Thats the point - they had been bombed before so it would be harder to bomb them again

Noone ever thought anyone would have the balls to fly 2 passenger jets into the WTC so they did it

I think superfly_cox has missed the point - they didnt plan the 9/11 attacks, they just let them happen rather than stopping them - instant justification for the war on terror
Here's how it went down:

CIA Man: We've just had an email from Al Qaeda, they say they are going to attack us if we don't stop sending Israel weapons and backing their actions against their Muslim neighbours!

Whitehouse advisor: We don't negotiate with terrorists.[1]  Don't even bother to reply to that nonsense.

CIA Man: Maybe we should warn the public that we have had a credible threat, and to be on the alert?

Whitehouse advisor: We don't negotiate with terrorists, but the the public wouldn't understand if they knew we didn't at least try to bargain them down a bit.  But they'd soon change their tune if a major attack happened....  hmm, this could really pan out for us!

CIA Man: But they might kill thousands, shouldn't we at least put the security forces on super-duper-high alert.

Whitehouse advisor: NO! The public mustn't know we were warned.  They wouldn't understand.  Just act as normal.

CIA Man: Well, I'm sure we can stop it with our normal security measures.

Whitehouse advisor: Dammit, you're right.  A foiled attack will make the public feel safer, and we'll never get to take these scumbags on in their own country.  Move as much of the airforce as you can to Alaska or the south pole or something, and tell the rest we're having training ops that day.  And any actions have to be cleared through Cheney, that'll add at least an extra 20 minutes onto any responses.  That'll definitely improve their chances of getting through.

CIA Man: I don't like the sound of this, it tantamount to high treaso...

Whitehouse advisor: ENOUGH of that talk, Bush has hardly used any of his 'national security assasinations' since he got into office, don't make him waste one on your sorry ass.

CIA Man: Understood.... I'll just start arranging that.... training...

1 There is no way in heaven or hell that a B767 will fly at 600MPH to hit the WTC. Why? it would break up before it can hit the tower it isnt made to fly that fast that low. Need an explanation? Most common passenger liners are capable of speeds close to 900kmph but this is only acheived at high altitudes from 30 000 feet to the hight limit of the airplane. There are two ways you can calculate speed IAS Indicated Air Speed or GS Ground Speed the higher you go the higher your GS (ground speed) will go even if your IAS (Indicated Air Speed) Stays the same. The 767 is unable to go over 350knots of IAS since the Twin Towers were low (comparing to aircraft altitudes) there would be no difference between GS and IAS you will notice this difference get larger and larger once above  about 7000 feet. Which will leave you with a 767 with a possible speed of 350 this could probably be pushed but i wouldnt bet on it. You will see the 767 flies into the building on an angle that is why so much floors were effected and it had to turn in. If this airplane was going over its design limit while turning it would have split into peices while in mid air and never made it to the towers, If the conversion of Knots to Miles Per Hour is 1 Knot=1.152 and the maximal speed would be 350knots that airplane would be travelling at 403 miles per hour MAX.

Although there is a GAP in the 707 theory the twin towers were constructed in the 70's the 707 was created in 1952 and was a 4 engine single story airplane. However the 747 was made in the Late 60's which is a 4 engine two story airplane. Meaning the 707 could not have possibly been the largest airplane of the time. Note the eary 747 was the 747-100 model unlike the ones we fly today which are the 747-400 model. Enough about airplanes time to answer some questions.

How were the explosives planted: A few days before the attacks there were routine evacuations of the building (time enough?)

Why didnt the US find WMD's: If they did find WMD's they would have had basically no reason to stay there longer WMD's was the tactic Bush used as a scare campaign to enter the war.

Your Government did know about the attacks because there were large stock changes a few days before 9/11 including the owner of the WTC's putting a few billions in insurance especially in the case of a terrorist attack. Your government also released some lie's Condolisa Rice had said that they had no idea there was going to be a tarrorist attack on US soil. Dick Cheyney said the oposite. Yet still they decide to go fight a pretend war while airplanes are flown into buildings killing civilians. What was it there was 5 or so airplanes defending the whole of America while everyone else was fighting in a pretend war against the Russians. I do beleive those involved will get whats coming to them.

Answer me this one simple question and it will all become very clear for me.  If the US government was so clever, so devious, so well organized, and so determined as to commit the events of 9/11 themselves then how is it that the same government/forces (that be) were not able to "find" Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq?  Would it have been so difficult to stage a mock discovery of WMD's considering they controlled Iraq and had just publicly staged the most elaborate hoax (9/11) in the history of man kind?  Would have been peanuts in comparision...

For you conspiracy theorists, if you want to take a shot at this question use some intelligence and don't offer silly reasons like "to throw off people about 9/11".  You've already given the US Government alot of credit (for competence) with all the 9/11 conspiracy theories!  So why couldn't they produce some WMD's to get the entire world off of their case?
Well aint u stupid, they already had reason to go into iraq hence they first attacked afghanistan for terrorist attcks, while they were over there they thought, HAY , lets save the fuel of goin back twice and ask the president military action of just cause, so they attcked iraq for the iol resouces nothing else, seens US in running out.......Otherwise how the fuk will the us goverment will get 78 billion dollars just to pay for the war itself...

Watched Loose Change a bit too much? Your arguements are the exact as that stupid fucking movie. Go ahead and believe a movie that uses quotations out of context and completely makes up "facts" pointing to a conspiracy.

Proof explosives DIDN'T bring downt he towers and that they didn't fall at free fall speeds:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid … 1849861778

Do you think that if the building was brought down by demolitions, the core would've came down too? Nope, there is your video PROOF that the core stood for a few seconds after the outside of the building fell over from the millions of tons of weight broke the supports, which were weakened by the jets hitting and the fire buring on it)holding it up.

Also, if demolitions took the buildings down, why would these "squibs" only come out AFTER the building is collapsing? In controlled demolitions, the charges go off first and the building falls. And, about what looks like squibs from demolitions, wouldn't it be more logical to believe that the, lets say 100 million tons, of building collapsing in on itself would eject everything out the sides? Deeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......

Here's a picture you never see in these gay conspiracy videos, damage done to WTC7 after the collapse of WTC1.

Stereotypical idiot ignorant American comment there. I guess that's why Americans when travelling overseas pretend to be Canadians. Too many Americans like you spoiling their image.

The video you showed me doesn't prove or show anything. The video is 1 minute long!!!!!!!!!!! Would I expect the core to collapse if it was professionally demolished? Yes!! Of course!! That's is proof that the towers were demolished. Fire would not have weakened those 47 inner support columns. These were 4'x4' construction grade steel columns. Even if the floor trusses had failed and the outer walls had collapsed (still not physically possible because of all the concrete that was holding up the outer walls which was not weakened by the fire,) the middle of the building would have remained sticking into the air. Perhaps the top part above where the plane smashed could fall off, but the rest of the building's internal columns would have still been left standing if the buildings had collapsed solely due to fire. It is only because explosives were used that the columns were able to collapse. Oh and aenima eyes, the steel columns we're talking about were not cut by the workers. That was why the workers were so astonished by it. Many of them said they had never seen anything like it; there was supposedly no controlled demolition, no explosives, yet the massive steel beams were neatly PRE-cut into convenient 20' lengths, ready to be loaded into a truck. If you don'tbelieve me look it up there are plenty of testinmonies from the cleanup crew at Ground Zero.

The people who do not believe the towers were professionally demolished point to this damage to the corner of building 7 as the "zomg so fucking obvious" reason that building 7 collapsed but they always neglect to mention that the FEMA report does not list this as a possible reason for the collapse of building 7, nor do they mention that FEMA admits they don't have any real reason that could plausibly explain why it fell (because they aren't willing to consider controlled demolition.) They say diesel fuels may have done such and such damage to the building but they admit the possibility that this made the towers collapse is very slim.

This corner damage could not have caused building 7 to collapse because it stood for over three hours after the damage happened. Had the damage been enough to weaken the building sufficiently to initiate total collapse it would have happened right away not slowly. Even FEMA was smart enough to realize this theory did not make any sense and did not even include it in the list of possible explanations for bulidng 7's collapse.

This is an irrelevant argument because the reason why it is significant that the buildings were designed to withstand an impact from a 707 is not because it was the biggest plane at the time, but because the 707 and the 767, the planes that did hit the towers, were virtually identical in terms of weight, wignspan, fuel load (Not fuel capacity, fuel load, as in how much fuel the 767 was carrying on 9/11, not its max capacity,) top speed, etc.

+5,695|6817|132 and Bush

You do realize that both buildings withstood the impact and that is what they were designed to do. When they say withstand impact they mean that the planes would not knock the buildings over when they hit them.. It's the subsequent fires that brought the buildings down. Why doesn't a single demolition expert agree that they were brought down by explosives? The WTC collapse is the world most studied building collapse in history.

The lead structural engineer
The two towers were the first structures outside of the military and nuclear industries designed to resist the impact of a jet airliner, the Boeing 707. It was assumed that the jetliner would be lost in the fog, seeking to land at JFK or at Newark. To the best of our knowledge, little was known about the effects of a fire from such an aircraft, and no designs were prepared for that circumstance. Indeed, at that time, no fireproofing systems were available to control the effects of such fires.

The structures of the buildings were heroic in some ways but less so in others. The buildings survived the impact of the Boeing 767 aircraft, an impact very much greater than had been contemplated in our design (a slow-flying Boeing 707 lost in the fog and seeking a landing field). Therefore, the robustness of the towers was exemplary. At the same time, the fires raging in the inner reaches of the buildings undermined their strength. In time, the unimaginable happened . . .

These charts demonstrate conclusively that we should not and cannot design buildings and structures to resist the impact of these aircraft. Instead, we must concentrate our efforts on keeping aircraft away from our tall buildings, sports stadiums, symbolic buildings, atomic plants, and other potential targets.

Not true, they were designed to withstand a hit from a 707 assuming it was low on fuel and lost in the fog looking to land and  off course..

The lead structural engineer reflects on the rise and fall of the World Trade Center towers.

It appears that about 25,000 people safely exited the buildings, almost all of them from below the impact floors; almost everyone above the impact floors perished, either from the impact and fire or from the subsequent collapse. The structures of the buildings were heroic in some ways but less so in others. The buildings survived the impact of the Boeing 767 aircraft, an impact very much greater than had been contemplated in our design (a slow-flying Boeing 707 lost in the fog and seeking a landing field). Therefore, the robustness of the towers was exemplary. At the same time, the fires raging in the inner reaches of the buildings undermined their strength. In time, the unimaginable happened . . . wounded by the impact of the aircraft and bleeding from the fires, both of the towers of the World Trade Center collapsed.

http://www.nae.edu/nae/bridgecom.nsf/we … enDocument
I can only answer with my previous post:

Frank DeMartini, Head of Construction: "The building was designed to have a fully loaded 707 crash into it. That was the largest plane at the time. I believe that the building probably could sustain multiple impacts of jetliners because this structure is like the mosquito netting on your screen door -- this intense grid -- and the jet plane is just a pencil puncturing that screen netting. It really does nothing to the screen netting."

It's true that the building was not specifically designed to withstand multiple hits, but the man most knowledgeable about how the buildings were built believed they could withstand multiple hits based on the buildings strength and design.
Oh wait there it is whos pulling this out of their ass The building was designed to have a fully loaded 707 crash into it. That was the largest plane at the time. may i remind you again the towers were built in the 70's and the 747 was released in the late 60's and is bigger then a 707.

Now i do support you that the buildings couldnt have been taken down by a 767 but please get your facts correct or we will look like morons. For those insulting Canada fuck you, You bunch of racists just show the world how fucking stupid you are. Oh look at me i look really smart insulting a whole country and saying that they wouldnt be living without us. No you know what without you there wouldnt be any terrorists. Taken from the dictionary Terrorist:a person who terrorizes or frightens others. Wait a minute firing cruise missles at a capital city does not terrorise or frighten others? The US is as bad or worse then what most of the population is lead to beleive are the real terrorist's Hypocrite's go be patriotic elsewhere.
