I am writing a paper for my World Politics class and need to come up with five questions that I would ask Lee Hamilton, who is Chairman of the Department of Homeland Security's "Future of Terrorism" Taskforce.

Anybody have any good ideas? wanna help me out?
 
1. WHAT IS AN PUHLATIPUS DOING IN A LEMON TREEE>\?

2. I LIEK CHEEZ AND CRAKCERSS?

3. WHAT IS A MEXICANJAN DOING IN MYT TEA?

5. GET OFF OF MY HAED SILLY LITTEL KOALA BEAR?
 
How do you justify warrentlessly spying on your own citizens through an unconstitutional act such as the Patriot Act?

Why hasn't the terrorist threat level dropped below yellow since 9/11 but we haven't been attacked again or even had a substantial enough threat to keep it there?

Do you really believe that a few terrorists were able to hijack a plane with only wire cutters?

What do you have to say about the fact that there was a NORAD drill on 9/11 pertaining to the exact same situation that actually happened?

Why did Cheney call off the air force when we found out the planes had gone off course?
 
Oh, I almost forgot,

Why do we as a country spend so much money bettering our military when we could use that money to better education and what do you think that says about us as a society?
 
there was a real threat, i think it was 2 years ago in the summer. remember the liquid bombs?
 
You can only wish you could get as dumb as me cuz every time I'm in the club I get stupid dumb and hyphy.

 
haha...... what???

is that a joke? i'd love to hear you explain how my not wanting the gov't prying into my personal life has anything to do with my being a "commie".
 
You sir are a dumb fuck,

The patriot act does use warrants, it's not warrant less

Terrorists hijacked the planes with box cutters (not wire cutters), and told the crew they were going to land the plane. It was standard policy to do what hijacker's say in order to save as many passengers as possible.

And I think some of you FUCKING IDIOTS FORGOT, Obama bin Laden admitted to 911 many times. Research it.

 
lolz oh ya i forgot about that key communist ideal against spying on the citizens of its nation!!1
 
Its not really that, Im for the most part against the patriot act too, its just I wouldnt be using parts of the constitution as defence for my views if i was a commie.
 
I'm not a commie........

and Camo, please excuse my saying wire instead of box....

Bin Laden was trained and funded by the CIA in the 90's and the bush family has very close ties to his family. who's to say we didn't tell/force him to admit to it or that we dind't fund him? So many laws have been passed since then and so much money has been made by the elites off of these wars since then.

It was a fucking question. Relax. I don't want to hijack this thread just because a bunch of ignorant uninformed kids think I'm an idiot because my opinions break the mainstream opinion. Freedom of speech mother fucker.
 
why are all of you hating on muchomango? hes the only one who has legitimately responded to this thread. i would like to see his questions asked/answered by the department of homeland security. they are valid questions. more so then inquiring about the koala sitting on my head, i already know why hes there!
 
i fail to see the conspiracy theory there. he never associated these random, and rather suspicious activities with anything. he merely questioned some unusual events and circumstances that day
 
How can the most outrageously funded military, with more covert ties and agents in other nations than any other nation before, still not be able to find the one man who masterminded an attack that killed thousands of American citizens. Especially after 4 years. Especially after rooting out Saddam. Why does our government refuse to find this guy.
 
the Bin Laden clan completely disowned Osama and sent him into exile in the 90s, I don't think that ties between the bushes and bin ladens have anything to do with attacks against america. though I don't deny that we did indeed train Osama and many of the militants we are now fighting, and we were in a position to arrest him and stifle the movement way before 9/11. but, our dumb mistakes.
 
you could ask him if he did his own homework in school or if he posted on a forum and asked other people to do it for him
 
1. why did you choose to call the war on terror an "overseas contengincy plan?"

2. why did you choose to call terrorist attacks "a human catastrophe?"

thats all, the rest of my questions are really probably immature and would start a flame war.
 
if you knew anything about the Venus Project you might know that it has absolutely nothing to do with communism. if you don't have anything intelligent to say don't say anything at all.
 
i can answer that one. because "war on terror" is associated with a president that the rest of the world despises us for electing not only once, but twice. id change the name too if i thought it would distance myself from being associated with Bush
 
you are right. i forgot about that. I was just pissed off at how everyone was jumping on my back for asking a few questins that I would like to get cleared up (see! i can admit when i'm wrong unlike some of you who hopelessly argue about nothing in particular).

To those you called me out earlier: yes, I am a so called "conspiracy theorist" but I don't like to call myself that because of the negative connotation that goes along with it. I'd call myself more of a free thinker than a conspiracy theorist. It's not like I go around claiming a reptilian alien species came to earth and planted us here who can shape shift and transport back and forth between the 3rd and 4th dimmentions.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with questioning the actions of your government. In fact, it is a healthy thing to do and our country would not exist if it weren't for people who questinoed authority.

now how about some of you ask some questions and help this kid out with his essay?
 
Trained, no. Mujahedin were trained by Pakistani Intelligence which Bin Laden was a major contributor to in the late 80's during the Jihad against Russia. So Bin Ladens "men" or what would become Al Qaeda were trained by Pakistani Intelligence which was trained by CIA officials. It's a really complicated situation but this is the most simple way to put it.

Funded, ehhhh kind of. Pakistani intelligence funded two man individuals that later split from the Mujahedin. These were Massoud (later to be the Northern Alliance, Taliban enemy) and Hekmatayr (later lost control of Kabul to the Taliban.) We definitely funded the wrong people and gave money to people that would later become part of the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Especially since Al Qaeda is sunni, we funneled money through Pakistan into Afghanistan. We never directly gave money other than one reported meeting of where someone under James Woosley repotedly gave Hekmatyar $400,000 cash. We did however directly have Pakistan intelligence put stinger missles in the hands of Islamic Fundamentalists (the crazy guys that would later adapt to suicide bombing).

Also it is important to remember the scale of Bin Ladens family and their perception of his actions. He is highly outcasted by his family (which has well over 50 brothers and sisters of Bin Laden.)

It's a very complicated situation and we did give money to bad people, but we never actually gave Osama Bin Laden training or money directly, although it is very easy that he could have recieved stinger missles and funds from loopholes in our tribal warfare system, Pakistani Intelligence faulting, etc. I have done a lot of research on this topic and even met a UN correspondent who lived in Afghanistan for 2 years dealing with such issues. There's also a very good book that will explain mostly everything called Ghost Wars that I highly recommend everyone read.
 
I came into this thread hoping for an intelligent and intriguing discussion.

This far surpassed anything I could have hoped for, if I could show my gratitude in another form besides karma I would, but I can't.

 
dude look at his effing signature. anyone that watches/believes/promotes zeitgeist is a fucking idiot. i'm sorry but i started watching that and couldn't get past the first 10 minutes.
there are some people that don't even deserve to live in this country (not saying anyone on here) but if you seriously think that your own government was behind something as horrific as 9/11...wow just wow.
 
very in depth, good, informative post. i knew about the wire transfer and the Pakistani training but the rest of that was news to me.
 
I really didn't mean that as calling you out or anything, it' good to keep an open mind which you obviously have.
 
wait wait wait, so because some people dont blindly believe every piece of bullshit the govt feeds to them, they shouldnt live here? glad to see you REALLY appreciate those american values

i dont know WHO was responsible on 9/11. i honestly dont believe it was some evil Bush plot. i DO think that some of the shit that happened on and around that day doesnt add up, and should be questioned.
 
never said that. but there are some people that i know personally who rant about every single thing...doesn't matter their political affiliation, religion, whatever. they just complain and complain because well, no our country isn't perfect, find me one that is. but like i tell them all the time if you really don't like it here that much and don't appreciate everything that our country provides..then don't live here.
and i do appreciate the values. i'm just an extreme right winger haha so i tend to get a little pissy. sry :[
 
clearly you dont appreciate those values if you really think that because they dont disagree with our country, you should move.

the whole fucking point of our country is protest what you want, complain about what you want, and the government CANT make you move, shut you up, etc.
 
GET OFF OF MY FUCKING BACK

you couldn't get past the first 10 minutes because you probably have the attention span of a dog and believe everything fox news tells you. i'm not pointing fingers at anyone in particular (aside from you calling me and idiot and saying that people who think for themselves deserve to die/not live in the US). i'm merely pointing out discrepancies with he official story that i would like to see addressed.

and Mitch, I was agreeing with you. I know you weren't trying to call me out.
 
I may be talking about something completely unrelated but are you talking about that city thinger being made by Jacque Fresco in Florida?
 
LOUD NOISES!

Wow this is a fun thread to readd

Global +KKKKKKK

Im not even ganna say anything about the goverment or anything cuz ill get destroyed by like 20 people but Help the kid out! and let the fucking kid have his opinions ,
 
that being said, if someone believes everything fox news tells them, isnt it just as bad as you believe everything zietergiest(sp?) tells you? Im not calling you out, or trying to get into a fight, but just putting things into perspective.
