Hardly. Try to keep up. OBL was a commander, not an ops guy. If you got your information from somewhere other than sites filled with self-righteous editorials alleging conspiracy theories, you’d know that. “Confessing” false information under duress is specifically intended to taint other information that might be provided. If you had any MI experience whatsoever, you might have guessed this. But you don’t. The fact that you discount everything based on one or two verifiable lies, clearly provided to confuse the interrogators, demonstrates that you haven’t a clue what’s involved in intelligence gathering, putzie. Real life isn’t 24.

And your comments about Hussein are just as deranged and factless — as more and more documents become declassified, if it wasn’t clear enough for all you slack-jawed numbnuts back at the time, it should be now: Bush lied his ass off about everything Iraq-related.

No. Pay attention. The guy behind the 9/11 attacks has been in U.S. custody for quite a long time now. And he wasn’t in A-stan, he was in Kuwait.

The guy who ordered the attacks is unaccounted for, and there’s no confirmation that the latest recording is actually OBL’s voice. Appropriate, though, that the message points out yet another one of BHO’s failures to live up to his campaign pledges.

And the people who were actually responsible for 9/11 are all dead now. Get it through your dopey, gullible, dysfunctional head: Saddam wasn’t ousted because he was involved in 9/11. “Containment” failed. Military force worked. Get over it.

After the initial bombing and beat down, Bush very, VERY prematurely turned his attention to Iraq to implement this stupid, standing PNAC policy desire.

Let me ask you this — when Obama escalated the Afghanistan war, including expanding incursions further into Pakistan than Bush ever did in order to go after the al-Qaeda and the Taliban hiding there, were you happy that we were back focusing on the people responsible for 9/11, or did cognitive dissonance kick in to make you want to invade another country that bin Laden has nothing to do with?

Pragmatist: Good comment! As far as Japan goes, though, I still wish there had been a bomb dropped into Mt. Fuji–that thing is just TOO perfect! Really bothers me!

As for 9/11, I have a video shot that day by someone attached to the firefighters. The first man to come out of the clouds of smoke and dust was a Muslim–a very frightened, confused Muslim. I doubt greatly that he would have condoned what happened. Yes, I believe people are getting far too complacent, far too tunnel-visioned, far too involved in their own lives. December 7, 1941 began like any other Sunday, just as September 11, 2001, Tuesday began. Things changed very rapidly. According to the Border Patrol, three out of every ten border jumpers are foreign terrorists. It is possible these are grouping together, just waiting for the word to strike—and if I am right, that word will be coming soon. Our government is weak, self-serving, in denial, and only a heavy-handed attack against this country will waken them. I doubt if the “president” will react in any way but to write a very erudite, elitist essay on the subject—just as he did on September 11, 2001. He doesn’t care, he won’t fight, he won’t recognize the danger. His “service” idea for 9/11 just boils down to the one thing he wants dearly for this country—Slavery–in its worst forms! Benign at first, then steadily worsening! Watch and see!

You are right and you are wrong. There were some ‘good Germans’ but they were easily cowered into passivity. What percentage of the German populace falling into that category is certainly open to arguement. And I suspect the same question re the greater Islamic community. That being said, the great lesson of WW II is; when in doubt, eliminate them. You can always apologize after.

BC, have you read up about the Assassins, you should do, especially how they were viewed by other Muslims, then think again about AQ in Iraq, then get your brain in gear.

“Vivo, you say it was a senseless act, but those who had studied Islam understand exactly what it was and why it was done,”

What I meant is that it was senseless to the victims families. I understand it was not senseless to the Islamic group, they planned and knew that this was going to be their most brilliant attack with enormous ROI.
