Was 9/11 an inside job?

Was 9/11 a conspiracy?

You have to be exceedingly ignorant (or worse) to believe it was in anyway connected to anyone outside of Al Qaeda.

Let's see. Al Qaeda needed funding for the job. Pakistani ISI General Mahmoud wired $50,000 to Mohammed Atta (Saudi). Now the job can get done if noone interferes. Germany, France, Israel, Russia warn USA of impending Al Qaeda action. Presidential PDB says Al Qaeda wants to strike within the USA. Mossad is setup to film the event across the East River. Gee, who could have known. 16 Saudis and 3 Arabs. Why didn't SnotForBrains attack Saudi Arabia?
 
No, it probably wasn't an inside job. It might have been, but I would not give it great odds. However, if it was, it just means that evil people who hurt others for personal gain are just that much more evil. We already know who the bad guys are. Whether or not they're working together is largely irrelevant.
 
Just curious. Of course, we'll put some political meaning to it. Hopefully this covers the majority of you.

I keep seeing Truthers bringing up "inconsistencies" in videos. They point out what they see as scientific irregularities, but what are they comparing these images to? Never before, have jetliners flown into buildings at cruising speed and 110 story-high skyscrapers collapse.

The TRUTH, is that they have no TRUTH. Only some wild arsed theories and beliefs. None of them based in reality, and most of them in constant conflict with themselves.

OK, so what do I believe? That nothing crashed in the WTC? That it was struck by missiles? That it was struck with remote control jets with nobody on board? That the steel was sprinkled with a magic Fairy Dust that made them weaker? That President Bush had explosives places all over the place? That it was ordered by the White House? The Mossad? The Saudi Royal Family? Saddam Hussein? The Tooth Fairy?

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to TRUTHERS. Personally, I just sit back and laugh as I cut them all apart with Occam's Razor.
 
Do we need to apply a little more effort towards the mental health of our citizens?

My answer is yes.
 
I don't meet any of the poll options. But 9/11 was not an inside job. I think it's incredibly foolish to believe that it was.

We also got a lot out of these two wars that 9/11 was used to justified. Where's my under-$2-a-allon gas and Uncle Sam's complete control of the Middle East?

You realize that not all truthers believe that there were explosives placed in the buildings, right?

Nazi Germany only needed naive and indifferent followers to kill millions of people.

Your point is valid. Problem is "truthers" such a diverse group that they all feel they are correct. It weakens their theories.

My opinion, if a President wants to go to war, chances are we are going into battle. There is not enough creditable evidence to show that Bush, et.al. planned or carried out 911. The way some of the theories go, bet we could find a way to link it back to anyone of us.
 
Depends on what you mean by inside job. It certainly wasn't planned and executed by the U.S. government if that's what you mean. However, I don't doubt that we knew more about it than we're letting on, just like they knew a lot about the Japanese plans to attack Pearl Harbor and used it as a means to get into WWII.

Exactly. I find it disheartening that if someone pictures a "truther" they think of someone who believes in rogue missiles and planned demolitions.

I for one believe that those planes were hijacked and people actually were on them. Who the mastermind(s) were still seems a bit foggy, and there are quite a few (in)conveniences to just accept what the government says as the truth.

I hope that it was just an attack by a terrorist organization, but there are inconsistencies that seem to raise a little flag. Combine this with the government basically saying "**** you" regarding any documentation or evidence on the matter, one should be suspicious.
 
Do i believe that the US gov "did it"? No... Do i believe the Bush administration ignored warnings or did little to nothing to try to prepare or stop the attack after receiving information on it? Yes.

Let's just look at Bush's presidency: Economy -- kind of fell to pieces at the end there, didn't it? Iraq -- well, they sure have a strange way of welcoming liberators.

Given that, how does anybody think they were capable not only of pulling this off, but in keeping it a secret for 10 years? Sorry, there's no way.

Assuming you second-guess the government's stance on the Kennedy assassination, they've kept that whole mess a secret for almost 50 years.
 
Why did Bush get a second term?

He got that, but the effects of the Great Depression gave FDR four terms. Did he start the Depression? Overall, how have we benefited through these wars? Lower oil prices or a more stable Middle East (considering that most of the region was already well within our influence)?
 
Anyone who believes that it was is either delusional, or has a personal problem against critical thinking.

I find that many times the two overlap...
