Leopold's New Scoop

Is just like his old scoop, which came from the kitty litter box. This is getting highlighted over at 9-11 Flogger:

For many Americans, the emotional reaction to President Barack Obama's announcement last month that a Navy Seal team had killed Osama bin Laden during a raid at his compound in Pakistan was celebratory. But for others, like the mysterious Iron Man, who has spent his career lurking in the shadows, the death of the late al-Qaeda leader is a painful reminder of what could have been avoided had the government heeded numerous early warnings of an impending attack against the very targets terrorists struck on 9/11.


Yes, the usual, "if they'd only listened to me," crap. Get the early warning:
For example, Iron Man states in his letter that in the summer of 2000, DO5 briefed USJFCOM senior intelligence officials and staffers, including the deputy commander in chief, on the "WMD Threat to the U.S."

Iron Man describes a "sensitive," "oral briefing" that took place that summer "indicating that the World Trade Centers #1 and #2 were the most likely buildings to be attacked [by al-Qaeda], followed closely by the Pentagon. The briefer indicated that the worst case scenario would be one tower collapsed onto another."


Wow, talk about prescient! Somebody actually predicted that al Qaeda would topple one building into another! It's a miraculous bit of intelligence.

Well, except for one little thing. It's the exact plot that Ramsi Yousef attempted in 1993 with his bomb in the parking garage.

Furthermore, as he states in his letter, Iron Man was certain that such a scenario was part of a "red cell analysis" discussion that took place prior to the intelligence briefing and included a finding that the buildings "could be struck by a jetliner." He wrote that there was a suggestion about alerting WTC security and engineering or architectural staff, "but the idea was not further explored because of a command climate discouraging contact with the civilian community."


The part about struck by a jetliner is indeed interesting and would actually be prescient. But Leopold does not include that portion of the letter, and of course, this is somewhat like Able Danger; a claim made after the fact with no evidence other than the claim that, "Iron Man was certain." Oh, and that bit about warning the WTC security and engineering or architectural staff is priceless. What were they supposed to do, mount anti-aircraft guns on the sides of the buildings?

Given Leopold's history--he notoriously claimed that Karl Rove had been indicted for perjury in the Valerie Plame case, which never happened--he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.

As usual, the real hilarity is in the comments:
The real story of what happened on 9-11 will be revealed. Right after they tell us what happened at Pearl Harbor in 1943 and what happened in Dallas in 1963.


Embarrassing indeed but there are about 10 comments in reply to that thread before somebody notices that 1943 is the wrong year for Pearl Harbor. My favorite is this guy:
I can tell you what happened in Dallas. and I was not even born until 2 weeks after it happened.

Egged on, he elaborates:
Four teams of shooters. Oswald Brading Fratiano and Roselli who fired the fatal shots. Oswald was a willing participant but did not know he was being set up. Reasons he was chosen as the patsy was the Russian wife and little known fact Oswald was working for JFK under Hoover closing down the anti-Castro training camps in the Gulf region of the US. Each team had a timer and supervisor whose responsibility was to pick up the weapons and casings. They threw Oswalds rifle behind the boxes on the sixth floor and his fate was sealed. E Howard Hunt and GW Bush were the planners along with G Ford who planned the route. Failed BOP invasion codename Zapata same as HWs offshore oil co. Ruby was small time mafia as was most of the Dallas PD thats why Brading was able to fire from the Dal Tex building w/o fear of prosecution. Several of the operatives were arrested and released. Motives for JFKs murder were numerous. Exec orders abolishing the FED the firing of Allan Dulles for carrying out the failed Bay of Pigs invasion against his orders. The fact JFK would not sign on to Northwoods and JFK refused to be controlled by the Jesuits and the Vatican. Now take that info and research for yourself our collective intelligence will thank you when youve caught up. Or drink the koolaid.

And:
Great...

.....but
.
you left out the Israeli Mossad Connection. All the underworld guys you mentioned even the dallas police and prosecutors office worked for the Syndicate, i.e Meyer Lansky, the capo of capo's, little Big Man, the dude who told everyone in US organized crime what to do. Why the Israeli connection? Because (1) the CIA and the Mossad have been coonected at the hip since their respective births following WWII. Here the OSS used organized crime in europe and the US to support wartime operations. That brought the OSS into contact with Lansky who brought them into contact with the Jewish underwold in Europe which would later form the foundations of Mossad.


Marvin Bush, Dubya's brother worked for the security company that guarded the World Trade Center.


And for many weeks, before 9/11, massive "construction" was performed on these buildings, with armed guards stationed to keep curious people out.

NORAD was prescient too. IN the two years before 9/11, they ran drills that involved a hijacked airliner crashed into the World Trade Center.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2004-04-18-norad_x.htm

"In the two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, the North American Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating what the White House says was unimaginable at the time: hijacked airliners used as weapons to crash into targets and cause mass casualties. One of the imagined targets was the World Trade Center."

"...Okay, you’ve covered your ass, now get back to Washington, D.C." -- George W. Bush's response after reading the now-famous 6 August 2001 memo titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US." An excerpt from investigative reporter Ron Suskind's book titled, The One Percent Doctrine: Deep Inside America's Pursuit of Its Enemies Since 9/11 (Simon & Schuster, June 2006).

Bill, for starters, it makes no sense given who requested the report on domestic terror threats:

http://www.newsweek.com/2002/05/26/what-went-wrong.html

"Bush was privately beginning to worry about the stream of terror warnings he was hearing that summer, most of them aimed at U.S. targets abroad. On July 5, five days before the Phoenix memo, Bush directed Rice to figure out what was going on domestically."

And so he lashes out at them for covering their asses by giving him a briefing that he himself requested? It doesn't parse.

 
At 14 June, 2011 15:34, Blogger GuitarBill said...

Pat, the Newsweek article you cite contradicts your take on the events leading up to 11 September 1001. For example,

"...Rice was alarmed by what she heard, and asked for a strategy review. But the effort was marginalized and scarcely mentioned in ensuing months as the administration committed itself to other priorities, like national missile defense (NMD) and Iraq."

The question remains, who "marginalized" the counterterrorism efforts for "other priorities," including energy policy, "NMD and Iraq"? In other words, who decided that counterterrorism should take a backseat to "other priorities"?

Clearly, "the Bushies had an ideological agenda of their own," and that agenda didn't include a serious effort to beef up counterterrorism efforts both at home or abroad.

Given the aforementioned revelations, why is Bush's wanton dismissal of the CIA memo so hard to believe?

 
At 14 June, 2011 16:23, Blogger Pat said...

Because he personally requested it.

 
At 14 June, 2011 16:37, Blogger GuitarBill said...

I'm not disputing that Bush requested the report. That's beside the point.

If Bush was so concerned about bin Laden, why did counterterrorism take a backseat to "other priorities"?

Where I come from, counterterrorism is the first priority, not energy policy, "national missile defense (NMD) and Iraq."

WAQo, the fact that they scrapped the plane-into-Pentagon scenario as "unrealistic" suggests that the fact that they put on the plane-into-WTC simulation as realistic.

Because NORAD's radars point OUTWARD, not inside the US. You cannot intercept them if you can't see them. Duh.

"WAQo, the fact that they scrapped the plane-into-Pentagon scenario as "unrealistic" suggests that the fact that they put on the plane-into-WTC simulation as realistic."

No, it suggests different training cultures within the different squadrons, and it also suggests a limited budget forcing the Air Force to focus on likely scenarios.

It is also an example how how seriously NORAD felt this kind of threat actually was.

Once again you cite a media source to make your case, but the source shoots your premise out from under you.

I could see a sniper using a spotter, but that was a development that evolved late in Vietnam. If you are going to murder the leader of the free world and hope to get away with it why involve 8 other people? The painful problem with conspiracy nus is that they cannot explain the mechanics of their conspiracy.

It's like controlled demo at the WTC, or a missile into the Pentagon. The legistics for each theory are mind-boggling, and each would leave a clear, easy to follow trial back to the conspiritors themselves.

This is precisely why I want to see the goat fucker banned from SLC. As long as he's allowed to spew long ago debunked troofer propaganda there can be no debate at SLC. The goat fucker's propaganda, moreover, isn't designed to stir debate, it's designed TO END THE DEBATE.

In fact, I often wonder if the goat fucker isn't a Republican (He admitted to being an alleged "former Republican"). After all, there's nothing the Republican Party fears more than a real, substantive debate centered around Bush's failed counterterrorism policy. Instead we're stuck chasing the goat fucker's stupid conspiracy theories and red herrings from one end of SLC to the other.

It's a shame because we could have a real debate about 9/11; instead we're mired in stupidity masquerading as an all-inclusive debate policy.

Because it was prior to 9-11. It's fine to say that counter-terrorism should have been the first priority on 9-10, but it largely wasn't on anybody's radar with the exception of people like John O'Neill and Ric Rescorla.

How many questions about terrorism were there in the Bush/Gore debates in 2000? Here are the transcripts:

http://www.debates.org/index.php?page=october-3-2000-transcript

http://www.debates.org/index.php?page=october-11-2000-debate-transcript

http://www.debates.org/index.php?page=october-17-2000-debate-transcript

Not a single question dedicated to terrorism. Gore does mention it briefly in the third debate:

"In the Congress, in the House of Representatives, I served on the House Intelligence Committee and I worked hard to learn the subject of nuclear arms control and how we can diffuse these tensions and deal with non-proliferation and deal with the problems of terrorism and these new weapons of mass destruction."

Okay, let's talk about the secrecy for a sec. I will direct you to Wikileaks. Hundreds of thousands of military and diplomatic secrets exposed, what did we learn? Where are the lies people like you assume were there? How did any of the details change the over-all story/history?

My question to you is why do you care about the secrecy?

Define fearmongering because either terrorism is real or it's not.

As far as rubbing our faces in 9/11 nobody gets away with that. Americans do have a short attention spans, and they need to be reminded.

It's thinking like yours that caused 9/11, and I think it's good that you remind us of how painfully naive Americans were before 9/11. Every security failure can be traced back to someone who thought like you do now.

MGF, if NORAD's radars only pointed outward, then how come Major Kevin Nasypany told Vanity Fair that the problem was that the radars showed every airplane in the sky and there were too many blips?

NORAD put on the airplane-into-WTC drill, so apparently they thought the scenario was realistic.

GutterBall I have never been a Republican.

Pat, counterterrorism was definitely on Richard Clarke's radar, George Tenet's, Richard Blee's, Sandy Berger's, Cofer Black's. Cofer Black said that as far as warning Condi "We did everything but pull the trigger to the gun we were holding to her head." A task force on the order of what Clinton did before the Millenium LAX plot would have broken down the walls between Scheuer's unit and Able Danger and the FBI.

That because Moron, over the US on any given day there are thousands of aircraft, NORAD does not pay them much attention because they are under the control of the FAA. NORAD looks outward for any suspicious fast moving aircraft or missiles ONLY. Until the FAA ask NORAD to help NORAD has no reason to look at these blips. If you were not so hopelessly stupid you would know this simple fact.

RGT, the Project Bojinka plot had been known since 1995. Certainly the attacks were forseeable. The CIA knew that two al Qaeda agents, Nawaf al Hazmi and Khalid al Mihdhar, were here in the USA. According to Bob Woodward, they bought ten airline tickets dated 9/11/01.

They forget the fact questions mean nothing only the questioner is deficient in knowledge, an all common thing with truthers.

And of course all their questions have been answered time and time again, but they continue with the questions because that is all they got. It's not designed to find knowledge but to wear down the people who do have the answers. Just like a child who has learned asking "Why Daddy??" over and over can often get a parent to relent.

DK, Laura Brown said the FAA-DoD phone bridge set up before 9:00 kept the DoD informed of all the planes of interest.

Take my hometown for example, Johnstown, PA. On May 31, 1889 the South Fork Dam broke, sending 20 million tons of water down the valley into the city, killing 2,209 people. Those people were warned long ago that the possibly of a dam break could happen, they were warned that day in May, 3 times.

This quote is a prime example of your brain damage/mental illness. In the course of trying to debate you actaully undermine your theory that NORAD was tracking the planes and knew where they were. NORAD did see every plane in the sky- THEY JUST COULDN'T IDENTIFY THEM. The FAA at one point thought that there were many more hijacked jets than the four actual. So between not being able to identify the planes, not having enough alert fighters, and not knowing which aircraft were hijacked it is clear why no interceptions were made.

You cited a USA Today article that says thet you are full of shit, and explains why NORAD didn't intercept. Only a mentally ill person does this. Get help.

Oh Brian, you are so fucking stupid. Just stop talking already.

First, a task force didn't prevent the Millinium Bombing, an aleart customs agent did:


http://www.globalsecurity.org/security/ops/millenium-plot.htm

"On December 14, 1999, Ressam drove his rental car onto the ferry from Victoria, Canada, to Port Angeles,Washington. Ressam planned to drive to Seattle and meet Meskini, with whom he would travel to Los Angeles and case LAX. They planned to detonate the bomb on or around January 1, 2000. At the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) preinspection station in Victoria, Ressam presented officials with his genuine but fraudulently obtained Canadian passport, from which he had torn the Afghanistan entry and exit stamps.The INS agent on duty ran the passport through a variety of databases but, since it was not in Ressam’s name, he did not pick up the pending Canadian arrest warrants. After a cursory examination of Ressam’s car, the INS agents allowed Ressam to board the ferry. Late in the afternoon of December 14, Ressam arrived in Port Angeles. He waited for all the other cars to depart the ferry, assuming (incorrectly) that the last car off would draw less scrutiny. Customs officers assigned to the port, noticing Ressam’s nervousness, referred him to secondary inspection. When asked for additional identification, Ressam handed the Customs agent a Price Costco membership card in the same false name as his passport. As that agent began an initial pat-down, Ressam panicked and tried to run away."

Then you are always squealing about the errosion of civil rights and the Constitution, but then you turn around and advocate doing away with Posse Comitatus. Able Danger was a U.S. Army intelligence terror think-tank. The US Army cannot conduct operations within CONUS, the US Army cannot collect intelligence within CONUS. They go to prison if they do.

RGT, the Project Bojinka plot had been known since 1995. Certainly the attacks were forseeable.

No. You're confused about the whole conceivable/foreseeable/predictable spectrum. Sunsets are predictable. Earthquakes are not predictable, but they are foreseeable -- they've happened before and will happen again. Terrorists hijacking domestic flights to use as weapons might have been conceivable in 2001, based on Bojinka, but not foreseeable. You have a bad case of after-the-fact reasoning.

Brian you know nothing except how to mop floors. Al you know I have had to teach you. You see this is exactly why you are a proven low thinking moron. as if NORAD had time to track one of many blips on a screen to calculate its speed. And mind you as has been proven they only had 8 minutes to do all this, at the most, they had no time to find the second WTC aircraft.

No, Brian. Bojinka involved blowing up planes over the Pacific Ocean with no hijacking involved. Why are you lying about this?

MGF, your naive belief that a plucky customs agent brought down Ahmed Ressam would be quite touching were it not so dumb. Naturally intel agencies are reluctant to expose their methods and persons, and so they create cover stories. So why do you think Mr. Ressam was sweating bullets? Because intel agents in Canada were making him nervous! The same techniques could have been applied to the alleged hijackers before 9/11 and caused them to abort the job.

RGT, there were warnings from 13 foreign countries. 6 of them involved attacks on airliners or airlines.

DK, so you think NORAD is not smart enough to pick out a 600 mph blip compared to all their 100 mph blips?

Dylan Unsavory, if you would bother to do a little bit of research you would find that Project Bojinka involved crashing hijacked airliners into landmark buildings such as the WTV, TransAmerica Pyramid, Sears Tower, and the Pentagon.

Mendoza was for a plot involving the hijacking of airliners that was completely distinct from the Bojinka plot in which Yousef, KSM, Murad and a 4th conspirator, Wali Kahn Amin Shah, planned to plant Casio watch powered-nitroglycerine bomb triggers aboard up to a dozens U.S. jumbo jets exiting Asia with U.S. tourists."

Proving once again you know nothing on any subject outside of janitorial work. To track an aircraft you need to decide which blip is of interest among a sea of blips, plot it location at one time and then plot it again later and calculate its speed. And all this in the short 8 minutes warning they had. Also these planes had flown out of Boston not NY.

So the question still remains, why are you so stupid at your age? Why are you such a useless individual?

DU, yes it's true that the USA Landmark Buildings plot was different from the Casio time-bomb plot. So what? Project Bojinka involved both the Casio bombs and the landmark hijackings, and you are taking Lance's quote out of context.

RGT--al Hazmi and al Mihdhar bought 10 airline tickets for 9/11/01. They were known to the CIA as al Qaeda assets who were inside the USA. They had been using their cell phone to call an al Qaeda communications hub in Yemen that was monitored separately by both the CIA and the NSA, and was subject to planted audio bugs as well. Able Danger had identified Mohammed Atta, who was operating quite openly.

DK, how many blips on NORAD's screens were moving at 600 mph but did not have transponders? Do you have any actual arguments other than personal attack?

Not true. Curt Weldon thought he remembered seeing Atta on an Able Danger list at one time. He's the origin of that myth. Atta went by some other name during that period anyway, and wouldn't have appeared as Mohammed Atta.

You just can't handle the fact that a woman caught a terrorist because she was doing her job. A job you are unqualified to ever do. The Customs agents thought he was smuggling drugs, and were not expecting explosives.

Once a again you lie. You have fabricated a secret operation that has never been mentioned once in 12 years in spite of all of the terror-related FOIA by every major newspaper. Yet a sexual deviant janitor knows all about it.

"DK, so you think NORAD is not smart enough to pick out a 600 mph blip compared to all their 100 mph blips? "

The average take-off speed (that is the speed required for the plane to leave the ground - I add this because of your inability to grasp basic physics) is 150mph. The cruising speed for commercial jets runs between 300mph to 500mph depending on type and altitude.

So now we have to add basics of flight to the list of things you do not understand.

Thank you for proving your inborn stupidity once again. ALL the blips on a primary radar would show no transponder signal, that is how that radar works you ignorant dolt. NORAD does not look for transponder aircraft because DUH, attack aircraft DO NOT use transponders. And you claim you know how radar works, Yeah Right.

FACTS ABOUT NORAD on 9/11

They had a maximum 9 minutes advanced notice of the first jacking of American Airlines Flight 11

They were notified about United Airlines Flight 175 at 9:03 AM, the same time that it crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center

They had fourteen minutes advance notice of American Airlines Flight 77

They were notified about United Airlines Flight 93 at 10:07 AM, after it had already crashed.

Now apparently janitors think that in this short amount of time aircraft can be spotted, tracked on primary radar, and magically fighter jet can find them too and shoot them down not even knowing why the jets are off course. All this is the raving of a person with the mental capacity to a 6 year old. Its easy to be a truther when you are so devoid of intelligence and knowledge.

Al Mihdhar had lived in the al Qaeda safehouse in Yemen in the summer of 2000, and he was in Yemen at the time of the Cole bombing.

That's no reason to haul him in. There's nothing illegal about having friends who blow things up. We had civil rights in the Pre-9/11 World, remember?

How about if some hoo-hah about their visas is cooked up?

Harass them? For what reason? Being Arab?

How about if they suddenly receive attention from very aggressive panhandlers who seem to know a lot about them? You think they couldn't be spooked enough so they'd leave the country and abandon the mission?

Even if it were true that NORAD only had 6 minutes notice about flight 11, what about flights 175, 77, and 93? Why was there no air defense for 100 minutes?

RGT, the FBI was investigating the USS Cole bombing and had jurisdiction to haul witnesses and suspects for questioning.

Al Mihdhar was a known agent of al Qaeda. He could be questioned as a material witness. It's not a matter of harassing them for being Arabm, but for being members of a group that was believed to have attacked the African embassies and the USS Cole.

RGT, actually FBI agents Doug Miller and Mark Rossini knew that al Mihdhar and al Hazmi were in the country, but they were prohibited by their supervisor from telling other FBI personnel about it. The FBI's Margaret Gillespie informed her FBI colleague Dina Corsi about them in late August. AlHazmi and alMihdhar were placed on the TIPOFF watch list on August 23 and could have been located, because both were using credit cards. AlMihdhar's visa was then revoked, and alHazmi's had already expired, so both of them could have been arrested. AlMihdhar had lied on his visa application and a criminal investigation for visa fraud was justified.

What kind of idiot would believe that the USA has no legal power to arrest known foreign agents of a known terrorist organization inside its own country? And this state of affairs arose just how? Because Clinton was diddling Monica?

They weren't just "questionable characters". They were known members of al Qaeda, they had visa violations, "the system was blinking red", and they bought 10 airline tickets for 9/11/01.

The feds could have come up with some grounds to bring them in, sure. Particularly if there was knowledge of the upcoming attack. But there wasn't. Being on a watchlist isn't the same thing as being a suspect.

They weren't just "questionable characters". They were known members of al Qaeda, they had visa violations, "the system was blinking red", and they bought 10 airline tickets for 9/11/01.

Hindsight. In every case, you're just connecting dots after-the-fact. Of course that would raise suspicions now, but not in 2001. Did you spend the late 90's smoking a lot of weed? Your memory is bad.

No transponder, no way of knowing altitude, no way identifying the aircraft in the few minutes between the call from the FAA until they got the first F-15 in the air.

You fail again.

"What kind of idiot would believe that the USA has no legal power to arrest known foreign agents of a known terrorist organization inside its own country?"

Learning to fly commercial jets is not a crime. Without probably cause the FBI couldn't act. That's why they needed the Patriot Act, so they could just arrest suspicious foreign nationals at will, without warrent, and hold them as long as they needed to. But you're against the Patriot Act, so why are you insisting it was okay for the FBI to use tactics that would have been illegal before 2001?

What kind of idiot indeed...

RGT, I guess you didn't read my post. The FBI's Margaret Gillespie informed her FBI colleague Dina Corsi about alMihdhar and alHazmi in late August. The FBI launched an investigation but it was an intelligence investigation done by one inexperienced guy--the full-scale criminal investigation that some in the FBI wanted (and which would have soon uncovered the ties to the other alleged hijackers) was not done.

Al Hazmi and al Mihdhar both had visa violations and were both known at the time to be al Qaeda assets. The USA had not yet responded to the USS Cole attack in any way, and al Mihdhar had been in Yemen at the time of that attack.

The story about the Chinese Wall was just a fairy tale by propagandists to place the blame for intelligence failures on Jamie Gorelick. James Bamford says that the law not only allowed the CIA to share information with the FBI, but in this case it obligated them to.

MGF, clearly an airliner traveling at 600 mph is at high altitude. At a lower altitude it couldn't fly that fast.

Nobody would propose that the alleged terrorists be arrested for going to flight school. Obviously there were grounds to question them about their membership in al Qaeda and their visa violations. No need for the Patriot Act. Only for the security apparatus to use the tools they already had.

Yeah, and they would have either lied to the FBI, or took the fifth before leaving the US. Al Qaeda would have just sent replacements and put off the strike for a while.

Gorelick deserves all the blame. If troofers need a smoking gun for intel failures they need to look into the stupidity she was slinging. There was what her rule stated and what was implied, and what was implied was that if the CIA strayed into domestic surveilence people would go to prison. At the same time this came down the CIA was being investigated by the FBI for security breaches, this created a toxic relationship at the exact worst time.

In the first section he reveals his bias by stating that Brian Good has been a royal pain in the ass for him. He then indulges in paranoid conspiracy theorizing in supposing that everyone criticizing his bigotry, habitual lying, and advocacy of violence must be me.

He then misattributes an insulting quote about me to John Bursill. John Bursill never said any such thing.

He then lies about his appearance on 50,000 watt KDKA radio, claiming that I'd invented the stupid statements he made there.

And finally he displays a long dialog alleged to have occurred between Brian Good and an anonymous internet poster called CBSF. He cites SLC as the source--but the dialog does not exist.

This measure of Barrett's scholarship makes clear why he was never offered a tenure-track position anywhere, and makes clear that you need to learn to google.

This is a classic Brian Goode train-wreck thread. He starts with citing a USA Today article that says that NORAD conducted drills that involved scenarios where hijacked jetliners targeted the WTC. The article then goes on to state that all of the attacks came from outside of the US, and the intercept was over the ocean.

Then when reminded that all the hijacked planes tuned off their transponders Brian unleashes his magic-radar rant, and that included this classic:

" if NORAD's radars only pointed outward, then how come Major Kevin Nasypany told Vanity Fair that the problem was that the radars showed every airplane in the sky and there were too many blips?"

Now the amazing thing here is that Brian actually answers the question of why NORAD didn't intercept any of the four planes on 9/11...but it's Brian. Later he adds this gem:

"Pray tell, how many transponderless blips were traveling down the Hudson at 600 mph?"

Followed by this ditty:

"DK, so you think NORAD is not smart enough to pick out a 600 mph blip compared to all their 100 mph blips? "

Later he posts these in a single post (he's in fire now):

"Flight 11 was flying at 600 mph.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14754701/

Cruising speed at 30,000 feet has nothing to do with takeoff speed at sea level.

DK, military aircraft do use transponders in the IFF system. How many primary targets did NORAD have flying down the Hudson River at 600 mph?"

Then he squeals out this"

"Even if it were true that NORAD only had 6 minutes notice about flight 11, what about flights 175, 77, and 93? Why was there no air defense for 100 minutes?"

As I have already pointed out, Brian has remarkably already answered his own question -("... Major Kevin Nasypany told Vanity Fair that the problem was that the radars showed every airplane in the sky and there were too many blips")

It is at this point that it is clear that Brian doesn't care about the facts nor the truth. Brian has a psychopathic need to win at any cost. Caught in a lie? Tell another one.

Back to the game...

Brian says:

"MGF, clearly an airliner traveling at 600 mph is at high altitude. At a lower altitude it couldn't fly that fast."

If he had a dick this is where he would have stepped on it.

I suggest reading the official NTSB reports from the National Security Achives. The have a solid 9/11 section there that explores US involvement in Afghanistan dating back to the Soviet invasion:

http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB196/index.htm

Specifically for this discussion the flight data info for all four aircraft:

http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB196/doc01.pdf

http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB196/doc02.pdf

http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB196/doc02.pdf

http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB196/doc04.pdf

I deal in facts, as does SLC, and these are the facts. The last six minutes of the flight, AA11 was under 10,000 feet.


Now back to the comedy show:

"MGF, what makes you think there's some contradiction between flying down the Hudson at 600 mph and the fact that at low altitudes airliners can't fly that fast?"

See the contradiction is in Brian's head. He says that AA11 was flying down the Hudson at 600mph, then says that is was impossible.

To be fair, there are only estimates of the speed of either plane at time of impact, but the common estimate is 450 mph for AA11. 450mph is faster than 100mph last time I checked.

Brian is delusional. He clearly talks in circles here. At one point he answers his own question about why NORAD didn"t intercept any of the planes, yet he is clueless to this fact.

It is sad in so many ways.

MGF, I never said it was impossible for flight 11 to fly down the Hudson at 600 mph. I only said it was impossible to fly at 600 mph at sea level.

You posted on June 14 at 17:53:

"NORAD's radars point OUTWARD, not inside the US. You cannot intercept them if you can't see them. Duh."

Now you claim there were too many blips, so NORAD couldn't find the hijacked planes in a sea of blips.

You can't remember what you've posted from one day to the next. That's not sad, it's pathetic.

Hmmm. Pardon a bit of plagiarism.

The basest of all things is to be afraid. Man is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.

You said it's "impossible" for any plane to fly over 600 mph. Well this F-14 Tomcat sure as hell broke the sound barrier going over 768 mph:

None of that applies to you, Brian.

You are affraid to debate Willie Rodriguez.

You are incapale of compassion and sacrafice. You soil the memories of those who died on 9/11, their families, and of heroes like Willie Rodriguez. Whenever you are asked to step up for your 9/11 troofer cause you reply that it is not your job.

You are neither a poet nor writer, and you only insult the bravery shown by people on 9/11. When we remind you of Willie's selfless bravery you insult him and call him a liar even though you were not there.

You are a hack and a coward. You need the world to be run by hacks and cowards so that you feel empowered, and that you fit in. That's why Rumsfeld running around to help carry stretchers enrages you, and that's why Willie Rodriguez boils your blood. You know that had you been in their shoes you would have run, or you would have frozen in placein a growing pool of your yellow essence.

When Pat bans you for good(e) you will not be missed.

You made a claim: I only said it was impossible to fly at 600 mph at sea level.

Willie is a liar. I don't need to have been there to know that. His lies have been enormously destructive to the credibility of the truth movement, and cost us a good relationship with C-Span.

WAQo, we were talking about flight 11 flying at 600 mph. I said flight 11 could not fly that speed at sea level.

At 20 June, 2011 12:58, Blogger WhyAskQuestions said...

The only reason and known fact why planes fly low at sea level is because they're making a LANDING.

Flight 11 & 175 weren't landing, were they goat fucker? No, they weren't!

So go take your sorry ass excuse: flight 11 could not fly that speed at sea level. somewhere else and stop harasing people here who proved how God damn stupid & retarded you are.

I have 4 hobbies: Civil War RE-enacting (which is quite fun and educational), building models, fishing and motorcycling.

If you mean needlepoint, I've been there done that.

You need a hobby other than coming here and giving us a shit story about 9/11. Get the fuck off the computer and do something, like fishing.

I have proven that Willie is a liar. Death statistics from the WTC show that only about 100 civilians died beneath the impact zones--most of them trapped in elevators or mobility impaired. If Willy's claim was true that his "Key of Hope" saved hundreds, then thousands should have died on the 129 floors beneath the impact zone that he never reached. They didn't. He lied.

Brian asked: "So what happened to WhyAskQuestions? It turns out his name is Wil Clark and he lives in Johnstown, PA. I can't find any evidence of his claimed association with FDNY--which probably explains his reluctance to give his name."

I said: Brian,

Do you have any idea that Christmas is only 1 week away? I have a friend that comes in from NY & he's an FDNY firefighter. You just managed to piss him off about him lying.

"He was going to call up Carol Brouillet. Maybe his interview with her didn't go well for him?"

Perhaps I didn't get around to calling her yet, numbnuts!

The Bible you turkeys consult about me is a fiction created by an anonymous internet poster, CBSF, as presented by the dishonest and incompetent scholar Kevin Barrett, that has no textual validity at all.
