Responsible for attacks is my vote. U.S has a history of helping an ally with war, then leaving when either the going gets tough...or after 'victory' and leaving a destroyed ally to fend for themselves. Afghanistan has a previous history of the latter with the U.S, and after hindsight of the whole Iraq debacle and later Bush reelection, I can see how the U.S is responsible.


(see Afghan/Russian war)

(...then see Reagan/Saddam trade arrangment...mix a little Iran in there and you start seeing a trend)

You shake enough hornets nests, sooner or later you get stung.

No, there's none. Absolutely nothing points that way. Ask any structural engineer.
Tell me about the center supporting metal beams that had a clean angled cut, exactly as used in controled demolitions?
And what about the pools of molten metal found in the rubbles even weeks after?
Thats a sign of Thermite, thats know for its abillity to melt metal as a hot knife through butter..
Even chemical testings done at Ground Zero shows traces of Thermite and even Thermate, thats a patented version of Thermite...

And dont even get me started on the "pancake effect", that would only leave the center supporting beams still standing, while the floors would fall down alone, at a much slower speed i might add... The supporting beams was designed to take an impact like that...

Oh and the sub basement explotions, moments before the planes hit? Explain that...

I urge you and everyone else to see the movie Zeitgeist, it has more evidence than you would ever need to change your mind...

I have no problem believing that the US government might be holding back embarrassing information, but the wilder conspiracy theories are just downright ridiculous. And they are a disgrace to the people who died in the attack.
Even ignoring the fact that the people who died in the attacks are dead and, because of their condition, are unable to give a crap, how is this in any way a disgrace to them? What does the speculation that they might've been victims of a government's plan to further their goals have to do with it?

Just looking for logic here.
My point was that a lot of the people who believe the government was involved don't seem to understand what actually happened. Many of the people inside died horrifyingly painful deaths, and the police, firefighters, and other rescuers also experienced similar deaths or injuries. And for people to come out and say that the government did this on purpose, to their own people, is completely absurd. If I was a NYC firefighter that was out there and someone said that to me, I'd probably punch them right in the eye.

He asked how I felt about 9/11. I answered. I fail to see why people are so upset over one person saying different from everyone else.
Ask a Neo Nazi about Jews in front of a bunch of jewish people.

Maybe then you can comprehend why people get upset.
Are you comparing me to a Nazi? I find it quite laugable that just because I do not care I am being insulted as deeply as that.

But I digress. I will not lie about my feelings just to make people more comfortable, so we must agree to disagree.

I couldn't give a shit. It didn't happen to me and it had no impact on me, so why should I care?
The Patriot Act
The Department of Homeland Defense
The TSA
Current Muslim relations
Afghanistan
Iraq

You're a small minded child that needs to learn to pay attention to the world in which they live and how everything is connected.
Call me small-minded if you want. I still won't lie and say I feel things I don't. As for all that, I am not an American; the only consequence I can remotely relate to is Iraq.
Wherever you live, I'm willing to be there was legislation being kicked around and alterations to how things are done that are due to 9/11.

Sources?
It's always the same, you people claim all kind of stuff and never refer to any credible source.
The best you give are some random names and supposed quotes.
Sorry, but something like
"OMG I TOTALLY SAW A MISSILE!!" - John Doe, rocket scientist
doesn't make me buy your story.
And don't even get me started on the practice of conspiracy theorists citing each other. Great going, really.

But give me the sources and I'll explain those "inconsistencies" to you. Without making shit up.

Dude im sorry that i cant remember all that, but i tell you, Zeitgeist gives you those sources... Believe me, that 2 hour movie will change your view on alot of things, not only 9/11.. Whats the worst that can happen?

The UK; the only visible act of which I have seen is harsher airport security, and as I don't go on holiday that makes not one whit of difference to me.
Pushes for more and more camera based surveillance?
The whole "we want to spy on the internet" mess that the UK government was pushing for?

Fat lot of good it did stopping the 7/7 attacks.

And spying on the net? Where did that come from?
Why do I know more about your news than you?

Seen it at some point in time, wasn't impressed.
And I'm far less impressed by the pretentiously titled "Zeitgeist movement". Just your average "everyone conspires with everyone againt all of us" shenanigans.

Gah, this thread reminds me of why I don't like to walk around in the city I live in... some bastards have put up the black and white "9-11 was an inside job" stickers all around. I live in Norway, so I don't see WHY they even put up these things... Whenever I see the stickers I get the irresistable urge to tear them down...

To be quite honest, I find it offensive when people start saying that it was all a set-up and the like, because I can't help but to think of the families who lost their loved ones during 9-11. It almost strikes me as a "let's piss on the dead ones graves and laugh while doing it" attitude.

So yeah, I believe the story as told by the USA.

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. Zeitgeist is old news and the 'evidence' they present, which is the same as many related movies like Loose Change, has been debunked [http://conspiracyscience.com/articles/zeitgeist/part-two/] a long [http://www.debunking911.com/] long [http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006.htm] time ago [http://www.loosechangeguide.com/LooseChangeGuide.html] by oh so many people.

It's always funny to see how conspiracy theorists in general act as if they're experts on any given field, like in this case on things like structural engineering, and it's funny how they barely, if ever, go with scientific proof and statements from experts on the field. Hell, it's not even evidence, all the 'evidence' boils down to is "Isn't this weird huh??" Like those straight-angle cuts, nothing except a photo is given with which you add "well ain't that odd?" Ever thought that, gee, that photo could've been taken after the attack when they were already starting to clean the place up? Because you know, a split second after the attack it might've been a bit more dust clouded and the area a bit more lethal to take such a well-focused and clear picture.

I noticed the same thing with the "moonlanding is a hoax" group, that was pretty entertaining. Random people who spend some time on the internet suddenly knew aaaall about photography and rocket science. Uhuh...

Funniest thing about the whole situation is that for conspiracy theorists it's apparently logical that:
1: The United States government managed to set something like this up, a humongous operation featuring thousands of people that have to be involved, huge amounts of material moved, swats of money, bribes, etc etc.
2: That this 'secret' is apparently so well-hidden that it's being unveiled by random people who watched some footage, know fuck-all about structural engineering and related topics, and have access to the internet.
3: And while the US government apparently has no problem killing about 3.000 and tens of thousands of people in the conflicts thereafter to further their own dastardly goals, the makers of movies like Zeitgeist and Loose Change that unravel all their dirty secrets are still walking about.

So at the same time the US is super powerful that they pull off stunts like that, but at the same time they're incompetent on a Loony Toons-like level to be uncovered so incredibly easily. And all that apparently makes more sense than the idea that the US fucked up so bad with it's foreign policy that some people got really pissed, hijack some planes, bypass the grossly ineffective warning system and dive-bomb 2 buildings. Actual conspiracies, like the Watergate scandal, were always small-time operations to minimize the risk of getting caught, yet even Watergate got split open rather quickly.

And even if you want to go for a conspiracy, why the hell would they go for something that intricate and ridiculously complicated when they could've just hired some suicide squads. Instead we get this diabolical plan shoved under our noses. Is it really that hard to imagine that some people really want to hurt the US and it's citizens?
More related to the question asked by the OP:

Yes I find it very much possible that the US is holding back embarrassing information, information that could show even worse mistakes or cases of gross negligence that let this tragic event happen that could further damages their credibility. Did they actually do it? No actual evidence points that way.

The worst case scenario is that the US goverment covered up some of their own intelligence fuck ups/failed attempts at stopping it. Nothing more. There's simply no evidence for a conspiracy. Conspiracies/lies are allot harder to keep secret then most people think. Especially when there are a ton of people that WANT to believe in this sort of stuff.

Mmkay. Only responding to you here because of the personal attack and because you seem to live in a world of peace, kindness and butterflies.

Insurance companies deny people's treatments and medication (and they'll go lengths to find a bullshit reason to do so) for monetary gain, correct? [footnote]Think pre-Obama, as I'm not too informed about the health-care bill our SOCIALST COMMIE PIG friend passed.[/footnote]

Criminal organisations have no objections against outright killing people, correct?

Now, if letting someone die while saving, let's say, 50 thousand dollars, is understandable, why wouldn't the gain of billions be worth the cost of a few thousand?

You sound pretty desperate in your reasoning. "These guys don't do this", "Not here". How can you possibly say that? What, do you think your government is a bunch of saints? They've long been bought out by corporations, and if something brings profit, to them, the ends justify the means. And by the way, they can only gain from situations like this. Politicians aren't the ones going to war, they're the ones being able to push their agendas and getting money dropped into their pockets because of it.

By the way, I haven't said that I believe it's an inside job, that's you putting words in my mouth, I was merely pointing out the flaw in your argument.

The damage on Pentagon hardly looks like one done by a passenger jet.
I'm sincerely sorry for putting words in your mouth. I just assumed that, since you were "pointing out flaws", that you were another one of the 'government did it' douchebags that my initial post was railing against so angrily. That's also the reason for the insult. Conspiracy theorists just... really piss me off. They all deserve to be punched in the face by Buzz Aldrin.


However, I do strongly disagree with the idea that we went to war over oil, or the possibility that people who work in government would attack said government. I'm a realist. Not an optimist, but not a cynic. I do not inhabit a "world of peace, kindness, and butterflies", but neither do I live in a Tom Clancy novel of conspiracies and absurd government corruption. We didn't go to Afghanistan to further any agendas, we went to combat terrorism, and got a little overzealous, invading Iraq in the process. The boring truth is that we didn't invade because of some evil corporation's schemes, but because we had a president and a people who wanted blood after the attacks, and weren't too concerned with the potential problems of a war.

And now my rant is done. There is a reason I don't usually get involved in threads like this; I wind up typing essays.

In the same way that we British let the Japanese attack America in order to get them to help during the Second World War, America may have let the fundamentalists attack the Trade Center to have some other reason to invade the middle-east... apart from Oil that is.
