Yes they were looking for factories.. that was the entire point.. Would need more then just a missile or some parts to push a war on a country.
Um, dude. The war actually happened. You do know that? So they obviously didn't require it. You said yourself earlier that they only needed 9/11.
Once in Iraq they wanted any kind of WMD. A few old bits of biological warfare supplies would have done it. Literally a couple of dozen gas canisters would have been seized upon. It might not have been the ideal result but it would have been something. And how hard would that have been to fake?
If you think about it, your position amounts to some guys faking 9/11, then saying they attacked a country because of WMD, getting there and finding none, and not even bothering to stick some tins of cyanide in a shed, which would at least have been something. It's not persuasive.
"Hey Bob, I found a nuke, that's a WMD, surely?"
"Nope, you know the rules Stan, unless it's a factory we are just going back to the American people and pretending to have found nothing."
They needed to scare the masses and just a couple pictures or odd ball parts would not do the trick.
Although it would presumably be an improvement on 'nothing at all'?
I have no problem putting the cia behind these attacks, with help form the fbi and DHS and other gov agencies.
So that's who did it?
Where did I say i didn't know who was behind it? You put those words in my mouth when you used your ridiculous conspiracy breakdown.
Why is it ridiculous? Point to a bit that isn't required for your belief to be correct. If you don't believe an element I've included then fine, feel free to mention it.
Or - radically - you could just tell me what happened and how. Just a precis is fine.
And the difference between a nuke and a regular missile is that it is a NUKE... and there is more going on then just some extra parts in a NUKE.
Like what?
You think you can just take a sidewinder and turn it into a nuke?? And you think any factory can just add those extra parts willy nilly? Our gov needs to get you to make there nukes if you figured out a way to just add some parts to a regular missile to make it a nuke.
A nuclear missile is a missile with a warhead attached. That's all. It's really not particularly complicated. And getting one wouldn't be that hard for the US government and the alphabet boys, would it?
Or would it? You tell me. I'm looking forward to the logical hoops you make yourself jump through with this one.

The USA got caught with its pants down and received a very square kick in the backside, and people have been trying to invent reasons for that not to be the case ever since.
I think that in the most simplistic terms that is the rout of all 9/11 conspiracies, prior to 9/11 there was (or still is) a belief steaming form WWII that America was untouchable, that they were top of the food chain. I think this was a arrogant view that was woven into American society with a "we are the best" mentality that said nobody can best us.
9/11 changed all of that.
9/11 showed America to be weak, so weak that a bunch of guys crawling about caves on the other side of the planet where able to strike at the heart of American economic and military strength. Many Americans quite rightly find this a hard concept to swallow so invent these other reasons to explain the "hidden truth" that it was the Jews, it was their own government or it was a secret cabal of individuals who secretly rule the world and even that it was aliens. This attitude is in my mind one of the biggest drivers behind 9/11 conspiracies some people cannot accept that their beloved nation got hit so hard and so easily because they were weak

Ya i know the war happened.... You love putting words in peoples mouth.... Show me where i said it didn't happen.
I am stating it wouldn't be as easy as you are making it out to fake WMDS in another country...
Can you show me where one person found a nuke but then had it disregarded like "bob" did in your example?
Cause I never said that happened either......
Your crazy example again...
You said all they need to do is drive a missile out into the desert and take a picture and say it is a nuke and that would have proved that the country has and is producing WMDS
The factories would be the producing part... And that was the big no no... Producing is worse then having some on hand. That is what they were looking for, the production and what do you need to produce wmds??
And yes i think the US had either foreknowledge of the attacks and did nothing to stop it which makes them just as involved according to our justice system.
Even more i think the US gov help plan the attack and paved the way up to the morning for the attackers.
Operation Northwoods, yes it was never carried out but just goes to show you that it can be thought of at the highest level.
I can't 100% proof they are of course, but they haven't 100% convinced me they haven't
And can any ole factory make that simple warhead to attach to any missile to make it a nuke? Where are the nuclear warheads made?
Is it just in any ole weapons factory? Last time i checked we have highly specialized factories to add those "extra bits and pieces" Since nuclear energy is very unstable and if it isn't stored correctly it is kinda no bueno.
Is any missile considered an ICBM? Can you fake a ICBM as easily as you have stated? Another thing that we needed to find to prove a nuke threat. Would that be part of the easy fake that US could have done?
And to be honest IDK why they didn't fake something, probably means they tried and failed. Because they absolutely should have since it made the Bush admin look retarded when they had to admit Iraq never had WMDs
Once we got there the WMD thing was just a reason to stay longer and keep snooping around more
You logic that since they didn't fake WMDs in Iraq then there is no way they fake 911 is jumping through logical hoop at its finest btw.
LOL and my position is that they faked 911 to use the WMD excuse? Are we in the same thread?
My position is they faked 911 to get the war started... And that the wmds was bologna...and used to just occupy for longer and raid anything they wanted in the "search" for WMDs... no need to fake what you only have to "assume based off intel" they have. Your stating it would have been easier to fake the discovery of the WMDs to spark the war then the false flag of 911.

What your offering is an assumption and not a real argument or refutation of the evidence in relation to the 9/11 event. It's a supposition.
You don't know the reasoning, and it has nothing to do with 9/11 based on what you think certain people should and should not have done.
Neither is incredulity an argument.
Give it up, and stop guarding and protecting the crime of the century, for the sake of the victims one and all.
If you think about it, your position amounts to some guys faking 9/11, then saying they attacked a country because of WMD, getting there and finding none, and not even bothering to stick some tins of cyanide in a shed, which would at least have been something. It's not persuasive.

Me stating they needed more then missile to go to war isn't saying it didn't happen... not sure why that was the quote you chose..
And I never said if they found a nuke that they wouldn't have reported it... Again you made that scenario and it doesn't hold any weight to the conversation

Okay. I'm sure we can agree to disagree. But I wouldn't be surprised that yours remains a somewhat fringe view, put it that way.

where it is only US agencies involved and just the tops of those

Yes there would be "top people" on said ship. Captains of the ship and commander of the fleet... Again already under US orders to do what they are told. Plenty of war games going on that day with just as much confusion as to what was really going on. Tell a ship it is all part of the game and a missile can easily be launched with only key personal knowing where that final destination will be. Or tell them they are just using the real cords for the pentagon for "show"...
Hypothetical situation at that.
You didn't really address though how you have no problem with the idea of our government framing another country with WMDs and actually think it wouldn't be that difficult, 5 easy steps actually.
But the idea of the same people shooting a missile that they already have at a building eludes you?
I can't wait for you to quote one line of this post and have a one liner response with a second line phrase of disbelieve

NAM,
I am glad we still have some friends....especially to the north.
I think I can speak for many many Americans that your love and friendship does not go unnoticed.
As you clearly see....we are in a hogs mess down here and God is not on the forefront of many Americans concerns....when we need him the most.
Thanks again for all the great posts today.....
ok....brown nosing is over...but no less from the heart

9/11 is the rule. Not the exception to the rule.
The USA got caught with its pants down and received a very square kick in the backside, and people have been trying to invent reasons for that not to be the case ever since.
Why do I say that? Because people have/had a belief about the USA that it was untouchable and it is actually easier for them to believe it was an inside job than to accept that the real world bites sometimes and maybe they're not as popular and/or safe as they've been led to believe they are.
That's the biggest 9/11 anomaly to me.

And then the Pentagon gets hit that day. Yep, they'd definitely not say anything. They are "under orders" after all.

I would really like to see how just some canastiers would be proving that iraq has and is producing WMDs....I thought they just needed a missile with extra parts?
You five step WMD discovery sounds like it was straight out of a movie but I guess it doesn't matter when it is you saying it.
Loose lips sink ships, they all have heard that a thousand times, they were already trying to gear up for war running plenty of exercises in that time period, militray is very good at making sure you don't talk about things you are not suppose too.
I am not sure how familiar you are with UCMJ, worse then our penal system. More catch all articles in there that they can apply to just about anything that carry heavy penalties. You can be charged with going to wiki leaks.... You think if someone figured out that the gov had any part of 911 that was part of the military would say anything?
At that point they would be realized they had a hand in the deaths of almost 3000 people, good incentive to keep your mouth shut....
911 doesn't have a good track record of whistle blowers you know, so not sure how "happy" every one in your sweet break down. combine the two half filled planes that were majority gov workers already and it is only 1 plane of passengers... CIA trained hijackers, don't need fake ones...
If they were cell calls then they are fake, it was not possible then to make those calls in an airplane...
Never said BBC was in on it, even though it is quite strange that they announce that 7 is down when it is in the picture behind them.
Why would the pentagon staff need to be in on it? No one was really in the section that was hit...
Just need to plant the dna/evidence, why would the doc have to be in on it?
What fire chief was in on it? I don't think any PD or FD was "in" on it...

Either would do. And once again, you keep pretending that they had to be "producing" them. That's not the case.
You five step WMD discovery sounds like it was straight out of a movie but I guess it doesn't matter when it is you saying it.
True. But it only has five steps.
And they didn't actually do it. That's kind of the point.
Loose lips sink ships, they all have heard that a thousand times, they were already trying to gear up for war running plenty of exercises in that time period, militray is very good at making sure you don't talk about things you are not suppose too.

You can be charged with going to wiki leaks.... You think if someone figured out that the gov had any part of 911 that was part of the military would say anything?
It's possible you could keep it secret. I think in practice it's amazingly unlikely that nobody would talk. And wikileaks/Snowden are good examples. They talked. And not even about something as extraordinary as 9/11.
I'm glad you now accept that it doesn't just take a couple of generals to launch a missile though.
At that point they would be realized they had a hand in the deaths of almost 3000 people, good incentive to keep your mouth shut....
Or to talk.
911 doesn't have a good track record of whistle blowers you know, so not sure how "happy" every one in your sweet break down. combine the two half filled planes that were majority gov workers already and it is only 1 plane of passengers... CIA trained hijackers, don't need fake ones...
Where would they get guys prepared to kill themselves so that America can steal some oil?
And two half full planes still have to be made to disappear, and all their passengers killed or rehomed. Just take a moment to think how many people would be required to handle that. And the sheer logistics involved.
If they were cell calls then they are fake, it was not possible then to make those calls in an airplane...
Which would be very difficult. And require yet more people.
Never said BBC was in on it, even though it is quite strange that they announce that 7 is down when it is in the picture behind them.
If it's strange in the sense that they know it's going to fall they must be in on it. Add another dozen (minimum) to the list.
Why would the pentagon staff need to be in on it? No one was really in the section that was hit...
Tell that to the families of the 125 people who died.
You suggested that they helped plant plane parts. In broad daylight in front of one of the world's busiest roads.
Just need to plant the dna/evidence, why would the doc have to be in on it?
How would you do that? Chop the arm of someone you're implicating and leave it in the rubble? Would that fool seasoned crash investigators and DNA gathering scientists?
You would need the crash investigation team in on it at least as they would obviously recognise that no plane hit the building.
What fire chief was in on it? I don't think any PD or FD was "in" on it...
A
They must be, because they support the OS with regard to Building Seven and explicitly say they feared it would collapse beforehand. For your story to be true they would have to be lying. And thus complicit.

1 Conspirators buy missile and launcher of some kind (Never said it was used, not sure why your brought it up)
But it wouldn't be hard at all for CIA,FBI,DHS to get a missile and launcher
2 Conspirators find safe, secret place for launcher and keep it there ( see 1)
What are these missiles in regards too? 93,77 the towers, can you be specific?
3 Conspirators gain access to WTC and plant hundreds of explosives
Look up turner construction, good ole bush family tires there, just so happen to do some work on the exacty floors hit. Also some very extensive elevator work before the attacks
4 Conspirators infiltrate jihadi groups and over the course of presumably years encourage them to consider 9/11, train jihadis
We funded AQ not that long ago... Think we still have some connections there?
5 Conspirators infiltrate army to organise exercises on the same day as false flag
In no way was that conspirators... There was war games that day... Planned by OUR military and not suspended until 93 hits the ground....
6 Conspirators infiltrate fire service to persuade fire chiefs to lie about Building Seven
That is another crazy claim... That they persuaded the fire cheif? When did I say that happened?
7 Conspirators set in motion hijackings and fire missile at Pentagon
Seems like this is just a catch all step... And the pentagon wasn't hit till much later that day after they started, where does that fire missile relate to the set in motion of hijackings?
8 Conspirators arrange for faked cell phone calls, either via voice morphing or by landing planes and forcing passengers to fake 'calls' - the latter of which obviously creates another huge raft of practical problems
Calls can't be made over 8000 feet, especially going 500 mph, they just recently got the specialized antennas for planes to allow phone calls.
9 Conspirators dispose of Flight 77 and passengers/crew in unspecified manner. Perhaps evading all air traffic control to blow it up over the sea (obviously involving operatives somehow planting a bomb on the plane), or force landing it, killing everyone and disposing of the plane
What was the video of the Cleveland airport from that day of a plane landing and unloading all its passengers..
Why would a bomb be needed? Is that the ONLY way, or just the craziest you could think of then.
10 Conspirators dismantle missile launch site in secret
You know ships can launch missiles right? Do you need to dismantle a ship?
11 Conspirators plant plane debris at Pentagon
Show me the video of the plane hitting or a picture of it, and I won't think this happened. And ill say the pentagon placed the debris there, makes it easier then "conspirators"
12 Conspirators recruit journalists and editors at news outlets to report 'story'. Most toe the line but BBC accidentally report Bldg 7 early. Oops!
Why would they need to recruit journalist and editors? The investigators are the ones that tie and un tie the medias hands on what can be reported... Would have nothing to conspirators. And did bbc not report 7 to early?? I never made mention to that either but it is a little weird, seeing as how the building was in the shot when they reported it
13 Conspirators infiltrate NIST and other authorities so that reports ignore or cover up the conspiracy
NIST did a FINE job of covering everything up, I in no way ever said NIST was infiltrated.
Why does there have to be over 1000 involved? Just because a department was around that day doesn't mean they knew about it...
It would have been a very need to know project, you think 1000 people needed to know everything?
In no way did I ever say it was absurd to say they didn't try an fake WMD's in iraq, I think they did. Obviously they failed or didn't try it. The WMD's was just the cherry on top, they didn't need them.
The US gov had FAR more reasons to fake 911 then the WMDS in iraq and that is why there is no conspiracy surrounding the WMDs, it was a wild goose chase from day one and they didn't care about catching it.
Precis of what happened that day?
2 planes got flown into towers and then those towers were bought down by explosives
A third tower that did not get hit by a plane is brought down with explosives
A cruise missile,fired form a ship, of some sorts, hits the pentagon and random plane parts placed inside the pentagon are scattered in the lawn. We are led to believe that a novice pilot made a high speed corkscrew turn that he has to come out of a low alt and relocate the target that is the pentagon and not hit the ground before he hits the building
Do a fly over shanksville with a UAV that crashes at the "site" which already had the marks that are suppose to be the wings and tail there and we get told a 757 was buried in an old mine shaft after hitting the ground inverted at a 40 degree angle. Scrap yard right down the street from site. Nothing over the size of a phone book released for 5 years.
And in all the chaos and destruction that day, key pieces of evidence needed to convict some one of a crime, or place a said plane where it is said to have been, when just about everything else is destroyed is found. Massive steel parts of planes are gone and almost 600 tons of aluminum and steel are brought to less then phone book size pieces of debris but the investigation finds what it needs to make this all fit oh so nicely.
Dumb luck i guess
