WTC-7 and other 9/11 goofy-ness
Can I just say this, because I am so friggin tired of this discussion….
I was watching on 9-11 when the towers were hit, and the buildings fell. I was talking, for a lot of the day, with my dear friend Debi…. and I told her, when that first tower fell, that it wouldn’t be the only one. Not because of any sinister plot, but because of engineering and seismic realities….
When 300 tons of concrete and steel hits the ground- or 3 million… whatever it is…. there is quite a rumble. Just the shock along from such a crash is enough to crumble most brick buildings. And everyone needs to keep in mind…. the lower part of Manhattan is basically built on silt. It’s not the strongest foundation in the world. When those two buildings hit the ground, it was inevitable that other buildings would be in jeopardy…
But the real question is… of COURSE WT-7 was abandoned. Silverman gave the order to get everyone out, to get the occupants and the fire crews out, and because it was so damaged already, to add it to the already mounting damage. Is that a bad thing ? There is nothing nefarious there.
It’s just another example of the hate-America crowd going off their meds. And it happens all the damn time.
Cheney is the most evil person in the world, and accidentally shoots a man in the face. If Cheney was so evil, don’t ya think that man would be dead ?
9-11 was an inside job to launch a war in the middle east for oil…. so.. why do it at 9 AM and evacuate the buildings. Why not do it at 11am, when the buildings are full ? Why not get more experienced pilots who can hit at just the right place and take it down before anyone can get out ?
The whole discussion of things like that just pisses me off. And anyone who listens to what the 9-11 conspiracy craziness is not worth listening to. I only hope most of them don’t have children, because they will just create more nut-jobs.
On September 11, 2001, a lot of crazy SOB’s took over some planes, and killed as many people as they could. Thankfully, they didn’t kill as many as they wanted.
And now out nation, and our civilization is at war with a whacked-out version of Islam. YES. Islam. The Orthodox Greeks aren’t trying to kill us.
To not recognize that very simple reality is to sign a potential death warrant. The Church of England isn’t trying to kill western civilization. Radical Islam is. It is a religious war to a degree, but the only religion involved is on their side. This country is trying as hard as it can to de-religion everything that is important, and that matters.
I am not a zealot. But I am a nationalist, and a conservative. This country, and much of the European west, is trying so damn hard to be nice that it isn’t taking care of what is important.
Could we get a “fear, but fear itself” speech now ? Of course not. There would be nods to the EU and curtsies to the UN. But no real leadership, and no real resolve to get the damn job done.
The US, regardless of what the press and the Democrats say, is not an imperial country. We are a freedom country- sometimes to our peril… Illegal immigration, Darfur, most of Africa, really. We have out-sourced our foreign policy to Bono, for Christ’s sake. Why ? Because we kneel, too often, at the alter of the UN.
Kick that worthless collection of despots and derelicts out of this country, and do it forth-with. The UN hasn’t done anything productive since it created Israel in ‘48, and has spend the better part of 60 years trying to crush that one good thing. We don’t need the UN. And the world would be better if the powers with ability had to actually move, and take care of themselves.
This is not a matter of equality. This is the very survival of a civilization. Radical Islam doesn’t want to kidnap you and put you on TV. They want to kill you. To kill you. Let me say it again…. TO KILL YOU.
Negotiations and summits won’t change that. It’s been that way for 30 years. They don’t want to talk. We’ve been working on strategic ways to reduce the threat. They are working on newer, and more effective ways to KILL YOU.
When in the Holy hell are some of you idiotic people gonna wake up and see that ? I do not have patience for “political power”. I am a conservative first, and a Republican next. If a Democrat candidate came out and saw this issue the way it really is, and not as a political posture, I’d vote for them. This is the only issue that is absolutely critical. It is critical to the very survival of this country, and the world.
Why ? Because tax cuts and abortion policy, spending reductions and federalism, military strength and self-reliance… all of that… ALL of that… means nothing at all if crazy Muslims KILL US ALL. It’s hard to bitch about voter fraud in Cleveland if Cleveland is in a nuclear ruin.
That isn’t alarmist, that is the reality that we all live in. And to deny that because you think John Edwards is cute, or think Obama would be a great president because, “oh wow, it’ll be cool to tell my kids that I voted for the first black president.”
Does nobody else see how absolutely asinine that is ?

I think there is some logic in your stament that seismic tremor could be tranferred through the gtound… but why was fermite explosive found there? And besides this building may have contained secret files which the government will no longer be able to make public.
