First of all, let me state for the record that I am a big supporter of President Obama, and I think Mahmoud Ahmedinajad is the head of a repressive, seriously fucked up regime. However, when Ahmedinajad said, in a speech to the U.N. yesterday, that 9/11 was an inside job and it was time for an international investigation, he was right. When Barack Obama said, in response, that it was a hateful statement, he was full of shit.
Nowhere in Ahmedinajad’s speech did he say that 9/11 was a good thing.
Obama continued “… particularly for him to make the statement here in Manhattan, just a little north of ground zero, where families lost their loved ones, people of all faiths, all ethnicities who see this as the seminal tragedy of this generation, for him to make a statement like that was inexcusable.” This is absolute nonsense, and a man of Obama’s intelligence knows it.
It was not an attack on the families who lost loved ones.
The fact that everybody sees this as the seminal tragedy of this generation is all the more reason to get to the bottom of it, to reopen the investigation, to examine all of the facts, to make George Bush, Larry Silverstein, Marvin Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz and everybody else who signed that PNAC paper saying they wanted a “Pearl Harbor style event” to testify under oath. It is time to take a serious look at the collapse of building 7. It is time to examine the physics with an open mind.
The way I see it, if someone has the means to commit a crime, the motive to commit a crime, and the inclination to commit a crime, that is to say, they have commited similar crimes before, that makes them suspect.
Means: Oh, yeah, George’s dad was head of the CIA before managing Reagan’s presidency and then his own. George himself may have been too stupid to be directly involved but he was president and could sign anything Dick Cheney asked him to. Marvin was director of security for the World Trade Center and the building’s owner, Larry Silverstein, profited tremendously from their destruction.
WTC7=WTF?
Add a couple of CIA people working as mechanics for UA and AA, and a crew to plant the explosive devices, maybe 25-30 fit young right wingers, mercenary types, and you’ve got the crew that could have done it. Oh, yeah, they had means.
Motive: The “Pearl Harbor style event.” Mark my words, if the whole affair ever unravels, that will be their defense: Roosevelt did it, too.
Inclination: These are the people who overthrew Mossadegh, staged the Gulf of Tonkin thing, and overthrew Allende. These things are now admitted, not suspected. Killing 3 thousand civilians wouldn’t bother them a bit. Can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.
Obama didn’t address any of that. Like the Republicans before him, he just hid behind the memory of the victims. Shameful.

Good for you, agree completely about Obama’s characterization of Ahmadinejad’s UN speech as “hateful” and “offensive.” Surely Obama was encouraged to say all that lest he offend AIPAC.
I agree with Ahmadinejad on this issue of 9/11, and on most of what he said in his speech. He called for women to soften their image and focus on their children and husbands and marriage. He called for respect for all religions and Holy Books of all peoples. He called for the nations with WMDs to disarm them before they accuse Iran of ‘getting the bomb’. He called for the Palestinian people to have their own secure, profitable homeland…which they had before the winning nations of WWII divided up their land by force and planted Israel. Israel and Jerusalem were desolate lands for centuries, no one cared about the land. So does winning a World War in Europe and Asia mean we can chop up whatever other distant country that some victor wants a piece of ?? A small ‘homeland’ for Israel is fair I guess, but they have become the runt on the playground sticking their tongue out at the bullies and then running behind their protector, the USA, for cover when the bullies retaliate. Also, Israel has not signed the NPT yet expects Iran to abstain from having what they have and threaten to use against Iran. So, I guess this makes me ‘offensive’ and ‘hateful’, which simply means I dare to think objectively and free of the US Right-Wing propaganda machine. As for the US and other delegates walking out in the middle of Ahmadinejads speech….going out of their way to use a central aisle….well, THAT is ‘offensive’ and ‘hateful’ if every anything was. They criticize other countries for not ‘coming to the bargaining table’, then walk out on a speaker they disagree with. That is ‘offensive’ and ‘hateful’, to say nothing of being ARROGANT….and the whole world saw this.
Somewhat O/T but those who see 9/11 as the ” seminal tragedy of this generation ” are guilty of myopia at best and willful blindness at worst.. To take just one example, the damage inflicted on the civilian population of Fallujah (by US forces) was probably equivalent to having 9/11 occur every couple of weeks for at least half a year.
If you go to Iraq and talk to people they will ask you why no one in the US seems to see this.
Not O/T at all, you are right about America’s self absorption, but Fallujah wouldn’t have happened without 9/11.
Agree. And still II worry that afer the next ghastlyness we will be saying “this would not have happened without Fallujah”.
I’ve always suspected a conspiracy was involved in the execution of the 9/11 attacks, and I also agree that Ahmedinejad’s statements – although he is a loathesome man heading a loathesom regime – were not hateful, per se. Why were no fighters scrambled to intercept the airlines which had obviously been hijacked until it was too late for them to effectively intercept them? If Flight 93 was brought down by a struggle inside of the airplane between the passengers and the hijackers, then why was debris from the plane found more than a mile from the crash site? Furthermore, why was this only reported on the day of the attacks and then thrown down the memory hole? Why were the Israeli’s who were caught celebrating and videotaping the attacks from the New Jersey side of the river allowed to return to Israel? How is it that the United States was running simulations of this same scenario on the same day, effectively muting any military response? Why did the FAA destroy the tapes of interviews conducted with the air traffic controllers immediately after the incidents? Were the security tapes from the months during which Larry Silverstein owned the WTC reviewed to identify any anomolies, i.e. demolition teams planting explosives? Could the fact that Halliburton was facing bankruptcy due to asbestos lawsuits acquired in the Dresser Industries acquisition have played a role? If we’re all supposed to know what happened on that day now, then why won’t the FBI release all of the videotapes of the plane which was alleged to have hit the Pentagon? They immediately knew to confiscate all of those tapes, yet they’ve only released three inconclusive frames which show nothing but an explosion. Why did George Bush and Dick Cheney only agree to be interviewed, not under oath, with no video, audio, or written record, for only 30 minutes, and only together?
I could go on and on, but my point is that the official, blue-ribbon sanctioned 9/11 report was nothing but a whitewash. It didn’t address the real issues, but only served to placate an ignorant and incurious public all too eager to buy whatever their right-wing media spoon feeds them without ever applying any scrutiny. Until we have widely publicized testimony from all involved, under oath, then we won’t have had a legitimate investigation.
