Bill Clinton Undeterred By 9/11 Hecklers

Share

January 31, 2008 7:43 AM

ABC News' Sarah Amos Reports: Former President Bill Clinton took the phrase "on-message" to a new level in Denver yesterday, when hecklers began shouting about how September 11th was a conspiracy theory that needed further investigation.

Clinton had just begun his speech to the crowd, when a man towards the front of the crowd began shouting about re-opening the 9/11 investigation and the war in Iraq. 

Watch the VIDEO HERE.

When the crowd tried to boo the man into silence, Clinton continued: "Let him talk."

The heckler's exact wording wasn't quite audible from the press risers, but the tone was apparent to everyone in the arena, including Clinton. 

“Are you one of those it was an inside job guys?" the former president asked. Continuing, "Hillary agrees we should end the war, but we have heard from you now, now you hear from me.  I let you be rude and interrupt me screaming at the top of your lungs. Nine-eleven was NOT an inside job, it was an Osama Bin Laden job with 19 people from Saudi Arabia, they murdered 3000 Americans and others foreigners including Muslims and we look like idiots, that the people who murdered our fellow citizens did it, when they are continuing to murder other people around the world.  So we heard from you, you go away," Clinton said to the cheering crowd.

(NOTE: Former President Bill Clinton made a mistake when he cited the nationalities of the 9/11 hijackers. In fact, 15 out of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.)

Undeterred, the heckler and his 9/11-sign waving cohorts started up a few minutes later, and Clinton decided to use this opportunity to promote his wife's record in the Senate.

"One of the reasons you ought to be for Hillary for President, since this has been brought up, is that she helped pass bi-partisan legislation in the Senate to help take care of all those firefighters and police officers who got sick because of 9/11.  You talk to the victims of 9/11, the people who had a dozen surgeries just so that they could go back and their bodies could work again, and you ask them if they think it was an inside job, or whether they are glad they had a Senator like Hillary Clinton who gave them a chance to they could stand up stand start their lives over again," responded Clinton.   

Turns out those were the magic words to finally silence heckler number one.  He silently stormed out of the arena and Clinton, un-rattled, breezed right past the rough start, and delivered an energized speech, selling his wife to the people of Denver. 

A crowd of over four thousand braved an evening deluge of snow to hear Clinton's speech at Denver University's Magness arena.  While it was a far cry from the 18,000 people who gathered at the same venue earlier in the day to hear Democratic candidate Barack Obama, the energized crowd was excited to hear Clinton speak.

Clinton made only brief remarks, a departure from his more relaxed town-hall meeting style of campaign stops that were the norm in all four of the early primary states.  He spoke for under 40 minutes, hitting the highlights of Hillary’s platforms on education, healthcare and the war in Iraq. 

Of course, a good heckler loves to have the last word and tonight was no different.  Just when the crowd had finally forgotten the earlier incident and Clinton was hitting what he called "the important reason why people should vote for Hillary," a shout was heard from the last of the 9/11 sign holders.

"How about the real investigation into 9/11?"

Clinton, clearly sick of the entire conversation exchange, "We've heard that, we heard you the first ten times." And with that the former President ended the discussion for good.

How about letting Osama bin Laden get out of Africa? This after he was offered up to America on a plate bubba bill?

Posted by: RobertHenry | Jan 31, 2008 8:28:57 AM

I don't know what changed but Sen. Obama and his campaign has taken a real nasty turn.

Let's get back to talking about Health Care and the Economy - not the negative attacks that I heard from him at his Denver event.

Posted by: Democrat | Jan 31, 2008 9:46:19 AM

How is this heckler's question any different from Michael Moore's questions in his movie Farenheit 911? They're not. Hundreds of millions of people went to see Moore's questions about 911, and hundreds of millions (including Osama Bin Laden per his video messages) got copies of the DVD. Why? Because people don't want to face the harsh reality that is the reason for the 911 attacks, the reason for Al Queda's rebirth in 12/92, and the reason why Osama Bin Laden went from average ranting Islamic extremist to someone out to kill Americans.

Obama's negative, really. Apparently you heard nothing of all the race baiting in SC. But okay. Everybody has a right to escape reality every now and then.

Posted by: fraud '08 | Jan 31, 2008 9:52:44 AM

The 9/11 "truthers" are lunatics and anarchists, and they deserve to be ridiculed. But Bill Clinton, who refused to take Osama bin Laden from the Sudanese when he had the chance, and failed to take him out when he had the chance later on, bears a LOT of responsibility for 9/11.

Nice of Billy Jeff to finally speak the truth. Its such a rare occasion that he does that.

Posted by: RC | Jan 31, 2008 10:08:08 AM

oh but now we have a 1987 story about Hillary and Wal-Mart.

Where is the 2007 story about Michelle Obama and Treehouse/Wal-Mart?

And now to the excuses Bush gives for 9/11.

If Osama got out of Africa, he was given a red carpet entrance by Bush.

It was his watch. Let's remember it was also Rudy's watch. If Hillary had been the mayor of N.Y. all we would have heard about was her imcompetance and lack of judgement in protecting our great city. But it was Rudy, and he's a superhero, not responsible for policing his own city?

And Bush was only in office a short time. He can't be held responsible. Oh really? Not ready to be President on day one Porgy?

If it takes more than 10 months to be prepared as President, then why not have left someone else in there until Bush was ready.

Iraq was about daddy, but we had to have 3,942 people die to satisfy an old family feud.

And let's not forget - the U.S. has to TELL the world we are the only remaining superpower on earth.

Well usually, if you ARE a superpower, your power speaks for itself.

It doesn't need a cheerleader to remind the world who's winning the game.

The enemy of Islam they say is Israel. The enemy of Osama is Israel he says.
The enemy of the Palestinians is Israel, they say.
They enemy of Al Qaida is Israel so they say.

So who did they attack? Us. Not their real enemy. And you want to know why? Because the fundamentalist world would not have been around to gloat over 9/11.

It would be 9/12 that the world remembered, when Israel kicked the holy living hell out of most of the Mindless East, without permission from us, or Europe or the U.N. THAT is why WE were bombed and Israel was NOT.
Israel would have put the major points of this war to rest in about a day. Yeah, they have suicide bombers but they don't have their jets hijacked into their buildings. They don't have their brave soldiers fighting the wrong battle out of revenge concerning a family feud and being sent home without care or concern.

And all we hear about is Clinton. He is STILL to blame for Bush's absolute lack of know-how. If Bush had a brain cell it would die from lonliness.

but you all are talking about the Clinton years. Hmmmmm . . .

Cigars.
Sperm on a dress.
Balanced Budget.
Massive SURPLUS.
Low unemployment, higher wages, low gas prices, affordable utilities.

That was also Clinton's legacy, but we have all you toilet-talking, meth and h00ker using reverend hypocrits forgetting your own truths. Newtie Gingrich was scr3wing HIS own intern while he spoke in the halls of congress about impeaching someone who had an intern.

Ronald Regan is Jesus but he hooked up with Nancy while cheating on his wife and his children, but he is still Jesus.

Now we have a disgustingly poor world image, higher unemployment, a dollar lower than CANADA?, gas prices through the roof, utilities through the roof, no credit, falling home values, falling bridges, torturing people without a trial, veternas hospitals in disgusting filth, veterans pay at an all time low, a trade imbalance that could sink America, poison pet food and poison toys unregulated, China has enough of our debt to send us back into the Dark Ages.

CEOs are making BILLIONS after losing their companies just as much in crooked deals, still waiting for most of the ENRON people to go to jail, the wire tapping illegal mess, Libby pardons while border guards rot in jail, our ports run by the MINDLESS EAST! Oh, and borders wide open. Plus let's war on Science and choose faith over freedom. Let's have a theocracy like Iran but with Jesus at the helm rather than nutting Islam. Let's get rid of the Dept. of Education and turn over teaching to the churches. Let's tell the world global warming is a myth while praying for the apocolypse and the rapture. That sounds helpful.


Wow, I am so glad we are still bringing up Clinton 8 years later. I am so glad that we have are better off today than our parents were. Our kids are so damn lucky. They are going to owe us BIG TIME for leaving them this perfect world.

Hillary Clinton is a "Cry Baby".

Do we need a "Cry Baby" for President?

John McCain best days are behind Him, if he became President what would he do.

The little wife following him around look like she's 40 years younger than him.

Do we need another 4 years of the Bush era?

Not impressed.

I will like to correct the statement someone made about OBL in Africa. He is in Pakistan and not Africa. Please don't add Africa as one of your 'axis of evil'

Secondly Clinton did a good job of handling the heckler.Whipping up conspiracy theory will not help the nation moving forward

Dude, you do realize that there are 300 million people in the U.S., right? So to say hundreds of millions saw his ridiculous propaganda film is...well...a monumental exaggeration.

why is race playing a role in obama's campaign?

70-80% of African-Americans in each state that has either held a caucus or an election has voted for Obama.

I think voting for someone based on race is a step backwards.

t5: Hillary Clinton support is coming from white woman and white man, because they want to see a white woman become President qualified or not. Race is and issue because it's alway been a issue.

Former President Bill Clinton is the biggest fate ever. Playing race against race.

Obama's suport is mainly from black men and black women...if race is the issue, we are doomed...selecting the best individual to run our government should be the driving force behind every citizen...Obama is simply not ready to handle this job. Do not be blinded by the color of his skin.

"My story was never mentioned in the final [9/11 Commission] report and I felt like I was being put on trial in a court room...I finally walked out. They were trying to twist my words and make the story fit only what they wanted to hear. All I wanted to do was tell the truth and when they wouldn't let me do that, I walked out."

Firefighter Lou Cacchioli--Witness before the 9/11 Commission. WTC survivor. Retired 20-year veteran of FDNY, Company 47, Harlem. Injuries on 9/11 and toxic dust inhalation forced retirement.

It was a disgrace to everyone, the victims and the family members who lost loved ones. I don't agree with the 9/11 Commission. The whole experience was terrible."

So Mr Bill by you not getting OBL when you had the chance...3000 Americans were killed. You sir are the idiot!

Posted by: ed | Jan 31, 2008 12:59:05 PM

So, how about a REAL investigation into 911?

The family members are demanding it. Are they idiots, too?

Once the Mainstream stops categorizing all "doubters" as "missles, bombs, bush did it inside job" people, which will never happen, we'd be able to speak openly about the serious conflicts of interests and coverups that have occurred.

It's common sense.

LOL, Bill Clinton pwned a troofer. Well, he deserved it. Let the troofers go back to the grassy knoll they came from and hope they camp out and doze off in their tents singing "Kumbaya". Their heckling and conspiracy theories are getting annoying.

There has never been a real investigation of 9/11. The Family Steering Committee is still advocating for a real investigation. And Hillary hasn't done squat for the first responders. Neither has Bush or anyone else.

Posted by: simuvac | Jan 31, 2008 1:18:19 PM

There are very too many unexplained inconsistancies in the 9-11 commission report, and an obvious avoidance to finding out what really happened on
Sep 11, 2001. Why for example were not the people at ground zero given their say. They saw, up close what was going on. One might wonder why B. Clinton wouldn't encourage a real and indefpendent investigation.

Posted by: Philip J Dennany | Jan 31, 2008 1:24:39 PM

Posted by: ScrewLooseChange on Myspace | Jan 31, 2008 1:42:30 PM

Bill Clinton knows it is not an inside job. Bill knew where the people are from and who they are. He knew them when he was in office. He had no time to chase them because his involvment with Monica Lewinski was top priority for him. He was more interested in what was under the table than the intelligence papers that were on the table.

Now shamelessly he is saying he knows Hillary is the best person for the job. He didn't think Hillary was good for the job Monica was doing for him.

Posted by: Markus Nezpick | Jan 31, 2008 1:44:19 PM

Why are we blaming this heckling of Bill Clinton on the Obama camp? There is no linkage whatsoever.

Did they ever let up on her ???Did Bush inhale??/ Clintons stole from the white house when they left. Ronnie got air force one no mention of this steal.

Posted by: de lo | Jan 31, 2008 2:18:08 PM


You have to ask yourself, "why do so many people question what happened on 9/11?" It's simple, the official explanation is obviously flawed and suspect. You can shout a heckler down but reality has a way of winning in the end!

Posted by: allans2k7 | Jan 31, 2008 2:18:45 PM

Markus Nezpick if your beloved President Bush would have listen to the briefing about Osama when the power of commard was handing over to him I would bet there wouldn'nt even been a 911 to talk about.

Posted by: Bob | Jan 31, 2008 2:20:37 PM

Despite the unofficial entry of Slick Willey into the race (those of you who think that a vote for hillary is not a vote for bill are in denial), I can not cast my vote for hillary.
consider this:
if Hillary is elected into the white house that will mark the 24 yrs of our country being ran by the same two families. Bush and Clinton. I can't speak for you guys but a monarchy is as a monarchy does. It's bad enough our democracy has certainly blurred the line to a oligocracy.
I feel like no matter how obama's campaign goes barring any serious mishaps his platform is such that we should give a non W.A.S.P. a chance. Its about time a country made up of immagrants have a minority leader.

At this point I cant see how he could make our country worst...

Posted by: Jon | Jan 31, 2008 2:23:28 PM

How about the people that feel as if the government is a complete failure in every endeavor that they decide to undertake?? Instead of arguing we need to throw ALL of these bums out into the street and start over fresh with a SMALL government that was framed in the constitution. NOT one that has a "defense" department that just "misplaces" over a TRILLION dollars BEFORE 9/11. WHY GIVE THEM MORE MONEY??? THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO GET IT RIGHT, SO GET THE HELL OUT OF THE PEOPLES PERSONAL LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO UNIVERSAL ANYTHING....IT WILL BE MORE OF A MESS, MORE $2,000 DOLLAR TOILET SEATS...MORE $400 HAMMERS...MORE WASTE, MORE FRAUD.

Posted by: nope | Jan 31, 2008 2:25:20 PM

Honest and intelligent people understand that the overwhelming preponderance of evidence indicates that the 9/11 attacks were conducted with the complicity and pre-planning of the current administration. The Clintons are a part of the same power structure, and will always stand with the co-religionists, the Bushes. To expect otherwise is folly. Similarly Obama. Similarly McCain. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. Your children are meat for your masters.

Posted by: Albert Hall | Jan 31, 2008 2:36:34 PM

Why are they heckling Clinton, it's the nuts who are in Washington right now that covered up whatever happened.

Building 7 imploded and the 911 commision didn't even mention it.

Posted by: Fred | Jan 31, 2008 2:38:44 PM

i'm black and i'm voting for barack not based on the color of his skin but the need for change in this country.

for years now, america has had to deal w/ the fight between liberals and conservatives, a fight that stems from the baby boomers split in the '60's which continues to this day (i've heard it called a fight between the hippies and the squares). As a gen X'er I'm sick of this fight. it is time that we work across party lines and ideology to get this country in a better position to address the challenges of the 21st century and to be bettered prepared to deal with the growing military power (China), diplomatic power (EU), and economic power (EU, China, India, Russia) of other nations and regions. we cannot be at our best if we are split. we may not agree on everything but we must work together nonetheless. the issues that are currently being discussed are the same issues that they were talking about when i first started voting in the early 90's. the 1st clinton did not resolve these issues, bush was not able to do it and i don't believe clinton will be able to do it either. its not because she is white, its not beacuse she is a woman, it is because she is part of the old way of thinking (us vs. them mentality) that must end for the interest of the country.

if HRC get the nominee, i will vote for mccain. i know he has the ability to work with others, that's why many in his party hate him so much. in the end, you must vote for the one who you believe will be the best person to put the country in a better position to for the future. i think mccain would do fine for 4 years, then in 2012 we can pass the torch to someone who is not tied to the fight between the hippies and the squares.

Most people in this country are so ignorant and so detached from reality that suggesting anything that might burst their bubble of their perception of America is like telling them their obviously ugly daughter is ugly. She is, but they love her so much, they ignore the imperfections and accept her as she is.

Posted by: Jon | Jan 31, 2008 2:55:10 PM

Fraud 08? Don't you mean Fraud 2000 and 2004?

You tell me what it was about. Sec. of State Rice has herself stated that there is no evidence that there was any credible offer to hand over Bin laden. This is simply a stry that Faux news ran and ran with.

Also, if it was so obvious that Bin laden should have been taken in or taken out, why didn't the Bush administration do so when they took office?

This is all just examples of the GOP and the Neo-cons trying to scare and confuse the America people, and they are true traitors to everything we hold dear.

So keep kidding yourselves that it's all Bill's fault, if that helps you sleep after 8 years of the GOP destroying America.

Posted by: Dan Sarazen | Jan 31, 2008 3:33:36 PM

C'mon, if you can't see that 911 was a least covered up, you are about as dumb as they think you are.

The theories exist because there are no credible official accounts of the story!,
or at least enough of one to counter what some people have discovered.

Terrorists could not pull this attack off today, like they couldn't on that day because the air defense systems are virtually unchanged !, at a minimum our masters let it happen, period.

Posted by: Fred | Jan 31, 2008 3:38:49 PM

Bill's right, 9/11 was perpetrated by al-CIA-duh. (WTC 7 didn't blow itself up)

Posted by: Dave | Jan 31, 2008 3:49:26 PM

Dave, WTC didn't "blow itself up." It fell down due to have debris from two much larger buildings (that ALSO were not blown up) fall down on top of it.

A little reality goes a long way.

Posted by: HDK | Jan 31, 2008 3:53:48 PM

Last I heard, lots of 9/11 first-responders are dying from severe respiratory problems. They inhaled air full of asbestos after Christine Todd Whitman declared that the air around ground zero was safe.

C'mon people! Even the former italien president has come out and said 9/11 was an inside job. And ever heard of Robert Baer? The ex-CIA guy who wrote the book which was the inspiration for Syriana said 9/11 looks like an inside job. It's all not that far-fetched me thinks.

Posted by: Charlie | Jan 31, 2008 4:00:15 PM

Bill Clinton is too close to 9/11 to be impartial. To ask for a new independent investigation is not crazy, and those who do so are not 'rioters'. They are ordinary people like myself who have looked at the evidence and find serious reasons to doubt the official story. Until an independent, international investigation is instigated we will continue to call for one.

Posted by: Andrew Lowe Watson | Jan 31, 2008 4:03:10 PM

I see the usual comments from the "head in the sand" crowd. Troofers, tin-foil hat name calling. Funny, they never seem to want to talk about the thousands of unanswered questions about 9/11.

Don't you think it's odd that all these supposed leaders have the exact same attitude about 9/11? Nothing to see here, move along. The case was solved within hours on 9/11, no need to ask any more questions. Usually, when someone doesn't want any questions asked, they have something to hide.

The media told you Osama controlled the operation from a cave and his 19 cavemen did the whole operation. We don't need to provide any stinkin evidence, believe what you're told.
Case closed.

Yeah right, and Osama made the trillion dollar military STAND DOWN during the 2 hour event. You have to be a COMPLETE SAP to believe this laughable story.

Do your own research people

Posted by: Roger | Jan 31, 2008 4:07:37 PM

Problem: Millions of Americans are think 9/11 was an inside job.

Why does Clinton mock them, when a real investigation would shut these people up?

Instead we just go on fighting the '9/11 Wars'.

Kinda makes ya wonder, doesn't it?

“Snake of a Woman” …. I have heard a lot of people say that about HRK…. But when
I ask them why, they can’t explain. One of my friends said that she “looks
cunning”, or she took advantage of the Bill Clinton - Monica Lewinsky episode
(sympathy factor). I would say that it was something that was private to their
family, and even if it is true, taking into account that we are talking about
the first family it was the most pragmatic thing that any one could have done.
She stood by her husband and tried to diffuse the whole issue and get to the
“real” issues concerning the "nation". And if some one is judging
based on looks or likability factor( sweet, cunning , polite ..whatever), I say
u gotta look at what their polacies than their looks.

Ok, forget the past , the best thing abut HRK that I like is that she explains
her plan, she doesn’t gloss over the whole thing from a very high level and
chant the word “CHANGE”. I agree Obama is an amazing speaker, he can move
people, but, he doesn’t get into the details, this is exactly like John Kerry’s
campaign where he would say that he has a “PLAN” but never explained what the
plan was. Even his website doesn’t support the plans adequately.
HRK is so comfortable in explaining her plan even getting into details, this has happened in every debate, on the other hand Obama delivers amazing one liners – opening statements – and all the stuff which makes an amazing speech without getting into the details – I HAVE TO GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR THAT. And every time when he is posed with a question which needs an explanation he starts chanting “CHANGE”……. COME ON!!!!

And people talk about misrepresentation; I say that the “MEDIA” has got more to
do with this than the candidates or their campaigns.

Finally I would say that we need a "smart and experienced " president
who can handle the issues at hand and I think Hillary Clinton can do it.

as the towers burned, we stood on 6th Ave and 14th street, a group of onlookers. one construction guy mentioned to the others that "if that fire keeps burning like that, the steel foundation will melt and collapse."

This was by a regular person in the know about construction, commenting BEFORE the towers even fell. Therefore, any moron claiming from their mommy's basement, that it was not "possible", is proven to be 100% wrong. These are the weak, timid people of America, who spend time with this idiotic stuff. I wish we could round up all 9/11 inside job conspiracy types, and send them to a island never to return. it's embarassing to the human race to co-exist with these people.

There are a lot of unanswered questions about 9/11. I think it was the week of 9/17 that FoxNews's Brit Hume and Carl Cameron did a 4-part series on how Amdocs and Israeli Mosad were up to their elbows in 9/11; that they fully knew in advance. Those reports were quickly removed from Fox Online without any comment

9/11 truthers are not crazy. There is a lot being hidden from us.

Bill might have messed around with a fat chick but Bush screwed the entire world. And disgracefully used 911 and the lives of all those lost to generate HIS war for oil profits at our expense. Why does anyone pay millions to take a Presidential Seat that pays 400k ?
We and our Grandchildrens Grandchildren will get to enjoy the greatest National deficit this world has ever known. While Daddy Warbucks and Richard Cranial sit on easy street with a back pocket packed with your money.

If you search the ABC site you will find a story about a new book coming out that says that the CEO of the 9/11 investigation met with Karl Rove and that the whitehouse directed the investigation. You may also remember that Bush refused to testify without Darth at his side. Its easy to dismiss someone and their ideas by attacking them, its called an Ad Hominem, meaning attack the person, not the idea or the facts. So keep calling me crazy because I don't care anymore. The truth is out. If you want to know what it is, you can find out.

"Honest and intelligent people understand that the overwhelming preponderance of evidence indicates that the 9/11 attacks were conducted with the complicity and pre-planning of the current administration."

How can a "man" be so stupid? Ya, the same administration that can't deliver a bottle of water to a city after a hurricane, can't win a war . . . against 3rd World ragheads . . . destroyed the economy . . . screwed up every last thing they attempted . . . but they managed to pull of an "inside job" on 9/11.

It's scary to have to co-exist with such twits. The intellectual temerity is astonishing. These are the same people who claim bush is "stupid" . . . ya stupid like a clever conspirator! he actually CAN speak in full sentences.

losers is what you are, living in a past that never even existed.

Posted by: Concerned | Jan 31, 2008 4:43:15 PM

Roger, before speaking tell me something. Have you seen the report I referred to? Those, very detailed investigative reports, were from FoxNews, not some "liberal media". So if you declare something to be "garbage" without even knowing anything about it, it says a lot about you and your mental capabilities.

George W. Bush's brother Marvin, was on the board of directors of a company providing electronic security for the World Trade Center, Dulles International Airport and United Airlines, according to public records. The company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp., also linked for years to the Bush family.

Marvin Bush's last year on the board at Stratesec coincided with his first year on the board of HCC Insurance, formerly Houston Casualty Co., one of the insurance carriers for the WTC. He left the HCC board in November 2002.

Marvin Bush has not responded to telephone calls and e-mails for comment. If he did, if 9/11 hadn't been the catalyst for an unnecessary war that enriched Bushites to the entire US treasury; I wouldn't have doubts about 9/11. I live in Manhattan, and lived here during 9/11. I KNOW the Bushes are in on it.

Posted by: Bill | Jan 31, 2008 4:45:46 PM

These conspiracy theories about the WTC have been debunked. It doesn't matter anyway because these conspiracy theorists wouldn't accept any evidence, unless it supports, well, their conspiracy theories.

Posted by: JRM | Jan 31, 2008 4:46:11 PM

"Marvin Bush" lol. what trash this stuff is. sounds like when i was a kid and we'd try and make up mystery movies. except our fantasies were a lot more interesting.

Posted by: Concerned | Jan 31, 2008 4:58:36 PM

why was the 9/11 building rubble shipped off to another country to be melted down? Surely you would want to investigate as much of the rubble as you could for any clues, like in any homicide investigation? This point was made in different words by a former CIA agent on TV, dispute it all you want.

Next, why was 0s4ma's family flown out so quickly after the event? in a homicide investigation, wouldn't you want to interview the family of the perp as soon as possible?

the real crime is not the tin foil hatters but the lack of any televised debate and open discussion in a logical way about 9/11.

control the media, control the mind

tv brainwashes you and you eat it all, consumers and mental midgets.

what do I believe? nothing, yet, I don't know who to believe, I sure don't trust the unknown mouthpieces, nor do I trust a government, any government to tell me the truth.

War criminal Bill Clinton is -- of course -- one of the prime suspects for creating this fraudulent "war on terror." He went to great lengths to NOT catch bin Laden in the 90's, and he partnered with "Al Qaeda" connected Jihadists in Kosovo and Macedonia.

Clinton's own CIA "bin Laden desk" officer (Sheuer), claims that Clinton denied action against bin Laden on 10 seperate occasions.

We know that a "war on terrorism" was meant to replace the cold war (on communism) and that this is a long erm strategic plan by US elites and their foreign cronies

We live in "fictional times." -Michael Moore

Posted by: johndoraemi | Jan 31, 2008 5:02:36 PM

Obama is more than ready, Clintons are ready to continue to line their pockets and screw the country like the did back in the 90's and like Bush is doing now.

Obama's not ready is just plain dog-whistle racism coming from a desperate candidate.

Idiot:

"where Department of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff's cousin works!!!"

What in the name of god has that got to do with ANYTHING. his "cousin" "works" there? that has absolutely no meaning whatsoever.

document ONE thing "Michael Chertoff's cousin" did to effect the investigation. name his job, what role he played in the investigation/report, what is his relationship with chertoff, etc.

Either that . . . or shut up forever.

Posted by: Concerned | Jan 31, 2008 5:14:47 PM

have been debunked? yeah with fact that have no basis with reality. Aluminum planes are not going to destroy a STEEL building, and the flames from a petro fire are not going to melt them either no matter how many scientists say it will, or your stove might melt in your kitchen next time you boil water making your pasta.
Building don't collasp and oh yeah pancake? why would it, with all the concrete turning to dust in the first seconds,.. what was collasping?? 100 stories?? what happened to the building?

Posted by: Greg | Jan 31, 2008 5:18:11 PM

Idiot:

"Surely you would want to investigate as much of the rubble as you could"

Investigate "rubble"? what are you, 12? how do you "investigate" rubble? what exact procedures are involved? every single piece of concrete should have been "investigated"? i assume i must be speaking with high school or college kids who have never seen the real world? please, don't tell me you are adults, that would be sad.

i have nothing but contempt for you small minded group-think types who buy into any and all "conspiracy" rumors.

here's another one these wackos embrace:

there were no dinosaurs on earth, it's all a "conspiracy". really. they believe that.

Posted by: Concerned | Jan 31, 2008 5:20:16 PM

Clinton was largely right in insisting 9/11 was not an inside job, but no self-respecting follower of the Constitution could say that this appalling event was anything like the Official Conspiracy Theory has described.

The US has yet to face the fact that it was outsmarted by those it benefited most and that sure wasn't the Arabs, was it?

Remember Carl Cameron's 4 part series on Fox News back in 2001? No, didn't think so, as it was erased and dropped down the memory hole.

An impartial and judicial investigation of 9/11 has yet to be convened in the States. Why is this, despite Commissioners Kean and Hamilton themselves saying their commission was ineffective and manipulated by the White House?

Posted by: JG | Jan 31, 2008 5:20:42 PM

It could be an inside job AND still have been done by the people he said. Nobody is saying it was COMPLETELY an inside job, that's ridiculous. In fact I think most people who doubt the official explanation KNOW that we don't know the truth....it's not like they are saiyng 'no that's wrong, here's how it EXACTLY happened'...what they are saying is what the govt. is telling us on 9/11 is clearly bs and we want a real investigation. Which is totally reasonable.

Posted by: boory | Jan 31, 2008 5:21:09 PM

25 year old Benjamin Chertoff was the senior science editor that oversaw the original Popular Mechanics article on the collapse of the buildings.

Doesn't prove anything but its the fact that none of this stuff has been aired by the main stream press.

It looks bad and should have been investigated.

Do a little of your own research regarding Michael Chertoff, DHS director.

And also ask yourself, "where did they get the term "homeland" to name the department. And why is the former head of the east german secret police working as a consultant for DHS.

Fascism didn't begin or end in WW2 . .

WAKE UP!!! Those who refuse to see the CLEAR evidence that 9/11 didn't happen as our government declares are keeping themselves blind to a reality that is too difficult for them to digest. Tell me how a building, that wasn't even hit by one of the planes, came crashing to the ground as if it were imploded. I am disgusted by anyone who accepts the "official" story as the truth when soley based on their own blind-faith in what the government tells them. WAKE UP and quit being such a non-thinking sheep!

Posted by: Steve | Jan 31, 2008 5:32:46 PM

haha get yourself all whipped into a frenzy! the only thing we know: the gov't failed us on 9/11, and somehow they are the only ones who can save us.

Posted by: HAHA | Jan 31, 2008 5:35:02 PM

Some who protest are wolfs in sheep's clothing . . . this is my guess.

Lots of money being made making all of us afraid.

Its the oldest con . . . create the disease and then sell people the cure.

Rent V is for Vendetta and/or Children of Men this weekend if you haven't seen them. The Good Shepherd is also an excellent film.

You don't need to be afraid, its a very interesting story and finding out the truth is the ultimate liberation from congnitive dissonance . . you know . . like the thing that had been bothering Neo in the Matrix . . . something is wrong but you can't put your finger on it.

Peace!

This about sums it up:

"finding out the truth is the ultimate liberation from congnitive dissonance . . you know . . like the thing that had been bothering Neo in the Matrix"

exactly, just like in a fictional sci fi movie. And if the feds are so wicked and efficient . . . why haven't they rounded you dullards up yet? Now THERE'S a conspiracy I could support.
