911 was in side job

[kirkslashable]

911 was inside job, just so that USA government had an excuse to send troops and develop military bases in Middle East.

@kirkslashable Not to mention all the oil and soldier taxes to be profited from.

Was this the same people on this page that claimed the world was going to die on December 10th? Oh no wait that was last October. Oh, oh wait! It was when the giant pink easter bunny comes From the moon to impregnate all the women!

If ignorance was bliss you people would be happy all the time! The man was handed a basket of crap. What do you expect him to say? You paranoid whiners can't handle the truth.

WTF, i can't believe he's still sticking to the obvious bs that 911 was done by some guy in a cave in Afghanistan. I can't believe they're still saying this lie. I thought it's obvious that most ppl know 911 was done by zionists in the US govt in conjunction with Israel and zionists in the financial sector of the US

[SouthernCross33]

In Australia we are told by our leaders that our best and bravest (literally,as most of our soldiers killed are sas etc, best of the best) are dying in Afghanistan fighting Al Qaeda,yet the US/NATO have just armed and helped Al Qaeda kill Gadaffi and70,000 innocent civilians in Libya. This is evidenced by Al Qaeda flying their flag over the courthouse in Bengazi. I wish someone would ask Obama wtf is that about. US/NATO countires are hypocrites and liars,it's all about theft and occupation

Somebody make my day and throw a pie in this fucker's face.

Do se anyone belive we have won over the Iraqi/Afgani people to our way of looking at Demacratic government? They are from a completely opposite culture , they can't just change because we will it so .. They have lived under a dictator/ totalitarian rullers thier whole lives , why would they understand free will , democracey , voting , or any other American concept . This is just the beguinning of more problems ..not the end there .Prventative War is immoral and foolish .

911 was an inside job ! and sorry to say you, Mr Obama, you can't handle the truth. You can't protect and defend the US constitution from inside enemies. And that's in your job description.
