You gotta be kidding me, Nef. Have you ever been in the military? I don't know how the military is in the U.K., but here in the states, soldiers don't go through boot camp and then sit on their asphalts for the rest of their military careers. They train hard, every single day for any and every scenario imaginable, at all levels of the military and government.
Just because our military didn't have as many fighters ready as we used to, doesn't mean for a second that they weren't ready and prepared at all times for any scenario.
If anyone was incompetent, heads would have rolled. But they didn't. Instead, heads were promoted. Most every single head that had power on 9/11 was promoted. How ironic is that?
"You guys did such a good job on 9/11 that you're all promoted!" What a friggin crock.
Interesting theory, Nef. But that's not anywhere near where the evidence leads.
Just because I'm a 9/11 forum mod doesn't mean I have to jump through the hoops of the truth movement.

Most people don't want to think the US Government was complicit with the attacks that day, and yet you think it was a controlled demolition. Why does your theory have more weight?

I prefer to think independently, thank you very much. You ought to try it some time.

Its a theory. Think about it.

You and other debunkers/skeptics are all beating your chest around a bush. And every one of you is making up every possible thing you can think of to explain what may have happened.

Have you watched any of the videos where you can see the detonation flashes (squibs) going off as the buildings collapse?
heard numerous secondary explosions at the base of the towers?
The WTC employees who testified that there were explosions in the sub-levels BEFORE any plane impacted?
The scientists and researchers who found thermite explosives in the WTC dust?
The physicists who claim the towers' collapse at free-fall speeds violates basic laws of physics
who maintain the oxygen-starved fires weren't nearly hot enough to melt
How about the fact that no other steel-framed skyscraper in history has collapsed due to fire
Or the original WTC architects and engineers who specifically constructed the towers to withstand multiple impacts from a 707,

You, however, appear to be so entrenched in what you believe so deeply that you don't even want to contemplate anything else.

Imagine if "9/11 Truth" was invented by TPTB in order to create a massive distraction from incompetance at the highest level. Get all the smart people asking questions and running round in circles in order to distract away from the real problem.

One thing you should note though GoldenFleece - this is a theory. What you believe is a theory also. The only facts here are that buildings fell and people died. Everything else is pure speculation.

in a demolition explosives go off BEFORE the building falls

As the towers did not collapse from the base, they did not hear explosives
Originally posted by dereks
wrong, they heard the plane impact

another truther lie, thermite was NOT found
Originally posted by dereks
yet another truther lie, only truthers claim steel was melted, which is a lie.

No matter if the OS or a conspiracy theory was the truth, there should have been investigations and punishments.
I'm not knocking the general US armed services here, because I know they are made up of men and women who do their level best for their country - but heres the scary part - what if the people who are paid to make the really really tough decisions froze, and simply had no clue what to do, because - in all honesty - they never thought it would happen, and never prepared themselves for the day it did?
Ryland: A Sibel Edmonds 'Bombshell' - Bin Laden Worked for U.S. Until 9/11
Edmonds expert fills in details from recent BRAD BLOG interview with noted, gagged FBI translator/whistleblower...
Whistleblower: Bin Laden was US proxy until 9/11
Summary of Evidence A Call to Action
1. Rapid onset of destruction with unnatural symmetry of debris
2. Constant acceleration at or near free-fall through the path of what should have been greatest resistance
3. 118 witnesses to explosions and flashes of light, and foreknowledge of WTC 7’s collapse
4. Lateral ejection of multi-ton steel sections 600 feet at more than 60 mph
5. Mid-air pulverization of 90,000 tons of concrete, and massive volumes of expanding pyroclastic-like dust clouds
6. Isolated explosive ejections 20 to 60 stories below “crush zone”
7. Total destruction of all three buildings, with 220 missing floors from the Twin Towers – each an acre in size
8. Several tons of molten steel/iron
9. Evidence of thermite incendiaries on steel beams
10. Nanothermite composites found in WTC dust
11. Destruction of Evidence by those in charge of the investigation
Twin Towers Evidence Blows Away Fire Theory
Initially it was just one flash. Then this flash just kept popping all the way around the building and that building had started to explode.

Exotic High Tech Explosives Positively Identified in World Trade Center Dust
A ground-breaking scientific paper confirmed this week that red-gray flakes found throughout multiple samples of WTC dust are actually unexploded fragments of nanothermite, an exotic high-tech explosive.
The samples were taken from far-separated locations in Manhattan, some as early as 10 minutes after the second tower (WTC 1) collapsed, ruling out any possible contamination from cleanup operations.
Authored by an international team of physicists, chemists, and others, the research paper was titled "Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe." It was published in The Open Chemical Physics Journal, 2009, Vol. 2., and is available online for free download. The lead author is Niels H. Harrit of the Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen.
United 93 Still Airborne After Alleged Crash - According To ATC/Radar
04/28/09 (PilotsFor911Truth.org) - Recently it has been brought to our attention that Air Traffic Control (ATC) transcripts reveal United 93 as being airborne after it's alleged crash. Similar scenarios have been offered with regard to American 77 and American 11 showing an aircraft target continuing past its alleged crash point in the case of American 11, or past the turn-around point in the case of American 77. However, both these issues can be easily explained by "Coast Mode" radar tracking. This is not the case with United 93.

How about the fact that no other steel-framed skyscraper in history has collapsed due to fire, even those that burned for days at much hotter temperatures?
The Windsor Tower was completely gutted by the fire on 12 February 2005. A large portion of the floor slabs above the 17th Floor progressively collapsed during the fire when the unprotected steel perimeter columns on the upper levels buckled and collapsed (see Figure 1). It was believed that the massive transfer structure at the 17th Floor level resisted further collapse of the building.
Fires are another cause of failures in steel-framed structures. If the steel framing is not protected by fire-resistant materials, heat from the fire will raise the temperature of the steel above its yield point. Once the steel yields, it will no longer be able to carry the loads it was designed for, and deformation or collapse of the structure will occur. Fire-damaged members are not normally repairable and usually need to be replaced when the structure is repaired.
