The BBC has an excellent piece on that matter, it's called the "Power of Nightmares"

Basically, western society is on the verge of collapse, moral corruption of individuals who fail to take responsabilites for any of their actions, thanks to an obscene economic prosperity. The NeoCons believe (and the Islamists for that matter) that "wars", "fears", and "nightmares" are needed to hold society together and to lower individuals unrealistic expectations in terms of social needs and prosperity. 911 was bound to happen no matter what. It was needed by both camps to "hijack" and "curb" the obscene prosperity of the American Economic machine and to save society from itself, from its own destruction. And of course Clinton got a blowjob so that really pissed the NeoCons off but that's another story.

Yeah, it's called the 'Chicken-Little" Syndrome.

Watch out, Butterfly - the sky is falling! :o:D:D

Hey I don't believe in all that crap, but your friends do, that is the Christian Fundies and the Bushies. Aren't you one of them ? :o

I will admit, I do not buy into all of it, but it is interesting reading and many links bring up valid points, and "video and photo evidence" ?

The story seems to have holes in it on both sides. The difference between these holes on either side, is that many will never be filled because of government intervention/prevention. :o

Somewhere on this thread it was mentioned that there were explosions in the basement just before the planes hit. If this was true, why did the buildings not collapse immediately?

good point, dont know the answer.

on I go... :D

read my post again, it seems that you have missed my point. I understand that English is not your first language but you have made so much progress over the last 3 years, I would have thought that by now you would be fluent in English :D

Nah, it's got to be something else. I might buy Chirstian fundies wanting to go back to the age of church rule, but it stills seems so pointless. Where is the power in this play and who gets it? Where does the money trail lead? Has anyone really followed the rich white man behind the curtain?

What else ya got Butterfly?

What do you mean what else ? This is not some James Bond movie where the 2 camps are fighting for a big toy to attain absolute power. Shhh, you are watching too many movies.

And to answer your question, yes it's a pointless struggle. A dillusional battle where both parties are sealed in their own little world and filled with their own illusions. Even those who don't believe in those fairy tales (Bush for example) finish by believing in them because of the power trip it brings along. At the end both camp will fail, self destructing from inside, like Communism did in the late 90s.

Sorry to disappoint you that men will fight over their own illusions and not big toys like in a James Bond movie. But again reality is NOT Hollywood.

There you go being a little prick again. Man, what gives you the right to act likt such a little snot. Smart you may be, but know everything you don't.

What I am trying to tell you is that humans fight "over" things. No, not big toys. Money, control over somthing or someone one, land etc. What I am asking you or any one is what is the real motive? So , many of us latch on to the story we like and ask few questions. We try to defend why this one story we have choosen is the right one rather than seeing if it stands up to scrutiny. You go the anti Bush way because you don't like Bush not because that story with stands the tests placed on it. It's the same for people like Boon Mee. Do you understand now?

Well I am being a snotty prick because you are asking very "naively" is that all we got ? :o

It's about power struggle, power ego trips. Shhh, how hard is it to get it ? do we need to spell everything for you to understand ? :D

You don't sound stupid and I am sure you have the brain power to understand all this, so your naive questions seems a little bit too naive from you. I would have expected better questions from you.

I wouldn't care about Bush himself (I am sure he is a nice NASCAR dad to take a drink with) but what I do care is to have a lazy, ignorant and poseur SOB as POUS who think his shit doesn't stink and have all the right answers because God speaks to him directly. He would be a Dem, I would have the same reaction.

Inside Inside 9/11

Four years later, a remarkable documentary.

"Whenever liberals remind us that not all Muslims are terrorists or anti-American rioters, I always think that not everyone in the pre-civil-rights south was a church bomber or member of the Ku Klux Klan. Even then, there was lots to like about the south. Southerners always have been known for charm and hospitality — rather like Palestinians today, whom the foreign press finds much more appealing than brusque and bossy Israeli soldiers..."

Read the whole thing - it's a good read.

read every word, unlike yourself with the links I post :D

I think your link is bordering on a brainwashed woman reading the liberal handbook. I think the FBI was satnding over her as she wrote it.

Now read a few of mine and make an unbiased judgement of all the "facts" outlined. :o:D

Nothing to see here. Move along please.

Iraqi Chemical Stash Uncovered

BAGHDAD, Aug. 13—U.S. troops raiding a warehouse in the northern city of Mosul uncovered a suspected chemical weapons factory containing 1,500 gallons of chemicals believed destined for attacks on U.S. and Iraqi forces and civilians, military officials said Saturday.

"Monday’s early morning raid found 11 precursor agents, “some of them quite dangerous by themselves,” a military spokesman, Lt. Col. Steven A. Boylan, said in Baghdad."

But wait, there were no chemical weapons in Iraq, right? Right? Hello. Is anyone home? :o

"U.S. military photos of the alleged lab showed a bare concrete-walled room scattered with stacks of plastic containers, coiled tubing, hoses and a stand holding a large metal device that looked like a distillery. Black rubber boots lay among the gear."

"The suspected chemical weapons lab was the biggest found so far in Iraq, Boylan said. A lab discovered last year in the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah contained a how-to book on chemical weapons and an unspecified amount of chemicals."

"Chemical weapons are divided into the categories of “persistent” agents, which wreak damage for hours, such as blistering agents or the oily VX nerve agent, and “nonpersistent” ones, which dissipate quickly, such as chlorine gas or sarin nerve gas."

Back to you, Gent...

People continue to find chemical weapon components in Iraq even at this late date, as they have for the past few years.

It kills me that bleeding hearts like yourself just bury your head in the sand whenever these kinds of reports surface.

You wouldn't consider something a weapon of mass destruction until someone actually uses it. That's a bit late isn't it?

Another clueless bot posting a link on Chemical weapons.

Hint: WMD == Nuclear

I know that Rummy briefed you into believing that WMD are also chemical, but nobody but you and your like is buying it :D

Another hint Cletus: Alleged chemical weapons is not finding WMDs that Rummy and friends were so sure about.

Thanks for playing, try again :D

So they found a bleach factory?

Maybe you've buried your head in the sand. Did you even read the link you posted. If you did you would have read this, "Boylan said the suspected lab was new, dating from sometime after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. " This 'alleged chemical weapons factory' (note the word 'alleged') was created AFTER THE US INVADED. IT WAS NOT THERE WHEN SADDAM WAS THE RULER.

I should have guesse that Boon Mee would have left out the most important piece of information in the article. He tried to pass this off as evidence that Saddam has WMD when the article he quotes flat out says that this stuff was assembled AFTER SADDAM WAS REMOVED BY THE US MILITARY. Every link that Boon Mee has posted that I have checked out has proven that Boon Mee distorts the intent of the article by leaving out important data or flat out saying that the article makes some claim when in fact it doesn't. I've mostly stopped even taking his posts serioiusly because he has distorted the information from his links every time. I only checked this one out because if it was correct it would make me think differently about Bushes claim of WMD's....but Boon Mee once agian distosrted the intent of the article. It has reinforced my view that Boon Mee's posts are all trash.

Hint: WMD == Nuclear

Wrong again!

Is there no end to your feeble-minded approach to these topics?

Everyone and their brother knew that Saddam coveted nukes. But not even the French, Pakistanis and Russians were crazy enough to sell him all the goods. Hello! Wake up! Saddam was never a threat with nuclear weapons. This is obvious the even the most casual of observers.

However, having clearly demonstrated the willingness to use equally deadly chemical weapons against his own people, in the 1980's war with Iran and again the 1991 Gulf War, he was a clear threat to use chemical WMDs which he did have, as well as the short and medium range delivery vehicles.

Face facts! Contrary to popular opinion, the world and the middle east are generally more stable with him out of power. All the other wanna be power brokers in the middle east are now plainly aware that their power remains only up to the point that they choose to play nicely with the other kids in the sandbox.

As I hinted at in an earlier post, you persist in waving your left hand so fast and furious that you are blinded to the obvious realities of the situation

I think everyone is forgeting biological weapons, which have the potential to kill much more for longer than a nuke.

Didn't Saddam have a women working on bioweaponary?

:o

Priceless. Too bad you and your likes were saying otherwise on the eve of the invasion. Chemical Weapons was NEVER the issue prior to invasion. This has just been spinned that way ever since it became clear that the whole invasion was a lie from the start

Hint: The US didn't go there for any WMD, might it be Chemical in your little narrow mind or Nuclear. It was for the OIL :D

Still the link given by Boon Mee (if you bothered reading it) is no evidence of such weapons and there HAS BEEN no ACTIVE CHEMICAL PLANTS found. Ok happy now ? :D

They are but that was not the issue prior to the invasion. The UN inspectors destroyed all the "plants" and "equipments" long time prior to the invasion and the US government was very much aware of it. They were just scared of secret Nuclear research but of course that also proved to be wrong.
