I know we shot that plane down, but in this context it looks like a simple misstatement.

He said "they" shot down the plane. "They" in this case would really be "us" if Rummy was speaking any bit of truth. "They" made us shoot down the plane, but "they" certainly did not shoot the plane down themselves.

The fact that so many people don't believe him and are willing to call him on this is a tremendous indictment of Rumsfeld. He's finished. Or at least in a reality-based administration he would be.

Its really a statement of how many people WANT to believe this to be true, instead of the horrific facts that are the truth. If it was Rummy and friends, it seems more actionable than some remote terrorists who are now dead. Let's drag a body, SOME body, through the street..

Train, no sensible person would be upset at the Gov't for downing flight 93. Lying about it? That's completely different.

Answer me this, what does it say about Rumsfeld when people are jumping all over this?

If they thought the government downed as part of the conspiracy, YES, they would be quite upset about it.

What does it say about people I say. We are in a war and I think people are more comfortable jumping all over a government type than having any hostility towards muslims perputrating these crimes.

what a waste of an article. talk about trying to make something out of nothing. it was CLEARLY a misstatement.


there's NO evidence the plane got shot down. and what's more, it would've only BENEFITED the government to be able to have claimed that it was able to react in time for 1 of the 4 planes.

it's current assertion is that it was caught off guard for all 4.



almost certainly what happened was the passengers DID hear that other planes were crashed into buildings. knowning their alternative was death, they rushed the cockpit. without strong cockpit doors, the 4 hijackers couldn't keep them out, and had no bombs, no guns, only boxcutters as weapons. not enough. so, either the hijackers lost control of the plane and it went into a dive, or, knowing they would lose to the passengers, they did the dive intentionally. why? because prior to 9/11, merely crashing 1 passenger plane with 40+ people onboard into an empty field and killing them all, would've been the 2nd largest terrorist attack in U.S. history.

The gov't could have shot it down and lied and the only conspiracy was that they lied about shooting it down. They did shoot it down and did lie about it.

And believe me, I've seen PLENTY of hostility towards muslims and arabs since 9-11.

Innocent until "proven" guilty mean anything to anyone?

Assumptions are hardly a case to prove a damn thing.

That said, I never liked Rumsfeld and never will. The man needs to just resign because the Liberal Witch Hunt will continue and only serve to stall the real work Washington needs to be getting done.

It just doesn't make any sense to me that people think the Government does all the bad things liberal minds claim it does, and without consequence. it makes even less sense to me that anyone thinks that either party is better than the other.
Both sides of the isle have their own agendas that split this country in half and it only makes us weak as a Nation, therefore contributing to our own demise in the big picture.

I no longer see either side working to find common ground on any issue anymore. If things don't go their way there is no compromise and obstruction is the first tool that is reached for, and that goes for both party's.

It's gonna fuck us again and again until we understand that there is truth in the phrase "United We Stand, Divided We Fall".

Oh, and if half of the conspiracies i have read about on this site were based in fact, I would be the first to stand up and say "Prosecute Them" to the fullest extent of the law.
Clinton was taken to task over a Blow Job because there was factual proof that he engaged in those acts while in the oval office, so i know there are people who can bring legitimate charges against those who commit crimes from within our Government.
Just because a writer can package his "assumptions" in a nice article doesn't make it true.

I do get a little concerned that so many people make themselves both judge and jury when they are only sourced info from the media.
Have we learned nothing about the lies the media spreads and how the news organizations operate?

I know i can't trust a majority of what i see on the tube or read in the paper.
Maybe that's why our only source for good news is a Bible in todays times.
At least the trials and tribulations we endure can lead to eternal life, if we believe and surrender to God...unless you don't even believe in that, then what hope is there, really?

I have no faith in man at all, except for myself that is, and even that is questionable at times because i'm only human.
It may help for people to remember that politicians are only human as well...it's their agendas that seperate them from everyone else.

I think you give too much credit to the boogeyman in the government and not enough on fact. If there is not enough fact for ME, how do you expect "justice"? Or have you deduced that the government and everyone in it will always be above the law with their "cloak of secrecy"? As I believe ford said eariler in this thread, liars eventually stumble. Be patient, if any of what is being said has any merit it will come out in the wash. To date, it has not, so until evidence changes, I don't agree.

Well thanks for the compliment. "guy" even, not "kid"

This statement:

"If greed, smugness and complacency can explain it, it's a good explanation as far as I'm concerned. No matter what topic is being discussed.

shows how I formulate the most reasonable explanation for events cloaked in mystery. For my own understanding. We talk about conspiracy this and conspiracy that, but I try to be a realist. Anyone with enough power to set such events in motion isn't going to be dislodged from power by anything less than a full popular uprising. I'm no mahatma ghandi, so I bitch about it, smoke some and say "fuck it." that's me. I'm apathetic. This bullshit election made me MUCH worse on this.

Maybe it's the striking out across the country and landing your dream job (I know, not yet, but you're on your way) that gives you the false impression that you can actually change things in this country, I don't know. But I don't share your outlook.

What a revelation! I thought I was one of the people attacking Rumsfeld because he based the invasion of Iraq on false intelligence regarding WMD's,or because he invaded Iraq with insufficient forces and false expectations on how Iraqis would respond.Then I thought I liked him even less when he blew off a soldier asking about armor for vehicles,and then went to Iraq on Christmas like a whipped (by Dubya) dog with his tail between his legs expressing "emotions" that seemed to escape him on his previous encounter with troops.
But that's not it at all! I don't like Rummy because I am so consumed with wanting to be politically correct that I don't want to attack Muslims and would rather attack a white guy to feed my "superiority complex".
The worst part is that there are other white people in the Bush administration I don't care much for either, so I'm in worse shape than I thought.
Will my obsession with being PC ever end? Will I ever satisfy the the ravenous hunger of my "superiority complex"? I had no idea my psyche was in such a fucking mess!

Starting a "SAVE THE RUMMY" campaign there Train? Why don't you turn that statement into a bumper sticker.

The fact is that even many conservatives think Rummy is an imcompetent, cavilier oaf that deserves to be axed at the very least!

You are a complete fucking mess, but that's another story for another day. If you want rummy out for your previous more valid reasons (his decisions in the war-tactical mistakes), that is fine by me. When it is how you "feel" (for example, the manner in which he addressed the troops, a mistake in conversation or "slip up"), then it is a liberal complex.

You yourself have said repeatedly that if the facts were there able to be found, someone would have found them by now.

Certainly there are people who are tying their best with the motivation of a great career so it's not like everyone's all lazy.

Anyway,when did I say that I "feel" (your inappropriate quotation marks) one way or another about a "mistake in conversation" or "slip up"?I realize that this thread was started on that premise,but I got home after it was well on it's way.I haven't mentioned the subject at all. I quoted and responded to your bizarre theory on why Rumsfeld is being attacked on some ( oh well,many) different fronts.
As for the vast difference in the way he spoke to troops on Christmas Eve as compared to his previous encounter in early December,those events speak for themselves.I feel sure that in the future Rumsfeld will follow the lead of the president (another white guy) ,and confine himself to " friendly" Q & A sessions from now on if possible.It's "the will of the people".

OK, I guess I have to compose four responses. As it's late, I'll just do one:

Sesh: I did attack you unfairly in the heat of the moment (responding to this many people at once, wires get crossed, my apologies). I do respect your opinion. My theory, which I admit is just that, an observation nobody has to agree with. You said "bollocks", which meant you disagreed with my observation. My response was that it was an observation looking around at my fellow citizens. As you are not an american citizen, I felt it didn't make sense for you to make a comment about it, as you don't reside here to see what I see everyday.

To Lounge: Generally speaking, I invite all opinions. In this case, he was responding to something he could not POSSIBLY know about, as he is not a US citizen. It's like asking a guy about child birth. I'm glad I'm still your favorite neo con. I still say I just think for myself, like my opinions or not.

To OD: I DO believe people can changes things for the better. That requires hard work and growth, not whining, apathy and wild allegations. That's what I saw at those rallies and what turned me off to them.

These aren't party values I hold, they are basic American values.

Obviously, nothing has checked out at this point, so there is no story. Which means end of story as far as I'm concerned.

To Blue Turk: Read what I said. My "Bizarre" (love those quotes) observation you disagree with fine, I get it. I'm saying to you that while you disagree with it, I think you disagree for some valid logical reasons and some emotional reasons. I think the emotional reasons don't belong. Pure and simple.

This whole thread is TIN FOIL BEANIE TIME.

Now, I've said before, I'm no Rumsfeld apologist. I wished he'd never taken the job. I wished he would've quit and Colin stayed. But.....

When will people learn that it would have been way more advantageous for the Administration to publish the fact that a shoot-down did occur if it did happen?

Also, I worked over sixteen years in the radar/computer /communications/intel field while I was in the service. There is NO WAY IN HELL that the govt could keep a secret of that magnitude.

There would be simply too many radar antennas painting that picture and too many eyes watching those Planned Position Indicators at both civilian and military radar facilities along the eastern edge of the United States.

Most of those sites are data-linked instantly to other sites as well so other people were seeing what was going on.

This is as about as plausible as the shootdown of Flight 800 from a Navy ship. Try to get all those sailors to keep their mouths shut. Uh huh. :rolleyes:

Now, I've said before, I'm no Rumsfeld apologist. I wished he'd never taken the job. I wished he would've quit and Colin stayed. But.....

When will people learn that it would have been way more advantageous for the Administration to publish the fact that a shoot-down did occur if it did happen?

Also, I worked over sixteen years in the radar/computer /communications/intel field while I was in the service. There is NO WAY IN HELL that the govt could keep a secret of that magnitude.

There would be simply too many radar antennas painting that picture and too many eyes watching those Planned Position Indicators at both civilian and military radar facilities along the eastern edge of the United States.

Most of those sites are data-linked instantly to other sites as well so other people were seeing what was going on.

This is as about as plausible as the shootdown of Flight 800 from a Navy ship. Try to get all those sailors to keep their mouths shut. Uh huh. :rolleyes:

OMG! I agree with B3 for the second time today! Rumsfeld is an asshole, there is no secret about that, but I do believe the plane crashed not as a result of a shoot down, but as a result of a counter-hijacking.

Some people in here do not realize how hard it would be to keep this shit secret, people (like me for instance) would talk.

And not everything happens for a reason, read about "Chaos Theory" sometime.

TWA800 however, that's another story!

Appears it really was a slip of the tongue. Nothing more. I went back and researched crash scene photos...it wasn't shot down. There would've been debris all over the place and let's not forget the stream of families that had contact with their loved ones on that flight.

Somebody would've blabbed if it was shot. There's no trail of bodies to follow like Ron Brown.
