9/11 coverup?

[kandrathe]

A full scale war on terrorism is not going to work.

If you are thinking generals leading the troops and tanks onto beach heads, then you a guilty of not keeping up with the nomenclature of warfare. One of the newer ideas is that we need to be prepared to fight the next war, and the tools we use and the structure of the forces need to be aligned to that threat. That new warfare is asymmetric, meaning that there may or may not be a nation state or territory involved. I agree with Pete that the word is misused, and that we need to be clearer in how we will respond to a threat or an enemy. Pete fights a war on ignorance. :) There is a military role in striking at collections of terrorists when they fight as paramilitary forces, as they are in Afghanistan. There is an intelligence and law enforcement role in investigations and preventing attacks. There is a administrative and systemic role in preventing the funding of terrorism, and money laundering schemes. And, probably many other roles that all people who are opposed to terrorism should play.

I watched the 52 minute video -- although my instincts told me to turn it off. For those who don't want to waste their time or bandwidth I offer the salient points.

The questions it asked;

- How could a Boeing 757 slam into the Pentagon and leave such a small hole and no visable plane wreckage? They suggest it was a missile.
- How come a witness of the north tower impact claimed the plane was not a commercial airliner? They suggest it was a military plane.
- Why did a firefighter claim that he heard explosions similiar to detonations going floor by floor like the building was being taken down by demolition charges?
- Why were there flashes in the towers just prior to both planes impacting? They suggest there were devices attached to the planes meant to ignite the fuel.
- Why does it appear that there are pods attached to the bottoms of the planes?

At the end of the video they suggest that 9/11 was a government conspiracy by both the Democrats and Republicans to bring about a police state in the US. You can find more of the "evidence" at 911 - In Plane Site website.

I'll just offer my opinion that this is the worst kind of BS as they focus on some details that require the viewer to fully understand the physics of plane impacts and building construction. They offer no explanation of the passenger cell phone calls connected right up to impact, or what happened to the real missing airliners.


What they confuse as a "exterior swelling " is really the curved swept down attachment point of the wing to the plane.

Anyway I think the whole "documentary" is a load of crap.
