Here we go again! How curious that the extremists of both "left" and "right" have come up with the same conspiracy theory. Alex Jones of Infowars/Prison Planet comes to mind. According to these people, only renegade nations and the "axis of evil" is capable of telling the truth.

If you go far enough right, or far enough left, you meet your enemy as an ally.

[putupjob]

Why not just delete the swill from these stupid kooks.

[atomicpossum]

What's Pat Robertson's view on THIS guy?

[Bosco]

When the Iranian nuclear research and development sites are taken out, they again will blame the USA. And for once, they will be right!

If you're claiming that the political world is a sphere revolving around a giant ball of flammable gas... I'd have to excommunicate you. ;-)

[MediaMole]

Thierry Meyssan really needs a good old fashioned American ass-kickin'.

[ChristianDefender]

Bush Was Directly Responsible "But if we examine the case more carefully, we see that this was not merely passive cooperation. Bush is directly responsible in this affair... Maybe not for all the incidents, but at least for the first.

Wut the heck... it's Bush's Fault Again!

Is that a photo of the French author Thierry Meyssan?
He doesn't look French to moi.

a giant ball of flammable gas

rotflmao! Wasn't it a French trespasser who said to King Arthur in that irreverent Monty Python movie, "I fart in your general direction"??? Flammable gas - the basis of the DNC mentality and platform, too! Oh, I forgot, (sarcasm) only the liberals are capable of "speaking truth to power."

What is it, a thousand or a million monkeys at keyboards will eventually come up with Shakespeare? You can't make up some of this stuff can you? Anyone with a rational or pragmatic brain can't think this stuff up.

And as was recently heard about Katrina, if manure was music, this would be a symphony.

Hamlet, IIRC.

>He doesn't look French to moi.<

At least, he looks like a poodle...an intoxicated poodle.

And to think all this time I thought it was the Israelis. </sarcasm>

This lunatic is a five-monkey job, tops.

If we examine the damage to the Pentagon, we conclude that this damage could not have been caused by a Boeing.

Such patent nonsense. So what happened to all the people on the plane that hit the Pentagon? Being hidden all this time in the basement?

[KarlInOhio]

Then the Pentagon affair occurs. Attacking the Pentagon with a plane or a missile poses one problem: There are missile launchers installed around the Pentagon and on the roof. If a plane, a missile, or anything enters the Pentagon's airspace, the missile launchers would be activated. They may not be able to intercept the relevant object, but a missile will be fired. Either somebody deactivated the Pentagon's missile system – and that means that somebody in the American military was responsible – or else there is another reason, a very simple one. All the armies in the world have systems to prevent 'friendly fire.' In missile and anti-missile systems, before [a missile] is fired, a radio-wave is sent to identify whether the object in question is 'friend' or 'foe.'

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Fortunately, Nature didn't waste one on Meyssan.

Even if the Pentagon had some air defense system on automatic (very unlikely), the landing pattern for Reagan National Airport is very close to the Pentagon (you don't aim missiles at planes hundreds of feet away, your target range is miles.) Therefore all airliners would have to have this IFF to avoid having dozens of aircraft shot down every day. So if hijackers were to take over a plane, they could get through the alleged air defense system.
