1. They took lessons at American flight schools throughout the late 90's up to the summer of 2001.
2. Aghanistan doesn't have any oil to speak of at all and yet that is the country we invaded as a result of 9/11. Besides, the oil production capacity of the Middle East may be an interesting factoid but it isn't proof of anything.
3. They were collected up and stored as evidence. You can find lots of images of them with a simple Google search using a term like "flight 77 wreckage".
4. Not even remotely true. There were 146 witnesses on record who saw an aircraft hit the Pentagon including 15 who identified it as an American Airlines commercial jet and 2 pilots in a C-130 who watched it go in. The statements of some of these witnesses are frequently heavily edited on Youtube or in propaganda films like Loose Change to make it appear they saw something else but that is just lying. Go back to the original, unedited statements. The really interesting thing is there are ZERO WITNESSES who went on record to say they saw anything else hit the Pentagon. Just a plane.
5. None of the WTC towers fell "perfectly straight" but why would you expect them to topple over liek a tree? Buildings don't do that. Nobody in the fields of physics or structural engineering (ie: people who are experts in this stuff) has that expectation and they know what they are talking about. Gravity always works in a downward fashion.
6. See my earlier comment about propaganda movies. However entertaining, W is a piece of fictional entertainment produced as a commercial enterprise. It is not a documentary.
I hope you have many more because you aren't doing to well so far. None of these points, even if they were true serve as evidence that "Geedubya did it".
The 9/11 conspiracy was by the terrorists. There was no government conspiracy. Think about this: if the tape that Bin Laden put out is genuine, and there is no reason to believe it is not, he was bragging about the attacks and how much more successful it was than his group had dreamed.
If it had been a government conspiracy, hundreds, if not thousands, of people would have to be involved. You get 1000 people involved in a plot to kill thousands of Americans, don't you think somebody would have blown the whistle to the media to prevent such an occurence? Or do you think that everybody that would have to have been involved was of such low morals that the loss of human life meant nothing to them? And why have none of the participants had an attack of conscience since and come out to bring the facts to life?
Conspiracy theorists have been around ever since. Speculations and allegations abound, but no concrete evidence has ever been found. And why? Because there is no evidence to find. No reputable expert even believes the theory. Because it doesn't make sense. Democrats, Republicans, and independents know the theory for what it is-hogwash, pure and simple hogwash.
Edit: Ladies and gentlemen, our asker is a fraud. Not only was the account started two days ago, Gianfranco professes according to questions answered to be an ex-Italian marine. Hardly the background for someone in school. Which do you think will happen? Gianfranco will have a reasonable explanation? Or the question will be deleted?
There is just too much evidence now that suggests an inside job: the fact that ALL THE WRECKAGE WAS SHIPPED ABROAD as soon as possible, the fact that even ROLLS ROYCE themselves have said that the engine recovered at the Pentagon WAS NOT the type of engine used on the type of plane (b757) that was said to be responsible. The fact that some of the 'hijackers' are still alive: http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLE... the fact that no jets were scrambled in time; that no significant plane debris was found at the pentagon site (planes do not vaporize!); that the buildings seem to be demolished, especially building 7; that jet fuel cannot melt steel, even though molten steel was seen "flowing like lava"; that the first responders heard explosions in the basement and within the buildings before they collapsed etc...
-WTC leaseholder Larry Silverstein admitted that building 7 was pulled down by a controlled demolition:
Right about, not "wright" about.
Anyway,... Which "conspiracy about 9/11" do you profess to believe? There are at least 60 distinctly different ones and most of those have multiple offshoots. And why do you believe whatever conspiracy theory it is you claim to believe?
In any investigation a hypothesis is formed by compiling all of the data and using that to inform the hypothesis. The hypothesis that does that with the least amount of unsupported assumptions is presumed to be the correct one unless some new data comes along that forces a change to the hypothesis. For the last 11 years the title-holder for the hypothesis best supported by the sum-total of available evidence with by far and away the fewest un-supported assumptions is the one that holds 19 terrorists hijacked 4 airliners and crashed them into 3 buildings and a field in Pennsylvania for political purpose. Every other hypothesis presented to date falls apart due to massive reliance on unsupported assumptions and/or the distortion or disregard of massive amounts of available evidence - usually to back up some politically motived "theory".
Take your case. You believe George Bush planned a terrorist attack which would be blamed on a group of men who were mostly Saudi's as an excuse to invade Afghanistan, a country he clearly had no interest in whatsoever? Does that make a lot of sense? And where is the evidence to make a prima-facia case of this? Where are the connections? Who planned and executed this? Where did the funding come from? These are all unsupported assumptions that don't exist with the terrorist hypothesis and if you want that F to turn into something else you will need to resolve them.
I understand where the desire to blame all this on Bush comes from. He was a very polarizing guy and it is perfectly valid and reasonable to dislike Bush for any one or more of a thousand valid and rational reasons. But to go the extra step and hang all this "inside job" nonsense on him transcends reasonable political discourse into the realm of insanity. It becomes a perfect reason for people to not take you seriously then.
no, the conspiracy theories about the US planning the attacks as an excuse to go into the Middle East to get all the oil are 100% false... and here's why...
1) approximately 55% of oil imported into the United States comes from the Western hemisphere... (canada, south america, central america... etc.) approx. 12% comes from the entire middle east...
we do this because the oil is cheaper in the west compared to the middle east, the western hem. has more stable governments and cheaper transportation costs.. making the price you would pay at the pump lower...
2) US military intervention in the middle east is counterproductive in obtaining cheap oil.. all it would do is make an already unstable region even more unstable... and when you factor in the cost of military deployment used to obtain the oil, it is not cheap at all.. sure the governments in the middle east aern't very friendly... but at the end of the day they want to make money... and a half decent economist realizes that the best strategy for selling or obtaining cheap anything is commercial negotiations rather than military intervention.
3) oil imports from the middle east since 2001 have been relatively constant with no drastic changes...
4) before 9/11 the Taliban did not have any objections to American involvement in their country when it came to transportation of oil and gas, they were actually in favor of it.. but the US chose not to intervene due to the instability in the region after the Russian- Afghan war.. if the US changed their mind and wanted to take an active role in afghanistan, they didnt need to invade, they could just tell the talaban they wanted to invest in the region...
and i could go on and on... but basically the point is that invading for oil is counterproductive and makes prices higher... the only reason we aern't paying $10 a gallon (like they do in europe), is because of gasoline tax regulations and a government set price ceiling on gasoline.
also, if we wanted oil, we should have invaded canada, venezuela or saudi arabia... not afghanistan and iraq...
EDIT:
1) there is documents and evidence of all of the terrorists taking flight training courses in Florida and other states, you can find articles on google showing this..
2) Saudi Arabia has a significant oil production, but believe it or not the US and Canada are also in the top 10 in oil production... and its cheaper to buy from canada than it is from the middle east.... thats why over 50% of our oil comes from the west..
3) if you look at photos RIGHT AFTER the attack, you can clearly see plane debris around the building... but construction crews worked 24 hours a day cleaning it up, so in later pictures there is no debris...
4) there is plenty of witnesses... heres a website of eyewitness accounts... http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLE...
5) its all about construction design.. when the plan hit it destroyed major support beams... the weight of the building above the damaged support beams was too much for it to hold and the towers fell... controlled demolitions are ALWAYS placed on the bottom of the building... but you can clearly see that the buildings fell from the top down...
6) never seen it, but just like any film im sure it exaggerates the truth..
Honestly, you do deserve an F if you believe the conspiracy theories.
First, most of them are based on phony science, or rely on "facts" that are just physically impossible - such as the the whole thing about the towers being brought down by controlled demolition charges that miraculously appeared over a single weekend without requiring the entire building to be gutted down to its steel frame.
Second, if such a conspiracy did exist, it would have required the explicit cooperation of 1000s of people at all levels of the federal government, the city government, not to many civilians working in the police and fire departments - many of whom DIED when the towers came down.
It's been over a decade since 9/11, and yet there's been no convincing proof released by the conspircy theorists. All they have are the same fuzzy screen captures from the original 9/11 TV footage, and a bunch of speculation. Where's the hard proof? Where's the "project 9/11" memos on Wikileaks? The US government alone loses 100s of laptops and smartphones each year. You can't expect me to believe that none of these devices from the past decade contained *something* that was linked the government 9/11 project.
What about the people who cooperated - knowingly or unknowingly - with the operation? All of them are OK with the knowledge their actions helped murder over 3000 innocent American civilians? All of them have maintained perfect silence about this? No crisis of conscience. No drunken bragging to their friends at a party. No deathbed confessions. No 'deepthroat' sources. No one calling Larry King to give him 'the interview of the century' or cashing in on a tell-all book?
Osama Bin Laden has been dead for barely 2 years and one of the SEALs already wrote a tell-all book. SEALS are strongly conditioned to keep secrets. They don't even tell their wives what they do, where they do it, or even who they do it to. So you expect that all these people who would have had to have been involved with this supposed US 9/11 operation that would have KILLED many of their coworkers, friends, or even family, have managed to hold their secret better than the SEAL who went on the raid that killed Bin Laden?
So yeah, for your clear lack of critical thinking you deserve an F, not just for this assignment, but for your overall education.
No I don't believe. I have managed to cultivate critical thinking skills. I also have better proof-reading skills.
Your grammatical errors are too many to count. But let me ask you something... people like you always claim G.W. was a babbling idiot. How does a babbling idiot orchestrate such an epic conspiracy??
Honestly I used to believe in that but over time it just seemed like if it did end up like that I'm sure they would have caught on by now.
Your grammar is awful you might wanna skip out on this paper
Bet you'll really get the F.
I was in school and are teacher told us that we have to wright about "Why did Osama Bin Laden plan the attack on America" and then I told her I believe the Conspiracy about 9/11, Then she told me "Well...I guess you get an F then" >:( that made me really mad!
So anyways, do you guys believe the 9/11 Conspiracy or what? and Why
(9/11 Conspiracy is about that George Bush plan the 9/11 attack so he could have an excuse to go into the Middle East to get all the oil)
