Was September 11th an inside job?

Question

President Bush and the government funded and trained Al Quieda for years before 911. I have a hard time believing fire brought down those damn towers. (google video, loose change 2nd edition recut)

Answer 1

yes.

Answer 2

They were trained to fight Russia in Afghanistan among other groups. This "War on Terror" is nothing more then Americans cleaning up the people that helped them over the past 30 years.

I doubt very much it was an inside job, just utter lazyiness on the part of airport staff. It was bound to happen.

Answer 3

I've heard several of the theories and most of them amount to "we can't explain coincidence X, Y or Z" or "the results, debris, etc. don't look like we imagine they would," and therefore there must be a conspiracy. (And of course there are those that approach it like a detective considering any crime, by asking "who benefits?" and the actions of the Bush administration in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 to expand their powers, dissuade criticism and pass previously unpopular legislation, make them, to many, a prime circumstantial suspect.)

In spite of my feelings about the Bush administration (and perhaps in part because of them) I find the theories impossible to believe. Some, such as those that suggest the towers must have been brought down by explosives because they couldn't /wouldn't have collapsed due to the aircraft impacts, I (and my 15 years of engineering experience) dismiss out of hand, i.e. of course the towers could have collapsed due solely to the aircraft strikes. Others, like the footage of the aftermath of the strike on the Pentagon are more difficult to explain. But to me "difficult to explain" does not equate to a conspiracy. As a working engineer I see unexpected test results every day (if they were always expected we wouldn't need to test) and compared to the wreckage of the Pentagon strike, these tests are very simple events in very controlled environments with almost perfect knowledge of conditions prior to and after the events and still there are many that we cannot explain without repeating the event dozens of times.

Perhaps the biggest reason for my skepticism however (to conspiracy theories in general, including the Kennedy assassination, Pearl Harbor, etc.) is that it is impossible to believe that a secret of this magnitude involving the number of people that would need to be involved could be maintained by something as fallible as our current government (or any government for that matter...I mean we had a president that couldn't even manage to keep a particularly sleazy affair that involved perhaps a dozen people secret...the incompetence of this government just makes it all the more unlikely.) If Abu Graib couldn't be covered up and evidence of weapons of mass destruction planted in Iraq (I'm not implying that the Bush administration tried, just that if one assumes they were capable of 9/11 then this would be an obvious follow up) then they certainly wouldn't be capable of planning, executing or covering up the events of 9/11.

If we were able to dig deep enough we probably would find some cover ups and conspiracies surrounding 9/11, but these are likely all of the "whoops, I don't want the public, my bosses, etc. to realize how badly I bungled this" variety and don't imply any malevolent intent. Unfortunately cover ups of this sort increase public mistrust and only add plausability to the bigger unlikely conspiracies.

Some people develop these theories simply because they don't like the president, but I think others (like most people) are simply afraid to admit that bad things sometimes happen and that our society, our government, etc. is not as good at protecting us from harm as we would like them to be and believing in a conspiracy theory (i.e. that bad people cause bad things) is more comforting than the alternative.

Answer 4

No, it wasn't an inside job. What you need to remember is the producers of the conspiracy crap, I won't give them enough credibility to call it a theory, probably don't have single second of structural design experience. Even I have more experience than these guys, and I am not an engineer. Point is that they don't understand structural design or demolitions enough to assume they know more than creditable experts.

Answer 7

Yeah it was an inside job just like the government mind control rays that are being beamed throught your computer screen to activate the nanobot they injected into with your supposed polio vacination when you were a baby. So why worry it's all been predetermined by the evil coorporate overlords.

Answer 8

Well, sorry to hear that you have trouble believing more than 300 very credible experts who have blown the conspiracy theories to bits.

Answer 9

yes..........take a look at this on google search
army regulation 210-35+civilian inmate labor program
then do a search on Halliburton being awarded contract for detention camp construction

Answer 10

Absolutely not. Conspiracy theories like you assert are destroying our country.
