Reminds me of that scene in the Big Lebowski...

I was being generous to you there, mind. I didn't even bother to count the 500,000 Iraqi Citizens that Hussein murdered while in power.

All together, these numbers leave us with around; 2,553,500 (Over Two and half MILLION people) as well as the (minimum) of 100,000 who died in the Iraq War itself; which Hussein practically begged us for with his repeated insults to International Law, especially the Geneva Convention.

Go back to school kid.

@gunterdak (con'3)...verified, this evidence made classified and somehow us seeing it a threat to US national security!?! seismic readings for all three tower collapses not consistent with those tonnages falling at those velocities and 220X 1 acre floors of steel and concrete producing an appx' knee high rubble pile! Can you give me the name of one of one of the "majority of scientists" who buy the official 9/11 story so I can challenge him/her with this data? organ grinders not monkeys I say!

[TODB0AMER]

@gunterdak (con'2)... anomalies include alleged flight 175 photographed NOT having regular Boeing 767 underside, the pre impact flash consistent with DU tipped missiles, no 20ft diameter exit hole consistent with object of F175's dimensions and trajectory exiting the south tower visible in that side of WTC2, the impact silhouette of alleged flight11 forming six seconds post impact in unmarked north tower fascia, no WTC alleged plane black box recovered and no salvaged 911 plane part ever (con')

@gunterdak (con')... thin aluminium craft can pass through 1 acre of steel and concrete (at questionable for sea level speeds) as if passing through air,zero deceleration no pieces breaking off at impact and leaving no evidence in the impact holes. (this was true for all 4" 9/11 plane" impact holes) Equally odd, alleged flight 175 was filmed from several angles nosecone and fuselage exiting the south tower intact, even you can't dispute the physical impossibility of this occurring. Other..(con)

@gunterdak lots of "witnesses " saw many contradictory things! there was 'Harley T-shirt man" doing a vox pop that resembled (and likely was) an infomercial for the official BS and, of course, GWBush (el pretzeldente) even saw flight 11 hit the north tower on a monitor before going into the classroom to read a book entitled 'My Pet Goat' , this wasn't seen on TV until the following day but he's never retracted this dubious claim has he?.I've yet had it explained to me how a plastic tipped(con')

[gunterdak]

@TODB0AMER No why don't you answer my questions, squirt?

[gunterdak]

@TODB0AMER I told you my definitive truth. I guess you were not paying attention. The truth is that thousands saw the planes hit, the buildings collapsed as a result, and the overwhelming majority of structural engineers and experts agree that's all there is to it. The fact that a tiny minority believe that there is something else going on should not convince a rational person of anything. A tiny minority of scientists still believe that global warming is a hoax.
