What are the chances that the US Gov't was complicit with the 9/11 attacks?

Don't worry, I support that notion 100%.  When the government trashes and hides every piece of forensic evidence, then all you have is:\n\n1) Means\nBush and cronies definitely had the means to pull this off with aplomb, from remote guidance systems in use on many UAV's (like our Predator Drone) to conveniently having no less than 3 drills that very morning dealing with airliners crashing into towers to confuse folks ("We never dreamed the terrorists would do that...").  On the other side you have 19 arab farm boys that couldn't collectively get a Cessna off the ground...nope.\n\n2) Motive\nMy god how Bush and cronies benefitted through so many different ways, from insider trading before 9/11, to military contracts, to settling scores with governments not "conducive" to our oil strategy...and the terrorists were bombed to hell.  Hrm...\n\n3) Eyewitness and Expert Testimony\nPopular Mechanics (exposed for the propoganda piece it is here: http://911review.com/pm/markup/index.html#intercepts ) notwithstanding...You have about 75 out of 500 recorded testimonies of firefighters at Ground Zero reporting on "bombs", "demolition rings", and "shockwaves".\n\nUnfortunately, even the thought that our benevolent government that only has your safety and best interests at heart being the perpetrator of such attacks is too horrible to contemplate, regardless of running a few facts through a common sense meter.  I know mine was definitely going off as the media reported the ready "official story" before the second plane even hit.

The thing that scares me is what if the gov't saw all of the dandruff and told us to run out and buy plastic and duct tape claiming that it was a terrorist attack?  :)

I believe that Bin Laden was responsible for the attacks, yes. Unfortunately, people have (a reasonable) tendency to question anything 'official' or 'government-related', so they turn to explanations involving aliens, missiles, CIA, Freemasons, and the Mossad.\n\nHere's the thing : Why the hell would a country send four airplanes to smash into their own buildings, and to kill their own people? That's just stupid.\nAnd if the government is lying, then what happened to the victims? The planes? Saying "it's a conspiracy" tells the families of the dead, and the survivors, that they died for nothing.

As a very good 9/11 researcher once said "I seek to establish the conspiracy FACTS not "conspiracy theory".  There is literally a mountain of physical and scientific evidence to counter the "official 9/11" story, far more than necessary to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was not the way the official report says it happened.  There's also many in various industries and our government that benefitted tremendously from the aftermath of 9/11.\n\nThose that hold to the belief that "our government could never do such a thing" forget that in our history it has done such things before and it is well-documented fact.  People that choose to remain willfully ignorant just don't want to shatter their thin bubble of belief, if our members of our government were indeed complicit in such a tragedy, "something" would then need to be done and their whole world view that had been established for the last 4 years would crumble.  Their very identity as Americans, being good vs the evil, would crash down like a house of cards.  They would have to admit they had been lied to and they fell for it...better to keep your head buried in the sand.

Here is a perfect example.  Check out page 3 of the report below.\n\nCompletely setting my political views aside if 9/11 hadn't happened there is no way that Bush would now be our president.\n\nThat being said I think whatever benefit he got from 9/11 has been eaten up in the last year or so.

Come on, anybody that really knows the facts know that the goverment had something to do with the towers! Maybe not bringing them down but maybe allowing them to be hit! DO YOU REALLY TRUST BUSH AND CREW AFTER ALL THEY ARE BEING CAUGHT DOING LATELY?

NO.  President Bush is just a talking head puppet if you will for forces that control all governments.  I don't think the terrorist identified were responsible or had the resources to pull off an attack like that.  Our government is definitely covering up what happened that day.  There is overwhelming evidence to support that it was an inside job.  I don't think Bush is directly responsible but probably knows what happened.  Any agency or government institution that aids in the cover up or conceals evidence indirectly implies guilt.  They needed a new Pearl Harbor to gain support for there agenda.  Who knows who these behind the scenes people are and exactly what there up to

that the u.s. government helped plan and carry out the attacks on 9/11.  it's my favorite because it's true, and because people ought to know.  here's the evidence:\n\nthey think they'll get away with it because they know people are afraid to admit that they believe in a conspiracy.  to quote v for vendetta; "if our government was responsible for the deaths of thousands of our own citizens, would you really want to know?"

The way the US is conducting it now, there is almost no value at all.\nWe are so enept and politicized it is not even funny. \nWith the same administration in power that allowed 9/11 to happen - I have low expectations much will be accomplished.

Well the key word in there is 'we'. Even if our government was able to determine the true origin of a staged t. attack, I'm sure 'we', the public, would never be told.\n\nAs for whether or not it is possible: sure.

when in doubt bring up 9/11.

Indirectly I think maybe he did, with what happened with 9/11 and how Bush handled it.  I never looked at something like that.

There is NO DOUBT in my mind that the US government was behind it! Who benefited MOST from it. Bush got his war, the "Military Industrial Complex" is making hundreds of BILLIONS, Osama got away with it and is a martar to his followers. \n\nSome people will never believe no matter what the facts show. The same kinds of tactics have been used for hundreds of years. The German people didn't believe it in the 1930s & 40s either, and many still don't. But it happened.\n\nCalling people "conspiracy nuts" for entertaining the idea of OUR government being corrupt, doesn't change the fact that it ALWAYS has been. Some folks just refuse to consider such things. \n\nDoubters explain this: \n\nHow is it that burning jet fuel does NOT burn hot enough to melt steel, yet that is the "Official" explaination for the collapses of all 3 WTC buildings?\n\nWhy did the towers fall STRAIGHT DOWN? Physics would dictate that if the top was too heavy for the damaged area, it would have fallen to one side. \n\nWhy were police and firemen quoted as saying they witnessed multiple explosions in several locations (including in the basement) many far from the impact area. One so large it was measured on a reichter scale nearly 100 miles away.\n\nWhy did WTC building 7 go down? It was not hit and sustained very little damage from a fire in a small area of one floor.\n\nWhy did the owner of the buildings tell the FDNY to "pull" the building? It takes weeks to prep a building for demolition, yet they had it wired with explosives and leveled by 8 pm on september 11th.\n\nThese are the ONLY modern high rise building IN HISTORY to be brought down by fire!\n\nSo before discounting it offhand, at least try to answer the questions being raised.

Well, it is more than just a terrorists attack; it is more likely to a government covering up its own agenda by blaming a '' foreign terrorists '' to justify its own acts for the benefits of few men.\nThere are few books which we need to read before making any judgment on '' WHO '' was behind 9/11, like:\n-The Terror Timeline : Year by Year, Day by Day, Minute by Minute: A Comprehensive Chronicle of the Road to 9/11--and America's Response\n-The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11\n-The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions And Distortions\n-The 9/11 Commission Report: Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (Authorized Edition)\n\nOr you can log on to the following links:\nhttp://www.reopen911.org\nhttp://www.erichufschmid.net\nhttp://www.hugequestions.com\n\nOr watch the video called ''Confronting the Evidence'' \n\nBefore making any judgment, check and double check your information resources and make sure that they are reliable then ask: Who is the beneficiary from 9/11 events, How he or they did it and the most important thing is '' Why ''.\n\nAlso, it is more logical to ask the people in charge of the country's security why and how they let these events to happen. Could they were be able to stop these events from happing?\n\nPresident Clinton has been investigated just for what was claimed as his Sexual adventure, but President Bush is out of any kind of investigations even that there were more than 4000 victims in these events.\n\nBlaming the others is very easy for some people; those type of people don’t have the courage to confront them selves with the truth and the facts.

It's not that it's convincing by itself. It's just that it ties in with what we heard on 9/11 in terms of news (much of which may have been unconfirmed). People make that connection between what they remember seeing in the news that day and what the government is telling us now and assume that because two sources are confirming the story, it must be true.

I have not seen this but i can only imagine the theory behind 9/11.  I know that it was not by accident that the twin towers came a tumblin down...but i also know that it would never have happened if the gov't wasn't in on it. It is just to tragic and too big of a game for it to happen on American soil.

This is a very true possibility because there is actual proof of the government hiding what happend on that day... if you recall a plane had also hit the pentagon as well as the towers right... negative there was no plane wreckage at that site. what had actualy hit it was a missle. and the government wants us to believe that it was a plan to not cause panic.
