9/11 must have been assisted by the US government

There will be no winner in this debate simply because no matter what 2,973 innocent Americans lost their lives....... On the day of the attack, details about the alleged perpetrators emerged with a rapidity that is remarkable given the assertions by high ranking administration officials that no one had ever considered that an attacker could fly planes into buildings. Within hours the identities of several of the alleged hijackers were known, and Osama bin Laden was being presented as the prime suspect. Within three days the FBI published the identities of all the alleged hijackers. It was being presented as an open-and-shut case. Academics helped to explain the collapses of the Twin Towers in articles in respected publications. Just two days after the attack, a scientific paper purported to fully explain the unprecedented engineering failures using "elastic dynamic analysis." "Why Did the World Trade Center Collapse? Simple Analysis was published in the Journal of Engineering Mechanics ASCE on 9/13/01. Peer review of this paper and of other theories volunteering to explain the collapses was conspicuously absent. The mass media were consistent in avoiding asking the most obvious questions. Why did the air defense network fail to respond? Why did Flight 77 target the recently fortified mostly empty portion of the Pentagon? Why was the Ground Zero steel removed and destroyed as fast as possible? The media shirked their public service obligation of acting as watchdogs of the government, and instead became cheerleaders for the administration's war plans for central Asia. The vast body of print reportage about September 11 attack is notable for an abundance of contradictions. The timelines in the Complete 9/11 Timeline series reveal numerous inconsistencies, such as between reported times of events. These discrepancies, combined with the lack of evidence, discourage investigation of facts of the attack. Meanwhile, the impending attack on Afghanistan, the alleged Islam-terror link, and homeland security got the attention. FACTS ABOUT 9/11:(1)Fire has never prior to or after 9/11 caused any steel frame building to collapse. The sudden, vertical, explosive, and total collapse of the Twin Towers at near freefall speed can only be explained by controlled demolition. (2)The WTC steel which if fully examined could have relvealed the effects of explosives was quickly shipped overseas and melted down. This was an unprecedented violation of federal crime scene laws. (3)Whenever contact is lost with any airplane fighter jets routinely take to the air to investigate. This commonly occurs about 100 times per year in well under 20 minutes. But on 9/11 nearly two hours passed without any interception. (4)The Secret Service broke established protocols by allowing President Bush to remain in a well publicized classroom photo op long after it was known that the U.S. was under attack and he might well have been a target. (5)Unidentified insiders made millions on the stocks of American and United Airlines and those of other corporations that were likewise impacted by the attacks. These "put option" bets were made just prior to 9/11. (6)There were warnings of the impending attacks from at least eleven other countries. Also prior to 9/11, insiders such as John Ashcroft top military officers and San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown were warned not to fly. (7)In September of 2000 a group of neocon hawks many of whom would become key officials in the Bush administration, wrote that their proposed massive military buildup would proceed slowly "absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor." (8)Some of the alleged 9/11 "suicide hijackers" are still alive and well according to the BBC and the Guardian. At least five of the alleged hijackers may have trained at U.S. military bases as reported in Newsweek and other sources. (9)The Bush administration resisted the formation of the 9/11 Commission for 441 days. Similar investigations, such as those for Pearl Harbor, the JFK assassination, and the space shuttle disasters, all started in about one week. (10)"The Jersey Girls" four 9/11 widows finally forced the 9/11 Commission into existence and presented many questions, most of which were ignored. Under the leadership of Bush administration insider Philip Zelikow the final report failed to address any of the evidence pointing to official complicity. There are hundreds of additional facts that contradict the official story of 9/11. It is time for a truly independent investigation that addresses all the questions asked by the citizens.Conclusion:I would like to say that I am convinced some elements within our Government, and others were complicit in the attacks of 9/11. As you can see the evidence shown in this debate clearly points in that direction. We have pieces to the puzzle, and we KNOW who refuses to give up the other pieces. However this is America, and in America, you are innocent until proven guilty. We need a real investigation domestic or international one and do what can only be described as the right thing. Holding those responsible for the 9/11 attacks whoever they may be, accountable. It is long overdue. Justice has never been more needed. The perverse usage of that day can no longer continue. It is time to let those poor 2,973 souls finally rest in peace.The facts speak for themselves...............
