I'm actually not 100% sold on the full blown conspiracy myself. I think there is no doubt that 9/11 is quite suspicious and was incredibly convenient, even if somehow only coincidently so. There are so many oddities and red flags surrounding the attacks that sometimes it seems like a slam-dunk against the Bush administration, but the topic is also so incredibly enigmatic and labyrinthian. It's hard to trust anyone on this matter frankly. Thanks for your comment. I look forward to discussing more on the topic. I totally agree with you Alex.

Josh I think you have been on a similar journey to myself with regards to 'waking up' and seeing the deception in our governments. I was also pro-war, pro-life (as in first 9 months), our leaders have our best interests at heart etc... But the sums don't add up, and whereas others are happy to see the figures massaged and just move on, I like you, stopped and began to question, peel back the surface and see the infestation underneath. For what it's worth, I'm still not yet sold on the conspiracy theory but I'm looking forward to this conclusion. However, fully with you on everything else and I believe without a doubt (as the recent Clinton interview on Fox Sunday has confirmed) that before 9/11 the GOP did nothing with the intelligence it had- that they were warned and decided maybe to 'let it play out' as it would make an argument for war very easy. In fact considering Bushes response when first alerted that morning of 9/11, you could almost guess what was going through his head- was it that he was expecting an attack but nothing on that scale. Perhaps they were hoping for a small scale attack- like an embassy or something, which would justify their war plans? I want to make clear that's all speculation on my part though... Timmah makes a good point there.

That second quote you provided is a glaring example of such. Instead of taking to task the actualy argument that people have constructed using various "facts" or data, they make sweeping statements about our "subconscious desires," whatever that may mean. It's funny how they are more able to tell what our "subconcious" wants than ourselves. From whence did they acquire this particular gift to peer into the impenetrable depths of one's soul? Hmm...I think that's what I'm going to do from now on. From this point forward, I shant waste my time dealing arguments in typical riposte style, but shall simply wave my hand in dismissal declaring, "Bah! Tis' merely the yearnings of your subconscious in an attempt to make up for the deficiency of your naively held beliefs. Perhaps one day you will have an awakening, a whitening of the soul, as Carl Jung might have put it."
