50 questions on 911

Subject: [chat] 50 questions on 911
(Asia Times)
It's September 11 all over again - eight years on. The George W Bush
administration is out. The "global war on terror" is still on, renamed
"overseas contingency operations" by the Barack Obama administration.
Obama's "new strategy" - a war escalation - is in play in AfPak. Osama bin
Laden may be dead or not. "Al-Qaeda" remains a catch-all ghost entity.
September 11 - the neo-cons' "new Pearl Harbor" - remains the darkest jigsaw
puzzle of the young 21st century.
It's useless to expect US corporate media and the ruling elites' political
operatives to call for a true, in-depth investigation into the attacks on
the US on September 11, 2001. Whitewash has been the norm. But even
establishment highlight Dr Zbig "Grand Chessboard" Brzezinski, a former
national security advisor, has admitted to the US Senate that the post-9/11
"war on terror" is a "mythical historical narrative".
The following questions, some multi-part - and most totally ignored by the
9/11 Commission - are just the tip of the immense 9/11 iceberg. A hat tip
goes to the indefatigable work of 911truth.org; whatreallyhappened.com;
architects and engineers for 9/11 truth; the Italian documentary Zero: an
investigation into 9/11; and Asia Times Online readers' e-mails.
None of these questions has been convincingly answered - according to the
official narrative. It's up to US civil society to keep up the pressure.
Eight years after the fact, one fundamental conclusion is imperative. The
official narrative edifice of 9/11 is simply not acceptable.
Fifty questions
1) How come dead or not dead Osama bin Laden has not been formally indicted
by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as responsible for 9/11? Is it
because the US government - as acknowledged by the FBI itself - has not
produced a single conclusive piece of evidence?
2) How could all the alleged 19 razor-blade box cutter-equipped Muslim
perpetrators have been identified in less than 72 hours - without even a
crime scene investigation?
3) How come none of the 19's names appeared on the passenger lists released
the same day by both United Airlines and American Airlines?
4) How come eight names on the "original" FBI list happened to be found
alive and living in different countries?
5) Why would pious jihadi Mohammed Atta leave a how-to-fly video manual, a
uniform and his last will inside his bag knowing he was on a suicide
mission?
6) Why did Mohammed Atta study flight simulation at Opa Locka, a hub of no
less than six US Navy training bases?
7) How could Mohammed Atta's passport have been magically found buried among
the Word Trade Center (WTC)'s debris when not a single flight recorder was
found?
Who is in the possession of the "disappeared" eight indestructible black
boxes on those four flights?
9) Considering multiple international red alerts about a possible terrorist
attack inside the US - including former secretary of state Condoleezza
Rice's infamous August 6, 2001, memo - how come four hijacked planes
deviating from their computerized flight paths and disappearing from radar
are allowed to fly around US airspace for more than an hour and a half - not
to mention disabling all the elaborate Pentagon's defense systems in the
process?
10) Why the secretary of the US Air Force James Roche did not try to
intercept both planes hitting the WTC (only seven minutes away from McGuire
Air Force Base in New Jersey) as well as the Pentagon (only 10 minutes away
from McGuire)? Roche had no less than 75 minutes to respond to the plane
hitting the Pentagon.
11) Why did George W Bush continue to recite "My Pet Goat" in his Florida
school and was not instantly absconded by the secret service?
12) How could Bush have seen the first plane crashing on WTC live - as he
admitted? Did he have previous knowledge - or is he psychic?
13) Bush said that he and Andrew Card initially thought the first hit on the
WTC was an accident with a small plane. How is that possible when the FAA as
well as NORAD already knew this was about a hijacked plane?
14) What are the odds of transponders in four different planes be turned off
almost simultaneously, in the same geographical area, very close to the
nation's seat of power in Washington, and no one scrambles to contact the
Pentagon or the media?
15) Could defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld explain why initial media
reports said that there were no fighter jets available at Andrews Air Force
Base and then change the reports that there were, but not on high alert?
16) Why was the DC Air National Guard in Washington AWOL on 9/11?
17) Why did combat jet fighters of the 305th Air Wing, McGuire Air Force
Base in New Jersey not intercept the second hijacked plane hitting the WTC,
when they could have done it within seven minutes?
18) Why did none of the combat jet fighters of the 459th Aircraft Squadron
at Andrews Air Force Base intercept the plane that hit the Pentagon, only 16
kilometers away? And since we're at it, why the Pentagon did not release the
full video of the hit?
19) A number of very experienced airline pilots - including US ally Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak, a former fighter jet pilot - revealed that, well,
only crack pilots could have performed such complex maneuvers on the
hijacked jets, while others insisted they could only have been accomplished
by remote control. Is it remotely believable that the hijackers were up to
the task?
20) How come a substantial number of witnesses did swear seeing and hearing
multiple explosions in both towers of the WTC?
21) How come a substantial number of reputed architects and engineers are
adamant that the official narrative simply does not explain the largest
structural collapse in recorded history (the Twin Towers) as well as the
collapse of WTC building 7, which was not even hit by a jet?
22) According to Frank de Martini, WTC's construction manager, "We designed
the building to resist the impact of one or more jetliners." The second
plane nearly missed tower 1; most of the fuel burned in an explosion outside
the tower. Yet this tower collapsed first, long before tower 2 that was
"perforated" by the first hit. Jet fuel burned up fast - and by far did not
reach the 2000-degree heat necessary to hurt the six tubular steel columns
in the center of the tower - designed specifically to keep the towers from
collapsing even if hit by a Boeing 707. A Boeing 707 used to carry more fuel
than the Boeing 757 and Boeing 767 that actually hit the towers.
23) Why did Mayor Rudolph Giuliani instantly authorized the shipment of WTC
rubble to China and India for recycling?
24) Why was metallic debris found no less than 13 kilometers from the crash
site of the plane that went down in Pennsylvania? Was the plane in fact shot
down - under vice president Dick Cheney's orders?
25) The Pipelineistan question. What did US ambassador Wendy Chamberlain
talk about over the phone on October 10, 2001, with the oil minister of
Pakistan? Was it to tell him that the 1990s-planned Unocal gas pipeline
project, TAP (Turkmenistan/Afghanistan/ Pakistan), abandoned because of
Taliban demands on transit fees, was now back in business? (Two months
later, an agreement to build the pipeline was signed between the leaders of
the three countries).
26) What is former Unocal lobbyist and former Bush pet Afghan Zalmay
Khalilzad up to in Afghanistan?
27) How come former Pakistani foreign minister Niaz Niak said in mid-July
2001 that the US had already decided to strike against Osama bin Laden and
the Taliban by October? The topic was discussed secretly at the July Group
of Eight summit in Genoa, Italy, according to Pakistani diplomats.
28) How come US ambassador to Yemen Barbara Bodine told FBI agent John
O'Neill in July 2001 to stop investigating al-Qaeda's financial operations -
with O'Neill instantly moved to a security job at the WTC, where he died on
9/11?
29) Considering the very intimate relationship between the Taliban and
Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), and the ISI and the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA), is Bin Laden alive, dead or still a valuable
asset of the ISI, the CIA or both?
30) Was Bin Laden admitted at the American hospital in Dubai in the United
Arab Emirates on July 4, 2001, after flying from Quetta, Pakistan, and
staying for treatment until July 11?
31) Did the Bin Laden group build the caves of Tora Bora in close
cooperation with the CIA during the 1980s' anti-Soviet jihad?
32) How come General Tommy Franks knew for sure that Bin Laden was hiding in
Tora Bora in late November 2001?
33) Why did president Bill Clinton abort a hit on Bin Laden in October 1999?
Why did then-Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf abort a covert ops in the
same date? And why did Musharraf do the same thing again in August 2001?
34) Why did George W Bush dissolve the Bin Laden Task Force nine months
before 9/11?
35) How come the (fake) Bin Laden home video - in which he "confesses" to
being the perpetrator of 9/11 - released by the US on December 13, 2001, was
found only two weeks after it was produced (on November 9); was it really
found in Jalalabad (considering Northern Alliance and US troops had not even
arrived there at the time); by whom; and how come the Pentagon was forced to
release a new translation after the first (botched) one?
36) Why was ISI chief Lieutenant General Mahmud Ahmad abruptly "retired" on
October 8, 2001, the day the US started bombing Afghanistan?
37) What was Ahmad up to in Washington exactly on the week of 9/11 (he
arrived on September 4)? On the morning of 9/11, Ahmad was having breakfast
on Capitol Hill with Bob Graham and Porter Goss, both later part of the 9/11
Commission, which simply refused to investigate two of its members. Ahmad
had breakfast with Richard Armitage of the State Department on September 12
and 13 (when Pakistan negotiated its "cooperation" with the "war on terror")
and met all the CIA and Pentagon top brass. On September 13, Musharraf
announced he would send Ahmad to Afghanistan to demand to the Taliban the
extradition of Bin Laden.
38) Who inside the ISI transferred US$100,000 to Mohammed Atta in the summer
of 2001 - under orders of Ahmad himself, as Indian intelligence insists? Was
it really ISI asset Omar Sheikh, Bin Laden's information technology
specialist who later organized the slaying of American journalist Daniel
Pearl in Karachi? So was the ISI directly linked to 9/11?
39) Did the FBI investigate the two shady characters who met Mohammed Atta
and Marwan al-Shehhi in Harry's Bar at the Helmsley Hotel in New York City
on September 8, 2001?
40) What did director of Asian affairs at the State Department Christina
Rocca and the Taliban ambassador to Pakistan Abdul Salam Zaeef discuss in
their meeting in Islamabad in August 2001?
41) Did Washington know in advance that an "al-Qaeda" connection would kill
Afghan nationalist commander Ahmad Shah Massoud, aka "The Lion of the
Panjshir", only two days before 9/11? Massoud was fighting the Taliban and
al-Qaeda - helped by Russia and Iran. According to the Northern Alliance,
Massoud was killed by an ISI-Taliban-al Qaeda axis. If still alive, he would
never have allowed the US to rig a loya jirga (grand council) in Afghanistan
and install a puppet, former CIA asset Hamid Karzai, as leader of the
country.
42) Why did it take no less than four months before the name of Ramzi
Binalshibh surfaced in the 9/11 context, considering the Yemeni was a
roommate of Mohammed Atta in his apartment cell in Hamburg?
43) Is pathetic shoe-bomber Richard Reid an ISI asset?
44) Did then-Russian president Vladimir Putin and Russian intelligence tell
the CIA in 2001 that 25 terrorist pilots had been training for suicide
missions?
45) When did the head of German intelligence, August Hanning, tell the CIA
that terrorists were "planning to hijack commercial aircraft?"
46) When did Egyptian President Mubarak tell the CIA about an attack on the
US with an "airplane stuffed with explosives?"
47) When did Israel's Mossad director Efraim Halevy tell the CIA about a
possible attack on the US by "200 terrorists?"
48) Were the Taliban aware of the warning by a Bush administration official
as early as February 2001 - "Either you accept our offer of a carpet of
gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs?"
49) Has Northrop-Grumman used Global Hawk technology - which allows to
remotely control unmanned planes - in the war in Afghanistan since October
2001? Did it install Global Hawk in a commercial plane? Is Global Hawk
available at all for commercial planes?
50) Would Cheney stand up and volunteer the detailed timeline of what he was
really up to during the whole day on 9/11?

Norad failed to show while all this was happening!
Ha!
That is like having three of the major banks in New York robbed, all a
half hour apart, with alarms going off, people being shot to death, horrific
screams for help as these looters go from one bank to the next, and after
about 1 1/2 hours of all this terror, there are still no police on the scene
because they are playing simulated bank robbery games. Ha!
What a slap in the face to anyone with even the smallest of intelligence!

You're supposed to be whining about Obama's birth certificate, which is the
only important question needing an answer in the entire universe.

Questions that should be answered truthfully before the Bush
administration and the Israelis(and their American Jewish supporters)
can cover all of this with smoke and mirrors. We need to stand these
people up for trial and open hangings. Not one more American life or one
more American cent for Israels bullshit genocidal wars. Has anyone even
got a clue as to how many civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan we have
killed as that insane word, peripheral damage. Stop letting all
immigrants into America until such time as this is sorted out and all
illegals are properly expelled. America for Americans!

Possibly because he's already under indictment for other crimes.

Because that's where the simulator was located? You really can ask

It wasn't "magically found". It wasn't even Atta's passport. It
wasn't found buried among the debris. It was found before the towers
collapsed. You don't even have a clue.

"Black boxes" aren't indestructible. And four of the black boxes
(Flight 93 and Flight 77) were recovered.

Your "questions are so full of lies. None of the aircraft flew around
for an hour and a half. Their flight paths aren't "computerized".
And the Pentagon has no "elaborate defense system".

The Secretary of the US Air Force isn't in direct command of any
aircraft. Before Flight 11 hit the WTC, no one knew that was going to
be the outcome. How does one intercept that aircraft if one doesn't
know what it was going to do? And Flight 175 struck Tower 2 only
about 15 minutes later. And lastly, there were no alert aircraft at
McGuire AFB.

What exactly did you expect him to do? Ride out and mount up on an
F-15 ala "Independence Day" and go hunting for domestic civilian
airliners?

No, he's just an idiot. He didn't see the first plane crashing into
the WTC live.
He has a slight problem with reality. Like when he said this:
September the 11th changed me. I remember the day I was in the -- at
Ground Zero, on September the 4th, 2001. It's a day I will never
forget.
-- The day... maybe not, but the date is an entirely different
matter, Lititz, Pennsylvania, Oct. 27, 2004
I have a record in office, as well. And all Americans have seen that
record. September the 4th, 2001, I stood in the ruins of the Twin
Towers. It's a day I will never forget.
-- And again he has trouble with the space-time continuum, Marlton,
New Jersey, Oct. 18, 2004
Face it, the man doesn't represent the sharpest knife in the
drawer....

Probably because the fighters that were there weren't AF but ANG.

Do you really think that ANG pilots are on 24 hour alert?

Because they weren't on alert. To intercept in seven minutes, an
aircraft would have to have been sitting on the runway, fueled, armed
and with a pilot in the cockpit. On 9/11 that scenario didn't exist
anywhere in the United States. In fact, there were only 14 aircraft
in the entire United States that were fueled, armed and had a pilot
available - not in the cockpit- with a 15 minute scramble time for
intercept duties.

Obviously de Martini was wrong. Leslie Robertson, an architect of the
WTC towers says otherwise. And the fires didn't have to reach 2000
degrees to "hurt" the steel.

Metallic debris? The only debris that was found that far away was
stuff that was light enough to be carried on the wind. And the plane
wasn't shot down.

Apart from your irrelevant concern to the Original Topic Posted, you
tens to sum everybody up as a lesser person than what you think you are..
I doubt if you "talk" that way in the real world......I doubt it
very much....
Almost all of your posts consist of slang like
kooktard..../Loon...../......tards.....does this make you feel HIP with
these 25 year old terms.
If you can really debunk something, post it, but your TOS is proly
at it's limit so far.

That may be as possible as enforcing the "posse comitatus act"
whereas the para/military can't intervene in American Lives, like Waco or
Ruby ridge and 1,000's of other incidents since then.
Crowd control weapons like hot-microwaves, heavy artillery and many
others are just an addition to police brutality and the abuse of the patriot
act, which is just about as popular as the NAFTA superhighway....
Foreign invasions are usually used to acquire more fat of the land
wealth and to execute the effect of crowd control weapons like microwave
turrets, unmanned robot tanks and sniper turrets.
All this, is solely to preserve the interests of The Big Gang of
Obama/Bush/Clinton atrocities. Only Obama can investigate them, but the onus
of burden has been transferred to him by the former leaders, making him a
3rd party accomplice!

All a very good Scientific Discussion but going in the wrong direction......
AFAIK Both planes that hit WTC had a Blue Round NASA Logo on the
cargo planes, and a scud type missile on the bottom of them for THE WTC
internal ignition.
