I'm not sure you got my gist. Nate Send a noteboard - 20/09/2011 04:46:28 PM
Please don't say to justify the war in Iraq if you cannot explain why they wouldn't have made some effort to link Iraq to the attack. I mean if they are going to be evil enough to have Americans killed to start a war you would think they would want a little better link to guy they want to go war with. Sorry but the nicest thing you can say about the idea the US was involved is that it is stupid.


I don't believe the US was directly involved in any way, shape, or form. I was just saying that the idea that they worked with bin Laden is more credible than the idea that government workers did all the dirty work themselves. I think they're both ridiculous ideas, but I was saying that I think one is more ridiculous than the other.

I think the administration at the time capitalized on it in order to achieve their goal of attacking Iraq, but there's no way they actually caused 9/11 themselves.

We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:50:36 AM 1424 Views
Logic classes would be good in schools. Timthetrolloc - 20/09/2011 10:23:56 AM 959 Views
Ugh. Ghavrel - 20/09/2011 11:30:59 AM 1002 Views
Re: Ugh. Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:03:31 AM 926 Views
Something tells me that no matter who answered your questions you wouldn't believe anyway. everynametaken - 21/09/2011 02:16:52 AM 915 Views
this is a controlled demolition Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:20:09 AM 1043 Views
That is an incredibly stupid argument. Tom - 21/09/2011 01:12:38 AM 976 Views
I've seen controlled demolitions in person. They happen in the opposite order of the WTC collapses. Ghavrel - 21/09/2011 03:54:35 AM 1002 Views
Asking questions is never wrong. ironclad - 20/09/2011 12:22:22 PM 883 Views

Agreed Camilla - 20/09/2011 01:09:40 PM 923 Views
I've long advocated this for the reasons Tom states as well as others. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:49:28 AM 860 Views
I don't know if the Internet is degrading skills, or just giving stupid people a voice beetnemesis - 20/09/2011 02:33:24 PM 994 Views
There is compelling evidence that 9/11 was not what it seemed Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:06:58 PM 983 Views
No, there is not. Tom - 20/09/2011 03:19:43 PM 1089 Views
Well, the circumstances were odd at least Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:26:40 PM 956 Views
As far as conspiracies go ... Nate - 20/09/2011 03:36:35 PM 1054 Views
what would be the motive for the US doing something that stupid? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:40:31 PM 859 Views
I'm not sure you got my gist. Nate - 20/09/2011 04:46:28 PM 909 Views
I don't think there is any evidience that Bush wanted to attack Iraq before 9-11 random thoughts - 20/09/2011 05:21:09 PM 928 Views
Um. Well, sure, that would be true. If you ignored all the evidence. Nate - 20/09/2011 05:45:23 PM 997 Views
Well if you had argued that some Bush advisers wanted to attack Iraq I would have agreed random thoughts - 20/09/2011 06:35:07 PM 965 Views
But that's what I DID argue. Nate - 20/09/2011 06:47:17 PM 947 Views
sorry but you need to be more precise in your terms random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:37:36 PM 995 Views
I've always seen them as separate. Nate - 21/09/2011 03:33:14 PM 813 Views
and that is why I decided to drop it random thoughts - 21/09/2011 04:07:02 PM 977 Views
Heh. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:15:34 PM 923 Views
And the explicit statement of a Bush Cabinet member. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:59:47 AM 1044 Views
I'm still annoyed. Nate - 21/09/2011 01:58:38 PM 849 Views
I stopped responfding when suddenly realized I didn't want to be in a Bush Iraq war debate random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:53:29 PM 854 Views
Admitting error is a sign of weakness; Don Draper said so. Joel - 21/09/2011 05:37:31 PM 889 Views
and I pointed that it was was just continuin gthe Clinton policy random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:30:13 PM 936 Views
Even if that were true, it would still be flip flopping on a central Bush platform plank. Joel - 21/09/2011 05:45:10 PM 977 Views
In addition: Nate - 20/09/2011 05:57:33 PM 1057 Views
sorry but that is nothing more than a simple statement of fact random thoughts - 20/09/2011 06:40:51 PM 987 Views
This is very frustrating. Nate - 20/09/2011 07:05:48 PM 938 Views
For the war on terror? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:49:12 PM 992 Views
And what was the war on terror supposed to accomplish? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 05:12:11 PM 933 Views
That contradicts the evidence. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:15:48 PM 959 Views
Excuse me? Macharius - 20/09/2011 08:22:21 PM 1024 Views
Huh? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 08:57:14 PM 996 Views
the problem with any other theory is the make no sense random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:36:02 PM 927 Views
Contemplate this.... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 04:27:52 PM 950 Views
You just did not go Star Trek on me Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:44:28 PM 970 Views
And how did you know... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 05:17:10 PM 1039 Views
Re: And how did you know... Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:16:26 AM 1033 Views
You should watch the pilot episode of the X-Files spin-off series The Lone Gunmen. TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 08:19:15 PM 987 Views
humans tend to be very bad at critical thinking random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:58:43 PM 891 Views
Won't help Praziquantel - 20/09/2011 08:15:36 PM 973 Views

Would madam like a cane? Elaine - 20/09/2011 09:19:53 PM 1059 Views
Maybe a walker with tennis balls on the bottom. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 10:33:39 PM 440 Views
Do you think it would help? aerocontrols - 21/09/2011 12:09:42 AM 917 Views
Re: We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:10:08 AM 953 Views
Yeah, and the 100,000 pounds of sudden extra weight slammed into the towers at 400 mph...? Tom - 21/09/2011 01:05:18 AM 922 Views
Not actually the best example Isaac - 21/09/2011 01:56:03 AM 912 Views
what about the hole it cut into the frame of the building? random thoughts - 21/09/2011 03:23:07 AM 932 Views
Wouldn't make much difference Isaac - 21/09/2011 04:08:27 AM 942 Views
OK thanks *NM* random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:55:52 PM 487 Views
The fireproofing was scraped off the steel by the crash, so the beams melted. Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:35:08 PM 1133 Views
Re: Yeah, and the 100,000 pounds of sudden extra weight slammed into the towers at 400 mph...? Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 03:02:19 AM 965 Views
But how else would they fall down? Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:42:27 PM 831 Views
You would force Euler on to the masses? Two Wongs - 21/09/2011 03:21:40 PM 987 Views
You could still argue. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:06:51 PM 864 Views
I didn't mean to imply that it is no fun to argue with a like-minded person Two Wongs - 21/09/2011 04:15:47 PM 882 Views
Eh, nobody uses pure logic all of the time anyway. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:43:51 PM 952 Views
Or they could just do more math. Cold, hard, beautiful math. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:01:05 PM 877 Views
I love geometry proofs. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:10:57 PM 1003 Views
Me too <3 proofs! *NM* LaSombra - 21/09/2011 07:55:38 PM 473 Views
For pure enjoyment, here's a non math version. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:10:40 PM 911 Views
+1 *NM* Isaac - 21/09/2011 07:59:57 PM 412 Views
Now we are talking... Everyone can benefit from some basic Euclid. jh - 21/09/2011 08:32:17 PM 1139 Views
Ha. Ha. Vivien - 21/09/2011 09:56:38 PM 932 Views
As a follower of Cthulhu, I strongly disagree. Tom - 21/09/2011 11:13:55 PM 1120 Views
I really and truly appreciate your love of pure math for math's sake, but... Tom - 21/09/2011 11:10:03 PM 907 Views
Well, it requires a lot more science to really dispute things than HS can give someone Isaac - 21/09/2011 11:28:29 PM 928 Views
