Now you are the one making up garbage.
BS! I been in the military, so was my father you are full of it!
BS! I been in the military, so was my father you are full of it!
So, you are implying that you and your father would have taken part in the killing thousands of your own citizens if ordered to do so.
I got your number.
I had to go back and read your post again and I surly do owe you an apology.
There is no excuse for my action towards you and I hope you accept my apology.
Just stop skyeagle409. He already said he is done talking to you about this.
You could, however, learn something from him. Notice how he read my post, did his research, saw he was incorrect and apologized.
Instead of seeing this as how a man should act and carry himself, you try to pile on him over it. I don't agree with him on some things he was saying, but I have so much more respect for someone like that than someone who carries himself the way you have in this thread. Instead of responding to him,...
...why don't you respond to me?
ok skyeagle409, I will bring up an issue that counters the Commission report and your preexisting belief. Earlier in this thread you told me about Hani (Hanjour) flying Flight 77. In my list of "blunders'" that you claim to already be familiar with and have no questions about, there is reference to a November 25 2007 London Times article. The article is about Luai Sakra, an al-Qaeda leader imprisoned in Turkey who allegedly was also a CIA informant before 9/11. The Times says, “According to Sakra, Nawaf Alhazmi was a veteran operative who went on to pilot Flight 77. Although this is at odds with the official account, which says the plane was flown by another hijacker, it is plausible and might answer one of the mysteries of 9/11,” namely, why the FBI claims Hani Hanjour was the pilot of that plane, when many reports suggest Hanjour was a bad pilot.
Although none of the official accounts such as the 9/11 Commission report claim that Alhazmi was a pilot, there is considerable evidence to suggest that he was:
*In December 1999, Alhazmi was taught how to use a computer flight simulator program while in an al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan.
*On April 4, 2000, Alhazmi took one day’s worth of flying lessons, and his instructor later claims he did quite well and was already almost capable of taking off and landing on his own.
*Near the end of 2000, he told two unconnected associates that he was in Arizona and learning to fly with Hanjour.
*On March 19, 2001, he bought flight deck videos for Boeing 747s and a Boeing 777.
*On March 23, 2001, he bought an aeronautical chart covering the northeastern US.
*In July 2001, he and Hanjour appear to have rented an aircraft together in New Jersey. Alhazmi’s credit card was used to pay for the aircraft rental, as well as fuel in Maryland.
*Neighbors will later claim that just days before the 9/11 attacks, Alhazmi was practicing flying on a computer flight simulator program.
*In 2002, al-Qaeda associate Ramzi bin al-Shibh will claim in an interview several months before his arrest that Alhazmi was one of the 9/11 pilots.
What information did you come up with to counter this article to make you know Hanjour was the pilot?

The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission (Thomas Keane and Lee Hamilton) said that the CIA (and likely the White House) “obstructed our investigation”.
The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission also said that the 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials misrepresented the facts to the Commission, and the Commission considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements, yet didn’t bother to tell the American people (free subscription required).
Indeed, the co-chairs of the Commission now admit that the Commission largely operated based upon political considerations.
9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says “I don’t believe for a minute we got everything right”, that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, that the 9/11 debate should continue, and that the 9/11 Commission report was only “the first draft” of history.
9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that “There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn’t have access . . . .”
9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer said “We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting”
Former 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: “It is a national scandal”; “This investigation is now compromised”; and “One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up”.
9/11 Commissioner John Lehman said that “We purposely put together a staff that had - in a way - conflicts of interest“.
The Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) who led the 9/11 staff’s inquiry, said “I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years…. This is not spin. This is not true.”
