This film was absolutely stunning to see. That fireman's reaction.
The shock and horror. The doom. The dozens of people hanging from

fatal toxic debris. The sheer gallantry and heroism of the rescue
workers.

How fatal was that announcement telling people to "remain calm stay
at your desks." Many who survived did because they ignored that
order.


She genuinely had no idea that people, caught between burning or
suffocating to death or jumping to their deaths had jumped and that
it was all caught on film.

That situation would not have occurred if the architects and engineers
had done their job properly. High-rise buildings, where escape by
stairs is impractical, are required to have segregation to prevent the
spread of fire, and fire lifts, emergency lighting and other services
which will continue working no matter what, to allow escape.

Of course these won't help if the building suffers catastrophic
structural failure, but that had never happened before to a
skyscraper, and short of a nuclear explosion, is only going to happen
with the planned use of demolition charges throughout the structure...

There are a lot of unanswered questions about the 11th September
"attacks", look up the 'Reichstag Fire', we've been there before.

Actually, a tape found after the events explains them far better. It turns
out President Nixon left one of his tape recorders running after taping a
conversation about the faked moon landings you totally clueless ****ing
moron.

BUSH: So, what's the plan again?

CHENEY: Well, we need to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. So what we've decided
to do is crash a whole bunch of remote-controlled planes into Wall Street
and the Pentagon, say they're real hijacked commercial planes, and blame it
on the towelheads; then we'll just blow up the buildings ourselves to make
sure they actually fall down.

RUMSFELD: Right! And we'll make sure that some of the hijackers are agents
of Saddam Hussein! That way we'll have no problem getting the public to buy
the invasion.

CHENEY: No, Dick, we won't.

RUMSFELD: We won't?

CHENEY: No, that's too obvious. We'll make the hijackers Al Qaeda and then
just imply a connection to Iraq.

RUMSFELD: But if we're just making up the whole thing, why not just put
Saddam's fingerprints on the attack?

CHENEY: (sighing) It just has to be this way, Dick. Ups the ante, as it
were. This way, we're not insulated if things go wrong in Iraq. Gives us
incentive to get the invasion right the first time around.

BUSH: I'm a total idiot who can barely read, so I'll buy that. But I've got
a question. Why do we need to crash planes into the Towers at all? Since
everyone knows terrorists already tried to blow up that building complex
from the ground up once, why don't we just blow it up like we plan to
anyway, and blame the bombs on the terrorists?

RUMSFELD: Mr. President, you don't understand. It's much better to sneak
into the buildings ourselves in the days before the attacks, plant the bombs
and then make it look like it was exploding planes that brought the
buildings down. That way, we involve more people in the plot, stand a much
greater chance of being exposed and needlessly complicate everything!

CHENEY: Of course, just toppling the Twin Towers will never be enough. No
one would give us the war mandate we need if we just blow up the Towers.
Clearly, we also need to shoot a missile at a small corner of the Pentagon
to create a mightily underpublicized additional symbol of international
terrorism -- and then, obviously, we need to fake a plane crash in the
middle of f***ing nowhere in rural Pennsylvania.

RUMSFELD: Yeah, it goes without saying that the level of public outrage will
not be sufficient without that crash in the middle of f***ing nowhere.

CHENEY: And the Pentagon crash -- we'll have to do it in broad daylight and
say it was a plane, even though it'll really be a cruise missile.

BUSH: Wait, why do we have to use a missile?

CHENEY: Because it's much easier to shoot a missile and say it was a plane.
It's not easy to steer a real passenger plane into the Pentagon. Planes are
hard to come by.

BUSH: But aren't we using two planes for the Twin Towers?

CHENEY: Mr. President, you're missing the point. With the Pentagon, we use a
missile, and say it was a plane.

BUSH: Right, but I'm saying, why don't we just use a plane and say it was a
plane? We'll be doing that with the Twin Towers, right?

CHENEY: Right, but in this case, we use a missile. (Throws hands up in
frustration) Don, can you help me out here?

RUMSFELD: Mr. President, in Washington, we use a missile because it's
sneakier that way. Using an actual plane would be too obvious, even though
we'll be doing just that in New York.
BUSH: Oh, OK.

RUMSFELD: The other good thing about saying that it was a passenger jet is
that that way, we have to invent a few hundred fictional victims and account
for a nonexistent missing crew and plane. It's always better when you leave
more cover story to invent, more legwork to do and more possible holes to
investigate. Doubt, legwork and possible exposure -- you can't pull off any
good conspiracy without them.

BUSH: You guys are brilliant! Because if there's one thing about
Americans -- they won't let a president go to war without a damn good
reason. How could we ever get the media, the corporate world and our
military to endorse an invasion of a secular Iraqi state unless we faked an
attack against New York at the hands of a bunch of Saudi religious radicals?
Why, they'd never buy it. Look at how hard it was to get us into Vietnam,
Iraq the last time, Kosovo?

CHENEY: Like pulling teeth!

RUMSFELD: Well, I'm sold on the idea. Let's call the Joint Chiefs, the FAA,
the New York and Washington, D.C., fire departments, Rudy Giuliani, all
three networks, the families of a thousand fictional airline victims, MI5,
the FBI, FEMA, the NYPD, Larry Eagleburger, Osama bin Laden, Noam Chomsky
and the fifty thousand other people we'll need to pull this off. There isn't
a moment to lose!

BUSH: Don't forget to call all of those Wall Street hotshots who donated
$100 million to our last campaign. They'll be thrilled to know that we'll be
targeting them for execution as part of our thousand-tentacled modern-day
bonehead Reichstag scheme! After all, if we're going to make martyrs -- why
not make them out of our campaign paymasters? ****, didn't the Merrill Lynch
guys say they needed a refurbishing in their New York offices?

RUMSFELD: Oh, they'll get a refurbishing, all right. Just in time for the
"Big Wedding"!

ALL THREE: (cackling) Mwah-hah-hah!
