Theory that U.S. orchestrated Sept. 11 attacks 'not absurd': Venezuela CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - President Hugo Chavez said Tuesday that it's at least plausible that the U.S. government was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks.
Chavez did not specifically accuse the U.S. government of having a hand in the Sept. 11 attacks, but rather suggested that theories of U.S. involvement bear examination.
The Venezuelan leader, an outspoken critic of U.S. President George W. Bush, was reacting to a television report investigating a theory that the Twin Towers were brought down with explosives after hijacked airplanes crashed into them in 2001.
"The hypothesis is not absurd . . . that those towers could have been dynamited," Chavez said in a speech to supporters. "A building never collapses like that, unless it's with an implosion."
"The hypothesis that is gaining strength . . . is that it was the same U.S. imperial power that planned and carried out this terrible terrorist attack or act against its own people and against citizens of all over the world," Chavez said.
"Why? To justify the aggressions that immediately were unleashed on Afghanistan, on Iraq."
Chavez has said the U.S. launched those wars to ensure its political and economic power.
The U.S. government says al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden masterminded the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
"A plane supposedly crashed into the Pentagon, but no one ever found a single remnant of that plane," Chavez said, citing a television program he had seen on Venezuela's state television.
Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro raised the same theories in an earlier speech Tuesday, and called for an independent investigation.
"It's really worrisome to think that all of that could have been a great conspiracy against humanity," Maduro said. "An independent international investigation must be carried out one day to discover the truth about the events of Sept. 11."
Huey's engineering degree is on a par with Kim Il Jung's golf game. It's simply astounding how these great men can be virtuosi in so many areas.
Hugo called Rush's show yesterday. His accent is really improving.
If Kruschev had offered us heating oil after he finished pounding his shoe on the podium and telling is he would bury all of our children would we have accepted? If today's demo/socialists were in charge you can bet we would.
Nobody has ever explained, how Bush would find 19 arab men to hijack plains to give us justification to go bombing through the middle east, or why 19 arab men would agree to it. But hey we can throw logic out the window with these conspiracy nuts.
Theory that Chavez is a raving lunatic 'not absurd'.
Wrongo, he has a RED fax machine linked to Screamin' Howard Dean's machine.
Excuse me while I go wipe the smile off my face.
CARTER: "Hugo, I love you!"
Here's another good place for debunking:

LOL, yeah me too. I feel like the whole world just changed.
Wonder when some of our favorite lefty congress critters will be headed down to visit ole' Hugo? 60 Minutes might even decide to send the perky one down there if they can guarantee her safety.
President Chavez went on to cite recent publications in the technical literature on controlled explosions written by C. Sheehan and C. McKinney.
Good one. So, what so they say?
President Hugo Chavez, yet again, reveals himself to be a conspiracy mongering moonbat.
If you believe the government can do anything, then you have to believe that the government either demolished the World Trade Center towers of purposefully allowed them to be demolished. The fact that moonbats are prone to idiotic conspiracy theories about the government is due to the fact that they have a fundamental misunderstanding about the role and power of government.
If he, and other Liberals, can't see how absurd his absurd 'not absurd' statement is after reading this, I'm afraid he and they are just absurdly absurd, and to think otherwise is just absurd.
Can you even imagine if a dictator, communist or terrorist enemy of America agreed with a conservative idea?
I think I would distance myself from them and seriously rethink my postion. I'll wait for the liberal moonbats to do so............well, no use waiting for something that will never come.
"Theory that Chavez is a feckless crapweasel is plausible" Millions who have been interviewed say that they think Venezuela strongman, Hugo Chavez, is as irrelevent as tits on a boar hog. They strongly believe in his ascention to the level of feckless crapweasel. Film at 11:00.
Gosh... another world genius who has figured out that control of Afghanistan was the key to world domination. And to think that all those sci-fi movies ever worried about were nuclear destruction and blackmail.
I can't wait until after the elections and GWB can turn Rove loose with even more diabolical schemes. Pretty smart for a dumb f***.
I guess Hugo realized after the eighteen billionth time that he claimed that the US was planning to invade Venezuela that people started to call him the boy who cried wolf.
He is consistent at least, he keeps the standard "hey look at the big evil US" while he consolidates power and crushes Venezuelan democracy and drives the economy and social conditions to ruin in his pursuit of a "bolivarian (stalinist) revolution".
I guess if I were Hugo I would be trying to distract his folks from the sextupled inflation, 90,000 violent crime related deaths, and a failing medical system since his takeover in 1998.
Ah well, not like he is going anywhere with the CNE and Supreme Courts in his pocket. If he was truly afraid of his electoral opponents he would actually be actively campaigning against them, so far he is basically ignoring them.
The only thing that will remove Chavez from power is a coup. Like Castro, he will never lose another "election".
