Re: Why the hell would they choose a target like the WTC that would hurt the economy and all of these businesses.
Because blowing up the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City wasn't enough shock & awe to persuade the American public to move to a perpetual war footing. In fact, Murrah hardly managed to move the police state legislation it was designed to further in the Congress.
Now when it came to pushing the USA PATRIOT Act through Congress, not even 9/11 was quite enough, so we had the domestically created anthrax terror mailed to the Democratic leadership in the Senate to make sure that they got the message.
Besides which, the WTC isn't really necessary for the purposes of the militarist-capitalist clique. And as you may have noticed, whoever attacked the Pentagon took extreme measures to make sure that the command & control side of the building was not harmed, in spite of the fact that apparently the building would have been much easier to hit on the East Side where all the brass have their offices.

Re: Think about it this way: this administration and much of our government are very much beholden to corporate American.
But you must distinguish between the war profiteers, who had everything to gain from a "new Pearl Harbor" and the financial sector, who actually had a lot to gain when WTC 7 collapsed, and destroyed the only hard copy evidence for about 2,000 active SEC investigations into corporate fraud.

Re: You really are completely sick.
I'm reminded of Gandhi's thought. "First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they attack you, then you win."
Well, we've arrived at step two, my friend. Time for you to step up the attack, old boy! ;')
You will be hard pressed to find that my "sickness" is anything other than my homesickness for the America that we used to love and which George Bush and the rest of his rapacious band of thugs are hellbent to destroy as quickly as possible.
Say, old timer, can you help a fellow out? I can't seem to get my government to answer any of these questions, can you?

You know, it strikes me as being somewhat odd that I've striven mightly to answer these questions in the last 3 years, and I can't seem to get any satisfaction. Especially from the government. Why do you suppose that might be, Z? |
