Microphones hidden in the Oval Office recorded a disturbing conversation in the White House Oval Office from back in February of 2001. The conversation was recently transcribed and I present it here for you to read.
BUSH: So, what?s the plan again?
CHENEY: Well, we need to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. So what we?ve decided to do is crash a whole bunch of remote-controlled planes into Wall Street and the Pentagon, say they?re real hijacked commercial planes, and blame it on the towelheads; then we?ll just blow up the buildings ourselves to make sure they actually fall down.
RUMSFELD: Right! And we?ll make sure that some of the hijackers are agents of Saddam Hussein! That way we?ll have no problem getting the public to buy the invasion.
CHENEY: No, Don, we won?t.
RUMSFELD: We won?t?
CHENEY: No, that?s too obvious. We?ll make the hijackers Al Qaeda and then just imply a connection to Iraq.
RUMSFELD: But if we?re just making up the whole thing, why not just put Saddam?s fingerprints on the attack?
CHENEY: (sighing) It just has to be this way, Don. Ups the ante, as it were. This way, we?re not insulated if things go wrong in Iraq. Gives us incentive to get the invasion right the first time around.
RUMSFELD: Can we at least say that Iraq has WMD?s?
CHENEY: Sure, I suppose, although I really don?t see the purpose.
BUSH: I?m a total idiot who can barely read, so I?ll buy that. But I?ve got a question. Why do we need to crash planes into the Towers at all? Since everyone knows terrorists already tried to blow up that building complex from the ground up once, why don?t we just blow it up like we plan to anyway, and blame the bombs on the terrorists?
RUMSFELD: Mr. President, you don?t understand. It?s much better to sneak into the buildings ourselves in the days before the attacks, plant the bombs and then make it look like it was exploding planes that brought the buildings down. That way, we involve more people in the plot, stand a much greater chance of being exposed and needlessly complicate everything!
CHENEY: Of course, just toppling the Twin Towers will never be enough. No one would give us the war mandate we need if we just blow up the Towers. Clearly, we also need to shoot a missile at a small corner of the Pentagon to create a mightily underpublicized additional symbol of international terrorism -- and then, obviously, we need to fake a plane crash in the middle of ******* nowhere in rural Pennsylvania.
RUMSFELD: Yeah, it goes without saying that the level of public outrage will not be sufficient without that crash in the middle of ******* nowhere.
CHENEY: And the Pentagon crash -- we?ll have to do it in broad daylight and say it was a plane, even though it?ll really be a cruise missile.
BUSH: Wait, why do we have to use a missile?
CHENEY: Because it?s much easier to shoot a missile and say it was a plane. It?s not easy to steer a real passenger plane into the Pentagon. Planes are hard to come by.
BUSH: But aren?t we using two planes for the Twin Towers?
CHENEY: Mr. President, you?re missing the point. With the Pentagon, we use a missile, and say it was a plane.
BUSH: Right, but I?m saying, why don?t we just use a plane and say it was a plane? We?ll be doing that with the Twin Towers, right?
CHENEY: Right, but in this case, we use a missile. (Throws hands up in frustration) Don, can you help me out here?
RUMSFELD: Mr. President, in Washington, we use a missile because it?s sneakier that way. Using an actual plane would be too obvious, even though we?ll be doing just that in New York.
BUSH: Oh, OK.
RUMSFELD: The other good thing about saying that it was a passenger jet is that that way, we have to invent a few hundred fictional victims and account for a nonexistent missing crew and plane. It?s always better when you leave more cover story to invent, more legwork to do and more possible holes to investigate. Doubt, legwork and possible exposure -- you can?t pull off any good conspiracy without them.
BUSH: You guys are brilliant! Because if there?s one thing about Americans -- they won?t let a president go to war without a damn good reason. How could we ever get the media, the corporate world and our military to endorse an invasion of a secular Iraqi state unless we faked an attack against New York at the hands of a bunch of Saudi religious radicals? Why, they?d never buy it. Look at how hard it was to get us into Vietnam, Iraq the last time, Kosovo?
CHENEY: Like pulling teeth!
RUMSFELD: Well, I?m sold on the idea. Let?s call the Joint Chiefs, the FAA, the New York and Washington, D.C., fire departments, Rudy Giuliani, all three networks, the families of a thousand fictional airline victims, MI5, the FBI, FEMA, the NYPD, Larry Eagleburger, Osama bin Laden, Noam Chomsky and the fifty thousand other people we?ll need to pull this off. There isn?t a moment to lose!
BUSH: Don?t forget to call all of those Wall Street hotshots who donated $100 million to our last campaign. They?ll be thrilled to know that we?ll be targeting them for execution as part of our thousand-tentacled modern-day bonehead Reichstag scheme! After all, if we?re going to make martyrs -- why not make them out of our campaign paymasters? ****, didn?t the Merrill Lynch guys say they needed a refurbishing in their New York offices?
RUMSFELD: Oh, they?ll get a refurbishing, all right. Just in time for the "Big Wedding"!
ALL THREE: (cackling) Mwah-hah-hah!

@Fatal Freedoms,
This should have been put in "Humor."

@Fatal Freedoms,
We know, that's what makes it funny.
@DiversityDriven,
I tire of playing your immature 'back and forth' game.
@Fatal Freedoms,
Please tell me you don't honestly think this is true. I'm just saying, your true intent would be less confusing if it were in "Humor."
@Fatal Freedoms,
there's no supporting news article or documentation so it's either humor or it's locked

SERIOUSLY!? :wtf:
If you have difficultly detecting the humor in this there is something seriously wrong with you!

There is something seriously wrong with you if you are unable to comprehend that Humor is where jokes are supposed to go.

What's childish about wanting threads to go in their proper places for organizational purposes?

For fucks sake does it really matter in the least what ******* thread i chose to put this in!? Your nit-picking is really annoying and draws away from the actual topic. Do you talk just to hear yourself speak? :dunno:

Posting is preceded by typing, so I can't hear myself speak. The actual topic is that this is a mediocre at best
joke.

It was not intended as a joke, it was intended to show the ridiculousness of the "9/11 truth". But good job at making yourself look like a jackass :thumbup:
