CBS Report On 9/11: Ground Level Explosion Caused WTC To Collapse

What's that mean?

Its truly sad when people distrust their own government more than those whove killed millions of innocence, ala Saddam
Or any other of the hundreds of other bombings, again, killing whoevers in the blast vicinity
Or cuts the head off of reporters
I could go on, but the point is moot

Their own government?

No government is the government of the people, it is the government of the politicians. If you guys trust your government why do you have the right to bear arms?

I don't think it is to defend the borders.

Also pot calling the kettle black on all but the head off reporters and even then I reckon there are plenty in the states who would do that at the drop of a hat. Didn't some census taker get killed earlier this year or last?

For that basement room in mom's house.

In the end, if an American-led invasion ousts Mr. Hussein, and especially if an attack is launched without convincing proof that Iraq is still harboring forbidden arms, history may judge that the stronger case was the one that needed no inspectors to confirm: that Saddam Hussein, in his 23 years in power, plunged this country into a bloodbath of medieval proportions, and exported some of that terror to his neighbors.

Im thinking people (soldiers) are pyschos etc until its their brother, father, or good friend, then it changes, or someone they know gets killed uselessly by some poor oppressed non pyscho

\,,/ Saddam.

I never dared touched the NRA sticker my father had on the family car for all those years. He smoked a lot of grass and killed a lot of men, gawd dam the Pusher Man.

If the US was there to take the oil, they would've done it by now. They are there to try and root out the terrorists that were a threat to us, and everyone else.

Our troops are putting their lives in danger, to try and stabilize a long time war torn area. They couldn't keep their own affairs in order, and the US was hit. Now, we're cleaning up the mess.

The crap you just spewed is a slap in the face to all who died on 9/11, and while fighting overseas.

I'm not privy to what happens in the oval office, or the Pentagon.

There was intel that Iraq had weapons. They certainly had the resources, and the hostility to do it. They had already tried to assassinate President H.W. Bush. They were firing on enforcement planes in the no-fly zone. They kept denying UN inspectors access. It was fishy, and the US government tried to get the UN to do something about it. They didn't, so the US did.

Saddam was a cruel dictator. I'm sure the oppressed people are happy he's gone. They seemed pretty happy when they yanked that statue down.

The oil comment is absurd and laughable.

By denying the UN inspectors a chance to freely check everything out, they easily could've been moving weapons around from place to place. They could still be over there somewhere.

If evidence shows up that Pakistan is assisting these cave dwelling terrorist cowards, then I have no doubt that they will also be confronted. It's in Pakistan's best interests, to be transparent, and help crack down on these groups.

If you can prove your theory, then its nothing
If you cant prove the US is getting all this oil, then its made up

And, once again, how much oil does Afganistan have? And nukes for that matter?

I bet the next claim will be, 'that's what spilled all over in the Gulf. That was Iraqi oil.'

Well, if I took that Saddams own brother felled the towers, then Id be all out on him
Maybe thats the rumor behind Iraq?
There was evidence of them using chems against their own people, as well as the Iranians, so they existed

"During the Presidency of Saddam Hussein, the nation of Iraq used, possessed, and made efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Hussein was internationally known for his use of chemical weapons in the 1980s against Kurdish civilians during and after the Iran–Iraq War. It is also known that in the 1980s he pursued an extensive biological weapons program and a nuclear weapons program, though no nuclear bomb was built.

After the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf War, the United Nations located and destroyed large quantities of Iraqi chemical weapons and related equipment and materials throughout the early 1990s, with varying degrees of Iraqi cooperation and obstruction.[1] In response to diminishing Iraqi cooperation with UNSCOM, the United States called for withdrawal of all UN and IAEA inspectors in 1998, resulting in Operation Desert Fox. The United States and the UK asserted that Saddam Hussein still possessed large hidden stockpiles of WMD in 2003, and that he was clandestinely procuring and producing more. Inspections by the UN to resolve the status of unresolved disarmament questions restarted from November 2002 until March 2003,[2] under UN Security Council Resolution 1441, which demanded Saddam give "immediate, unconditional and active cooperation" with UN and IAEA inspections, shortly before his country was attacked.[3]

Lying about WMD's to the american people.<<<

My post on another forum to some long time friends a while time back. The people calling the U.S a terrorist nation need to get their head out of the sand. Stranger you have your mind up your arse. I thought you were a bright guy. Don't bother with any further puke you are trying to spew. Being misinformed does become you though.

It's not there.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Resolution

The resolution cited many factors to justify the use of military force against Iraq:[2][3]

Iraq's noncompliance with the conditions of the 1991 cease fire, including interference with weapons inspectors.
Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction, and programs to develop such weapons, posed a "threat to the national security of the United States and international peace and security in the Persian Gulf region."
Iraq's "brutal repression of its civilian population."
Iraq's "capability and willingness to use weapons of mass destruction against other nations and its own people".
Iraq's hostility towards the United States as demonstrated by the alleged 1993 assassination attempt of former President George H. W. Bush, and firing on coalition aircraft enforcing the no-fly zones following the 1991 Gulf War.
Members of al-Qaeda, an organization bearing responsibility for attacks on the United States, its citizens, and interests, including the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq.
Iraq's "continu[ing] to aid and harbor other international terrorist organizations," including anti-United States terrorist organizations.
The efforts by the Congress and the President to fight terrorists, including the September 11th, 2001 terrorists and those who aided or harbored them.
The authorization by the Constitution and the Congress for the President to fight anti-United States terrorism.
Citing the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, the resolution reiterated that it should be the policy of the United States to remove the Saddam Hussein regime and promote a democratic replacement.


Please read this VERY carefully. This is why we invaded Irq. Not because Bush lied. This is what history will show, not Bush lied.


The resolution "supported" and "encouraged" diplomatic efforts by President George W. Bush to "strictly enforce through the U.N. Security Council all relevant Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq" and "obtain prompt and decisive action by the Security Council to ensure that Iraq abandons its strategy of delay, evasion, and noncompliance and promptly and strictly complies with all relevant Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq."

The resolution authorized President Bush to use the Armed Forces of the United States "as he determines to be necessary and appropriate" in order to "defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions regarding Iraq."

So, the Iraqi government has the right to sell to the US?
This is a bad thing?
What about this?

So, the great Saddam did all this, just for money
As to proofs of Iraqi oil, where is it?
Is it not being purchased to this very day?

So, whos been using propoganda here?
And whos swallowing it?
Once again, I ask you, wheres the oil?

Lol at that resolution, that was bullshit oh and alford, what do you mean trying to find them, they are the head's of governments like china. What about all the dictators that were allowed to butcher people, why were they not stopped?

Seriously people, the Iraq war is not and was not ever justified. The destruction done to that country and the countless civilians murdered directly and indirectly is shameful.

My questions are these
Were we to let Saddam enter into an international takeover, world wide disruption, and ignore what he would also then be capable of?

Hes also ruthless against his "friends"

Anyone defending a Saddam led Iraq is nuts
I say, today, the Iraqi people are better off

I once was asked by an Iraqi citizen, if I thought George Bush would free Iraq, and I told him its a very strong possibility
All I got was a large smile

I wish we never went over there, but I think it was justified. And as to the ridiculous oil claims- we never took any oil! Period! That's a myth- where's the oil? Why are we still purchasing oil in greater and great quantities if we somehow have all the oil in Iraq?

In fact, the war COSTS America far more $$$ than you think. It was a mistake to think we could change a culture that wants to live in the Stone Ages. That's the only mistake we made.

Scotland.

Important Political news story of the day.

An in depth inside explanation as to why the Iraqi War Act is LOL to the average nimrod guy on the Scotland street. His kilt dress is too high found to be at the center of it the midunderstanding.

Important Legal news regarding facism in Scotland. Sporran wearers may need a license.

Now theres a moniker if there ever was one heheh
And killing all those poor Otters, methinks we should have hired Saddamto kill them, wherein, he wouldnt have complied with authorities, where some would align their ways with his actions

Stranger if our troops were not in N. Korea for the past 60+ years protecting our interests ALL of Asia would be communist. That includes Japan, Taiwan ALL of Asia and Scotland. You would be under the rule of a man like this. My family would no longer own the thrown over there in wee weed land.

Stranger I PM'd you with the address of the family castle. Would you stop by and check on the Lady. I left some bad tasting stuff in the microwave if you need a bite.

I meant that the US is after the Taliban and Al Qaeda leaders, or anyone who is supporting them.

I would add that things didn't turn out so well for Hitler, Stalin, or Mussolini. Given the chance, Kim Jong ll would not hesitate in attacking South Korea. Our troop presence has kept a close on him for that very reason. It's not just Saddam.
