I just can't in good concience believe my nation would do that so i shan't research it.
Okay. You admit you'd rather not know, and I accept that. i admire your honesty.
it happened in 1967 also - Lyndon B Johnson gave a direct order that the USS Liberty NOT be rescued - "I want that boat at the bottom of the g*ddamn sea", the transcript said.
1967 - Gulf of Tonken - same thing. Was just declassified.
You see Roosty, after 40 years they declassify these things, because by then, everyone involved is dead or senile. They'll do the same thing with 9/11, just so you know.
Self-attacks and "letting it happen so we can start a war" are common tactics that many nations use. They believe that a few lives lost justify actions which make life better for everyone else.
however, I admire your honestly. Remember one thing though - we're just talking history here. 911 is part of our history now. it's a fascinating subject and just like the Civil War or WWI, we can look at it with honest eyes and see what we can learn from it.
You can question and study 911 and still be a very devoted American.
