Did the US government pepetrate the 9/11 attacks?

ok i've watched loose change four times or so now, and spent way too much time reading on various websites, they make some convincing points...but then they ignore alot of stuff as well...like common sense.\n\ncould there be some conspiracy behind 911? yes there could be. is it these theories that are popularly being advanced currently on the web...no\n\nstart at the end and work your way forward: the point of 911 was to destroy some buildings.  there are easier ways for the government to pull this off than to.\nsecretly swap planes in the air for non-passenger drone places, fly two of them into buildings, which they already rigged with additional explosives, secretly land the planes, secretly kill the passengers, fake a plane crash at one location, get voice samples from passengers to load into a computer to produce fake phone calls to loved ones with, then swap one plane for a missle (never mind that some claim this was a smaller drone plane) fire it into the pentagon, get 100 or so people to claim they saw a plane(this is ignored by loose change which uses two of the four people that claimed to not have seen a plane) then run around real fast knocking over the light poles etc...loose change claims a plane couldn't knock over those lamp poles that way, but never tries to explain how they were knocked over, if we assume that not all 100+ witnesses were cia plants, then we have to wonder why no one went, "and there these guys ran around loosening all the bolts on those lamps and pushed them over and ran off! dam kids!"\n\nloose change and other sources also use alot of broadcasts from very early after the attacks took place during which there was alot of confusion about what happened, live news especially while something is happening doesn't always get things 100% correct and uses alot of speculation to fill in time while they figure things out.\n\nloud thuds of things like, say upper floors falling into lower ones, could no doubt sound very much like other explosions going off.\n\nthe list goes on and on, but this post is getting rather long.\n\nok so lets face it, thats one complicated plan to bring down some buildings.  you could just blow them up, blame who ever you wanted to, say you are investigating how security could have been breached to such an extent, and leave it at that.\n\nits just too complicated of a conspiracy, that would take way way too many people to keep their mouths shut.

Yes, I do.  It's very sobering to become a sceptical person about our government and to realize that they would knowingly condone this heinous act of murder.\nI once was one who believed that Al-Qaeda was soley behind 9/11.  Then about 2 months ago my wife brought home a DVD that reexamined all the evidence about how the WTC buildings collapsed, and it also showed a lot about the Pentagon attack.  Yes, I once was a person who thought that all these "conspiracy theorists" were just a bunch of nut cakes.  But, again, the physical evidence about what happened is quite shocking. \nThe web page below contains a lot of technical articles.  It is also easy to find other web sites that present a lot of information.  If you go to an "official" web site about 9/11, it's interesting to see how they side-step the hard questions that are being presented and cannot be sufficiently answered by jets simply crashing into buildings.\nSo, what does all of this mean?  We, the American public, have been duped.  But, what does that really change?  Has any of our personal lives really changed all that much?  How much of a difference does it personally make to us if it was Al-Qaeda or our own government that murdered innocent American lives?\nAnd so, we go on.  We live each day.  I ask myself what can I possibly do to get the truth out?  Being on the other side, one of the "conspiracy" nuts, is hard .. it's hard because no one wants to believe you.

Bin Laden was undoubtably behind the 9/11 attacks, although prior to 1996 the US Government did much to help sponsor his activities in the mistaken belief that he could be controlled by them.\n\nDuring the Russian invasian of Afghanistan the CIA supplied Bin Landen and his Taliban associated with much military hardware and training, something that came back to haunt them on 9/11.

Wake up people.  The World Trade Center was bombed for the first time when Bill Clinton was in office.  Were you born in 1999 or something?  We did absolutely nothing about that.  The USS Cole (watch your spelling, hdchackz) was bombed on Clinton's watch - we did nothing.  9/11 happened less than 8 months after Bush took the oath.  It was in the works long before that - during Clinton's watch.  Don't try and blame Bush for that one either.

Well the key word in there is 'we'. Even if our government was able to determine the true origin of a staged t. attack, I'm sure 'we', the public, would never be told.\n\nAs for whether or not it is possible: sure.

I believed the official story of 9/11 for a while. Then I woke up. Though some of the official story may be true, too much of it has been de-bunked and now it just doesnt add up. People can beleive what they like, but lets take a look at some issues of concern. Great question!\n\nWe are a country that spent five years and $100 million investigating President Clinton. We probed the depths of the Iran-Contra scandal – a debacle that would have never come fully into the public eye had a special investigator not been appointed.\n\nThe 9/11 Commission interviewed two of it's own members and spent only $3 million.

You're trying to say the government was behind 9-11?  Please, go back to reading Harry Potter and playing computer games.  Stay away from conspiracy theories.

A great deal is implied in your question. If I read it as I think you intended it, you mean to illicit some of the various conspiratorial beliefs surrounding the events of that infamous day.\n\nThe official, and still controversial version of events, are recored in the “9/11 Report.” You can get a copy for free here : http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/911... if you care to “thumb” through the 580 some odd pages of report.\n\nAs an aside, there were no 737's used in attacks. Two 757's and Two 767's were used to attack economic, military and, it is believed, political targets. I say believed because in addition to the World Trade Center, it is believed that the White House and The Capitol were among the originally intended targets. \n\nWhile you can get a chronological breakdown of what happened that fateful day, most people seem to miss the fact that Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda succeeded in proving that radical Islam and the West were at war. This is a fact that few American leaders from either party chose to recognize,  until 3,000 Americans were murdered on 9/11. See references to the prior WTC, the Khobar Towers, Embassy's in Kenya and Tanzania, and the USS Cole bombings, all of which occurred before 2000 and about which nothing was effectively done.\n\nIf you are inclined to entertain conspiratorial ideas about 9/11, fine, but keep this in mind;  contradictions don't exist. If your faced with one, check your premises because one or more of them must be wrong. This is not to say that conspiracy is impossible, but rather, try to reconcile the facts before moving on to conjecture. \n\nWe remain at war to this day.

There is no doubt that much more happen that day, which government is not telling us. If we recall that it was the time when the polls for president Bush were going down. But right after the attack the rating went up! so something did happen. Now the file is closed we will never get the true answer. Anybody who will raise the question will be labeled terrorist and unpatriotic.

yes, that is true...have you ever seen the lose change video?  you need to watch it, its a VERY interesting take on 9/11...\n\nhere is the link for it\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5137581991288263801&q=loose change\n\nits a video that was made to show that the government could have been behind the entire thing...kind of scary.

islalamofascists were responsible for 9/11. You can find tons of doctored video. There is not doubt at all about who is responsible.

I believe that the government had knowledge of a threat--Condoleeza Rice said that in her 9/11 testimony, didn't she?

Well, the 911 hijackings and terrorists attacks have been declared actions by B.Laden and his supporters.\n\nWith that said, there has since come to light a lot of evidence to support that it was an inside job by 'unknown' government officials. Most suspect Cheney and Rumsfeld.\n\nThere has also been quite a bit of evidence questioning whether or not actual planes hit the Pentagon... but rather it was a bomb.\n\nEither way, at this point, it is pure speculation and I highly doubt we will ever know the truth within our lifetimes.

9/11 is a conspiracy and the perpretators are the one who is fighting fake terrorists. It was a well planned attack to create fear and to erode the freedom rights of the American people.\nCan't you see, now they are spying on your homes, peeking at your emails and tapping your phones to control you?\n\nBe aware but don't fear because justice will finally prevail and the truth will come out. The days of the Bushmen are numbered.

Sorry to hear about your loss.  I'm glad that you are prepared to listen to our opinons on the matter.  If enough people research it, maybe we can stop the bloody bath that is taking place in Iraq, in the name of defending our country.\n\nMost all the evidence that is available to us, show that the WTC buildings were rigged with explosives. Our own government had motive as was well as an opportunity to do this crime. Here is the evidence, presented for your scrutiny. \n\nFAKE CONFESSION\nThe official government story is that the 9/11 attack was orchestrated by Al Qaeda, which is lead by Osama bin Laden. The proof our government provided was a video with Osama confessing to the crime. The problem with the video is that the person in the video does not look like Osama bin Laden: See picture.\nhttp://911blimp.net/vid_fakeOsamaVideo.shtml\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk519bkcLjg\n\nEVIDENCE\nThere are many other factors that do not fit the official story. They include, secondary explosions that were seen, heard, reported, and recorded by firefighters, in and around the WTC buildings.\nhttp://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-4574366633014832928&q=firefighter+bombs+in+the+building\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcRs1fv8i3I\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHz9YWVgJWM\n\nHere is a video clip showing a trail of explosions just before the destruction wave.\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_DkzhonpGY&mode=related&search=\n\nMolten, beyond red hot, "steel" was video recorded coming out of the South Tower just before it collapsed. Jet fuel does not burn hot enough to turn steel to liquid.\nhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=ExrVgioIXvk&search=thermite\n\nA chemical analysis of the solidified molten iron,conducted by independent firms, yielded an explosive, called Thermite. Also found was a WTC core beam; most probably cut using the demolition cutting charge (Thermate). No core beams were left standing beyond a few feet high, for it to have been cut by an Iron Workers torch.

Listen to this retired general, He says, "The Plane does not fit the hole."\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2VoUN-7RVU&eurl=\n\nMOTIVE\nThe New Conservatives (Neo-Cons), with the help of their friends, started planning the invasion of Iraq, shortly after Pres. Bush took office. Apparently, the plan would include the attack of the WTC buildings. It did this to get the support of congress and the nation, to attack Iraq. Read it from their own PENAC document. Pay special attention to the section entitled "Creating Tomorrow's Dominant Force" page 50 and the top of page 51, where it states we need a new Pearl Harbor attack to get the ball rolling.\nhttp://www.newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf\n\nOPPORTUNITY\nWitnesses saw a work crew going into the WTC buildings with rolls of wire, supposedly for internet upgrades. Tenants were moved around while crews "upgraded" the cable systems. The Port Authority cut power to the building for a whole weekend, just prior to the attack; shutting down the entire security systems. Witnesses also heard crews operating heavy hammering equipment that left a gray cement like dust, in the building. This activity took place just weeks before the 911 attack: The Port Authority had released control of the buildings to Larry Silverstein, six weeks prior to the attack: He made upwards of $5 billion off of the attack.\nSee "9/11 Mysteries" video: Time = 1:03:55 through 1:07:00 and 1:19:55 through 1:24:09\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6708190071483512003&q=911+mysteries&hl=en-CA

concidering how our govenment couldnt even prevent 9/11 from happening or FIND Bin Laden, trust me, the govenment isnt as capable as they WANT you to think they are. Theyd rather control thru fear and misinformation.
