Yes you did debunk it and thanks for that. It sure seems like the post I first responded to that you were dimissing the importance of 9/11 and terrorism in general. Those terrorist are supported by the unfortunate victims of collateral damage! What do you think Benghazi or the compound where they finally found Osama Bin Laden was about? Do you think the Pakastani government and military knew Osama was there? I believe they did I believe that terrorist are supported by a larger group of Muslims than you or Jimmy are willing to admit (at least to yourselves)! Make NO MISTAKE I phukin remember how many of those sons o bitches were filmed dancing in the streets celebrating 9/11 that day! They are coming in MASS at some point! I prefer to be prepared for whatever. You can believe whatever you want.
I may have come off as dismissive, albeit unintentionally. What do I think of Bengazi, or the Osama kill? Two different topics, for sure..
With Bengazi, I've felt that it was just a total screw-up by our CIA and state dept to properly assess the threat, and also the failure to react appropriately. The 'outrage' over the video was clearly a useful tool of al-queda to start a protest, while they could slip in with the protesters to incite the further violence that occurred. I think the people who made and posted that video are/were intent on starting an international incident, by sheer disregard for other cultures. We hold our free-speech rights to be sacred, but these people used those rights to morally assault what another society holds equally as sacred. The problem isn't the response, it's the symptom. We never acknowledged the problem, and once again reacted to the symptom. I don't believe there was any cover-up or other crazy conspiracy. I think the Obama team got thrown to the wolves by the CIA, and had little to do with any of it, yet suffered the after-math, and any lies or cover-ups at that point were nothing more than an attempt to save face.
The Osama compound.. None of it makes sense. That they have now made a movie about it, and have pushed that pile of bile so hard on americans confirms my disbelief that any of it even happened. There's no proof that we killed OBL. Why didn't we take him alive? Why didn't they record any of the assault on helmet-cams? Why did they so quickly dump the body (and no, I don't buy the 'respect their beliefs' line.. they live in a desert, they don't take every body to the middle of the ocean and dump it.. that's just BS.
As far as those dancing in the streets.... Do you honestly think the media gave us an accurate representation of what that really was? Really? They showed us feeds and pictures taken from satellites (most likely government released.. faux news does NOT have satellites watching the middle east).. and they tell us what exactly? That a bunch of people were happy and dancing in the streets.. was that Iran? Was it lebanon, or maybe Libya? We have to understand, that many people in the middle east HATE US, yes. Why? That's a whole different topic.
Going back a step, do you also remember at least SOME news about the many nations that came to our comfort? Pakistan, Iran, and even Libya came to the table and started a peace dialogue. There were candlelight vigils held by millions across the globe, including many middle eastern countries. Iran offered the olive branch by offering to give tactical and military information on Iraq, which we literally spit at them and said 'we don't need your help', btw.
Most of them knew that by this happening to us, that we would be likely to respond the way we did (OBL Played us like a violin), and most of them did NOT want that, because of the perceived repercussions. The news reported all day long about people dancing in the streets, which in the end, was a very small percentage of the overall muslim community. I imagine some percentage of US citizens (especially the compound whackos) also danced and partied at the news.. let's face it, there's people everywhere that felt that we had it coming. Our foreign policy breeds terrorists, it's a cold hard fact. But we refuse to acknowledge that or address it meaningfully.
Anyways, the people dancing in the street were the exception, but sold to us by the MSM as the rule. It was part of their whole sensationalist effort to drag the USA into invading the middle east, and without question, it worked. I was embarassed at the time, how easily people just bought into it.. wanted those turrists to PAY. Well, now we've lost more troops in these wars than the initial attack costed us.
Oh, and as far as comparing 9-11 to pearl harbor..
Pearl harbor was a direct attack from a nation with a defacto government, as a stated act of war (actually it was a message to us, to stay out of their way in expanding into the orient).. clearly we had a specific enemy and a nation to declare war on.
9/11 was a bunch of criminals who by luck and ignorance on our side, was able to carry out an attack that reaped considerable destruction, considering the effort. They have no national borders or government that declared war on us. They are no better than a drug cartel or gang of outlaws. They claimed asylum in afghanistan, to which we should have sent black-ops teams in, located and decimated their hive, and left. Screw the taliban, we shouldn't have asked for permission if we intended to invade anyways. All we accomplished by doing that was to tip off OBL that we were coming (3 months in advance!), giving him time to relocate and spread out his hive.
