 "Ewww!
Is he still going on about 9-11? Who cares?
Kim Kardashian is getting a lumpectomy
on American Idol and I'm not missing that!"

First, jet fuel cannot melt structural
steel.
Let me say that again because it's
important...
Jet fuel cannot melt structural steel,
but that remains the central explanation
of the
Bush investigation as the reason the towers
collapsed. And yet, even months after 9-11
excavators found large pools of molten
steel under
the pile of debris. Some chemical process
was responsible for that molten metal and
it
certainly
wasn't kerosene.
Second, the twin towers of the World Trade
Center were not hollow boxes.
They were constructed around massive
steel and concrete cores attached to exterior
walls made of steel thicker than
tank
armor. Being struck by a passenger jet
was an event they were specifically designed
to handle. The building was constructed
so
ruggedly
that some workers reported barely even
feeling the impact.
Third, there's no reasonable explanation
why multi-ton steel girders could be flung
as much as 600 feet away from the collapsing
towers as gravity has this peculiar effect
of pullings things down, not outwards.
This makes Newton's third law of motion
rather problematic unless each girder had
its own little jet-pack.
Fourth, even though an incredible number
of mistakes were made on 9-11 no one in
a position of responsibility lost their
job as a result. Not one person was
fired or demoted. Must be nice.
When you saw the towers fall on 9-11 you were not
looking at structures succumbing to gravity, you
were looking at buildings being literally blown
to bits. WTC
Seven,
which wasn't struck by anything more than some debris
on one side, collapsed into its own
footprint on 9-11 and almost no one has heard of
it, let alone cares.
I care. I'll always care.
The Bush administration
used 9-11 to swindle Americans out of both their
rights,
with
the PATRIOT
Act,
and out of trillions of tax dollars wasted on phony
wars. It's hard
for the average person to conceive that someone (Cheney,
Rumsfeld, Rice) could be that evil but they were
and they are. They counted on our natural inability
to cope
with
wickedness
on that grand of a scale and they're getting away
with it.
And as long no asks questions they'll do
it again.
