It would take hundreds of people to set up the plan to "launch missiles into the Pentagon and WTC buildings killing businessmen and federal employees, fabricate fake videos of airplanes flying into buildings to cover up those missiles and force all news media to broadcast them, set demolition devices and thermite bombs to demolish the buildings with innocent people and rescue crews inside, kill all the passengers on those flights and dispose of the bodies, fake videos of Osama Bin Laden bragging about it, and then convince the majority that Islamic terrorists did it".
That is a lot of extraordinary claims (not an exhaustive list by any means) that truthers make that I am skeptical of, and frankly I believe somebody would have fessed up due to a guilty conscience by now.

I think you need to ask yourself what could be gained by starting a war with Afghanistan and Iraq. Afghanistan's opium production went up dramatically since we went in. I wonder how that happens when your being invaded? Oh, yea the CIA and drug smuggling. Selling drug to help fund the war machine. Vietnam all over again.
There also was the desire to put a pipeline through Afghanistan in the 90's but Bin Laden wouldn't allow it. They couldn't have that could they. He was an obstacle that needed removing. The same with Saddam Hussein. I'm sure he ticked off the Government when he ordered the oil wells lite when he retreated from Kuwait. If he couldn't have it neither would America. You do know that Iraq and Iran has a lot of oil. America uses a lot of oil. I find it funny how there is now tension with Iran and we just so happen are having wars in two of Iran's bordering countries. What a coincidence. It's all staged. An actual game of chess. The war was structured to obtain as much oil as we can. We have either hit peak oil use or already did years ago. It's the mad rush to get it while the getting is good.

You seriously think a team of 6 was sufficient to rig WTC 1,
WTC 2 and WTC 7 for demolition ?
You don't think any of the team would think it odd that they were rigging buildings that thousands of people were working in ?
Did none of them twig afterwards what they had been doing ?
If these were commercial, hijacked aircraft, then when their fuel laden bodies (made of light metals), hit the concrete and steel of the massive and strong structure that was the World Trade Centre Towers, they would have exploded on impact, outside of the building as well as in!
Assuming your table of m = 100 lb. = 45 kg, initially travelling at 60 mph = 27 m/s is deformed by 10 in. = 27 cm then the impact time interval is approximately
dt = 0.27 m / (27 m/s) = 0.01 s
During this 100th of a second it is decelerated from 27 m/s to zero, so
a = dv/dt = (27 m/s) / 0.01 s = 2700 m/s^2
So the impact force is
F = m * a = 45 kg * 2700 m/s^2 = 121500 N
This is equivalent to the weight force of an object of 12385 kg!
You see, impact forces are quite large, but they only last for very short time intervals.

Apparently, you don't know the power of our own gov't. They nearly wiped out an entire NATION of indeginous people, disfigured generations of people in Vietnam, and control the news system.
Did you know Bureaucracy, the argued fourth branch of the national system (besides Juidicial, Executive, and Legislative) employes 3 million people and counting? That's the NSA, CIA, FBI, NASA...

Thousands of people can and do hold their silence, especially when there's threats involved. If you have a family you're not untouchable..
Manhattan project anyone? Over one hundred thousand people were involved and the secret was successfully kept.
No it wasn't, Stalin was up to speed in no time. We are now in the tenth year since 9/11 and not a single person has indicated their involvement, anonymously, death bed confession, guilt trip whatever.

If by that you mean have a change of heart and want to talk, consider the following scenario: you've been in the military for most of your adult life. It's all you know. You've been trained to follow orders. You've been on dozens of covert missions, and you've killed many people. You were told you were chosen for this particular mission because you were the only one who could do it. You were offered a huge bonus and lots of perks for doing it. You were asked to both sign and swear an oath of secrecy. And you did.
If you go to the press...all of your years of service, all of your sense of duty and honor, your loyalty to your fellow officers...all of that will be thrown in the trash. You'll suddenly be the person responsible for thousands of deaths. You'll be court martialed for treason. Probably executed.
Wouldn't it be easier to keep quiet?

Give it time; 9 years is not all that long. Besides, how do you know that nobody HAS come out with it yet? The MSM would never give them the time of day anyway, so why does it matter.
NATIONAL COMMISSION ON TERRORIST ATTACKS UPON THE UNITED STATES Public Hearing; Friday, May 23, 2003, Hart Senate Office Building, Room 216 Washington, DC MR. MINETA: No, I was not. I was made aware of it during the time that the airplane coming into the Pentagon. There was a young man who had come in and said to the vice president, "The plane is 50 miles out. The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down to, "The plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the vice president, "Do the orders still stand?" And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?" Well, at the time I didn't know what all that meant. And -- MR. HAMILTON: The flight you're referring to is the -- MR. MINETA: The flight that came into the Pentagon. MR. HAMILTON: The Pentagon, yeah.
