Re: Pentagon Attack
Scott,<br />My original point was this:<br /><br />It doesn't matter. It just DOES NOT matter. Take for example these facts; in 1992 China did not have the technology to build a missle capable of hitting Los Angeles. Their missles could reach our West Coast, but they couldn't hit any specific target. In 1994 the Chinese via John Whong, The Lippo Group, and Chinese Buddist Monks among others donated heavily to the Clinton campaign for re-elction. Around this time Clinton turned over some of our military assets in California to the Chinese government. Then a little Asian man was caught "stealing" computer files from Los Alimos Laboritories, but never prosecuted. In 1999, the Chinese were testing missles that were capable of reaching targets as far away as Washinton DC, with accuracy never before seen in Chinese weapons technology. Now, when looked at objectively, it seems obvious that the information the guy was accused of stealing from Los Alimos was actually bought and paid for by the Chi-Coms, and the Clinton administration is directly responsible for a leap in the weapons developments of a communist state that has been issuing threats for years toward the United States regarding our interference with thier desire to reclaim Taiwan. It is also well documented that Madeleine Albright and President Clinton shared the philosphy that peace brought about by strength through power was flawed, and that true world peace could only be achieved if every industrialized, tech advance country was on a level playing field (they didn't think it was "fair" for America to be the only real super power in the vacuum that formed with the collaps of the Soviet Union, they beileved that China should have the same capabilities as the US in order to maintain balance in power and therefore peace).<br /><br />So you see, it looks like a country that America cannot trust now has ICBMs with guidance systems that were copied directly from the most advance and sophisticated systems in the world; ours. It further more appears that this advancement in their weapons program was the result of a well orchestrated plan between our sitting president and the chinese government to carry out authorized espianage, against the will of the American people. In short, it looks like Clinton highjacked American National Security so he and Madeleine Albright could do what they thought was best for world peace. If that is true, they have placed America in greater jeopardy than we faced from the Soviet Union, and used the proceeds for the Clinton re-election campaign. See, it can be argued that if this happened, Clinton didn't do it becuase of a philisophical desire to achieve a lasting world peace (nice legacy though), but to generate some funds for his re-election bid.<br /><br /><br />Now, if all this is true, and as far fetched as sounds, it may be, that should be of concern to every American, and Clinton should be executed for treason. However, ultimately it does not matter and there isn't a damn thing anybody can do about it. Furthermore, if I had solid evidence of it, with pictures and audio and video recordings, signed documents et al, what good would it do me? The minute I tried to expose everything with proof, I would disappear, along with all the evidence. So you see, it really doesn't matter, and there is nothing you can do about a government conspiracy, whether it happened or not.<br /><br />With all of the possible conspiracies out there though, I just wish you were empassioned about one that didn't involve 64 innocent people on the airplane who were killed for no reason, plus the people who were killed or injured in the building. <br /><br />To answer your question Scott, yeah, if what you say happened really did happen, and the Saudi government was complicitous in the attacks, it would bother me. But from the morning of 9-11 I thought we should invade Suadi Arabia to begin with, then take Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Oman, UAE and Turkey too if they give us any lip. <br /><br />Also, let me ask you this: When was the last time you heard about our army engaging the North Koreans in combat? Did you know that it happens almost monthy? Yep, our guys get into scirmishes and fire fights along the DMZ all the time, and both sides suffer casualties, but you never hear about it. How often do you hear about American paratroopers getting killed while training? The 82nd averages two or three dead for every "mass attack" jump, and one dead for every 1 out of 3 night jumps. You never hear about it because it's not out in the open like a jet or helicopter crash that everyone can see. Everytime a division deploys to FTX, there are scores of injuries, some serious, and sometimes there are fatalities; none of which ever makes the news.<br /><br />What ever happened that day, let it go. Go fishing, have a nice cold beer, and spend the day BS'ing about nothing with your buds. Don't waste your time getting wrapped up in something that you have no more control over than sun spots, or global warming, or the price of tea in China. But most of all realize that Ameria hasn't been attacked on our own soil since that day because our men and women in uniform are going into harms way, engaging the enemy on thier turff and wining. And some of these brave souls are dieing over there in strange lands, far away from thier families, all for you and me and the ones we love. Think of them and those who lost their lives and loved ones on 9-11, because you CAN do something for them, even if it's something as small as tieing a yellow ribbon around a tree, or as great as falling on your knees and praying for them; but this other stuff is far beyong what any of us could do anything about if we wanted to.
