On the morning of 9/11, Dick Cheney and his Neocon friends woke up and decided not to be scam artist criminals for 24 hours. This is what i'm supposed to believe given the remainder of the track record.

But on 9/11, these neocons were pure as the driven snow.

You have to be legitamately insane to believe that.

Mission Accomplished

Who said they were pure as the driven snow on 9/11? That doesn't mean that they caused 9/11. I'm sure Dick Cheney was sitting in his office kicking puppys and strangling kittens when the towers hit, but that doesn't mean they were involved.

C'mon, even Cheney's own testimony says he was in a command center ordering the shooting down of passenger airliners on 9/11.

What really? Do you have a link to where this is stated?

My bad, he was ordering that planes not be shot down. Specifically the one that allegedly hit the Pentagon. He was in the Presidential Emergency Operating Center though.

This is Secretary of Transportation, Norman Mineta, to the 9/11 Commisson. Cheney was aware of the plane headed toward the Pentagon, and gave orders that it NOT be intercepted.

++++

MR. HAMILTON: . . . I wanted to focus just a moment on the Presidential Emergency Operating Center. You were there for a good part of the day. I think you were there with the vice president. And when you had that order given, I think it was by the president, that authorized the shooting down of commercial aircraft that were suspected to be controlled by terrorists, were you there when that order was given?

MR. MINETA: No, I was not. I was made aware of it during the time that the airplane coming into the Pentagon. There was a young man who had come in and said to the vice president, "The plane is 50 miles out. The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down to, "The plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the vice president, "Do the orders still stand?" And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?" Well, at the time I didn't know what all that meant. And --

MR. HAMILTON: The flight you're referring to is the --

MR. MINETA: The flight that came into the Pentagon.

MR. HAMILTON: The Pentagon, yeah.

MR. MINETA: And so I was not aware that that discussion had already taken place. But in listening to the conversation between the young man and the vice president, then at the time I didn't really recognize the significance of that.

And then later I heard of the fact that the airplanes had been scrambled from Langley to come up to DC, but those planes were still about 10 minutes away. And so then, at the time we heard about the airplane that went into Pennsylvania, then I thought, "Oh, my God, did we shoot it down?" And then we had to, with the vice president, go through the Pentagon to check that out.

MR. HAMILTON: Let me see if I understand. The plane that was headed toward the Pentagon and was some miles away, there was an order to shoot that plane down.

MR. MINETA: Well, I don't know that specifically, but I do know that the airplanes were scrambled from Langley or from Norfolk, the Norfolk area. But I did not know about the orders specifically other than listening to that other conversation.

MR. HAMILTON: But there very clearly was an order to shoot commercial aircraft down.

MR. MINETA: Subsequently I found that out.

You extremos are fun. He says pure as the driven snow. You say involved. How about complicit? Is that somewhere in the middle? Can you two kiss and make up now?

P.S. That's not necessarily my perspective represented by the word 'complicit'...just shedding light on yours...

Their being free right now says it.

Diebold - NOT diabold

Diabolical

Let's not occupy ourselves with what happened. Instead lets try to figure out what they have in store for us down the road. It's obvious that it was an inside job, let's just figure out for what and where we are headed. Let's stick around and see just how bad the shit storm gets.

The CFR started a program in 2008 to last for 5 years called "International Institutions and Global Governance: World Order in the 21st Century" which aims in setting up global institutions in different levels to foster a global governance, in order to tackle different trans-national problems.

  • Countering Transnational Threats, including terrorism, proliferation of WMD, and infectious disease

  • Protecting the Environment and Promoting Energy Security

  • Managing the Global Economy

  • Preventing and Responding to Violent Conflict

In August 2009, the Obama Administration urged cooperation with UN to tackle the same points covered by CFR plan's. "The Obama administration will work with the United Nations to fight terrorism and other major world challenges...like nuclear programs of Iran and North Korea, the global financial crisis, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, pandemics and global warming."

I completely believe that they were behind 9/11. But remember that corellation never equals causation.

follow the money. money is causation.

It equals investigation.

That's real funny. You seem to be on a quest to manipulate.

Well put sir.

I have always been puzzled by how lucky Cheney and Bush were to be somewhere else and both doing nothing of consequence on that day.

Cheney wasn't doing ayting of no consequence, he was running nato operation of high jacked planes.

So due to the absence of any actual evidence to support the 9/11 Truth Movement's claims you are now resorting to this? Pathetic.

nah nyc denied the investigation, what do you expect
