Thread: News from the weeks following 9/11/2001

I thought it would be intresting to post news reports from 9/11/2001 and the weeks following 9/11

The Daily Texan

The following quote was from The Daily Texan 9-12-2001

"People on every continent watched in horror as astonishing images of terror in the United States filled their television screens.

But in the West Bank town of Nablus, Palestinians cheered and distributed candy to passers-by, and Iraqi television played a patriotic song that began "Down with America!" as it showed the World Trade Center towers collapsing"

The Daily Texan

Context of 'September 11, 2001'

The images of Palestinians which you make reference to were actually filmed nine days before 9/11, but were repeatedly used as propaganda afterwards to drum up support for an invasion of the Middle East.

Right, whatever you want to believe. Changing history to suit your political ideals does not make it true.

Where do people like you come from?

My guess is either California, New York, or Austin Texas.

As usual, no factual rebuttals from you, just rhetoric. Here's another little bit of history from right after 9/11 for you to consider:

Gary Berntsen, the top CIA agent in Afghanistan during the post-9/11 invasion, left the agency two years short of retirement so that he could reveal some astonishing facts. Berntsen reported that on multiple occassions, US forces had top Taliban and Al-Qaeda leaders, including Bin Laden, pinned, and then let them walk (or fly) away.

The details of this, and other major post-9/11 developments which never made it onto Faux News, can be found here: Complete 911 Timeline: Post-9/11 Afghanistan

Sorry I will not be reading the enemy propaganda that you are spreading around like so much manure over a field of young minds. Attempting to brainwash them to think that America is the enemy.

I love the place that I live, I just hate the people in charge. Your willful ignorance is pretty sad. Your ability at Doublethink is pretty impressive though. Testimony from a top CIA agent=enemy propaganda, and the same goes for articles which cross-reference multiple mainstream news sources. War is Peace and Ignorance is Bliss, eh?

Why so Kev? Try other foods beside the shit fertilized right wing sheep hay.

I've long heard, and tended to believe that those images were from earlier than 9-11. Mostly cause it seemed improbable that a camera crew was right there for an impromtu celebration in a shithole like Palestine. So I went online to back it up.. and have just found that I was mislead. It was CNN which was accused of falsifying the video...and CNN backed it up. They stood by their footage and proved it was authentic. It was really taken after the attack and was a genuine show of celebration.

Color me informed.

Of course... I still have to be a bitch.

CNN still a liberal mouthpiece? Or the best damn news source in America... with the balls to stand by what they air.

No irony here. Exactly what do you attribute your brainwashing too? And why exactly do you think anyone would be stupid enough to think "America" is their friend?
