For someone to make such a ridicules comment of one’s credibility I find that strange coming from you when you don’t post sources, or spout opinions as facts, if you weren’t so emotional about the fact that you are wrong I would have consider a real debate with you.
Again, this thread is about: I just saw “witness to 911” and your whole post is off topic.
Anyone can Google anything about 911 and reliesed we have been lied to.

Remember, neutral readers of this thread, that Dave made a claim about an alleged piece of wreckage. He could not prove it and he withdrew his wreckage as evidence.
The null hypothesis is that there was some kind of explosion at the Pentagon. If you wish to present an alternative hypothesis, then you also need to prove that it is true.
Of course, this is staple material for the Logic 101 course that you so evidently failed.
Dave claims that stating an aircraft hit the Pentagon is equivalent to stating that Flight AA77 hit the Pentagon.
Basic set theory, let's define two sets for objetcs that could have hit the Pentagon:
A = [all possible aircraft]
B = [Flight AA77]
Clearly, B is a subset of A. Clearly, A is not a subset of B.
Dave claims that A is a subset of B. Dave, you are wrong. Plain and simple.
"Cui Bono?" "Cui Bono?" is Latin for "who benefits?"
Is there a connection between the rich flow of profit and market manipulations flowing from 9-11 and the stonewalling by the Administration and the agency members of the National Security Council?
Time has passed since September 11, 2001. As new budgets are approved, financial statements published, laws passed, taxes cut and stocks go up, it is easier to identify who benefited politically and financially from 9-11.
As we map out the financial "real deal" on 9-11, we realize there are three categories of people benefiting.
Richly Guilty: The first category of people who benefited were those who are guilty and complicit in designing, implementing and financing the 9-11 operation. On such a sophisticated and successful covert operation, the people responsible would have had budgets and financing and would have organized the operation to maximize their political and financial benefits. This is the nature of economic warfare.
Richly Opportunistic: The second category of people who benefited were those who were opportunistic in taking advantage of 9-11 as an economic and political event as soon as it happened. Some folks, such as money managers, are obligated as fiduciaries to be opportunistic. Others, such as government officials, may be opportunistic at the cost of ignoring their fiduciary obligations. As one retired banking executive said, "Let's face it, if the guys in Washington had been doing their job instead of helping their pals make money, 9-11 could never have happened."
Sustainably Naïve: The third category of people who benefited where those who shared in the political and economic profits generated by the first two categories. Taking the position that, "money has no smell," the large number of people in this category are generally not cognizant of their complicity through the incentive system created by "voting with their money, time and attention."
Where to begin to determine the specifics of who benefited? This is a significant task for private citizens who do not have the rich flow of investigatory, intelligence and enforcement resources of government. Hence, a citizen led effort will need to break the task down into manageable collaborative pieces.
One way for global networks of researchers, blog authors and Internet media to start to build the "Cui Bono?" unanswered questions of 9-11 is to develop a framework that outlines the general areas of profiteering.

This is a rather strange claim, seeing I already said...SIX TIMES by my count...that I'm posting information from the 9/11 commission report. I've even taken to posting the exact page number and line number I'm getting my information from, and yet you STILL avoid looking it up.
-which to me is an open admission that you're going to believe what you yourself want to believe regardless of what anyone could possibly tell you, which for all practical purposes is the same thing as having an agenda.
So, either your prior statement is false and you really are here for an open discussion, or the statement is true and you're not really honest about being here for "a real debate" with anyone. Please clarify my confusion- which one is it?
That's right, you ARE being lied to, namely, these self serving conspiracy websites are putting out complete rubbish and deliberately withholding balanced information, which prevents you from making an informed judgement on your own.
It has everything to do with our recognizing a con job when we see one. As I said before, I don't see the problem as being with you, yourself, as you're obviously an otherwise intelligent person. You're simply the victim in all of this.
You're simply the victim in all of this.

The fact that flight 77 hit the Pentagon isn't an alternative hypothesis. It's the event that explains your null hypothesis.
Originally posted by GoodOlDave
All right then, since you enjoy pretending to be obtuse, I will clarify my statement- expressing the statement that flight 77 hit the pentagon is equivalent to expressing the statement that an aircraft hit the Pentagon becuase, with flight 77 being an aircraft, the former statement is a subset of the latter statement, BUT expressing the statement that an aircraft hit the pentagon is not necessarily equivalent to expressing the statement that flight 77 hit the Pentagon becuase although flight 77 was an aircraft, it likewise includes non-flight 77 aircraft such as cruise missiles and predator drones and thus increases the membership of the set which negates an obverse relationship. There, that should clear things up for you.

Saying that an aircraft hit the Pentagon and saying flight 77 hit the Pentagon is the exact same thing becuase flight 77 was in fact an aircraft.

No, Dave. This is incorrect. Stating that an aircraft hit the Pentagon is not the same as stating that the alleged Flight AA77 hit the Pentagon.

Yes it is the same whether you want to admit it or not.

BUT expressing the statement that an aircraft hit the pentagon is not necessarily equivalent to expressing the statement that flight 77 hit the Pentagon

you're STILL going to have to cough up a reason why we shouldn't believe AA77 was what hit the Pentagon.

In truth, I don't know who took that individual photo (though I'd guess it was Mark Faram, as he's the one who took the photo of the big chunk of wreckage with AA colors, nearby)

SPreston, you'll probably have to ask Dave one question at a time. We don't want to confuse him with too much right now.
I'm sure that he's still trying to figure out how he managed to contradict himself with regards to his earlier claim about what allegedly impacted the Pentagon:

See this is the problem everyone who has done just a “little research” on 911 already knows that the 911 commission report is a white wash of lies, perhaps if you spend a little more time away from those disinformation websites you would find out that it is YOU that has been deceive.
I have read the entire 911-commission report cover to cover, and I can assure you what most people already know, that there was no accountability in our government. It makes it very clear that all of our government agency were doing their jobs on the morning of 911.
Furthermore, the government cherry picked what eyewitness they wanted to use to sell their lies, when in fact there were hundreds of creditable eyewitnesses that went on record who saw and heard something total different from what the government was telling.
1. To learn the truth about 911 from creditable sources, and creditable science.
2. To spread the word and to debate people by using nothing more than creditable well-researched facts and sciences and to post creditable sources.
Let’s, clear this up for you, if you want to debate me then email the MOD to learn how to debate. Because you obviously do not know how when you learn the art of debating then come see me.
Lets get this straight right now, YOU do not know where I get my sources from, so stop “assuming” that you know, furthermore, just because I do not agree with your ridiculous “opinions” and “rants” doesn’t make me uninformed, or mislead, or duped by websites that YOU “think” are rubbish.
No, you are sadly wrong, however, how can anyone reach you when you have been convinced of the OS fairytale.

You couldn't prove that the photo was genuine. You withdrew it as evidence. We have established that.
Dave, your claim that the alleged Flight AA77 hit the Pentagon is an alternative hypothesis. Until you realise this, you're not going to pass Logic 101 sticking to your failed beliefs.
You then backed out of your claim that the alleged Flight AA77 hit the Pentagon and instead claimed that an aircraft hit the Pentagon. You tried to qualify that a little further by claiming that it was an AA aircraft, based on the colour of some pieces of scrap metal, that you alleged were wreckage.

You obviously have nothing factual to bring to the table as far as 911.
You respond to every OS "non-believer" by hurling insults...
Dave, stick to driving the cab and watching cartoons.

Please don't answer the above questions. In fact, don't spew your demented opinions in my direction. I don't think you even know what you're talking about, maybe you just want to join the goodol' club of ignrance and denial.
I'm done, time to flush. Glad this is online - no paper needed!

SO, I will officially say that I really don't give a flip whether saying flight 77 hitting the Pentagon is logically or symantecally the same thing as saying an aircraft hit the Pentagon, whether it conforms to any associative logic thereof, or even whether Pepsi is better than Coke. My position is that flight 77 hit the Pentagon and so any attempt to obfuscate this position away from that statement is entirely your doing, not mine.

Thus, THE VERY NEXT THING I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU is why I shouldn't believe the photographic and eyewitness accounts that it was in fact flight 77.

You will have proven yourself to be an individual who is here simply to play these children's games rather than participate in the discussion of 9/11 conspiracies, and I won't waste my time responding.
...and I will state...AGAIN...that if you're going to accuse the 9/11 commission report to be a whitewash of lies then it's your responsibility to have read the report to know what the lies even are.
9/11 Commission Chairmen Admit Whitewashing the Cause of the Attacks
August 7, 2006
Ivan Eland
9/11 Commission Was Set Up to Fail!
“We think the Commission, in many ways, was set up to fail. Because we had not enough money, we didn’t have enough time, and we have been appointed by the most partisan people in Washington.”
— Governor Thomas Kean, Chairmain of the 9/11 Commission
Leading 9/11 Widows Declare 9/11 Commission A Whitewash
September 11 Victim Families who Fought to Create the 9/11 Commission Declare it a Failure on the First Anniversary of the 9/11 Report.
- 9/11 families join researchers to ask independent media and foreign press for help
WASHINGTON - July 21 - On Friday, July 22, 2005, one year to the day after the release of the "9/11 Commission Report," Project Censored founder, Dr. Peter Phillips will lead a National Press Club briefing entitled "The Failure of the 9/11 Commission Report and the Mainstream Media's Disregard." The briefing will feature scores of detailed examples of the Commission's flawed findings, self-censorship, misrepresentations and conflicts of interest that call the accuracy and integrity of their entire investigation into doubt.
"Whitewash': 9/11 Director Gave Evidence to Own Inquiry
by Shaun Waterman
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- The panel set up to investigate why the United States failed to prevent the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, was rocked Thursday by the bizarre revelation that two of its senior officials were so closely involved in the events they are investigating that they have had to be interviewed as part of the inquiry.
Whitewash as public service:
How The 9/11 Commission Report defrauds the nation
I don't have to tell you that simply saying "it's a whitewash of lies" entirely becuase you're blindly repeating someone else telling you "it's a whitewash of lies" is
being uninformed and ignorant. I keep asking you to give me an example of such a lie and you can't even do that.
I invite you to prove me wrong- give me an example of just WHAT in the 9/11 commission report is a lie. Pick one. Any one will do.
There is no flipping way you could have read the 9/11 report cover to cover and then make this claim.
There is no flipping way you could have read the 9/11 report cover to cover and then ask the absurdly elementary questions you're asking, either.
You were astoundedly surprised to hear that fighters were over NYC moments after the attack, and you even demanded to know what base they came from as if you thought you caught me in a lie.
I'll wager that you STILL don't know what base the F-15s came from, do you?
I even gave you the benefit of the doubt and asked you what else they supposedly saw/heard other than just explosions, and all you could do is post "they saw/heard explosions" all over again.
