Ya, right - And what message did the awful, awful, evil, wicked United States get on 9/11/01 there buddy?

Does This Ring A Bell?

BTW: When was the last time Sydney's tallest buildings were blown out of the sky and over 3,000 Aussies were killed in one fell-swoop?

...Does This Ring A Bell?....

Yes, it rings a bell, but are you trying to use 911 as justification for nuking Iraq?

If 'yes', it's game, set and match to Osama.

There is a school of thought in the US Army Generals war college that the 2nd 9/11 blast was designed to use the jet fumes from the 1st plane to magnify the damage like was done in Chechnya.

So the second New York explosion was equal to a .5 kiloton blast if you look at the damage that was done to the area and the surrounding buildings.
