I think they could have done more to prevent it, as was the document they received in August of 2001 stating that Bin Laden determined to strike in US, but I do not believe they were involved. There are terrorist out there. They attacked us many times, such as OKC bombing, US Embassy in Kenya, USS Cole, WTC 93, and in Iraq, so this proves that they want to kill us and they showed us on 9/11. 9/11 was a wake up call and many people refuse or are blind to wake up. Also I believe many people cannot comprehend that 19 terrorst can cause so much chaos, but all it takes is 1 and the right situation.
So in closing, I believe the US government let us down by not stepping up security and acting before 9/11, but on the other hand, we are fighting terrorsts now and if we don't do anything, they will just attack us again, just like before 9/11 when we didn't do anything. The world is filled with crazy people, some are over there, some are over here.....

Most of what I have heard on the subject of 9/11 is what we here in UK classify as the 'blame culture'. When things go wrong, as they did on 9/11, people start looking for someone to blame.
I heard and read some really stupid stories in the press and media at large concerning the inability of the CIA to do it's job. The CIA is mainly preoccupied with activities abroad and not focused upon what is happening inside the USA. It's role in security may have subsequently been altered somewhat, certainly since 9/11. Whatever the present circumstances, the activities of the CIA are never really going to be public knowledge. What is reported as a 'leak' from a CIA source, may be an intentional 'leak' to throw terrorists off the scent or to make them think that the CIA is clueless, when in fact it is not.
What then is the CIA? Anyone who reads the US Constitution will soon find a section which deals with the issue of the right to bear arms. What the Constitution says, is that the 'people's militia, have the right to bear arms'. This then is probably the role or part thereof, of the CIA - a militia to protect the people. It is of course much more than that.
Blame does not cure a problem.
Stay alert. If you see anything strange or what to you looks illegal going on near where you live, report it.

Not me or any rational people.
Further, if you believe this, you must believe that Bill Clinton was part of the conspiracy, or actually the one who concocted it. Let me explain: Before George Bush was elected Bill Clinton had chances to both kill and capture Osama Bin Ladin. Both times the answer was no. In one situation, the government of Sudan actually offered Bill Clinton OBL, but he turned them down. In his own words Bill Clinton said, "I didn't think we had a legal reason to hold him". However, the link between OBL was pretty clear in the case of multiple attacks on the US, including the first World Trade center bombing.
The second occurance that would have stopped OBL was when the CIA had a clear shot at him while he was training terrorists in Afghanistan. The CIA asked for approval to "Take him out" but was told no by none other than Sandy Berger. Later Sandy Berger was caught stealing documents from a secured area relating to the Clinton Admin's dealing with the events prior to 9/11, some of which may never be recovered. A coincidence? Doubtful.
As for Richard Clarke, he was there while all this occurred, but his own political alliances are evident.

No.
It comes down to this the thousands needed to pull off an operation like 9/11 by OUR government without a single mistake or no one has come with proof that will stand up in court.
A town where 1 bj couldn't be keep under wraps.
It is unbelieveable to think there are people who really out there who buy the crap that Bush or even Clinton did 9/11.
There is a poll that say 43% of New Yorkers believe the consiparcies.
We need to get a grip on reality and face the fact the Muslim terrorists out there and want to kill us.

well remember that, according to Cheney, the entire war has been an enormous success so far. My bet is that the phony peace prompted by the surge is designed to give Bush and Cheney a moment around May to say about all of Iraq what Cheney has just said about the south. It's fine. We won. We're redeploying. But only the Democrats want to retreat. Remember: the facts in Iraq are irrelevant to Cheney. What matters is domestic politics. And he's setting himself up for a declaration of victory relatively soon. At least one other person on earth will pretend to believe him.
On the morning of September 11th, 2001, Dick Cheney was running several war games in the north eastern portion of the United States. These drills included many hijacking scenarios, where commercial jets were hijacked and flown into buildings. At the same time Cheney had arranged for a drill involving a bio attack on NY. This resulted in FEMA setting up a command post on pier 29 in New York on September 10th.
Some of these drill were scheduled for later in the year but Dick Cheney rescheduled them and made sure that they all took place on the same day. This was unprecedented. The war games involved live fly exercises, and electronic drills where fake blips were placed on radar screens. Cheney was in charge of a communications system that superseded those of the FAA, NORAD and NEADS. Some of the drills possibly included remote control planes.

Yes, there are people out there who genuinely believe that the Bush Administration conspired to create the events of 9/11. Whether this was so, is up to your own judgement. Personally, I don't believe it, though he did use it as a pretext for going into Iraq, by saying there was a connection between Al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq. I don't believe this has ever been convincingly or satisfactorily proved to be the case.
I believe the Bush Administration did conspire, however, with the FBI, CIA and Pentagon to cover up how badly they dealt with intelligence collection, analysis and operational failures in the weeks leading up to 9/11 and what happened on the day itself. Let's face it, nobody in the U.S. Government looked good that day.

JFK, Robert Kennedy, Mayilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, 9/11, Anna Nicole!
If you believe the guys who write books, there is a conspiracy behind EVERYTHING! In this day and age when EVERYTHING is eventually exposed, who believes that vast, complex, murderous and potentially damaging conspiracies are undertaken by Presidents, Royalty, etc. And anyway, do you really think that George Bush is clever enough to carry through something like that? Piffle, but there are always suckers out there who will buy the book and take it all in!

you're kidding, amazing? You of course do no longer bear in mind the international on September 10, 2001. Bush grew to become into the biggest irrelevant humorous tale of a frontrunner who had no skill to sell his very own schedule. A month later he's a hero with an approval score of over ninety%. as long as he stored the yank human beings quaking interior the boots approximately terrorist threats, he could bypass any piece of legislations he needed. And he did. maximum of it related to assisting out the 4 hundred richest American families. i do no longer think of Bush orchestrated 9/11, yet of course, there have been extensive advantages to be reaped from any such scheme. the only individual interior the international who benefited greater beneficial than George Bush grew to become into perchance Gary Condit. On September 10, 2001, it grew to become into all Condit each and all of the time interior the information media. the guy could no longer take a unload without somebody asking him approximately his lacking female chum...

No I cant believe that one. I think that is a conspiracy theory to far. I think the main reason for the hijackings in New York were the official line....Al Qeda terrorists.
Conspiracy theories are becoming a mainstay of British media these days, Diana, 9/11 etc, etc.
Its the new U.F.O. sightings that were all the rage in the 70's and 80's. Some one said to me, "have you noticed how rare U.F.O sightings are now that everyone has video/cameras in there phones?- good point I thought.

anything is possible and it would be easy to agree with the conspiricies and say yes,however,as much as i detest bush[no offence to usa,i hate blair too],i dont agree he's a murderer.ive watched all the documentaries,films,read articles,books etc..on this subject with an open mind.some are very bias and one sided and dont show the whole picture.i think bush failed his people by not stepping up security and not taking the threat of terrorissm serious enough.there are a lot of questions left unaswered and there is some pretty good evidence that it could have been a conspiracy,but in my thoughts,no,i dont think it was.
