness.

Observe the post by Krystem above. This kid brought up 5 regurgitated talking points that have been repeated ad nausea over the years. And the answers have always been patiently explained to them. They haven't gotten it yet, and they probably won't get it ever.

The bulk of conspiracy arguments work like this: "X is impossible for me to un...
