Irrelevant to my point. Wasn't aware the US government was bankrupt as well. Good to know. I should run and tell everyone holding Treasuries. Where did this idea that the two wars destroyed our economy come from? They might have been a giant waste of time and money but it is completely untrue.

Two wars cost us 7 trillion dollars...what are our achievements in these two wars? We tucked our tails between our legs and ran out of Iraq and about to do the same in Afghanistan...that's a nice return on our investment right?...You defend this Crap means you a c00n...

The wars were a colossal mistake. They had nothing to do with the economy going to shyt, though. Make better arguments. You sound like an idiot.

Mistakes have costs...You saying mistake as if we just chose the wrong answer on a multiple choice question...the wars cost us trillions in money, thousands in lives, our respect around the world, in most circles we're seen as the aggressor not a savior...we lost more than money and dats not just a mistake..

I was sitting in a lounge as a trainee to become an EMT. We were watching some game show when my supervisor came in shouting that the WTC was on fire. We turned to Channel 4 to watch it. As the footage was being televised, we heard the newscaster saying something to the effect that they had reports that a plane had crashed into the building. 10 minutes later, we saw the second plane crash into the second tower.
Peeps actually started crying. I just watched in disbelief. Couldn't really wrap my head around what I was seeing, but, out of the blue, I said 'They're gonna come down.'
30 or so minutes later.........
The dispatcher then got on the loudspeaker in the lounge and we headed up to NYC. The authorities were asking for EVERYBODY in the area to lend assistance. I'd never driven that fast in my life, breh. In a damned ambulance, doing over 100 MPH, lights and sirens blaring, straight up the NJ Turnpike as part of a gigantic convoy of emergency vehicles.
Spent 3 days up there helping sift through rubble and look for survivors with about 3 hours sleep, total. All I found was a finger, a wallet, and a pair of glasses. Luckily, I was wearing a respirator or I'd be one of the folks dying from inhaling those chemicals, like 3 of the dudes I worked with.
This event pretty much deaded my thoughts about becoming an EMT. Only thing worse was what I saw during Desert Storm and I was nowhere near any actual combat.
If you wonder why I go so hard on Conspiracy Theorists regarding this incident, now you know why. I needed answers, I found them after a couple years' research.
Those clowns need to do the same.

RIP to all the victims. I read somewhere that the victims spirit knew they were gonna go through this and it was their purpose.
I had the same experience. I heard all the conspiracy babble a while after 9/11 and was willing to believe it, it didn't take long to refute everything people were saying. But, I understand why people were so wiling to believe it all because shyt Bush and the MSM basically sold us a bullshyt Iraq invasion which was just as unbelievable.
They've been doing a lot of retrospectives on the news today. Man seeing those buildings come down again 
Crazy to think that actually happened

The total lack of evidence for an Iraqi connection to the attacks is a great argument for the attacks being real.
Imagine Bush and his people somehow pulling off this massive conspiracy to blow up the towers as an excuse for going to war with Iraq, but somehow forgetting to include the slightest bit of evidence connecting the attack to Iraq. If the whole Osama plot was fake, then why didn't he invent a fake Saddam plot instead? If all the Saudi hijackers were fake, then why not fake Iraqi hijackers instead?
The case for connecting the attacks to Iraq was so fukking weak. Makes no sense to go to all that trouble to pull off a seamless conspiracy and then not even try on one of the easiest parts. You wouldn't even have to prove anything, you could say it was all classified intel.
