If the original story of 9/11 was strong enough to stand on it's own, why do we need exercises in debunking?

Question

Why do we need Popular Mechanics and History Channel to attempt to debunk alternative 9/11 theories if the original conspiracy theory and the 9/11 Commission Report were strong enough to stand on its own?

The problem about the original story of 9/11 is in order to buy into it, you have to accept EVERY ridiculous explanation of why we were caught with our pants down. If you don't accept the ENTIRE story as truth, then with even the smallest discrepancy and the original conspiracy crumbles like a house of cards.

I'm reading the Popular Mechanics book and it debunks some of the weaker 9/11 theories (no planes, Lucky Larry Silverstein's "pull it") but doesn't address the massive Israeli spy ring that FAUX News reported on, and was then mysteriously pulled the report from their website:

It also doesn't debunk why the BBC and CNN reported WTC 7 before it did:

It also doesn't debunk why many eye witnesses reported hearing bombs:

Overall I think that the more "debunking" that goes on by these corporate interests trying to prop up the original story with lies and distortions, the more 9/11 "conspiracy theories" will flourish.

Answer 1

Jets loaded with fuel and lunatic terrorists flew into buidings...the end.

Answer 2

We were caught with our pants down because we had been in a state of national denial for nearly two decades, beginning with the slaughter of over 200 Marines at their barracks in Beirut during the Reagan Administration. We had the first attack on the World Trade Center in February of 1991 and treated it like a law enforcement problem, despite the fact that nearly all involved were carrying false Sudanese passports and the attack was launched on the second anniversary of the day that Kuwait was liberated from Iraqi occupation. We turned our heads when Usama Bin Laden issued a fatwa in 1998, declaring war on the U.S. and the crusader nations. That was followed by the attack on the USS Cole on the Navy's anniversary and the attacks on two of our embassies in East Africa on the fifth anniversary of the day the first set of U.S. military boots hit the sand in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Shield (the troop buildup which preceded Operation Desert Storm).
Then we were attacked on the anniversary of the day in 1684 when a Christian Army stopped the forward advance of a Muslim Army into the heart of Central Europe outside the gates of Vienna. It also was the anniversary of the ground-breaking ceremony for the Pentagon building in 1942.
Simply put, we went to sleep. We lost the ability to see what was coming because we were too concerned with going to the mall and watching "Entertainment Tonight" rather than follow the advice given us by Dean Rusk in the 1960s: While we're asleep, half the world is up to some kind of mischief.
But, we seem to have created a whole new cadre of pseudo-metallurgists who wouldn't know a melting point from a pencil point. We have also come up with a whole army of celebrities who tell us the "truth" about 9/11 when most of them need guides to find their cars in the parking lot.
Get a copy of the book I've listed in the source box below. It's only 160 pages long. But, it is to Al Queda and the rest of the Salafist Jihadists what "Mein Kampf" was to the Nazis. These guys are serious and they will only be glad to set off mass explosions in the rear ends of all the "American Ostriches" they can find. That's good news for them, because there sure are still a hell of a lot of them left after the last attack.

Answer 3

Because there are too many people who will believe in anything, including lame conspiracy theories, even though there is no way Bush or anyone else could have pull off a stunt like this without someone else knowing. It would have taken 100s of people to do this. Planes hit the trade center. That is the facts. In addition, there are way too many holes in the conspiracy theories.

Answer 4

Just read/or watch "war on democracy"by John Pilger, Dropping your own buildings, and killing a FEW people , then blaming it on a non-existent ideology and the American people believing it WOW now we can have a legitimate war on terror hahaha

Answer 5

Because their afraid youll find out were fighting this war for israel.
