How Do We Win in Iraq?

Sorry, just didn't think it was very funny.

I'm not insulting you, Cyclops ... I'm messing with you. There's a difference.

This is the heart and sould of Tico's contribution to any thread. When his pathetic arguments fail, as inevitably they will, he attempts to sidetrack the discussion, and if possible, to raise the blood pressure of those participating. I've never yet seen him contribute anything of substance to a political discussion. He doesn't come here for that--he just comes here to bait people.

Let's see, you aren't being insulting, you aren't trying to be funny, what exactly are you trying to do?

I think I'll go back to saying piss off; sorry retracted!

that a handful of terrorists could defeat the triple-redundant, super-secure system of Air Defense of the most powerful nation on the planet and fly planes into 3 buildings, with no warning or fore knowledge thereof;

I care ... really, I do. But the purpose of your post was the baiting I was referring to.

It isn't a question of security in the cockpit, but of air traffic control security, NORAD, etc.

I don't buy the fact that we were running simulations that day, about planes being rammed into buildings, was a coincidence. I don't buy the fact that we would allow a plane to fly over washington, crash into the Pentagon (coulda been the WH!) and do nothing about it.

It seems much more likely to me that those who thought this might happen, and who had everything to gain from it happening, would let it happen.

And, I do mean everything to gain. In what way was America really hurt by 9/11? The answer is, in no way, really; so why would you believe that a man who is willing to start unneccessary wars and sacrifice GIs and Iraqi lives wouldn't do the same thing here in America, given the opportunity?

I understand that many don't want to even consider this possibility; that's fine, and we don't have to sit here and debate it. My purpose isn't to change anyone's mind on the issue, which is why you don't see me starting threads on the subject. But please don't accept the quasi-rational explanations which have been thrown out there for 9/11.
