a rare political entry

dude. is this for real? people honestly believe that our government orchestrated 9/11? this is truly the first i've heard of this. i'm at a loss for words. do i trust our government compeletely? no. do i believe that they always have our best interests at heart? no. do i think they killed thousands of people on september 11th for some unknown reason(i'm assuming they're saying it's because the president needed a catalyst for war)? abso-fucking-lutely NOT! how ludicrous is this? really. do any of you think this? if so, please do respond with why you think it's a possibility. i'm truly interested to understand why you would think our government would do something like this.

also Charlie Sheen's comment about the planes "not looking like any commercial jetliner he'd ever seen" is just completely and utterly laughable. what a fucking moron. is he an airplane expert?

this is about as political as you will see me because arguing politics never ends well. i just couldn't get over this though. outraged. that's a good word to describe how i'm feeling.

I don't buy it, either. While I think our intelligence over the entire tragedy was badly handled, and that it could have been minimized, if not averted entirely, by better communications in our own intelligence operations, I don't believe that it was orchestrated by our own government. My own opinion is that the 9/11 attacks were directly organized and carried out by Osama Bin Laden and his band of merry men. Of course, I also believe that they had help from outside governments (supplies, financial help, weapons, intel) that were interested in gaining a political advantage with the Muslim nations, and those allies are still assisting them in covering their tracks. I will grant that our government did use the attacks as justification for going to war, but more in the way of taking advantage of the opportunity while national sentiment was still running hot, but I can in no way believe or accept that they were able to orchestrate the entire thing. And, I agree, I try not to get political on LJ, either, but this is a ridiculous thing.

oh absolutely. i definitely think the government had some inkling that this plot was in the works and didn't take it seriously enough to investigate. i also agree that something could have and should have been done to reconcile the different government agencies to cooperate with each other.

i just think we, as a nation, were just so confident that nothing could happen to us. the government was no different.
