Was Iraq inevitable, regardless of whether it was a D or R in the White House? Or, would he have resisted and doubled down in Afghanistan?

    How could 4 planes crashing into 4 high profile targets, and a 5th crashing before it had the chance to hit its target, and then Al Qaeda explicitly taking credit, as well as 20 suicide hijackers with a coordinated plan having their identities revealed, be an accident?

    Because shit happens. You weren't there.

    Either there was a massive plan to carry out a massive attack (highly likely), or there was a massive plan to make a highly coincidental series of crashes into high profile targets seem like an orchestrated terrorist attack (highly unlikely). Either option involves a massive plan.

    Can you keep a secret between 20 friends? Coincidences happen.

        Nobody would do a bit about a tragedy of that scale. I'm purely questioning the nature of it. All five crashes were accidents. Al Qaeda are braggarts. Of course the hijackers had names, nationalities, and identities- they just had no association with each other and it was a complete coincidence that they were all on their respective planes. News pundits, wars, you know those people. It's disgusting they'd make a mountain out of a molehill.

            Those people are jokers. Fuck them.

            Five crashes can happen on accident. If they had all struck the same tower, sure. Two different towers that just happened to be in the same city? Three different buildings that just happened to be important symbols of America? A field? It's grasping at straws. You'd have to believe that there are 20 bad people out there AND they'd all know each other AND they had people to mastermind the operation. As for Al Qaeda, look how many things they take credit for. They just love to tell everyone how scary they are. It's pathetic.
