#1 7 Degrees of separation... the backbone of all good conspiracies. If they can only hold your attention long enough, the connection of anything to anyone can be established.

I think 9/11 actualy was rooted in an event in NYC back in 1965 when William Paley, CEO and Flounder (L intentional) of CBS decided, on a whim mind you, to go see the Rockettes. You see there was this long-stem lady he use to engage on Tuesdays between the noon and 4 PM shows whose uncle used a dry cleaner who had a car with a broken gas gauge and the Saudi gas would run out, pissing him off - so he write a letter to King Abdul Aziz and tells him to kiss my hairy ass you Wahhabi goat-fucker, but the King couldn't read it and one of his sons, the crazy fucker called Nayef who used to set cats on fire and kick puppies and baby ducks decided he wanted to translate it. He's been really really pissed ever since, so when this really really sick fuck named Osama bin Laden came to his attention, well, he figured it was payback time.

And that's how it goes.

#2 The rise of fundamentalist Islamism has been well documented by many experts on middle eastern affairs.

Its roots are well known and stretch back long beyond the Reagan era.

Bill Plante just displayed his own ignorance, nothing else.

#4 Damnit, .com, you left out the black helicopters, the Illuminati, Lee Harvey Oswald, the Hapsburg restorationists, the little green men in Roswell, the secret Irish Catholic demographic conspiracy for world domination, and the fluoride in our water. And you call yourself a conspiracy theorist? Hah!

(Just kidding, of course!)

#5 The only "blemish" that could even be remotely connected to 9/11/2001 is the pullout following the Marine barracks bombing, and that's only one event out of many that convinced Binny that we didn't have the stomach for a fight. Iran-contra was just a sideshow.

#6 I haven't had much use for CBS since I realized that Walter Cronkite shamelessly abused his position as "the most trusted man in America" to shill for the Democrats. He was the best they had. It's been all downhill since.

#7 personally i did not see a problem with iran/contra deal...we rippped off the iranians for millions, which allowed them to kill bathists, gave the money to anti-marxist rebels which helped boot the sandinista's from power and had our people released...and remember the majority of hostages were taken before and not after this deal....

#8 If it wasn't for JAG I would not watch CBS at all.

#9 Dan-
Righto! We encouraged Iraq and Iran to take out their expansionist bloodthirst on each other instead of decimating the rest of the ME. Darn smart realpolitik at it's best.

#10 I'm with Dan. I thought the Iran/Contra deal was a win/win and still do. 'Debacle' my arse!

#11 I blame Thomas Jefferson since he sent the Marines in against the Barbary pirates in, what, 1785?
Yar!
