>>>The more important thought I have is that Bush & Co. knew we were going to be hit somewhere, and they also did not realize it's extent would be so catastrophic.<<< What's an actuary do? What's risk analysis all about? How do auto makers and insurance adjusters pick their odds? One would have to think questions like these enter into the mindsink at the top of a presidential administration that cares so little for truth, social justice and self-determination of people. Playing along with a worst-case-scenario, what could be a possible calculation? Downside analysis: -- Two planes hit two towers and a between one hundred and three hundred people die. Upside analysis: -- Between one and three hundred people die, but Bush shakes of monkey of how he got [s]elected off his back, goes to war becoming a war president (war presidents historically have always been reelected in American politics. With control of the presidency, both houses of congress and good odds control of the courts billions of dollars can be made for anyone within the insider food chain. [read: presidency preserved/money made vs. a few hundred deaths, i.e., the Pinto!] Didn't Ford make a calculation like this with the Pinto? Could this also be so of the neocon GOPwingers, especially since other benefits could be achieved as well? And perhaps none of the scheming parties thought so many would die from the incidents, and that it might have seemed worthwhile. Bad things have happened before; bad things could happen again. I mean how could they ever have made that Pinto decision? Is this what you're getting at, SiouxPal? Regarding the conspiracy theory as to how exactly the twin towers came down? Is there a fit for this in any of the above? By the way, just out of curiosity, anyone got any good videos of buildings being demolished under controlled conditions?
