If 9/11 was a terrorist operation, wouldn't they have attacked

[LiberalCat]

again before now?

Since it was a one-time attack and the BFEE were the main beneficiaries, it seems doubtful that it was carried out by a formidable world-wide terrorist organization.

Why would they not have attacked again?

1. Just wait a few more days........

2. they will if you keep bringing up the topic

now back to your miserable life :evilgrin:

3. I have been asking the same question for years, but nobody

seems to think it's important. If they really wanted to bring us down, a series of smaller, sustained attacks every few months could have probably done the trick by now. And wouldn't they want to get rid of the rich, greedy, oil mongers? They could have done that too, but so far, nothing.

Which makes me think that the only terrorists we need to worry about are at the highest levels of the U.S. Government.

4. Disinformation.

5. It WAS a terrorist operation, done by the terrorists in the WH

Look around you...isn't it obvious what they are capable of?

6. It's obvious to me.

I'm just questioning those people who believe your comment is a conspiracy theory. A BFEE conspiracy is the only logical answer. If someone believes in a non-American terrorist conspiracy, please answer my question in the original post.

7. LIHOP at the very least, with MIHOP a distinct possibility...

I'm about to read Mike Ruppert's "Crossing the Rubicon", which looks to be the definitive book on the subject. Yes, the BFEE / PNAC / Carlye Group and their allies in the intelligence agencies all benefited enormously from 9-11, and therefore must be the prime suspects.

8. It's very obvious

The only people that would deny it are the ones that will not look at all the clues that are out there.But ever since they made logic illegal even smart folks are scared to break "the law".Like the fact that there was a simulation of high jacked planes being flown into the twin towers and the pentagon happening at the EXACT same time as the attacks happened,and that had nothing to do with the stand down of jet planes that morning?Better a :tinfoilhat: than a tinfoil mind.

and I approve of attacks
of self-righteousness.

9. It was not a one time attack

Sept 11 was a real doozy, and on our own soil, but the attack on the Towers in 1993, and the bombing of the Cole and the African embassies were all Al Qaeda operations.

Al Qaeda puts forth a dramatic attack every few years. Not often. That has been their pattern -- not sustained small attacks.

However, bin Laden has said he will attack on US soil again. He is a man of his word. What he wants to achieve is to draw the US deeper into a quagmire -- ironically, the plan for regional or world war is shared by both the NeoCons and OBL! Al Qaeda is extremely frugal -- what we spend to bomb one wedding party costs more than it took them to take down the two towers.

They choose their targets and the timing of their operations very carefully. They don't move until everything is in place. Not reckless, like Bush.

The worst part of all of this is that Bush's wacko invasion of Iraq, and tacit support for Israeli violence against Palestinians (after telling Arab American in 2000 he would stand up for them, in his first Cabinet meeting, he said he thought it was time for the US to pull back from I/P and allow Israel to prevail....) has turned not only growing numbers of Arabs, and Muslims, against our country, but Europeans and Africans and Asians and Canadians and South Americans and probably even the good peoples of Greenland and Anarctica, against us. Remember those tears shed for us, globally, over that terrible day? I think Bush's actions since then have hardened people's hearts against us, and we will never have that sympathy again. It grieves me.

10. Politely put this topic

This topic drives me nuts. Not because it isn't a valid question but because we shouldn't have to deal with the question.

During this post election period as MSM has barely reported, let alone investigated the troubling irregularities their big failure on who did/knew about the terrorist attacks ahead of time really comes to mind. I am angry-what the hell are they there for? Blather?

OK there is some question about the buildings, the plane, the response and so on. Maybe they can't find the facts.

But there is an area where there is no question-the financial irregularities in the days/hours before the plane hit. I first heard about it on all the networks. I was happy and not too concerned when we didn't get more answers right away, surely they were using them to prove to the world who was responsible or abetted or covered.

But NOTHING! A vagues "Oh within normal fluctuations." Not close, not possible. There is just so much that is so clear. The extremely heavy volume of "put options"only on companies and airlines about to be affected by the terrorism, 5 year bonds and more. The credit card transactions in final hours that would go to the hard drives in the buildings about to be ruined ended up being found, the 40+ hard drives found in good shape and almost all info retrieved.

That was prior to me being prone to the deep doubts I have now and I just waited...But I am just angry now. That was billions in profit, we were warned by countries all over the world before the attack of the suspicious pattern...And whoever did that trading KNEW we were about to be attacked and how (just involved airline stocks affected)...and going further they knew the damage would not be minor. All the stock of companies in that building experienced the same wild spike.

We shut every Muslim charity, attack countries cause it's a post 9-11 world, gotta be safe. HELLO DUDES-tell us who those people were. If it was Osama, Iraq and Iran you bet we'd have heard it. Who was it? We have the right to know. The media first informed us, they certainly know...but it is not worth following up on? Not a big deal?

Why? Because we are too dumb to understand financial irregularities and numbers and the administration says not to worry? Like now with the election? If they were...oh having sex while trading or beating each other up in a made for TV way then would they follow up on these things? Cause heck...this is just telling us who was in on 9/11, our safety and oh our right to chose our leaders, our democracy.

Do I sound irritated? I am furious and baffled, odd combination.
So I don't know who was responsible but I should not have to guess. They owe us the simple truth. I don't get it.
I did not read 9/11 report findings...if it is all explained in there, oops, never mind and please let me know.

Here is one of so many articles you could google, but a pretty good one. I was going to copy more bits of it but there is too much there.

According to Phil Erlanger, a former Senior Technical Analyst with Fidelity , and founder of a Florida firm that tracks short selling and options trading, insiders made off with billions (not mere millions) in profits by betting on the fall of stocks they knew would tumble in the aftermath of the WTC and Pentagon attacks. <http://www.erlangersqueezeplay.com > Andreas von Bulow, a former member of the German Parliament, once responsible for the oversight of the German secret services, estimated that profits by insider traders were $15 billion. CBS offered a far more conservative figure when it reported (Sept 26) that "at least seven countries are dissecting suspicious trades that may have netted more than $100 million in profits."

Suspicious trading was first identified by Japanese authorities. But soon concerns were raised and a pattern could be discerned in countries around the world including Singapore, Hong Kong, Italy, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Germany and Canada. Jonathan Winer, an ABC News Consultant said "it's absolutely unprecedented to see cases of insider trading covering the entire world from Japan to the US to North America to Europe." Investigators were soon hot on the trail on a matter of obvious national security to many nations
