""Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it.

I guess some of you haven't bothered to read the reasons Al Q declared war on the US. Educate yourself.

Beyond reasonable doubt: best proofs of 9/11 complicity
(a short guide to the best evidence)
Best explanation of why it was allowed (and assisted) - to provide pretext for grabbing the Middle East oil fields as we reach Peak Oil, and to enable a global surveillance society
Best documented evidence - suppressed warnings (from FBI investigation of flight schools and from US allies warning 9/11 was imminent), failure to follow standard operating procedure during the attacks, Air Force and intelligence wargames on 9/11
Best theory of how 9/11 happened - the hijackers were themselves hijacked via remote control
Best historical precedent - the Reichstag Fire (February 27, 1933)
Best evidence of remote control to steer the four planes - Flight 77 was steered into the nearly empty part of the Pentagon
Best "physical evidence" - Flight 77
Best areas for further investigation (an unlikely scenario) - Black Boxes from all four planes would confirm or reject remote control theory, Able Danger intelligence program
Best politician who dares to ask inconvenient questions - Rep. Cynthia McKinney
Best questions from 9/11 family members - 911independentcommission.org
Best books about 9/11 (Crossing the Rubicon, The Terror Timeline, The War on Truth)
Best movies about 9/11 (Truth and Lies of 9/11, Denial Stops Here, 9/11 Citizens Commission)
Best 9/11 truth websites (911review.com, cooperativeresearch.org, fromthewilderness.com, oilempire.us, ratical.org)
Best 9/11 "blog" (web-log) - Rigorous Intuition rigint.blogspot.com
Best research guides - Complete 9/11 Timeline, From the Wilderness
Best "physical evidence" website - 911research.wtc7.net
Best analysis of al-Qaeda's role in 9/11
Best article about Israel's role in 9/11
Best documentation of Pakistan's involvement in 9/11
Best evidence that Flight 93 was shot down in Pennsylvania - news articles and eyewitness accounts archived at flight93crash.com
Best 9/11 whistleblowers (most credible): FBI agents blocked from investigating the flight schools before 9/11, Able Danger military intel agents tracking the hijackers before 9/11, FBI translator Sibel Edmonds, among others
Best 9/11 truth propaganda - Deception Dollars
Best analyses of "left gatekeepers" who pretend 9/11 was a surprise attack
Best smears in the media against 9/11 skepticism (focus on "no plane" and similar untrue claims while ignoring wargames and other credible claims)
Best smear against this website (anonymous slur that it's funded by Carlyle Group - in response for pointing out that not all claims of complicity are true)
Best hoax (most effective): Rumsfeld's "Pentagon missile" hoax is the most important disinformation masquerading as 9/11 truth
Best examples of creative writing generating hoaxes (Hollywood helping the government?): "nukes blew up the towers," "the passengers all landed in Cleveland and were killed by government agents," "the plane that hit the South Tower was firing missiles at the building before impact"
9/11 soundbites
9/11 quotes
best 9/11 websites and articles
On February 27, 1933, after Hitler came to power, the Nazis burned down the Reichstag (Parliament) building and blamed it on the Communists to justify a "temporary" suspension of civil liberties to cope with the terrorist threat. This is how Hitler became an absolute dictator. The "temporary" suspension of freedom lasted until German was in ruins.
9/11 was the American Reichstag Fire.

Iraq was a secondary conflict to the wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The reasons in the back of the invasion the area to "avert Saddam Hussein from making use of weapons of mass destruction". now no longer an outrageous declare given his historic previous. besides the fact that with minimum evidence to signify Iraq's involvement in 11th of September I do evaluate we rushed into conflict purely a splash too quickly. besides the fact that in the tactic we toppled a brutal dictator do some basically maximum suitable got here of it. And enable's no longer omit after eleventh of September the great majority of u . s . a . voters the area crying for conflict in direction of whoever was in charge. besides the fact that the catch 22 concern was it wasn't a rustic in fee. It became right into a terrorist artwork tension.

PROFIT: center of all USA policies
1. This is not war agaist islam but against poor muslims. Sheikhs are real culprits and funding terrorists, but they are friend of USA since they control oil supply.
2. USA never had any reasons for wars; except anti communist and for oil, weapons, money.
3. Everyone considering others as paranoid should rethink about PROFIT centic capitalism.
4. Like someone said to poor africans during civil war in which millions died, " You are not even ******".

So you trust 60 Minutes!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
So tell me about their hypocrisy!
Why did they go all "googlie" during the Clinton Administration over its mass surveillance of phone and email communication then promote and support censure and criticism of the Bush Administration for doing the same?
Have fun but be safe!
I have seen the light of 1000 stars, but none so bright as the

To believe anything Albright says is a mistake. She is partly to blame for all the crap we are in.
Now, she is out there trying to rewrite history.
FACT: The Muslims want to kill all of the people of the world that are not Muslim.
They would rather be dead than live on earth with us so-called non-believers. We cannot let them win.
Go educate yourself.

Actually Bin Laden said it was because there are US Military installations in his homeland of Saudi Arabia. Or as he would say it "Infidels on the Arabian Peninsula" or however Al Jazeera translates it.
You need to educate yourself first.

None of us!
That is why we need another 9/11 investigation initiated by Congress! Contact your congressmen and Senators.

Like I would trust CNN to be unbiased toward the Republicans. Just like I would expect Fox News to be open and honest about the Democrats. Yeah, right. Don't look now Wright, but I think there is a black helicopter circling your house.

Are you quoting Leslie Stahl as a source? "We have heard..." isn't nearly as good as Stahl's "People say..." When she is asked who "we" is and where they "heard" it, or when she is asked, "What people?" her answer is always, "You haven't heard this?" She's a muckraker, and a perpetual bringer of phony news. To answer your question, yes, I know the real reason behind the attacks.

The real reason? Because there are people in the world that are jealous of the democracy and standard of living that is available to you and me, and because those people know they can not get these things for themselves in their own country. So this is all they know how to do.
