In your opinion they are in the war criminal section. In my opinion, they are politicians...its about 70-30 what comes out of their mouths depending on the topic.

I posted recently in another 9/11 thread, but I think I caught the tail end of it and didn't get any possible explanations, so I'll try again here.
I basically said I wouldn't put anything past our government, but if they indeed perpetrated 9/11, why wouldn't Osama bin Laden/al-quaida/Taliban have taken that opportunity to really drive home their idea of how evil the west is by simply saying "we didn't do it."
Seems to me their agenda would have been better served denying it than taking credit for it, at the very least they could've sown some discord.
I'm not looking for debates about how buildings should fall when crashed into by planes, I'm simply looking for discussion on what I said above.
The Declaration of Jihad on the Americans Occupying the Country of the Two Sacred Places was published in al- Quds al-Arabi, a London-based Arabic newspaper. The pur- pose of the document was to persuade Muslims that the United States is the primary enemy of Muslims, responsi- ble for oppressing them in numerous lands, and that Mus- lims therefore have a duty to wage jihad against America. The declaration blends religious texts with descriptions of overall Muslim suffering and the specific suffering of Mus- lims in Saudi Arabia. In the latter case, the declaration asserts that oppression, corruption, and economic misman- agement are connected to what it calls American military occupation of the heart of the Muslim world. The abridged version of the document reproduced here captures all of the major themes in the original version, which expands on grievances particular to Saudi Arabia and incorporates more citations of classical authorities.
I remind them of what Gabriel said to the Prophet, after the battle of Ahzab: “When the Messenger of God, prayers and peace be upon him, departed to Medina and laid down his sword, Gabriel came to him and said: ‘You have laid down your sword? By God, the angels have not yet laid down their swords. Get up and go with whoever is with you to the Bani Qorayza, and I will go ahead of you to shake their fortresses and strike fear into them.’
So Gabriel went off, accompanied by his pageant of angels, the Prophet, and his holy warriors and helpers.” This is as it was told by al-Bukhari.
I say to our Muslim brothers across the world: your brothers in Saudi Arabia and Palestine are call- ing for your help and asking you to share with them in the jihad against the enemies of God, your ene- mies the Israelis and Americans. They are asking you to defy them in whatever way you possibly can, so as to expel them in defeat and humiliation from the holy places of Islam. God Almighty has said: “If they seek help from you against persecution, it is your duty to assist them.”
Cavalry of Islam, be mounted! This is a difficult time, so you yourselves must be tough. You should know that your coming-together and cooperation in order to liberate the holy places of Islam is the right step towards unification of the word of our umma under the banner of God’s unity. At this point we can only raise our palms humbly to ask God Almighty to provide good fortune and success in this matter.
Lord, bless your slave and messenger Muham- mad, and his family and companions. Our final prayer is praise to God, Lord of the worlds.
Your brother in Islam,
Osama bin Muhammad bin Laden

He might have got that from your innuendo that you can excuse war criminals for their actions because they are politicians.
You might not have intended it to come across that way, but it did.

I am used to poor reading comprehension from believers in conspiracy theories. But, let's try it this way, none of the politicians listed have been indicted/tried for war crimes, therefore none of them are war criminals.

You're right on that.
Improved writing skills would help in making arguments. Even the people who don't believe there are conspiracies. Or in any conspiracies the media wouldn't tell the world about.
Then again maybe I just have a horrendous memory with specific dates years old. If someone asked me what exact day my plane landed in Florida for vacation 3 years ago, I'd look at them like they had 4 heads.
What day did you graduate high school? That's a significant moment in anyone's life, yet I bet the vast majority couldn't just spit out the exact date without thinking about it.
Better yet, how about the first time my daughter said "I love you." Happiest moment of my life, but there's not a chance I could tell you exactly what day it was, I was happy in the moment, not thinking about what day it was, sort of like this half brother arriving in Geneva to see his family safe.
Something incredibly important in your life, yes, like the day your children are born, wedding anniversary, dates that are pounded into your head every year.

" teams involved planting bombs just after the twin tower attacks"
Planting bombs just after the attacks? So....trucks just showed up at the Towers loading docks and crews started moving bombs into the buildings and managed to carry them all the way up to the impact zones with no one noticing?

They had nearly 1.5 to 2 hours to plant 1 or more bombs. The first tower was hit 8.46 and did not collapse till 10.28. The best time to plant explosives is when the security is lax and there is panic inside the building,. And this team could be already inside the buildings just before the attack waiting for the order to go?

While the buildings were on fire, and everyone was going down the stairs. The jet impacts cut the elevator cables or flaming jet fuel ran down the shafts. Miles of wiring ran through burning buildings?
This "they could do it on the A Team Hollywood" crap has to stop......
