    No, I have no idea what pilots or planes you're talking about. If you're referring to the alleged 9/11 hijackers according to the official story, it's a story, nothing more, nothing less.

    Ah, a conspiracy theory.

    Agreed. In 2000 Total Military Spending was roughly 300 Billion. After 8 years of Bush it was over 900 Billion due attacking a country that had nothing to do with 911 and chasing after the Taliban in Afghanistan - who also had nothing to do with 911. Spending topped 1 Trillion under Obama.

    Had we maintained 2000 spending levels (increasing with inflation) we could have diverted 500 Billion/year x 16 years = 8 Trillion dollars to infrastructure, technology, ramping up our economy to compete in the third millennium.

    Perhaps Gore would have done something about the massive housing bubble and financial weapons of mass destruction that lead to the 2008 crash... leading to Trillions more in debt.

    Speaking of debt. Interest payments are currently 450 Billion/year ... x 16 years = another 7 Trillion.

    Bush was a nightmare.

    It really is something how his administration took us to war with seemingly no thought about how it would be financed. Was the thinking too wrapped up in the Dot Com Bubble and then the housing bubble, riding on false hopes of massive and unceasing growth to cover it all?

    I did not even get into the costs of dealing with all the injured (physically and psychologically). There were roughly 5000 killed but tens of thousands injured. During the Obama admin Total Military Spending maintained or increased but the DOD budget decreased ! This is because of the out of control increase in VA spending which ate up a larger share of the total pie.

    These costs carry on for decades.

    Kind of a shame that we even need the VA. With a good socialized medical system, everyone would be covered, veterans included. Shame we can't seem to have nice things.

    Did you find some awesome secret documents that MSM and sheeple ignore about the 9/11 hijackers as well?

    I already answered your theory based on my presumption.

    Good point. What is even more shameful is that we could have these "nice things" for less than we are currently paying. We have to keep the Oligarchs who own the healthcare Oligopoly happy ... they need the money more than we do.

    I can ! Saud is part of the Establishment. Always remember that it is the Establishment (Oligarchs/international financiers, political establishment, deep state) that controls the President and not the reverse.

    The US government has all the "awesome" secret documents, not me.

    There is approximately 570 cubic feet of textual records. A large percentage of the Commission's records are national security classified files.

    They only tell us what they want us to believe.

    They only tell us what they can safely reveal. That doesn't mean they're lying or conspiring against us. Remember, "they" are us; Americans who happen to work for the AMERICAN government.

    Thanks for confirming what I said. You're apparently one of their easier subjects. The US government is not me or "us" no matter how much you believe that nonsensical propaganda. If that were true, I would post every single "classified", "unsafe" document in a heartbeat for all Americans to read and let all the readers decide for themselves what's "safe" to know or not.

    You don't appreciate the intricacies of intelligence. Things are classified by our government for good reasons, none of which are to harm or deceive you or me. At least, not directly.

    You are misdirecting some kind of anger at our government. I used to be in your boat.

    It's really not necessary for you to keep confirming what I posted. If you believe you're convincing me of anything, I've been around for way too many decades to fall for this kind of childish mentality. I would be shocked if more than .0001% of what's classified is legitimately classified.



    It may be your government, it's not mine. The only legitimate US government is the one mandated by the Constitution, that doesn't exist (see your own avatar).

    And then they got to you. I can see that, it's more than obvious.

    Ignorance is your strength, yes. Childish mentality indeed.

    You're the one who insists that remaining ignorant is for your own safety.

    Correct, see above.

    We also know that Jeb and Kathy Harris threw over 50,000 eligible voters off the electoral rolls right at the last minute and that the cubans in Miami rioted and stopped the Dade recount when they realized that the count was going against the repubs.
