Well, if the bombs fail to explode like in the second series of London bombings New Yorkers will beat the living shit out of the terrorists rather than let them run away. Thank god I live in a violent and armed society. :D

No-tighten up all security and find these scumbags wherever they lurk, skull-fuck them soundly and despose of their bodies in pork rendering plants...There is no path to the 60 virgins through pork fat.

Regardless of whether Swilatila was being quite articulate in his statement:

Any sufficiently determined and clever killer will always make the kill. All we can do is try to minimize the damage and promote a better and cleaner recovery, rather than lapse into chaos and fury. Remember what happened last time that problem occurred? We had innocent people getting gunned down because they happened to be brown and South-Central Asian. Not Arabs nor Muslims, just standing in front of angry, armed and thoughtless people.

What happens to your body, in the Abrahamic religions, isn't actually related to your quota of good deeds or sins - especially if it happens against your will. So this might satisfy your desire for revenge and pork-fried Muslim (or Muslim soap) but wouldn't actually affect his course in the Afterlife.

It would make people angry at you, though. That's a solid proposition.

Nice. Personally I prefer dipping them briefly in boiling bacon fat and feeding them to hungry dogs while they're still screaming. This should, of course, be televised worldwide. They get contact with two "unclean" animals before dying and Allah can come and get them our of a dog's guts or wait until they've passed through.

No, Bush should give up the war. sure terrorists bombed London, but that was to punish the U.K. for the war they are fighting in. However, Al-Qaeda did not do 11/9. Bush did, so Americans would not complain when they were stripped of their liberties, and Homeland Security was created to stop REAL terrorism not the stuff that Bush did. Thats why it came more than a year after the attacks. As for closing the airspace, Bush did that so it would not look like he started a terrorist attack, when the truth was he did.

It's one thing to blow yourself up, it's another thing to join an organization knowing that it may lead to your capture and a humiliating and religiously questionable death broadcast to everyone you know. Personally I'd love to see captured terrorists who are convicted of conspiring to kill my people dressed as women or something equally offensive to them prior to their public executions.

I wasnt proposing torture, just defiling remains. I'm not looking for revenge- I want scumbags that have already acted to be hunted mercilessly. Annihilated when caught, shaved from head to toe by filthy sluts and sent to the great beyond with a fat fried pork chop shoved up their ass so it doesnt fall out.. All their friends have to be aware of this-they will never rest and never get away with anything-in death, their perverted and pathetically stupid goals revealed and no martydom. Just disgrace. No respect.

I don't think those thoughts are likely to occur to someone so filled with righteous anger that he's willing to die for a cause. Courage of that sort (it is courage, even if it is courage to do evil things) tends to make people blind to the consequences.

As for dressing like women, well... a number of suicide bombers have been women, as I'm sure you know. And they aren't stupid either: why wouldn't they dress as women if it would help them get to a target better? How about using women as their agents? They've certainly done that before. Plus, we have something called the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States that rather thoroughly prohibits arbitrary punishments like the ones you've suggested.

Well... US law prohibits arbitrary punishments, not to mention that both military regulations and US law prohibit summary killings.

I also don't see how shaving someone's corpse and sodomizing it with pork chops shows his pals anything but how depraved you are - after all, they don't see it as something he himself is suffering. He's dead! His body is just an empty shell. (And so it is in truth, by the way: your consciousness, as the product of brain activity, is erased within minutes of death as enzymes turn your brain into mush.)

No, the Greys caused 9/11 in order to kill the RSP (Reptillian Saucer People) ambassador who was dining that morning at Windows on the World. To accomplish that they implanted mind control parasites into the heads of a bunch of Saudi Arabians living in the USA. Fortunately the RSP ambassdor escaped in his cloaked Portable Rocket Pod and convinced Bush to attack the Grey base located in Afghanistan. In order to be able to deny extraterrestrial involvement Bush had to make it seem like we were at war with the Taliban.

Makes as much sense as your theory.

Thats incredibly ignorant. To the point of frightening.

Bin Laden is from where, again? He's no fucking Iraqi. He's no fucking Afghan. He's daddy's little rich Saudi. A sick, twisted, spoiled prick, taking advantage of religion.
If we withdrew troops from the rest of the planet tommorrow, attacks on American soil would follow shortly afterwards.
We have to stay on the offensive-chase them wherever they hide and kill them. Once we are on the defensive, we've lost.

Yes, the United States does need to stay on the offensive, if only to keep Iraq and Afghanistan from collapsing into civil war and thereby opening them to more breeding of the terrorist meme ("the end justifies the means"). However, fighting terrorism isn't merely a thing to do in the Near and Middle East amongst Muslims.

There are terrorists who are Christians who were born in the US. There are terrorists who believe in Communism who were born in Germany. There are terrorists who believe in a sort of Buddhism who were born in Japan.

Their targets are, variously, doctors, government workers, subway riders, and in general innocent people who aren't actually fighting them.

They're no less terrorists for not being Muslims. But, at least in the US, I don't see any serious attempt to prevent terrorism by non-Muslims, or any attempt to hunt them down, with a tiny handful of exceptions.


I almost forgot - we seem to believe that the end justifies the means, as well, no matter how vicious or illegal those means.

No. It is not courage. Those individuals are brain washed into thinking that murdering innocent people can be a path to virgins in heaven. They really do think they are going to be rewarded for murdering someone. So if you really beleive something, even if it is false, then you have your own selfish motivations and this is not courage.

That person believes they have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

Courage is when you put your life on the line, and believe you have something to lose.

I think you are making a false distinction.

If a platoon of American soldiers were pinned down and no help forthcoming, and the enemy fighters were overwhelming them (which has happened), and those soldiers broke out of the encirclement, blitzed the local enemy command post and then ran for safety, we'd call that courage.

Besides, if Muslim terrorists think they have nothing to lose, why do they sometimes falter? Could it be that they do actually fear death and pain the same way we do, only their conviction that what they're about to do is right usually overwhelms their instinct to self-preservation?

Of course they are. An RSP patrol cruiser was flying past our planet at the time. It beamed the hijackers aboard in order to study the Grey's mind control parasites. They're currently living in a terrerium in my basement, which is one of the entrances to the massive RSP base located under the USA. The terrerium mimics the hijacker's natural habitat.

Why would they falter? Because the wised up and realized that the people who were manipulating them may not be right.

If one believes himself to gain from an act, that act does not take courage. The whole concept is against the very nature of courage.

Now if someone is pinned and their only chance of survival is to defend themselves, that is not exactly courage either. It is natural.

Examples of courage can be taken from what happened on 9/11. But not from the Terrorist side.

Look at the firemen,and policemen who lost their lives going into those buildings and trying to save people. Dont tell me that they didnt know there was a good chance they could be killed. Most of them had a lot to lose. They had families. Yet, they still had the guts to try and help some stranger.

Examples of courage can be taken from what happened on 9/11. But not from the Terrorist side.

Look at the firemen,and policemen who lost their lives going into those buildings and trying to save people. Dont tell me that they didnt know there was a good chance they could be killed. Most of them had a lot to lose. They had families. Yet, they still had the guts to try and help some stranger.

That is courage. Your identifying that word with Terrorists makes you look silly.
It takes courage to risk your life (but especially to certainly die) for a cause, no matter what. Nobody is ever really sure of what lies beyond death. No true coward is going to strap on a bomb and go hunting for pizza parlours, any more than any true coward is going to strap on a helmet and rifle and go hunting for evildoers.

It's true.

Bravery is not an absence of fear, but the acceptance of death, or at the very least the possibility thereof. It takes the same guts to fly a plane into a target as it does over a target. Maybe the morality disagrees with you, but human feelings are the same.

You are not comparing apples to apples.

The terrorist are in a state of mind that accept that their deeds are going to reward them. To them, there is no doubt. The entire act is not so much for a cause, but for them to obtain wealth in the afterlife.

If you believe that you live on, and that what you are doing will reap you great rewards, how can it be said that you have courage?

For you to have courage you have to have some doubts. Something to act as a deterent for the action you are about to undertake.

Because they are brainwashed, they have none of this. They are simply human beings that have been turned into drones by religious leaders who are smart enough to manipulate them into this state.

The towers did stand up to the plane's impact. It was the massive fires started by jet fuel that ignited plastic, paper, and wood in the structure that heated the under-insulated steel supports enough to soften them that caused the collapse. Also tall buildings naturally collapse in that fashion. Nothing controlled or uncontrolled about it. Buildings can't collapse sideways like dominos because when they move far enough off center gravity exceeds the stength of the building materials and pulls them straight down.

I tend not to believe the stuff I've seen about controlled demolition, because (among other things) you don't controlled-demolition a building like that. When doing so, you strip it until it's a skeleton. If you don't do that, it is extremely difficult (and illegal - heh) to do a controlled demolition - the structural members are hidden, and (somewhat) protected. Given that demo charges are blocks of explosive wrapped in layers of heavy plastic and chain-link fence wrapped around structural members, you can see why it would be hard to do.

Plus, having both witnessed the event and done my architectural research, it just doesn't make sense that someone would wait until the building was starting to melt before telescoping it down.

Lastly, controlled demolitions sound like fireworks or gunfire, as opposed to a steady roll of thunder that gets steadily louder.

The intial crash stripped away the some of the fire proofing the protected key steel girders and the jet fuel continued to burn after the crash, surpassing the limits of the buildings infrastructure and leading to it's collapse. Were it demolitions used, it would have been not only clearly heard, but seen as well.

Waiting for it to melt would only help the process of taking it down, it would be structurally weaker!

And you can't look at it as a standard controlled demolition! It wasn't stripped cuz then people would die and then give reason to start a war.

When the second plane was picked up on radar, the military didn't scramble planes from New Jersey to take it down, instead they scrambled them from somewhere like Utah, so they wouldn't make it in time. There's so much SOLID evidence to say it was staged.

Like the "cuban missile crisis", The American government staged that and have admitted it since!!

Yep, the initial fireball was fueled by jet fuel, but there would have been alot of jet fuel left behind. Jet fuel isn't as volatile as gasoline IIRC. It's more like Kerosene. Some would have vaporized and gone up in a fireball on impact, some would have stayed liquid and burned more slowly. Plus every flamable item on the floors affected would have been set alight. Plastics can burn pretty hot.

Did you miss the part where I said it would be extremely difficult to do a controlled demolition, due to the nature of the explosive charges used? Those charges would've had to be in place for a long time - from before the spaces were finished. They work by imploding on structural columns. If you cannot wrap them around columns, you do not get an implosion - you get an explosion, which is not controlled and which throws stuff everywhere.

As for scrambling fighters: Utah? Evidence? Besides, here's how it is: if you put the two hypotheses next to each other (malevolence v. colossal fuckup) the one requiring fewer interventions seems to be the most logical one. Therefore, unless it would become clear that malevolence caused launch orders to be misdirected, I would assume that a colossal fuckup caused it. Thanks, Newton! Gotta love the principle of parsimony.

You don't have to melt it, just soften it. Ever see the warning on load bearing parts of a tractor trailer rig that says "do not weld"? That's because the heat of welding will soften the metal and make it more subject to bending or breaking under stress. Plus the metal support structures weren't properly insulated from heat and the impact of the airplane hitting the building knocked quite a bit of the insulation that was present off of the metal.

Untrue, an unchecked fire can burn hot enough to melt reinforced steel. Bear in mind as mentioned before, the initial crash stripped away a good amount of fireproofing that coated the girders.

As for dropping off the radar. Dude, anyone can do that. There are guides for newbie pilots that tell you to fly in radar range so if you go down, people can get a guesstimate of your location. It's really not such a big deal.

Several points:
-Rumor has it that retired NYPD and other mercs have been disappearing random Muslim figures to try and disrupt the sleeper network, and that the families aren't saying anything at the risk of deportation. Whether they're "renditioned" aboard the CIA's luxurious Gulfstream V or disposed of in the Staten Island landfill, who knows.

-If the current intel is correct, any WMD attack on a city will be a small general aviation plane with a portable nuke detonated in the air to maximize airburst effects. The nukes are probably stored in mosques or CAIR offices across America's cities because no judge (under this current government) has the political will to issue a search warrant for them. (In fact, some mosques have the phone number for the ACLU in the front so members know who to call if the feds come knocking.)

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46158

-Iran is about to face sanctions from the UN when the IAEA meets again this November. If they are crazy and/or stupid enough to act, it will be soon. A nuclear capable Iran means a first-strike on Tel Aviv, if no Jerusalem, which means Israel's eight nuclear subs annihilate Persia and the Arabian Peninsula, right during Ramadan.


-Another rumor is that bin Laden is in a tribal area called Der on the Afghan-Pakistani border and that if we drop a MOAB on him, the Jihadists will overthrow Mushariff and take control of the Pakistan nuclear arsenal, including three Agosta 90B stealth submarines.

If an attack occurs, I have a friend who has a camcorder ready to film any Muslims in Brooklyn cheering in public as proof. I believe 95% of Muslims in the United States ideologically support the global jihad on the West. The other 5% are the ones that were able to escape their abusive families and convert. If Muslims believe an attack in the United States will bring victory to them and increase their security, they will be sadly mistaken. The collapse of secular US government will lead to a regime undeterred by the ACLU, activists or modern notions of human rights and laws of land warfare that the Islamists believe is our weakness.

Al Qaida attacked Madrid even after their newly-elected President agreed to withdraw their troops from Iraq. Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh was murdered by a Muslim simply for speaking his mind. In New Jersey, a coptic Christian was murdered by a Muslim he debated in a chat room. Unless Global Islam adapts its collective psyche to tolerate criticism and other religions, they will only end up destroying the only Western institutions that are holding back the angry and determined elements that will use whatever scientific means to solve its problems. "Jihad" will no longer be a strictly Islamic concept in a post-democracy Hobbesian world.

There are four issues that lead me to believe that something else is afoot. I don't know what, but the offical 9-11 Commission has some gaps:

- NORAD was told that the CIA was conducting a hijack drill in Texas. By the time NORAD figured out it was the real deal, they were able to shoot down the Pennsylvania plane which was headed for the US Capital.

- FDNY radio logs, FDNY witnesses INSIDE the towers and news copter footage reveal secondary explosions near the 20th floor before the collapse.
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/eyewitness.html

- Buildings around the two towers were pelted by burning debris and yet did not collapse. WTC #7, which was on the other side of the WTC plaza was hit with much less debris and yet caught fire in the afternoon and collapsed hours later. The owner took out a massive insurance policy months prior to purchasing the rest of WTC #7. Larry Silverstein also owns the Sears Tower, which a planned attack was potentially stopped:
http://www.thewgalchannel.com/news/997895/detail.html

- 2.5 Terabytes from the Army's Able Danger data-mining (which apparently identified Atta as a potential al Qaeda hijacker in 2000) was destroyed before 9-11.

To accomplish that they implanted mind control parasites into the heads of a bunch of Saudi Arabians living in the USA. Fortunately the RSP ambassdor escaped in his cloaked Portable Rocket Pod and convinced Bush to attack the Grey base located in Afghanistan.

No, Bush should give up the war. sure terrorists bombed London, but that was to punish the U.K. for the war they are fighting in. However, Al-Qaeda did not do 11/9. Bush did, so Americans would not complain when they were stripped of their liberties, and Homeland Security was created to stop REAL terrorism not the stuff that Bush did. Thats why it came more than a year after the attacks. As for closing the airspace, Bush did that so it would not look like he started a terrorist attack, when the truth was he did.

Here's my understanding of the issue:

They caught some petty criminals in Iraq (!). Those guys said something about guys leaving Iraq (!) to go to New York and use Suitcases to get bombs into the subway.

These days, no one takes these vague colour-coded threat levels serious anymore. NY has been on "orange" since 2001 as far as I know. So now people only joke around and are very cynical indeed when the PotUS just announces some "terror threat" without a justification that can be followed (sources are always secret, hey...).

So now they suddenly come out with a more descriptive threat - in connection with Iraq.
And just now the Prez starts another "rally the people" campaign, with terrorists allegedly using Iraq to create a great caliphate. Ie, he tries to rally support for Iraq by using the terror attacks again.

It all seems one big coincidence, doesn't it?

Until we feel security you will be our targets and until you stop the bombing, gassing, imprisonment and torture of my people we will not stop this fight. We are at war and I am a soldier. Now you too will taste the reality of this situation.

And the War on Terror will not end until the West feels security from self-destructing Jihadists expecting to see Paradise. This is the tragedy of industrial, scientific warfighting and what game theorists call the prisoner's dillemma, where you don't know how far the other guy will go to screw you over, so any chance of bargaining or reconciliation is seen only as a ploy. In other words, the Global Jihad/War on Terror/Crusade will continue FOREVER unless one side is successful in annihilating the other completely, including destroying all memory and record of texts and ideology. (Not likely, unless we're hit with an asteroid.)

I'm not weighing any side's moral arguments. I don't care who is right and who is wrong. This is now a purely military competition and avoiding conflict with Islam is IMPOSSIBLE in our lifetimes. We ARE going to be attacked again and again. Open society is gone. Security is gone. Peace is gone. All one can hope for in this world is to take two of THEM for each one of OURs lost before the end.

Drunk commies: No. Stop making stupid jokes, and then saying you are being as serious as I am. Thats just a misheard lyrics animation you linked to.
No it's not. It's a coded admission of guilt from the real perpetrator of 9/11. The song used is ticket to ride, like the tickets the hijackers purchased. The "chicken to ride" reference shows that the enemy thinks Americans will be in terror. Chicken=coward, get it?
