I think it's the perfect time to revisit this thread, what with Obama on the seat. What's the status of the US' war on terrorism?

9/11 the inside job theory to kick it all off doesn't look like such a daft proposition with benefit of hind sight.
9/11 should never have happened.
I don't think 9/11 was about iraq, because, why did they fake saudi passports if the plan was to invade iraq? they could have just put iraq suspects as patsys.
It doesn't matter how many times you point out the massive holes in their argument, they'll just churn out the same old same old conspiracy crap.
And conspiracy theory, like religion, is constructed such that it can neither be proved or disproved.
All they need do is repeat the message often enough and eventually people will believe it, Atilla! over to you :cheesy:

When will our cheating lying politicians talents ever end???
Never is the answer to that.
But having said that, consider the alternatives
1. The military
Hopelessly incompetent, violent and corrupt
2. Some dictator
Well Adolf and Joe Stalin should put anyone off that
3. Theocracy
Religious nuts like the taliban ? No thanks
4 ????????????????????
Conclusion
politicians are probably the least awful of the lot.
Doesn't say much for the human race in particular does it ?

I wasn't referring to ending democracy Pat. More case of reform - perhaps this includes the judicial process so that justice and transparency can be enabled and does not allow politiicians and other twits to be immune from prosecution.

Well I suppose sooner or later you were gonna get something right.
Hey Atilla!
You forgot to post up the picture of that hooded Iraqi prisoner standing on a box with electrodes on his hands. It must be on this thread dozens of times, shouldn't be hard to find.
Or how about a link to a vid of gun camera footage. You know the one I mean, a group of distant human figures in the cross hairs of some hot shot American pilot?

Apparently US was planning regime change since 1998.

What's past is past, IMO. We were wrong to go into Iraq. We were wrong to elect those who took us into Iraq, in the first place. I am not in favour of putting our leaders on trial for war crimes. If others can do it, let them. We could, in our case, warn Blair that, if he goes abroad, he faces that risk.
I think that we have to defend our own in these cases. We put our enemies leaders on trial--not our own. That would be a step too far for us.
If Blair is persecuted too much, the next PM in a crisis could be a Chamberlain.
Blair should at least give the money he gets from the USA ( JP Morgan ) to the Army families of dead and injured servicemen. The other big payout he gets from a Swiss bank - that also. He sold Britain out and dragged Europe into the Middle East disaster too, for a large payout from a grateful USA. And while they are at it forfeit his pension too.
I bet they never ask Blair about the cushy job and kick-back !! Or tie down Mr. teflon man !!
I think there is little doubt that the Neocons and PNAC were planning regime change for quite a while before 9/11. Possibly that planning extended further than that select little group of warmongers.
However there is no logical connection between that and the assertion that 9/11 was an inside job. An infinitely more likely scenario is that this bunch exploited 9/11 for their own purposes.
In calling for the heads of those responsible for the war on Iraq, there is no requirement that 9/11 be an inside job. I do not think it was an inside job, but I still think Bush, Blair and the rest of them should be tried for war crimes. I'm sure many people are of a similar view.
All this conspiracy stuff ends up in a mismash with anti AGW, "they're trying to kill us with vaccines" and whatever the conspiracy of the day is, on the road to a "new World Order" of communist world government. It is tripe and a disservice to anybody trying to understand what is going on in the world.
Sometimes, sticking to the facts is a very good policy.
