National Geographic To Run Program Debunking 9/11 Conspiracy Theories

Via Newsbusters: National Geographic, in conjunction with Purdue University, has done an exhaustive study on the 9/11 terror attacks that should debunk the truthers once and for all.
Watch the video below. After seeing that only the most wacked out lunatics could possibly believe the buildings were brought down by some grand conspiracy.

According to Newsbusters, the show will air tonight. You watching, Rosie?

    Fire doesn’t melt steel.

  • carrick

    Buzz:

    When you get some time point out where I said it had to melt.

    if it isn’t important that it doesn’t have to melt, quit yammering about what is needed for it to melt. .

    Link to one other high rise that fell down while burning, just one.

    What do I get, a cookie?

    Shit, do your own homework. There’s at least one example of that… think it happened in Egypt.

    is there a point to the exercise? It’s obvious why WTC-1 and -2 fell down. Anybody with a brain can figure that out without any trouble. (Hint a 400,000 lb plane traveling at 450 mph carrying 10,000 gallons of high-performance jet fuel may have been a “contributing” cause, lol).

    I have not said that one is more reliable than the other. I am only asking why you discount one completely, while assuming that the other is infallible.

    Plausible deniability only gets you so far. After that you start looking pretty wishy-washy.

    Everyone seems to lose sight of the fact that 9/11 was eight years in the planning. Long before Bush was President, long before he even thought about running.

    Depends on the heat of the fire.

    Buzz:

    You mean a 75 foot hole and a 12 foot hole. And yet it didn’t even knock out the windows above the impact area.

    WTF are you talking about?

    You seriously need to go back and do your homework.

    I’d suggest starting here.

    You’re just plain loopy.

  • Pilgrim

    You guys are right. Steel isn’t forged – it’s grown.

    It’s a well kept secret – known only to a few conspiracy theorists and Hollywood types – that steel is actually grown on huge steel farms and grows out of the ground in straight beams. The later the beams are harvested, the bigger they are. Nobody knows the actual whereabouts of these steel farms because they have guns and many men, and guard their secrets jealously.

    Now you know the truth. Steel farming is where steel beams come from. Fire melting steel – hah! The very idea.

    Rosie knew that all along.

  • carrick

    H:

    Clinton was bombing and killing terrorists while Cons focused and obsessed about his penis.

    Clinton was bombing empty tents while you were focusing on his penis.

    Cons were a bit more concerned with his perjury under oath, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and subjoining perjury.

    Too bad you liberals are so fucking amoral that doesn’t bother you.

  • 2Hotel9

    Yea, lyingcourt, stick to your conspiracy theories. You and Rosie are just so smart.

  • carrick

    I recall cutting through steel with an acetylene torch many times.

    Fires that use oxygen as a fuelant are limited in how hot they can get based on how much oxygen is present in the atmosphere. You can increase the amount of heat produced either by using pure oxygen as a source (your torch analogy) or by concentrating the gases in furnace so the process is given longer to come to completion.

    Neither of these are applicable to the WTCs, which of course collapsed due to failure of the steel structures as a result of being compromised by heat, rather than from some sci-fi melting of the steel frame.

    They used to show us a lot of DoD films, close air support, weapons effects, that sort of thing. One such high-speed film was of an F-4 being rammed into a reinforced concrete wall. By my recollection, the purpose was to test the strength of the structure around a nuclear reactor vessel and see if it could withstand an aircraft being rammed into it.

    The grainy slo-mo, complete with split second counters, tick marks painted on the aircraft like a ruler, and what looked like CG symbols, showed the F-4 slamming into the concrete wall.

    The wall didn’t budge.

    The F-4 was telescoping like aluminum foil. They didn’t show us the aftermath of the aircraft, but the concrete wall was merely blackened.

    It would be plausible that whatever was left of the F-4 was reduced to bits by the impact and consumed in the resulting fire. Can’t say for sure, but it seemed like there wouldn’t be much left.

    Sad end to a noble F-4…

    For the record I was mocking Rosie O’s stupid comment.

    As far as the WTC it wasn’t that the steel became liquid but rather softened and lost its ability to support the weight.

  • Buzz

    Your right fire dies not melt steel. Electricity melts steel.

    Fire melts aluminum, and copper, but not steel.

  • carrick

    On August 20, 1998, 66 cruise missiles launched by United States Navy ships in the Arabian Sea struck bin Laden’s training camps near Khost in Afghanistan, narrowly missing him by a few hours.[100]

    Because Clinton was too busy to give the order to execute in a timely manner. You don’t know that story?

    In 1999 the CIA, together with Pakistani military intelligence, had prepared a team of approximately 60 Pakistani commandos to infiltrate Afghanistan to capture or kill bin Laden, but the plan was aborted by the 1999 Pakistani coup d’état; [100]

    Like an etchosketch. It never happened. Why boast about plans that got deep sixed?

    in 2000, foreign operatives working on behalf of the CIA had fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a convoy of vehicles in which bin Laden was traveling through the mountains of Afghanistan, hitting one of the vehicles but not the one bin Laden was in.[99]

    Nothing says “powerful American tiger” like a rocket launcher attack purportedly carried out by US surrogates, now does it? LOL.

    Idiot!!!

  • carrick

    Ah, more right-wing spin and hypberbole to cover for their anger that Clinton actually went after and killed many AQ terrorists, while BUSH DID NOTHING.

    There is no independent confirmation that anybody was even injured during the attacks, just one Pakistani journalist and given the number of contradictions in his story, he’s not exactly a truthworthy source. US government sources say the camps were empty at the time of strike, possibly the result of a tip-off from somebody within the Pakistani government.

    If you accept the Pakistani journalists story (I doubt it has any validity period), then the people who were killed weren’t even al Qaeda or even terrorists at all, but anti-insurgents who were fighting against the Pakistani occupation of Kashmir.

    Too bad Hannitized is so busy bitching and crying about everything he never has anytime to do his own reading.

    Here’s one account.

    I don’t vouch for its accuracy, it’s just a place to start, but at least it’s a well researched and thoroughly cited work.

  • Buzz

    The word “arc” in arc furnace should give you a clue in how you melt steel. You melt steel in a arc furnace.

    Seriously, the left likes to talk about how the right engages in magical thinking… but what we have here is just how seriously deranged and separated from reality they themselves are.

  • robert108

    …but the same computers that say that there is climate change, that will effect how we live, grow food, where we can live…

    Since you are ignorant of this, little buzzy, I’ll school you, once again: Computers only put out what their software does with input data. When the software doesn’t describe reality, and/or the date input is not accurate or downright false(both the case with AGW hypothesis nonsense), what the computer “says” is entirely false. Computers aren’t scientists, they’re dumb tools. In the computer world, what the AGW fools are doing is know as GIGO.
    That means; Garbage In, Garbage Out.

    BTW, not only will a hot enough fire melt steel, but long before the steel actually melts, it will be structurally weakened by fire, which is why the Twin Towers collapsed: the steel framework had been sufficiently weakened by the burning jet fuel to be unable to support the weight of the upper floors. It’s a simple concept for educated people, little buzzy.

  • carrick

    Here’s one example of a building collapse, a 5-story steel frame construction in Seoul, South Korea on June 29, 1995.

    Here’s an example of structural failure, McCormack Place Fire:

    There are dozens of example of warehoues fires where the building suffered catastrophic failure.

    What again is it that magically makes the WTCs special that the same physics that causes collapses in other structures somehow makes them immune?

    Last I checked high-rise buildings are at greater risk not less than building with fewer floors.

    Gonna buy myself some popcorn and head home. I’ll be chuckling at Lioncourt, Buzz, Rosie and the rest of the liberal crowd while watching this.

    This is nothing more than an example of, if you make the event selective enough, you won’t find many examples of it. Steel buildings collapse. They collapse due to fire, wind, earthquake, poor construction and every other known cause for building collapse,

    The only thing that was special about WTC-1 and -2 besides their known design and construction flaws were the 400,000 pound planes flying into them at 450 miles per hour carrying 10,000 gallons of high performance jet fuel.

    And that’s about it, other than their size and the numbers of people killed by appeasing terrorists.

  • robert108

    That should be: “…the data input…”

  • carrick

    Buzz:

    e? High-rise buildings are built to a different standard than a warehouse, or some piece of shit in korea. Give me a break.

    Give you a break? LOL.

    Buzz, this is just proof of how worthless this argument is. No matter how many counter examples people can come up with, there’s always a reason why the WTCs are somehow “special”.

    McCormack Place was designed to withstand fire and was not a warehouse btw.

    But really, what distinguishes truthers from birthers is it is theoretically possible that Obama wasn’t born in the US (I think under the circumstances highly unlikely), but the idea that 9/11 was a massive government conspiracy is totally preposterous.

  • sayanything-4625

    Its not like I can heat a steel bar and bend it with my arms or anything like that! Steel remains strong and rigid until it sublimates away! You all know that!

  • Buzz

    The statement was made that fire does not melt steel, I agreed and added that an arc furnace is needed to melt steel. I made no statement abut the amount of heat that was needed to effect the static load rigidity of metal.

    But I am always happy to school you matters that a house bound geek could not possiably know.

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    Speaking of the irrelevant: Wankertized, what does Clinton firing million dollar cruise missiles at camel’s tents and bombing aspirin factories have to do with 9/11 conspiracy theories?

    Everyone knows that the first WTC bombing came on Clinton’s watch. Are you trying to imply that he was somehow involved in a conspiracy surrounding the second? Are you inm that “camp”?

    Sounds like someone is getting your goat, Wankertized!

    BINGO. just think of blacksmiths working to hone a weapon. they dont melt the metal, they heat it to make it ‘workable’.

  • carrick

    Buzz:

    They knew the hijackers were in the country, they knew they were taking flying lessons, how much more did they know?

    Ask Jamie Gorelick.

    Seriously, she’s responsible for the wall between the CIA and the FBI that was responsible for limiting who know what when.

    And I did not say one word about any explosives, I only asked if 29 had any proof of hi-rises falling to the ground after they burned, which there is none. Let alone the other two buildings that fell like accordions that day, 5 and 7.

    How often do hi-rises fall period?

    It’s not like there’s enough data you can argue from a generalization of data.

    What you are doing is arguing from anecdote, which is not a form of proof at all.

    There isn’t anything that special about sky rises, as I mentioned other steel structures fall down all of the time. There’s just a lot more of them, so rare events happen more frequently when the number of buildings is larger.

    This sky rise meme just more mythological lore you lefty magical thinkers employ to try and keep your urban myths alive.

    Reality is, the buildings came down cause 400,000 lb planes slammed into them at 450 mph carrying 10,000 gallons of jet fuel, and together this compromised the structure enough to cause eventual collapse. The FBI screwed up, the CIA screwed up, the security people at Logan were lax, the president failed us, yadayadayada, it happened pretty much as they say it happened.

    period. end of story.

    I think it’s funny that you can deride people for believing that Obama isn’t a born US citizen, even though that conceivably could happen, yet keep an “open mind” about this.

    Um, Buzz, please tell me this is sarcasm….are you seriously unaware that while steel is made every day by a process called fire (say in a “Basic Oxygen Furnace” or “Open Hearth Furnace”), climatologists have yet to produce models that have actual predictive ability?

    Or would you be telling us that because Newtonian mechanics was well established in 1900, we are also bound to believe theories of luminiferous aether, phlogiston, and caloric? That the atom is truly indivisible, and……?

    Please. If people can’t clue in to the fact that people melt steel with fire every day in places like Gary and Pittsburgh, a National Geographic special isn’t going to help them–they’ll be with Dino and his friends watching the latest from Daily Kot and Huffington Post or something instead.

  • robert108

    No, it’s not. Steel was being smelted before arc furnaces were invented, even before electricity was commercially available. Schooled again, little buzzy!

    So now they were smelting metal from ore in the WTC? You are moving the goal post. Lets get back to tempered hardened iron beams, shall we.

    You melt steel in arc furnaces, you keep that metal hot by injecting pure oxygen into it. Then you pour it into molds that extrude it.

  • robert108

    Ignorant little buzzy: Again, steel was being worked long before electricity was available. Remember the bellows furnace? You are so ignorant!

    The actual melting of steel (2700 to 2900 degrees) is irrelevant. All that was needed was enough heat for the steel beams to lose enough of their tensile strength for the building to start “pancaking.” I believe somewhere between 11100 and 1500 degrees would do.

  • mplsbob

    Exactly Whistler. Material science 101.

  • docdave

    The beams and supports didn’t have to melt, just had to be structurally compromised. After the top floor collapsed, kinetic energy took over.

    I’ve been waiting for someone to say that, what really happened. The weight on the compromised steel supports was more than the top floor, it was all the floors above the compromised steel floor(s) which must have been thousands of tons. Buildings such as the WTC are designed so that interlocking beams can distribute the weight proportionally. Any weaken area disturbs that and once one portion fails, the failure cascades to other support members.

  • http://www.bikebubba.blogspot.com/ Bike Bubba

    Buzz is doing us a great service by showing us exactly how willful ignorance can be. He apparently makes his living fixing arc furnaces, and despite walking right by other kinds of steelmaking furnaces every day (the basic oxygen furnace and open hearth furnace come to mind) and living in steel country, he claims to be unaware that steel can be melted without electricity.

    As they say in Germany, “Dumm bleibt dumm, da helfen keine Pillen.” (dumb is dumb, no pill will help)

  • http://insanereindeer.blogspot.com/ Kenny

    It’s also worth noting that the WTC design was supposed to have inner cores to withstand attacks. But the builders laughed off the idea that something like this would happen, and just used concrete on the core. So the towers weren’t as sound as they were supposed to be anyway.

  • 2Hotel9

  • docdave

    Good point, Kenny, I forgot about the concrete inner cores which would have fail even faster than the steel. The absence of asbestos covering, a great heat barrier, of the structures was also a contributing factor.

Then take another one and put the burners on high for the same amount of time. Compare and hopefully they realize that the more fuel the hotter the fire, if not they are just stupid.

    The debris that was hauled out of the site would indicate that the steel collapsed onto itself because it was weakened. Considering the massive weight of that structure it’s not hard to imagine that even steel I beams would be snapped like twigs as the buildings chain reaction crushed itself.

    If any steel had melted they would of recovered molted steel that had cooled into new shapes unlike twisted and broken I beams.

    This was a tragic event and we must never forget that Islamo fascism brought this horror to our soil.

  • JFH

    Let’s see if I understand this, Buzz:

    Computer modeling that constantly requires updating to reproduce past history and are admitted to not be able to simulate the complex system they are modeling= GOOD COMPUTER MODEL

    Computer modeling using finite element analysis that can be, AND IS, verified by actual experiments= QUESTIONABLE COMPUTER MODEL

    Seriously, BOTH types of models use a finite element analysis… The difference is the size of the environment and consistency of that physical environment in terms of repeatability. Material properties of solids can be predicted FAR better than compressible gasses in a dynamic sense. I could go into more detail, but bottom line:

    When computer models were invented for testing material structures, the science was already settled, we merely programmed those knowns into software (in fact early models didn’t have the computing power to create “finite elements” small enough to be trusted within a safe range of probability). With climate models, they are merely modeling an UNPROVEN theory that cannot be tested against an impossibly large environment like the earth’s atmosphere. There is no way to test the hypothesis with any reasonable experiment, like we can with a metal truss.

    Buzz, name another high rise building that had 13,000 gallons of kerosene put into a few floors of its structure to burn, and also had a 50 ton + airplane shattering portions of its external frame, and had little internal frame between the external frame and the elevators to buttress it….

    Can you imagine that maybe, just maybe, there is a REASON that you don’t see this kind of thing very often? Maybe ordinary, sane people don’t fly jets into buildings? Maybe building designers put enough fire suppression in tall buildings that ordinary fires don’t get out of hand enough to cause this kind of problem? Maybe because most big buildings aren’t built with the kind of framing that the WTC used?

    Link to one other high rise that fell down while burning, just one.

    Hmmm, before the Columbia disaster someone could have said,”Link to ONE, just one, space shuttle mission (out of 112) where the insulation on the external tank could damage the heat shield tiles of the craft!” Nobody thought to either model OR test that scenario… How could a material with not much more density than Styrofoam punch a hole in the wing of a space shuttle.

    Models are great things, but they can’t replace human directed thought such as FEMA or direct experimentation… I’m sure the models used with NG special are ones that are backed by proven theory and verified experimentation.

    Having seen several different metal frame buildings burn and collapse over the years, no, I don’t see any reason to doubt what the model shows.

    While your looking for your evidence there kitty, you may also want to explain why, after no other building falling down while burning, not only did the twin towers fall. But also building 5 AND building 7, they both came tumbling down after a few hours of “burning”.

    But this does not seem odd to any of you? That the only buildings to fall during burning are in the same complex, all multistory, and all fell to the ground, or at least partially to the ground as in #5.

    I get it . The Bush administration got a couple of 757`s each from American and United. (buy them, steal them?) Then they flew them into the buildings, killing everybody on the planes. Then they somehow planted explosives inside to bring the buildings down. Then “they” somehow had one of the planes crash into the Penn. country side, to what, make it look real? And another into the Pentagon. All this would have taken literally thousands of people behind the scenes to pull off (and keep quiet). Yet in all those years the same geniuses couldn`t find a way to put WMD`s in Iraq. Which wouldn`t have killed any innocents. I see. Now i see the light.

    That was me fool. And you are the one who demanded another example. There is none. WTC is unique in the history of man, due to it’s shoddy construction work (the contractors refusing to build a steel core like was in the plans), it’s overall design, and the fact that a plan flew in it and exploded.

    When planes collide into and burn other high rises for hours, and they don’t collapse, then we’ll take you seriously. Maybe.

    I have not said that one is more reliable than the other. I am only asking why you discount one completely, while assuming that the other is infallible.

    The reliability of the models can be tested. If the model shows that the 9/11 buildings started collapsing at the bottom, and then go up, we know that’s wrong. It’s called evidence.

    On the other hand, the weather models are consistantly unable to predict the past. Yet we should take them seriously why?

    Citizen: Clinton did not go after AQ when they bombed the WTC in 1993, he only went after the bombers at the site, which was the equivalent of arresting the pilots who bombed Pearl Harbor, and ignoring the Japanese fleet offshore. Pure idiocy.
    Clinton’s failure to address AQ allowed them to gain power and strength, thereby enabling them to plan and execute the attacks on 9/11. His separation of the intel agencies allowed the 9/11 hijackers to enter the country and train for their mission undetected. 9/11 is all Clinton. He enabled it.

    Two more outright Soros lies from you. If Clinton killed any AQ, it was by accident. He refused to take OBL on two occasions, and refused to launch a missile strike on him because he feared collateral damage. Clinton enabled 9/11 in many ways; it’s on him completely, including obstruction of intel that might have permitted President Bush to know about the hijackers Clinton had let in and then forgot.

    Clinton ignored, or refused to act on, specific intel. The memo President Bush got was vague and non-specific, and the intel blackout prevented it from being more informative.
    Again, Clinton’s to blame, completely.

    If Clinton intentionally killed any AQ members, it was after the ’93 attack, so your distinction is bullshit. What Clinton didn’t do was to take out AQ after it attacked us, and was still small and weak. Again, his weakness enabled them to grow strong enough to attack us again, after Clinton had made it possible for the hijackers to enter the country and train for the mission. If, as you claim, Clinton intentionally killed any AQ, he certainly didn’t kill enough of them to stop them from launching the attack on 9/11, as they had been planning it since the ’93 attack. Spin all you want, little H; Clinton was responsible; he could have nipped AQ in the bud, and didn’t.

    But until the devastating attacks on New York and Washington, the American-led efforts to hunt bin Laden lacked the sense of urgency that prevails today. American intelligence and law enforcement officials grew complacent about the threat of a domestic attack by al-Qaida, failed by their own admission to share information adequately or coordinate their efforts, and were caught by surprise on Sept. 11.

    This idea that Clinton was a visionary who attacked before being attacked is a fantasy. He responded like a Johnny Come Lately to al Quida and was horribly ineffectual.

    His only claim to being better than Bush is that he killed 20-30 AQ before Bush did…which considering he was president before Bush is like comparing Babe Ruth’s better record to the lackluster players before him.

    They used to show us a lot of DoD films, close air support, weapons effects, that sort of thing. One such high-speed film was of an F-4 being rammed into a reinforced concrete wall. By my recollection, the purpose was to test the strength of the structure around a nuclear reactor vessel and see if it could withstand an aircraft being rammed into it.

    The grainy slo-mo, complete with split second counters, tick marks painted on the aircraft like a ruler, and what looked like CG symbols, showed the F-4 slamming into the concrete wall.

    The wall didn’t budge.

    The F-4 was telescoping like aluminum foil. They didn’t show us the aftermath of the aircraft, but the concrete wall was merely blackened.

    It would be plausible that whatever was left of the F-4 was reduced to bits by the impact and consumed in the resulting fire. Can’t say for sure, but it seemed like there wouldn’t be much left.

    Sad end to a noble F-4…

    Clinton Administration
    Capturing Osama bin Laden has been an objective of the United States government since the presidency of Bill Clinton.[98] Shortly after the September 11 attacks it was revealed that President Clinton had signed a directive authorizing the CIA to apprehend bin Laden and bring him to the United States to stand trial after the 1998 United States embassy bombings in Africa; if taking bin Laden alive was deemed impossible, then deadly force was authorized.[99] On August 20, 1998, 66 cruise missiles launched by United States Navy ships in the Arabian Sea struck bin Laden’s training camps near Khost in Afghanistan, narrowly missing him by a few hours.[100] In 1999 the CIA, together with Pakistani military intelligence, had prepared a team of approximately 60 Pakistani commandos to infiltrate Afghanistan to capture or kill bin Laden, but the plan was aborted by the 1999 Pakistani coup d’état; [100] in 2000, foreign operatives working on behalf of the CIA had fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a convoy of vehicles in which bin Laden was traveling through the mountains of Afghanistan, hitting one of the vehicles but not the one bin Laden was in.[99]

    In 2000, prior to the September 11 attacks, Paul Bremer characterized the Clinton administration as “correctly focused on bin Laden”, while Robert Oakley actually criticized their “obsession with Osama”.

It is part of a series of various test procedures to prove the safety claims of the nuclear power industry. The footage you saw was to test the integrity of the structure of the dome of a nuclear power plant. By design, these structures are meant to wistand a direct hit from a 747. That F-4 vaporized into dust. The largest piece to come out of the debris was a three foot chunck of the booster that most likely broke away at impact.

    These domes are 6 foot thick, continual pour concrete with rebar, criscrossed, every 6 inches. Pretty tough stuff.

    Glowing praise.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/react082198.htm

    President Clinton won warm support for ordering anti-terrorist bombing attacks in Afghanistan and Sudan yesterday from many of the same lawmakers who have criticized him harshly as a leader critically weakened by poor judgment and reckless behavior in the Monica S. Lewinsky scandal.

    A few senators, however, noted that the timing of the attack raised the question of whether Clinton had ordered it to deflect attention from his personal affairs. Others suggested the scandal may be preventing the president from paying attention to critical international problems.

    But most lawmakers from both parties were quick to rally behind Clinton in a deluge of public statements and appearances yesterday, a marked contrast to the relatively sparse and chilly reception that greeted his Monday statement on the Lewinsky matter.

    “I think the president did exactly the right thing,” House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said of the bombing attacks. “By doing this we’re sending the signal there are no sanctuaries for terrorists.”

    Gingrich said he was told “very precise details” of the attack before it occurred, and praised Clinton’s aides for being “sensitive to making sure we were not blindsided in this.” Other congressional leaders, several of whom were on vacation or difficult to locate, said the White House had made an effort to notify them before the attacks.

    Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) called the attacks “appropriate and just,” and House Majority Leader Richard K. Armey (R-Tex.) said “the American people stand united in the face of terrorism.”

    Yes, even Lott, who called the timing suspect, said that the attacks were appropriate and just. The very Republican leading the impeachment praised Clinton’s Iraq bombing, if not the timing. Republicans rallied around the President.

    Again, here is the double standard. Clinton did right in attacking Iraq (and he did), but Bush did wrong in attacking Iraq (he also did right). Clinton’s lackluster approach to getting bin Ladin is oh so cool (it was pretty well justified by the minor scale of his attacks at the time), yet Bush’s continuance of those policies was unacceptable “Do Nothingism” (though it was the same exact policies). Democrats lying about the President is oh so sheek (they’re scumbags), yet we pretend Republicans did the same thing (when they did the opposite).

    And, again, pointing out that Clinton tried to get Bin Laden before Bush did is moronic. Clinton was president before Bush. Was Bush supposed to rush in in 1998 and scream “None of ya’ll know who I am, but I’m taking charge!” Hypocritic imbecile.

    We went after AQ, the Republicans complained that it was a distraction from Lewinkski. That is what CONs cared about…..Clinton’s penis, just like they care about my penis and what it was doing all the time (lookin at you Move).

    This too is a lie. This is in reference to Clinton firing rockets into IRAQ (which of course, had nothing to do with al Quida – Kenny

    Quida? You care so little you can’t even spell the name correctly.

    Worse, you give an article that supports my statement, you call a lie?????? What’s that about?

    A few senators, however, noted that the timing of the attack raised the question of whether Clinton had ordered it to deflect attention from his personal affairs.

    It sure was a more than a few, (and now note how Cons turn to what they once labeled media bias, praising Clinton when he should have been condemned) that complained about Clinton going after terrorists, to distract from the investigation on his penis.

    What else can you lie about Kenny?

  • Hannitized

    Hannitized is reduced to convincing himself that the party the democrats refer to as “warmongers” didn’t want to kill terrorists.

    They didn’t…..they wanted to start a fight with Iraq….who did nothing to us….AND LET THE TERRORISTS GO!!

    Now we have a mess in Afghanistan because Bush didn’t want to kill terrorists, he had his mind set on killing innocent Iraqi’s.

    That’s why they call him and his cronies war mongers.

  • http://insanereindeer.blogspot.com/ Kenny

    Clinton’s “attempts” to get bin Laden sound little more than the husband who “attempts” to fix the car and ends up watching the ball game drinking a beer.

    A missle strike into an almost empty camp hours after bin Laden left. Refusing him on two occasions. A single RPG fired into the wrong car. None of these are serious attempts. They’re bungling at best.

    One can forgive this by noting, at the time, that bin Laden wasn’t a serious threat. But to rewrite history after the fact to pretend that OBL was running in fear while Clinton was on his back constantly, then allowed to rest and plan when Bush didn’t want to chase anymore is ludicrous on it’s face.

  • http://insanereindeer.blogspot.com/ Kenny

    Kenny lies through both sides of his mouth now.
    First he said:

    Kenny followed this up with:

    His only claim to being better than Bush is that he killed 20-30 AQ before Bush did…which considering he was president before Bush is like comparing Babe Ruth’s better record to the lackluster players before him.

    Which was put up before you ever responded. So my following comment that you mock:

    It’s false that Clinton aggressively went after AQ while Bush supposedly did nothing. After being attacked repeatedly, Clinton followed the same plan with little deviation. Bush continued these plans.

    Is exactly what I originally said. Oops. Strike 1.

    As I said, until we suffered the worst terrorists attack our soil, in US history…..BUSH DID NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!

    Except follow Clinton’s game plan. Oops. Strike 2.

    It sure was a more than a few, (and now note how Cons turn to what they once labeled media bias, praising Clinton when he should have been condemned) that complained about Clinton going after terrorists, to distract from the investigation on his penis.
    What else can you lie about Kenny?

    Even the one’s who questioned his timing (Trent Lott) PRAISED him. Gingrich sent out a letter telling radio stations to stop criticizing Clinton’s timing because it was time for solidarity in the face of foreign enemies.

    Again, Republicans rallied around teh President. Even ones that questioned his timing supported the action. This idea that Republicans stood against him is false. Oops. Strike 3.

    Oh, and for a bonus:

    Quida? You care so little you can’t even spell the name correctly.

    I’m being lectured about spelling by you Gidget? You of the rampant misspellings. Lol. Comedy gold.

    Oh, Wow! H you’re really off the deep end here. Dude, go have a beer and watch something relaxing.

  • robert108

    Little H’s twisting, spinning and outright lying are consistent, at least. He does the same thing on every subject.

  • Hannitized
    As I said, until we suffered the worst terrorists attack our soil, in US history…..BUSH DID NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!

    Except follow Clinton’s game plan. Oops. Strike 2. – Kenny

    Except for Bush refused Clintons’ actual Plan, which called for an invasion of Afghanistan…BEFORE 9/11.

    Get your history straight, liar.

    It’s false that Clinton aggressively went after AQ while Bush supposedly did nothing. After being attacked repeatedly, Clinton followed the same plan with little deviation. Bush continued these plans.

    Is exactly what I originally said. Oops. Strike 1.

    Now Kenny is in denial mode, diminishing the numerous efforts, the post presidential game plan to go after the Taliban and AQ in Afghanistan in order to dismiss BUSH’S REFUSAL to do anything.

    Not only did Bush do nothing, BUT HE REFUSED TO DO ACCEPT CLINTON’S GAME PLAN.

    Kenny is full of lies today folks.

    But, is that really a surprise? When you spin for a living, it just comes natural.

  • robert108

    Little H continues to deny the basic fact here: Clinton could have wiped out AQ after the ’93 WTC bombing, but he didn’t.
    Everything else flows from that bit of cowardice on his part, including 9/11. All little H can do is blame President Bush for not immediately cleaning up the mess Clinton had created.
    Clinton let in the hijackers and allowed them to train undetected. Due to Clinton’s errors, President Bush was denied the necessary intel to stop what Clinton had enabled. As soon as what Clinton had covered up occurred, President Bush promptly started killing AQ, and continued to do it for eight years, something Clinton failed to do when there were a lot fewer of them.

  • http://insanereindeer.blogspot.com/ Kenny

    Except for Bush refused Clintons’ actual Plan, which called for an invasion of Afghanistan…BEFORE 9/11.

    Get your history straight, liar.

    Uh, link that. That’s a pretty broad claim with nothing to back it up.

    Indeed, Clinton insiders mocked this claim when he made it…in 2006.

    http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/2006/09/26/2006-09-26_bill_s_bull___ex-advisers__c.html

    Even Clinton admits that he refused to go thru with it. And insiders say it was never as far along as he claims.

    You’re just digging yourself deeper.

    Kenny is full of lies today folks.

    But, is that really a surprise? When you spin for a living, it just comes natural.

    I spin for a living? What the hell? WHERE IS MY PAYCHECK DAMN IT! WHY DID NO ONE INFORM ME I’M GETTING PAID FOR THIS!

    Of course, I haven’t lied. Far from claiming that Clinton never killed terrorists, I acknowledged it, and derided it. Far from claiming that no Republicans questioned Clinton’s Iraq attack, I acknowledged it and pointed out that even Trent Lott (the biggest name to criticize the timing) praised the attack itself. Far from claiming Clinton did nothing, I pointed out that he did what was warranted by the attacks bin Laden had already committed, which was very little, and provided evidence that Bush simply continued this lackluster approach. Etc.

    My consistency and truthfulness are unquestionable here. The facts are behind me. And I’m being criticized by a prom queen fourth runner up who’s biggest beef with me is that I used the spelling Al Quida, which given Hanni’s piss poor spelling, is like a retard correcting a valedictorian on…well, anything.

    But when you spend your time going out of your way to misquote people and take their arguments out of context, well….

    No one actually expects honesty out of you H.

    Just back in, glad there are no spoilers in this comment thread, I can watch off DVR, for the full effect. Didn’t see any picketers at Whole Foods. BooHoo.

  • robert108

    Had Clinton done anything to take out AQ, and had he succeeded, 9/11 would not have happened, and going into Afghanistan and Iraq would not have been necessary to fight AQ.
    Saddam needed to be deposed, however, and Clinton was in denial of his murderous reign.

  • 2Hotel9

    Notice the deafening silence from sanni, the whiny lying cunt. Wonder why that is?

  • Bat One

    On virtually any subject of consequence, Poi-boy’s prattle is irrelevant, and history is certainly no exception.

    If Clinton’s “plans” were worthwhile, the US would not have suffered so many Islamist terror attacks during his presidency. In fact, bin-Laden himself stated in that interview with ABC’s John Miller, that Al Qaeda was emboldened to further attacks against the US by the American defeat and retreat in Somalia. The Clinton-Murtha “Cut and Run” strategy in Somalia (Blackhawk Down) led to the two US embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya, the Khobar Towers bombing, the USS Cole bombing, and, of course, 9-11.

    Nothing can melt steel. NOTHING!

    And yet, molten steel is poured into molds.

  • sayanything-2483

    “Most steel has other metals added to tune its properties, like strength, corrosion resistance, or ease of fabrication. Steel is just the element iron that has been processed to control the amount of carbon. Iron, out of the ground, melts at around 1510 degrees C (2750°F). Steel often melts at around 1370 degrees C (2500°F).”
    http://education.jlab.org/qa/meltingpoint_01.html

  • sayanything-2483

    “In Europe since 1600-s, the first step in producing steel has been the smelting iron ore into pig iron in a blast furnace from ore, charcoal, and air.[30] Modern methods use coke instead of charcoal, which has proven to be a great deal cheaper.”
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel

  • sayanything-2483

    It just wasn’t the jet fuel burning, but also the paper, the wooden furniture, the carpet, all the plastic from office equipment and walls. All of which probably burn much hotter than the jet fuel. The beams and supports didn’t have to melt, just had to be structurally compromised. After the top floor collapsed, kinetic energy took over.

  • sayanything-2483

    It was the FLOOR SUPPORTS that gave way when weakened by the heat.
    ]

  • sayanything-2483

    Nothing has to “melt” for the floor to give way. The truss just has to weaken from the heat and sag for it to pull out of the supports on the support beams.

  • http://suitepotato.blogspot.com/ sayanything-4808

    I would like to say that I can’t believe that Buzz is that stupid, but I can believe it. He’s a retard, well established.

    Buzz, before you make comments like that, you might want to ask how it was that people were melting steel before the invention of electricity to make arms and armor and various industrial items.

    It was with fire. Charcoal, coal, coke. I’ve melted steel myself with charcoal and an air blast.

    Do you know what the average windspeed is at the height of the World Trade Centers? It’s sufficient air blast in conjunction with jet fuel and flammable materials to melt steel, and burn it away to iron oxide.

    Not that it was needed as you’ve been repeatedly told Buzz.

    Steel heated to well less than melting point, well below the temperatures reached in the fire, will turn it to putty under the load of thousands of tons of concrete and steel above it pushing down.

    If you keep arguing on this, you’re only proving that you’re too dumb to hold an electrician’s license, much less be safe to allow to work in that field.

    Ask a coworker which one the hot wire is, put in your mouth, grab ground, bye bye.

  • sayanything-2483

    Link to one other high rise that fell down while burning, just one.
    Buzz on August 31, 2009 at 01:44 pm

    The second WTC tower.

  • sayanything-2483

    Not to mention that the hijackers had been living and training here for years, long before Bush was elected.
    And one other thing is missing. Like all good conspiracies, where are the dead witness’s? Just about all the witness’s in the JFK shooting were killed. Just about all the people who knew anything about White Water, or anyone who could possibly expose Clinton were killed.

  • sayanything-2483

    You do not have to do something to be involved in it. If bush knew it was going to happen, and did nothing, it would take no personnel to pull it off. Just let it happen.

    If this is what you believe, then you must also apply the same theory to the first bombing of the WTC. Clinton knew and did nothing to stop it.

  • http://suitepotato.blogspot.com/ sayanything-4808

    Buzz refuses to believe materials and structural engineering professionals, metallurgists, sand crabs (metal casters), welders, and the like and instead just “feels” that it didn’t work the way all the professionals point out that physics DEMANDS it work and the way it works EVERY DAY ANYWHERE ELSE on Earth.

    Yet he is allegedly a licensed electrician and union member in good standing. Does he refuse to believe what electrical engineers who have a hand in promulgating the NFPA/NEC regulations?

    His selective choice of logical reasoning is as usual entirely based on his intellectual defect of being a moron who gets his jollies from annoying other people.

    Buzz, I guarantee you if you built a fire around the support post of a car garage jack with a car up above on the lift, and got it as hot as that fire at the WTC, the steel jack assembly would weaken and collapse under the weight of the car. First its compressive strength would lower. Then its surface would oxidize into iron oxide, rust. Microcracks present in most any metal would widen due to thermal stress and their ends become oxidized. It would start to bend and once it did, the movement of the load would have inertia and once it gets moving, it tends to keep moving.

    Crash.

    Do you really doubt this?

    Ask any damn firefighter what can happen to a steel structure under load when the structural elements are heated to hot too long.

    Of course you won’t, because you’re well established to be a moron.

  • sayanything-2483

    R108: I agree, through Clinton’s negligence and weakness Al Qaeda was able to continue, uninterrupted with their planning. If those who believe that 9/11 was an inside job, then Clinton must be included as one of the conspirators.

  • sayanything-2483

    There was no plane wreckage at the pentagon. No luggage, no engines, no nothing, just a hole.

    From what was shown on the NG special tonight, the plane was traveling at almost 600 mph at time of impact. It was at ground level and aside from the hole, there was approximately 90 feet of building taken out across the base of the building, almost the length of the wing span. The footage also showed debris from the plane. At 600 mph, everything would be in very small pieces and what could burn up, would.
    Buzz, you can believe it was inside job, but then you’d have to accept the fact that Clinton was part of the first attack.

  • sayanything-2483

    Or maybe there is another reason for bush to confiscate every last video showing the pentagon that day.

    Obviously he didn’t confiscate the footage that was used on the NG special tonight that aired nation wide.
    I think you need some sleep Buzz.
    Good night all.

  • sayanything-2483

    You mean a 75 foot hole and a 12 foot hole

    No Buzz, I said 90 feet across the base of the building. Watch the NG show again when it airs.

  • sayanything-2483

    And did it show the plane? Hmmm?

    And did it show a missle? Hmmmmm?
    If it was a missle, where did the plane wreckage come from?

  • sayanything-2483

    …the only president who went after Bin Laden before 9/11……

    Was that before the 1993 WTC bombing, or after?

    On Tape, Clinton Admits Passing Up bin Laden Capture;

    “Bill Clinton denies it now, but he once admitted he passed up an opportunity to extradite Osama bin Laden.”

    http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/9/10/181819.shtml

    Everyone seems to lose sight of the fact that 9/11 was eight years in the planning. Long before Bush was President, long before he even thought about running.

  • sayanything-2483

    We went after AQ

    Was that before or after the 1993 WTC bombing. You know, the one on Clinton’s watch.
    http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/9/10/181819.shtml
    Listen to Clinton’s own words as he describes how he let Bin Laden go.

  • sayanything-2483

    just like they care about my penis

    I was wondering when the narcissist would make this thread about him and his little friend.

  • sayanything-2483

    We went after AQ before 9/11

    Considering that Clinton had the opportunity to actually have Bin Laden handed over to us, and declined, your statement is false.
    The question remains, did Clinton go after Bin Laden before the first WTC attack in 1993? The answer is no.

  • sayanything-2483
  • sayanything-2483

    No spin needed, Clinton let Bin Laden go.Had he not let Bin Laden go, maybe 9/11 wouldn’t have happened.
    And don’t forget, 1993, the first WTC attack was on Clinton’s watch.

  • sayanything-2483

    Nobody believes your spin Citizen.

    The narcissist now claims to speak for EVERYONE. LOL!!

  • sayanything-2483

    Clinton bombed the crap out of them while Cons wanted to talk about his penis.

    Was that before or after the 1993 WTC attack?

  • sayanything-2483

    On another note: the embassy bombings and the attack on the USS Cole. Where was Clinton before and after? Getting his knob polished???

  • sayanything-2483

    Clinton let Bin Laden go. And in reality, it was Clinton who was obsessed with the needs and wants of his own dick.

  • sayanything-2483

    Instead, they chose to do nothing.

    And yet, there hasn’t been another attack. Go figure.

  • sayanything-2483

    Clinton’s penis, just like they care about my penis

    Seems you’re the one with cock on your mind.
    I’d like to stay and play, but I’m off to Sedona for the day. Play nice with the adults while you listen to the tape of Clinton telling us how he let Bin Laden go.

  • sayanything-2483

    The surfing princess CAN’T say anything because the left will always ignore the truth.
    Clinton let Bin Laden go. Had he taken him 9/11 might not have happened.
    IN CLINTON’S OWN WORDS!!
