Yes. We've said many times that: there is no "official" theory because the evidence that informs us of what happened on 9/11 comes from thousands of independent sources.

ALL of that evidence supports the conclusion that Al Qaeda was behind 9/11. That some think the government was behind 9/11 requires that they refute that evidence.

We're still waiting.

Please present your evidence that supports al Qaeda was behind the 9/11 attacks. I haven't found anything substantial in the last 7 years that I've been looking.

"ALL of that evidence supports the conclusion that Al Qaeda was behind 9/11. That some think the government was behind 9/11 requires that they refute that evidence."

It's never some, or a lot of evidence.

When defending the official Story, the false skeptics betray their lack of objectivity
by using "ALL".

At best, the evidence is sketchy.

Self proclaimed experts like Rohan Gunaratn make their living perpetuating a belief
in a highly sophisticated terrorist network labeled Al Qaeda, with Osama Bin Laden charged
as it's supreme leader.

I find it difficult to trust people who make their living by promoting beliefs that fit so handily
with those in power, people who are profiting from the massive security industry created by a
belief in a worldwide terrorist organization.

In the 7+ years since 9/11, this powerful, sophisticated terrorist network, hasn't done so
much as start an outhouse fire in the U.S., in spite of all the security loopholes that still
exist.

Without the Al Qaeda dragon, power seekers would be confined to more subtle methods
of responding to terrorist incidents.

Methods which preclude whole country invasions.

Since the 9/11 Truth Movement has been wholly unable to refute the evidence, you are most welcome to keep trying.

What we real skeptics ask of you is to demonstrate what you haven't, starting with demonstrating that the US Government is even a suspect. Since you haven't, how do you expect to get even a new investigation that you claim you want?

ALL of that evidence supports the conclusion that Al Qaeda was behind 9/11.

http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/16/inv.binladen.denial/
CNN
 
In a statement issued to the Arabic satellite channel Al Jazeera, based in Qatar, bin Laden said, "The U.S. government has consistently blamed me for being behind every occasion its enemies attack it.

"I would like to assure the world that I did not plan the recent attacks, which seems to have been planned by people for personal reasons," bin Laden's statement said.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article13664.htm
Muckraker Report
 
Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.” .....

...Tomb continued, “The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice than decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, Bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connected Bin Laden to 9/11.

Dick Cheney....."We've never made the case, or argued the case that somehow Osama bin Laden was directly involved in 9/11. That evidence has never been forthcoming.".....[/b]


Is Osama guilty then until proven innocent?? :ouch: lol

You must have loads of evidence from all your sources that the GOP and FBI don't have access to hey Albion? lol

when you say "thousands of independent sources" are you referring to bush's hand picked 9/11 commission which tried to connect saddam to 9/11 along with zelikow having outlined the entire report prior to the investigation?

are you talking about all those "thousands of independent sources" like the epa which allowed the bush administration to overwrite their findings on the air quality on ground zero?

or how about the government funded nist "thousands of independent sources" who received all their funds from the criminals? how do you know for a fact the bush white house didn't overwrite their findings like they did to the epa?

still waiting?

lol

are you stuck in time?

you're movement is soooooo fucking pathetic it now insists there isn't an official story. how about that one? you have to deny the story even exists because it's been picked apart and debunked so many times.

now there's no 9/11 commission, no nist reports, no epa reports, nothing. none of it exists. this is the new belief of the conspiracy theorists.

you guys are a fucking joke.

That's not correct.

Zelikow (along with CIA's John Deutch) outlined the 9/11 commission report's findings prior to 911 itself.

CFR document 1998:

If the official evidence is not solid, in your opinion, how would you describe the truthers' evidence? I don't understand how you can claim that the official evidence doesn't prove anything, when the truthers haven't shown any proof of their claims. Do you have proof of a flyover? Can you show that the flyover is possible to fool anyone? Do you have any proof that anyone planted evidence at the pentagon? Do you have any proof that the plane debris was placed on the lawn after the explosion. Do you have any proof that Lloyd is intentionally lying to cover up for the gov? Do you have any proof as to what the damage should be when a 757 hits the pentagon at 500mph? Do you have any proof that the light poles were staged? Proof means you can show with evidence that something happened. It doesn't mean that you have a feeling or that something doesn't look right to you. The authorities and witnesses have shown with more than enough evidence what happened at the pentagon.

I just want proof of a plane hitting the Pentagon. Seems to me (and any other logical human being) that they could very easily share the tapes from any of the over 100 security cameras at the facility.

How could all that independent evidence starting on the morning of 9/11/2001 come from the 9/11 Commission that didn't even exist? How is that physically possible, Dom?

What do you think the 9/11 Commission, NIST, FEMA, ASCE, etc. relied on?

That is a false argument. You have never been privy to all of the evidence in any investigation. Your argument is that since you didn't watch the DNA evidence collected and analyzed first hand, it doesn't exist. You know you never were in a position to see that happen. None of us ever expect to be in that position. By your logic nothing ever happens unless there is a video, or you personally witness every single aspect of the investigation. You have seen a video released, by the gov, that clearly shows a plane crashing into the pentagon. It shows no flyover and so you have to try and refute it. Your way of refuting it is to simply say it was faked. You have not proved that it was faked. Even if you saw a video, you would still find an excuse to not believe your own eyes. You have an agenda and it is not finding the truth.

It may not be clear to you, but it is to me. You can see the plane. It is not horizontal to the camera , because the plane was traveling and hit at an angle. You will not see the entire length of the fuselage. It is almost as if it is coming toward you but off to the side. I am an aircraft buff and I can clearly see it.

Because there would be less of the plane to view if it was traveling at an angle?

I'm sorry, your logic is flawed.

If the plane were traveling at an angle that would leave more visual reference for the eye. Instead of a tube (fuselage) you would also see the slight tilt and underside of the wing. Unless you are trying to say that it was at the opposite angle of what I am visioning. In which case, there would be tears in the surely moist, well watered lawn.

EDIT: Regardless. Please, show me the plane you see. Circle it in crayon if you must.

Right there, folks, in black and white is the blue-print of the government loyalist tactic for disposing of the 9/11 truth movement. Read it carefully and understand it.

a) They claim there is no "official" theory

b) They claim the evidence that informs them about 9/11 comes from "thousands" of "independent sources"

c) They claim the sum total of ALL that "evidence" supports the conclusion that Al Qaeda (not defined) was "behind" 9/11

d) They claim that we have to refute "their" evidence as "outlined" above

and

e) since we have not (according to them) our views are bogus.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the outline, the "talking points" from which the government loyalist operates. Note how tightly knit it is, how each point neatly segues into the next, how it establishes the 'rules of the game' they challenge us to play, without putting forward ONE piece of information or evidence whose "independent source" can be questioned or truth value can be analyzed or tested.

You can not win this game. They say "there is no "official" theory". So there is nothing to be proven or disproved. They say the evidence that informs them comes from thousands of "independent" sources, not just the government, and it is ALL THAT evidence which supports their "conclusion" that Al Qaeda was behind 9/11. They want us to refute ALL THAT evidence, NOT evidence derived from government sources.

How interesting. How very, very interesting.

If only it were that simple - proof AQ was behind the attacks (besides confessions and admissions in public). But that is not where it ends. Its not even where it begins. First you have to "prove" the planes existed, then you have to "prove" the planes took off, then you have to "prove" there were people on board, then you have to "prove" they hit the buildings, ground, etc.

Then it gets better.

Then you have to "prove" nobody in the government was lying, then you have to "prove" that there were no explosives in the buildings, then you have to "prove" no laser beams were used to bring down the buildings, etc. etc. etc.

I beg to disagree with the poster above, there is an official theory, supported by evidence in trial. That does not include every youtube video, every newspaper article, every magazine article or every book. Read the trial transcripts for the "official theory".
